Staggering Total Shown by
Production Of Red Gross
Chapters During War.
NEARLY S1OO, WORTH
This Was Only One Of Many Activi-
ties in Which Their Loyalty to
Their Country Was Shown.

The war achievement of the women
of the United States through the
American Red Cross has just been
made public, and it shows clearly
what they did to win the great con-
fiict.
The report shows but one of the
numerous activities by which they
backed up the country's fighting men,
but the tremendous part they played
is shown in the fact that In two years
they produced nearly $1O0,OO0,OOO
worth of surgical articles and gar
ments, truly staggering total.
Three Million Worked.
1t Is estimated that 3,0OO,00U wo-
men and girls participated in this
tremendous work, and it Is among
them largely that the Red Cross is
now recruiting the million workers
who will assist in the enrolment of
members for 1920 during the ten days
ending Armistice day, when universal
membership will be sought to maintain
the effectiveness of the organization
built up in the war for the big peace
program of the Red Cross.
The approximate number of arti-
Giles, and their estimated value, pro-
duced by the women of the various
Red Cross Divisions of the east, is as
follows:
New England maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island), 29OS4,706 articles, valued at
S7,436,695.

Washington. (Special.) -Through a
complete report of the work of the
American Red Cross in the war by
Chairman Henry P. Dawson, on be-
half of the war council, the organiza
ton on the eve of Its annual enroll
Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to
II, has rendered an accounting Of the
many millions given 1t by the Ameri-
can people to help our fighting men
and our allies. The statement Is, in
part as follows:
1.-THE war council of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make a
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done by
the American Red Cross during the
period In which the war council was
In control of its affairs. The war
council was appointed May 10, 1919,
and went out of existence February
%, 1918.
"It was the practice of the war
council TO give complete publicity to
Its policies and finances, but it is only
now that picture of the war period
as whole can be presented. 1t is
the feeling of the war council that
report in this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the eff
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
"a statement of the American Red
Gross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished Its control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and 1t is i'm
portant, therefore, that the fact that
this report covers the period only until
March l, should be carefully noted"
Following are certain round figures
covering American Red Gross partici-
patton In the war, as revealed by the
war councils report:

Would It not be better to sell 1t to
consumers direct and thus aid in re-

The senator added bitterly:

be expected as the result of the war;
but we didn't expect the uplift to be

State Commissioner Of Health
Calls on It to I TepaTe For
Possible Recurrence.
ITS SERVICES LAST YEAR
BY Reason of Splendid Work the Red
Cross is Asked to Be Ready This
Fail in Case Aid is Needed.

The Commissioner of Health of
Pennsylvania has called upon the Red
Cross as represented here by the
Pennsylvania Delaware Division, to
make suitable preparations to meet a
possible recurrence of the influenza
epidemic this fall.
While it is believed that a repeti-
ton of the disastrous epidemic of last
year is improbable, last years expert
ence has shown that the epidemic de-
veIops with such rapidity that in or
der to provide for prompt and efficient
action, plans should now be formulat-
ed to deal with the possible emer
gency.
Work For Chapters.
To this end the commissioner re-
commends that each Red Cross chap
ter should make a careful survey of
material resources, of buildings, both
actually and potentially available,
and of nurses and nurses aides, CLASH
fed in accordance with their avail
ability for either local service or as
a part of mobile force.
The commissioner suggests that
for the occasional case or in an cpl
demic of slight proportions, arrange
ments with hospitals would meet the
requirements in many localities.
Last Years Services.
All the Red Cross chapters in the
state last year did so much in com
batting the ravages of the disease and
bringing relief to its sufferers that
their familiarity with the conditions
will enable chapter officials to take
whatever precautionary measures
sound judgment will suggest as being
advisable at this time, in order to
promptly meet a similar condition this
year should it arise
As to the prevention and treatment
OF the influenza, the commissioner adj
ises as follows:
Measures of Prevention.
"As for precautionary steps apply
ing to the Individual, there seems
nothing better than the maintenance
of the general health at its highest
point, the avoidance of crowded, over
heated, ill-ventilated places, and the
stunning Of him or her who coughs
without using the handkerchief as one
would a sufferer from smallpox
There is enough evidence of the
value of masks properly constructed,
properly worn, and supplemented by
clean hands to make this measure
advisable, particularly in the case of
those who do cough. This as protec-
ton to others.
1.-THE underlying cause of influenza
has not been discovered, unless it be a
flterable virus, nor Is there any
therapeutics for 1t other than shelter,
good nursing, proper nourishment, and
symptomatic treatment"
The state officials feel that the
work of the Red Cross in the late
epidemic alone has more than fully
justified the existence of the body and
its future continuance. The perfect
organization will be Of great value in
preventing another visitation this fall.

