Pageantry to
Help Win War

And now 1t is pageantry that is to
play the biggest part In the after-the-
reconstruction period.
This is the opinion Of the country's
best known ~pageantry expert. Miss
Hazel Mac Kaye, sister of the poet,
Percy Mac Kaye.
And she ought to know for she has
done more than any one woman to
develop the pageant art. She herself
has written and staged sixteen
pageants.
Before she turned author she. was
an actress. starring in a number OF
Broadway productions. She played In
three of her brothers plays, including
his, Canterbury Pilgrims"
And now she has come o the staff
Of the war work council of the Wv.
C. A. as a special war worker. Her
lob is to prepare pageants to be given.
in recreation centers in camp and mu-
nition>communities.
=. Tho DARKNESS and Light" pageant,
which ran for months at a time In
each of these cities: Boston, Cfncin-
natl. Baltimore and Chicago, was
written and staged by her. 1t was the
history Of the church done in stage
pictures.
Miss Mac Kaye has turned her art
to the suffrage cause. too. At Presi-
dent Wilson's first inauguration her
pageant 1.-The .Allegory," a suffrage
story. was given on the steps OF the
United States treasury. h was the
first time a government building was
used for the of woman suffrage.

Women's Suffrage put on one OF, her
pageants and she also wrote the

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
IS MEETING CRITICISM
Appointment OF EN-Onicio Members
May BE Followed in Other
States.
GREAT SAVING IN EXPENSE
Puts Departments OF State in Closer

Makes Their Office Forces Avail

While there has been some adverse
criticism OF the Governors action in
creating State Council OF Defense
from state officials, ii is the belief
of some that his idea will eventually
become the model for those in many
other states. It was stated yesterday
by one who has studied the situation
closely.
PrimariaIly this person stated. the
Counsel OF Defense is designed TO eNpe-
dite the operation OF suggestions ema-
mating from the central government.
