Club Program Suggestions

The following suggestions by Mrs.
Bessie Leach Priddy, chairman
Civics. G. f. w. c.. appearing in the
July General Federation magazine.
will be helpful to clubs in the pre-
paration of programs for tina COM
ing year:
/. The club movement was once
for personal culture and social en-
joyment. 1t is no longer so.
?. Club women today are largely
high school and college graduates.
3. The club spirit OF today is bap-
tized with the twentieth century
spirit of social service.
4. Now is "A golden opportunity
for inspiring women to social and
civic service-they have learned
how TO work-how TO cooperate.
g. The means of their inspira-
ton is the club program-prOgram
makers are responsible for club in
terest and club activities.
8. Build the program around a
subject worthy of years study and
discussion-don't have those scrap
py-pink tea programs. with half
hour TO art. a half hour to the pyra-
mids of Egypt and 20 minutes for
civics.
Z. Choose a years subject from
topics on which there is a consider
able amount OF authoritative litera-
ture.
s. Make out reading list for the
general use Of the club-that they
may read TO the subject OF the years
study Little can be absorbed from
papers read TO an audience along the
same line. Have a course or study
made cut for the use OF the club
and then give the topics for papers
out in such a way as 10 have the
program amplify the high points or
main sub-topiCs in the subject ur-
der investigation. II club members
would use notebooks in study and
during the programs greater bene-
fit would be obtained.

not enough to have elaborate pro-
grams and talk about social welfare

jected plans and experiments for

head an attractive little toque, trim

three cerise roses selected for the

ribbon toned pleasantly with the

cerise velvet ribbon, round the waist

roses.
In making the hat. the head lining

sAxoNY WAR MINISTER SLAIN.

COPENHAGEN.-Herr Nuering.
war minister in the government of
Saxony was killed at Dresden yester-
day by distinguished soldiers to whom
the minister had refused a hearing.
The war ministry was stormed by
demonstrators who dragged out Herr
Nuering and threw him into the Elbe,
where he was shot and killed as he
tried to swim to the bank.
Wounded patients in the Dresden
hospitals, says the Dresden dispatch
detailing the occurrence, collected in
the morning in the theater square to
protest against an order issued by
Herr Nuering to the effect that the
wounded in the future should receive
only peace time pay. Five or six hum
dred men formed a procession to the
war ministry and sent a deputation
to see the minister who refused, how
ever, to receive them.
Troops Refuse to Interfere.
Upon this the crowd melted by
communistic speakers, stormed the
entrance to the building. The sem
tries used their weapons but were
overpowered. Government troops
were summoned but they declared
they would not attack the crowd and
marched off after surrendering their
arms.
An exciting crowd meanwhile had
thronged the square in front of the
building and machine guns posted at
various points were firing on the min
istry. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon
the demonstrators had forced their
way into the main building, followed
the war minister to the upper story,
where he bad fled, and dragged him
out into the street.
After the minister had been severe
ly maltreated by the crowd he was
hurled from the bridge into the river
When he tried to swim to the bank
the demonstrators fired at him anC
within a few moments he disappeared
under the water.

HERO SAYS SALVATION
ARMY IS REAL FOLKS"
ALABAMA SERGEANT SAYS OR
GANIZATION RENDERED THE
GREATEST SERVICE.

The first quarter out of four mil
lion quarters to be raised in the
South by the Salvation Army, for
their home service work, was con-
tributed today by Sergeant James
Thompson, Of Birmingham, Ala, who
is back from France after eighteen
months service with the Rainbow di-
vision. He was awarded the Croix
de Guerre for exceptional bravery.
When told that the Salvation Army
was planning to raise a half million
dollars in this section Sergeant
Thompson asked to have the honor
of making the first contribution to
the fund, stating that he had resolv-
ed never again to miss an opportuni-
ty to help these real folks" as he
termed them.
For the number of workers that
they had" said Sergeant Thompson,
the Salvation Army rendered a
greater service to the boys in the
fighting lines than any other organi-
cation. But the boys just naturally
loved the Salvation Army lassies and
the whole-souled men that helped
them in their work.
They are what we fellows call
real folks. They met the boys on
their own ground and they knew just
what it took to make a fellow feel
better when he was tired and dirty
and ready to quit from pure exhaus-
ton. But when the Salvationists
would meet the fellows with hot cof-
fee, doughnuts and pies-things that
they hadn't had for months, prob
ably-it chirked a fellow up, | can
tell you. And they weren't 'preachy'
about it either, even if their real
work is religion. But then, nothing
could possibly seem more religious to
a doughboy than a sweet-faced Saliva
ton lassie ministering to his body at
he same time cheering him up with
her smile and encoureagements. Boy,
they were great"

some extent, but even so it would be
impossible TO keep actors and actress
es under water for the length of time
necessary to photograph most subma-
rine pictures. Then, too, the expense
of production, high at best, would be
boosted out of sight. So the produc-
ers have resorted to much simpler,
safer and cheaper methods.
In deep sea diving scenes a huge
tank of glass is filled with water in
which fish and seaweed have been
installed. Behind, on a black back
ground, is painted a submarine scene.
Real divers are employed, and, meas
ed in their suits, they prod about in
the decaying hull of a property"
ship. Air bubbles up from the helmets
of the divers; fish rub about their
legs; their feet sink into ooze, and
all the characteristics of the deep sea,
as conceived by the public, are pro-
duced.
Filming the Mermaids.
In mermaid scenes there is anoth-
er method. A glass tank, perhaps a
foot thick, is filled with water, fish
and seaweed, and then filmed. The
tank is removed, and a scene depict
ing the bottom of the sea is prepared
on the stage floor, in front of paint
Led drop showing an aquatic scene.
Actresses made up as mermaids play
about this sea bed, and divers de-
scend from overhead. The same film
used for photographing the tank is
again run through the camera, and
the double exposure produces an eff
feet of startling reality when pro-
jected upon the screen.
Or, with the camera brought up
against the glass front of the thin
aquarium, mermaids and beautiful
women are filmed through the tank,
as they seemingly swim gracefully
about under water. The effect of
swimming is obtained by means of
wires by which the actresses are sus-
pended and which control their move
ments.

SIX MILLION IN INDIA

NO Other Country Suffered as Sc
verely From the Disease.
The government has issued re-
markable report on the influenza cpl
demic by Major Norman White, who
has just vacated the position of san
itary commissioner, which he had
filled with distinction, says the Lon
don Times.
Major White declares that from
the incomplete information available
it would appear that no country has
suffered as severely from the disease
as India during the last quarter of
1918. Without fear of exaggeration
it can be. stated that influenza was
responsible for 100000 deaths,
equivalent to more than half the NOR
tally attributed to plague inc the
twenty-five years during which plague
has been epidemic in this country.
Five million deaths occurred in Brit
ish India and 100000 in the native
states.
