JUNIOR RED CROSS RAISES $100 BY
 ENTERTAINMENT

An enthusiastic ana appreclatlVe au- dience greeted the High School and grade pupils in the Athletic entertain ment given at Moose Hall last even- ing under the auspices of the Junior Red Cross. Over $1OO was raised and the money will be used in Red Cross work by the students this coming winter.
 The calisthenic and physical exer- cises were the feature of the evening" The work of the boys and girls under the able direction of MT. Hughes was a revelation to those present and a great proof of what can be done by hard work in so short period. The same style of exercises that are given ing camps of the United States were gone thru by the Junior and Senior boys and girls.
 Professor Knox made a few intro- ductory remarks, reminding the audi ence of the great stress being placed upon physical education at the present time and emphacized the part that must be played by our public schools if our young men and women are to be prepared to meet the duties and he- sponsibilities that will be placed upon them both during and after the war. The exercises of the evening were in tended to demonstrate, in a measure, just what Ketchikan schools were try ing to do to meet this antional need.
 Every number on the program was we'll carried out and we'll received. The Folk Dances, under the direction of Miss Hawk, were especially enjoy able.
 One of the purely amusing features of the program was the Ladies Con- servation Orchestra by the ninth grade girls of the Domestic Science classes under the guidance of Msis Osborne.
 They were forced to respond to many encores.
 All in all the program was very amusing, instructive and patriotic and it is to be hoped that Ketchikan will be fortunate enough to enjoy several more before the winter is over.

MARY PICkFORD

Mary Pickford's next appearance in an Aircraft picture will be an adapt ion by Frances Marion of "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley" from the novel by Belle K. Maniate This is said to te the funniest photoplay in which Americas Sweetheart" has ever ap- peared in, but while the story consists principally of amusing incidents it is full of simple, homely philosophy and endeavors to show that people from the environments of Clothes Line Alley can never mix happily with the upper stratum of society.
 The famous stars last appearance on the screen was in dual role if1 Stella Maris,' in which she scored a sensational triumph. "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley" which will be the attraction at the Dream Theatre on Sunday and Monday is expected to duplicate this success, as the scenario is by the same author, and the prOduc- tion was directed by Marshall Neilan, the same combination responsible for Stella Maris. adv.

POLISH WOMEN ENGAGING IN WAR
 TIME ACTIVITIES

DETROIT, September 24.-The an- nual convention of the Polish Wom- ems Alliance opened yesterday in De- troit with a large attendance. This organization which has a membership of over 100000 has bee in existence | for several years and has devoted its efforts to bettering the cultural and educational conditions of Polish-Amer- ican women and children.
 Now that the war has swept every thing else into insignifcance, the AL liance is taking up the question of doing war work for the Polish soldiers in our own army and in the various foreign legions. There are also many Polish boys in German prison camps. These the Women's Alliance wants to reach. It wants to secure as many comforts as possible for them and see that they receive decent treatment.
 Polish women have already been ac- tive in helping their countrymen in the U. s. Army. A story is told Of a Polish woman in the District of Columbia who, although she keeps a i large boarding house and has to work hard to suppor therself, nevertheless gives two hours of each day to visit 1 ing and caring for Polish-American soldiers at the Walter Reed Hospital. It is such wartime activities as this that the Polish Women's Alliance is anxious to stimulate and spread.

ITALIANS IN AMERICA HELP kINSMEN
 OVER SEAS

Italians in this country have been active in relief work for their brothers in the Italian and U. s. Army hospi- tals and for such of them as have been taken prisoner by the Germans. The Red Cross has helped greatly in this. Through it's bureau of Allied prisoners, the Red Cross is every day receiving money contributions for the boys. Only money can be received, because it is no longer permissible to send packages of food and clothing across the water. The money receiv- ed is forwarded to the Italian Red Cross, with directions concerning the individual for whose use it is intend, ed. Everything is carefully accounted for.
 Some of the letters appealing for help are very pathetic and the grate- ful acknowledgements of help are gratifying to the Red Cross workers One boy wrote them recently: "I re- ceived your letters and packages and your words were to me like a voice from another world"
 Tn New York and some of the other larger cities, ands of Italian girls meet together in the evening to sew and make surgical dressings for the Red Cross. Most of the girls in these societies work in factories in the day time, and give up most of their recre. ation in order to do the work. One club of this sort, which meets in a room on Madison Avenue in New York turns out 1000 surgical dressings a week.

Enay Monex.

An analyst OF banking conditions yes
terday gave this novel explanation of
the unexpected ease In money at this
time: Up to three weeks ago the Fed
eral reserve notes outstanding expanded
at an average rate of $4,000 weekly
for the country. Two weeks ago this
was cut to an imitation Of s25, 1000. 900
and one week ago the expansion was only
Sc, 900. 200. I haven't seen the figures of
the Federal Reserve Board for this week.
hut Judging by the New York Federal
Reserve Bank Statement the amount out
standing stood still. What is the ex-
PLANTATION Of this phenomena? II seems
to me that as a result of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign lot of currency
that had been boarded by individuals
has been turned in in partial or full
payment Of Subscriptions. This reduc-
ton Of cash as carried around by indi-
viduais has naturally aided the initial
payment on the Fourth Loan, which, /
understand, has been remarkably large.
In this district alone not far from 60 per
cent. or 100000 600 of New York's
s., 600, 000. 900 subscription, has been set
tied for with cash, book credits and GER
tificates of indebtedness, and for the
country not far from 40 per cent. or
s2750, O00. 900 OF the s6.s66. 900 600 sub
scriptions has been accounted for. 1t Is
not too much to say that the result has
exceeded every expectation and tempo
rary ease in money in view OF these cir
cumstances occasions no surprise"
