a play called "Then and Now" based
on the history of the organization will
be given by members. Special dancing
features by the juniors have also been
arranged under the general chairman
ship of Mrs Harry ] Bissinger.
In 1894. when the council was
formed. there was considerable opposi
ton. 1t was looked upon as an cntice-
ment for women to leave the duties OF
their homes in order to take up outside
work. At the organization meeting
which was attended by the Rev. Joseph
Krauskopf and the Rev. DR.. Berko
witz. one woman questioned whether
"the organization proposed would instilI
into the children reverence for their
parents, love of their religion or OBJ
servance of the Sabbath"
These difficulties overcome. the or
ganization devoted itself to religion,
and philanthropic work for severa
years before branching out into nationa
and civic life. In the Spanish Ameri
can War the records of the council show
that quantities Of materials and lib
eral donations" were collected.

fields OF endeavor which the council
handles. The outcome of this was the
establishment of the Industrial Home
for Jewish Girls" later known us THE
Grace Aguilar House to take care OF
wayward girls between the ages Of eight
and eighteen years who had improper
home surroundings. In 1917 the. house
was closed after thirteen years Of scrv,.
ice. because by that time the courts had
deveioped n system for handling the de-
linouent and dependent girl.
From the more intimate work among
Jewish girls and women in Philadelphia
the organization has of late years taken
very active part in civic movements.
It has joined with the Monday Confer
cnce, il has entered into the various
activities of war work and from the
first year has been member OF the

troubles other schools are having in
the development of football teams
are cheering to the student body.

PROVIDE Way
FOR SAVING

WASHINGTON, Oct 1--Total
sales of War Savings Stamps through
out the United States for the first
seven months of 1919 amounted to
nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO, according to a
report made by the savings division
of the treasury department. The ex-
act figure is $95, 0,47O.21. This
makes a per capita investment of
about ninety cents, whereas the gov
eminent at the beginning of the year
asked a per capita purchase of $40
worth of war stamps in order to meet
war debts.
The saving of nearly 1OO,O0O000 in
seven months is concrete proof that
the governments thrift campaign is
checking extravaganza expenditures, :"
the report says" Checking of extrav-
agant buying is the only remedy for
high prices. Saving $1O0,00O,OOO
simply means cutting down demand
by $1O0,O00,000 and turning the money
to much needed production of neces-
Stiles"
Leading economists of the country
have said there is no hope of lower
prices until the people understand
generally that they must stop buying
things that are not necessary and
they have Endorsed the United States
government war savings stamps cam
paign as the most effective remedy to
that end.

The White Sox' Manager

CHICAGO, Oct. 1 (by Associated
Press)-William "Kid" Gleason, man.
ager of the Chicago White Sox, has
been in major league baseball thirty
three years. He was born at Cam
den, N. j., October 26, 1865, and be-
gan his baseball career in 1886 at
Williamsport, Pa. While James Cal
lahan was manager of the Chicago
American League team, Gleason was
assistant manager and coach, and
after Callahan was replaced by CIar-
ence Rowland in 1917, Gleason con-
tinued with the club as aide to Row.
land, and it is said that much of the
success of the White Sox that season
was attributable to the work of Glea-
son. The next season, 1918, Gleason
stepped out of baseball and went in
to business in Philadelphia. where
he and Otto Knabe of the Chicago
Nationals are partners. Before the
present season was started Charles
A. Commiskey, owner of the White
Sox, decided upon a change of man
ager and Gleason was re-engaged.
Although Gleason is old enough to
be the father of a majority of his
players, he is as active and handy
with boxing gloves as any man
on the team, not excepting Kerr, who
is pugilist far above the average.
Gleason tips the scales at about
ITS pounds and is five feet, seven and
quarter inches tall He is married
and lives in Philadelphia. This is
the seventh year that Gleason has
been with the White Sox. In the old
days, Gleason, who is a student of
the "Old school," was a member of
the famous Baltimore Orioles, and
still carries out all his teachings of
the old masters-fght and never give
up. He has instilled this fighting
spirit into the men on the White
Sox, and it is this more than any,
thing else which has placed the club
at the head Of the American League,
Gleason is postmaster in the art
of handling players. When he notices
a player slipping he quietly benches
the player and sends in substitute.
Time after time the player taken out
has returned to the game and PLAYED
at top speed. During batting prac-
tlce Gleason will always be found
with bat in his hand and making
the infielders "step some He bats
and throws right handed. In his ear.
ly days in baseball Gleason was a
pitcher, and he declares that TODAY he
can pitch better than majority of
the box men in the League.
