At the Auditorium last evening Lewis and Marks presented that fuu- ny comedy, Casey's Celebration, the comedy produced by Bert Lewis. an original Irishman, and Albert Marks. was clean and clever. The. singing of Alice Guilmette was pleasing. Alice Lewis. another clever little lady, put over a few rag Plumbers with great pep" Bert Lewis. billed as The Irish Nut, is certainly very funny in this playlet. and the big audience ap- plauded their approval at the close of each musical number. The chorus are well trained. and their singing is one of their many charms. Some decided iy unusual scenes, showing American troops fighting with the Moros in the Philippines are shown in Tides of Fate. which is the feature picture at 1he Auditorium for today only. These scenes are but few of the mighty in teresting things seen in. this picture. For instance there are scenes show ing mine in operation that will prove or great interest to everyone. It is a mighty interesting photodrama throughout. You will most certainly enjoy it. Another one of those funny Sunshine comedies today, and don't forget the big Tango contest tonight. Cash prizes will be awarded. Those young men who have no partner may select one out Of The Dancing Doll chorus. Plenty of good fun tonight. 30 don't miss it.

SENT TO SOLDIERS
 AND WAR REFUGEES
Articles to Number of 2e,5c0 Forward
 ed by Christian Scientists.


 About 29,50O articles were prepared and sent to enlisted men and war re- fugees by the Comford Forwarding Committee, conducted by the Christian Scientists of the Boston district and located at BPS Boylston Street, Bos- ton, during the first three months of the committees work. Among the
 goods forwarded were 1s000 knitted articles and comfort kits, $500 articles of new clothing for French. Italian. Belgian, and Serbian refugee children. and about 800 selected second hand remade articles of clothing.
 One American ship has been supplied with enough knitted goods, 'totaling $500 pieces, to equip all the sailors on board. A large number of the knitted garments and other comforts have been turned over to the different war relief associations in Boston. which
 are in direct communication with the people of their respective countries, notably the British, French Italian, and Belgian associations. Some of the
 recruits from Boston for the British and Canadian forces were supplied with knitted articles before they, left home.
 A feature of the Comforts Forward . ing Committees work which has brought splendid results is the ''unit system" of preparing new garments for refugee children Then of the committee were first instructed in the
 making of a model garment, each of the ten instructed ten others and the latter became captains of teams of l ten others whom they in turn instruct ed. Two groups of team captains
 meet at the committees rooms every day to receive instructions and ma terial for use by themselves at home. Thus 1110 sewers are banded togeth-
 CT for this particular part of the com
 mittee's program and they are turn ing out an average of over 1000 gar
 ments a week. In this work, they
 have been greatly assisted by one of the patriotic manufacturing companies
 of Boston, which offered and has un-
 dertaken to do all the cutting re- quired for these garments.
 | Before beginning to sew for the re- fugees of any country. the committee
 ascertained not only what articles
 needed but also the form and material
 desired, so far as was possible. It was learned for instance. that so common
 an article of general use as a pillow case was, in one country for which
 the teams were sewing, very unlike the pillow case of the American home For knitters, wool is sold over the counter. instructions are given, and ! the finished garment is returned to the committees headquarters when ! ready. g, In addition. there are four
 knitting machines in operation, on each of which it is possible to knit a pair
 of socks in 20 minutes.
 | Much praise has been given to the Comforts Forwarding Committee of
 the Christian Scientists by persons as
 sociated with other war relief organi-
 zations, for the high quality of the
 articles produced and the systematic
 manner of their production. Nearly 800 such committees are conducted by
 Christian Scientists throughout the United States. ,
