These books, which are to be
placed on sale the week of January
% all over the country, offer to those
who are obliged to stay at home a
fine chance to contribute to the camp
life of the soldiers wholesome and
cheerful entertainment. As gifts
these "Smileage Books" will possess
a distinctive character.
Each time the soldier tears coup
ons from his book he will in a sense
touch hands with the person who
sent it to him, and, of course, in a
great many cases the donor will re-
main an unknown benefactor though
there is place on every coupon for
the giver to sign his name, thus add
ing a personal touch to his gift.
No doubt, of course, the most
popular soldiers will receive the
most "Smileage Books, but this
should not matter, for it is charac-
teristic of the American soldier to
share his abundance with his mates.
It is, indeed, an army axiom that
everything is common property
around camp except money, and all
you have to do is to ask the next

talent. of which plenty has been dis
covered among the boys themselves.
The third week will be devoted to
vaudeville, two performances day,
and the fourth week will be another
miscellaneous week.
Four Broadway companies will
present Broadway comedy successes,
the plays already arranged for be-
Ing; Turn to the Right" Cheating
Cheaters," "Here Comes the Bride"
and "Inside tho Lines" Plans are
already under way for the presenta-
ton OF musical comedies and light
operas, those under consideration be-
ing: The Prince of Pilsen." "The
Red MIL" "The Chocolate Soldier"
"Robin Hood" and the Gilbert and
Sullivan productions. E. F. Albee,
the we'll known general manager of
the Keith Circuit, has arranged four
special vaudeville bills whose rout-
ings through the camps viii be so
arranged as to prevent an UNMARRIED
succession in amy camp of any one
kind of entertainment.
Through Harry P. Harrison, the
Chautauquas have arranged to pro-
vide their best talent and most at
tractive features, including graphic
lectures from men who have returned
from "over there" The Chautauquas
will also provide Jazz Bands, orches-
tras, the members of which viii also
sing and put on special stunts; his
torical and patriotic musical reviews
and SO on.
All this. of course, is going to cost
money-a good deal of money. Take
the Liberty Theaters, for instance.
Their erection was paid for from ap-
preparations by the government and
supervised by the War Department
Commission or Training Camp
Activities. Each is 80 feet wide
and ITO long. They are built of pine
boards, implanted, but faced with
heavy building paper, making the
sides wind tight. Complete ventilat-
ing systems have been installed and
during the winter heat is supplied by
steam and small stoves. Each
theater has FIVE large entrances and
fifteen exits and a building, which
seats comfortably 5000 men, may be
emptied in about one minute
The stage of each theater IS COM
plete and modern; siXty-five feet
wide and deep enough TO stage any
production. The floor of the audi

AND WAGON
CRASH; HORSE KILLED

On G, between Cervantes and Strong
streets, at an early hour last night,
the police were called to investigate
an accident, and upon arrival of an
officer on the scene it was found that
a wagon, the property of Bill Vaughan,
was smashed to kindling wood, while
the horse, which was hitched to the
wagon, was so badly hurt that he was
later killed by r. Suarez, at tie re
quest of the owner.
The automobile which crashed into
Vaughan's horse and wagon is said to
have been owned and operated by Jim
Bracey, white, who operates a taxicab
line between this city and Moline, and
a warrent was issued for his arrest
Up to late hour, however, he had not
been apprehended.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-01-19

but the managers have met with
such patriotic cooperation as to put
these entertainments within the
reach of every soldier.
Operating expense has been re-
duced to such a practical and patri-
otto basis that the actual cost of
these performances to the soldiers
will range from five cents to twenty
five cents a seat, with a majority at
ten and fifteen cents.
Even at these bedrock prices it is
realized that there viii be many sol
diers who cannot afford to attend
many performances, but even this
has been provided for.
The Commission on Training
Camp Activities has devised a book
of coupon tickets in two sizes. One
book sells for 81, and contains TWEEN
ty coupons good for admission; an
other sells for S5 and contains tick
cts of admission to one hundred
performances.
They are called "Smileage Books"
and the coupons they contain are
good for seats at any performance
at any camp theater.

FLORIDA FERTILIZER
PLANTS EXEMPTED

JORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, Jan. 1S--The fuel adj
ministration issued order late today
placing fertilizer plants in Florida in
the class exempted from yesterdays
ruling closing down all industrial
plants. A large number of kilograms
were received by Senators Fletcher
and TrammeH today from operators
of fertilizer plants in Florida urging
that they be permitted to operate. They
urged that the amount of coal they
used would be small compared to the
damage that would result from lack
of fertilizer to supply the farmers this
spring. Fletcher and TrammeI took
up the. matter with Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Houston, Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield and Food Administrator
Hoover. They explained to the gov
eminent officials that Florida fertilizer
plants are already behind with pro-
duction OF fertilizer. Their interest

forum is saucer-shaped and sloping,
SO that every seat in the house is q
good one; the sections are so num-
bered that seats may be reserved in
advance. The theater is placed on
the highest point in each camp and
nearby are grouped the camp post
office, the library and the hostess
houses, making small town within
itself.
Nor Is the utilitarian value of
these theaters overlooked, for on the
tall tower that comprises the stage
loft, the training soldiers have a
point of vantage for wig-wag sig
mails, giving them practice in long
distance signalling that is sure to
prove useful in the practice of actual
war.
Each theater is provided with
motion-picture booth, asbestos-lined,
and the stage of all of them has an
asbestos curtain. The lighting eff
fects are similar to those used in
city theaters.
Ordinarily, the cost of operating
such q series of theaters, tents and
auditoriums would be prohibitive,

$3.50 or $500, and the highest price
charged the soldier will be rs cents.
To make this possible the citizens
do their part by providing the boys
of the camps the Smileage Books
that will admit them to the shows.
There are sixteen theaters each
seating 5000 soldiers, nightly. This
calls for $4,000 coupons of admis-
sion a night, or $4,000 coupons a
week. Very largely, these must be
the gift of the civilians to the sol
dlers. That IS why the Military En-
tertainment Council looks forward to
the sale of at least 900, 900 Smile
age Books when once the campaign
has starred. AT least so many
books must be sold in the week OF
January %, which marks the first

man for that"
Raymond B. Fosdick, Chairman of
the War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, is enthu-
siastic about this newly created en-
tertainment plan. He writes:
al remember standing on the
streets of Columbus shortly after
Villa had devasted the village, watch
ing our 5000 soldiers come over the
railroad tracks into town in the
evening. There was absolutely
nothing for them TO do there-no
movies, no libraries, no place TO write
letters, no homes to which they
could go-nothing but saloons and
well-organized Red Light district.
"In this war we are driving those
vicious agencies out of business and
setting up clean entertainment III
their place This has direct bear
ing on the health OF our army, and
is an absolute necessity in maintain
ing the morale of our men,"
And this testimony is amply sup
ported by Secretary of War Baker,
who, writing to Chairman Fosdick,
declared:
"a proper amount of clean, whole
some entertainment contributes
largely to the happiness of our sol
diers in camp and is fundamental in
supplementing their physical and
military training.
ITO make such entertainment
readily available for all soldiers is
one of the most important duties of
the War Commission for Training
Camp Activities, and the work must
be continued and extended.

tainment projects will be CONSOLE