My Ideal Leading
Woman
By Eddie Polo

Show me the girl who is fearless
and courageous, modest and yet
confident of her talents, pleasant in
her disposition and good to look
upon-and if that girl has dramatic
talent / will agree that she is the
ideal leading woman.
For the type Of screen play pro-
duce my leading woman must be an
accomplished equestrienne and a
quick thinker. She must be versa
tile and daring.
She must be ever on her toes,
ready to argue a point and to COM
pete with me, to keep me respon-
sive to the suggestion of her acting.
She must make me exert myself to
keep up with her. She must have
in her the spark of genius and
imagination that will make acting
with her a pleasure and at the same
time a battle of wits and dramatic
force. She should have developed
individuality, something original
and fresh. She must be an in
spiration and must never be dull.
She should be we'll read-that is
very important-and must never be
at loss for an answer.
AS for beauty-that is not really
essential, if she is 1.-THE and athletic,

Many campers are enjoying their

Dancing is attracting crowds.
Dinner parties in the Manawa
cafeteria on the lake shore are pop

in the large, cool pavilion is a never

coaster, roller skating and. many
games and fun devices are also pop
ular. Manager Palm, aided by the
state game department, has installed
a big collection of wild fowls and
animals in cages in one section of
the grounds.

more are scheduled for this week.

Home Hobbies of PLAYERS

Many there are who fondly believe
that a photoplayer's life reads like
the enchanted pages of a fairy
story-that all the marvellous
adventures they experience before
the camera are theirs in real life,
and that when the studio day is over
they follow an existence totally
foreign to the work-a- day world.
But after all there is very little
difference In the lives of just every
day mortals and famous cinema
stars. Outside the limits of the
studio their paths are very similar,
and the uninitiated may be sur-
prised to learn in just how many
details the leisure hours of their
favorie film hero or heroine tally
exactly with their own.
Who would not be surprised to
know that one of the most famous
of screen idols" is an authority
on avacados (the catalogue name
for alligator pears) and that he has
won many prizes for those grown
in his orchards. He is Monroe
Salisbury, and his ranch in Hemit.
is one of the most interesting places
in California.
Dorothy Phillips does not indulge
in temperament away from the
studio, although it might be
expected from her emotionalism
before the camera. She finds
expression of her real self in work
ing in the garden which surround
her Hollywood home. And
friendly rival for honors earned
through horticultural results is
William Stowell, her leading man,
whose garden seems almost too
ideal, for such lone representa-
tive of the species--a bachelor.
Harry Carey owns and super
vises a real western ranch, and his
employees are all bona fide sons of
the west, despite the fact that their
chief, a champion western hero of
the screen, is a New Yorker born
and bred. The Carey ranch is not
alone a hobby, but is a lucrative
investment as we'll.

The Public Be Pleased
By MORRIE RYSKIND.

Mr.. Lasky. Each exhibitor is asked
to throw light on the reason for
better or worse box office results
on every picture.
"You see, we believe that the
exhibitor is on much better terms
with the public than we are. He
knows-and this goes for Weehaw-
ken as we'll as New York-just what
they want and why they want it. We
encourage him to ask his patrons
why they like certain picture and
why they didn't like a certain other
type.
"A special confidential bulletin is
sued by Mr.. Shorley's department
is studied closely by the executives
of our company, and our directors
and studio managers in both New
York and Los Angeles.
The result is that we know not
only when to credit for a success.
but if weakness exists in any pro-
duction we trace it back to the per-
son in our organization responsible
for that weakness. By weakness we
mean box-office weakness; we be-
lieve in giving the public exactly
whatit wants. Wherefore we appea'
to the public to tell the exhibitors
just what it likes or dislikes about
pictures.
1--WE Judge of the seriousness of
fault by the number of times it is
called to our attention, yet we do
not overlook single detail that has

ton by an exhibitor We have so

Costs $l0O to Win Dime.

Kansas City, Mo.-It cost H. L.
Tarbet, a taxi cab driver, $l00 to
win a l0-cent cigar. Tarbet and
Slim Sanford, employed by the
same firm, made the bet. The two
started for the union station.
They passed officer Joseph Dam
leo, driving a car on his way to
work, He started in pursuit of the
two cars as they sped by him. When
the taxi cabs arrived at the station
Tarbet was first. "You win," said

TTOWSOEVER the thing may
II work out in other fields, it
AA seems to be a fact that so
far as the screen is concerned, the
public is about getting what it
wants. You may not like the trans
portation system of your town-and
pray what town has system which
satisfies its patrons?-but you've got
to grin and bear it; but if you
don't like the sort of pictures that
a certain star appears in, you, don't
go to see 'em; you go across the
street to find the sort of movies that
you like. If there are no movies
you like, you're i, the hopeless
minority; and, anyway, you don't
count at the box office.
For the box office Is the final
answer The exhibitor guages by
what his receipts show the sort Of
pictures that are popular; that's the
sort he must give you to continue to
get your patronage. And the pro-
ducer sees what sort of pictures the
exhibitor is booking from him; and
if exhibitors stop booking certain
types, why, the producer, being a
business man stops making them.
