DANA RELIEF
HOME OPENS
Reception and Banquet Held
at New Building in Mar
ket Street

A reception and banquet was held
Saturday night for the formal open
ing of the new home for the Dana
Relief Society at its building at
Market and Oak streets. Between
$50 and 400 members and guests
that included the wives and lady
friends of the members gathered for
the occasion when an elaborate pro-
gram was carried out. An excellent
dinner was served which began at
1880 o'clock and it was near 1880
o'clock before the last course had
been served.
The first part of the program con-
sisted of turning over the key of the
new building by Richard Mathiasen,
contractor, to Thomas Petersen, the
president of the society. This was
followed by the address of welcome

the building committee who acted as
POSTMASTER, and the addresses by
the various speakers down on the
program.
The speakers were Mayor William
c. Wilson, Senator Morgan l.. Lar
son, DIR. John i. Lund, Rev. V. B.
Skov, pastor Our Savior's Danish
Lutheran church, and A. Kringle-
back. Each spoke of the good work
of the society started in this
city number of years ago and what
progress it had made in the commu-
nifty during it's existence.
After the banquet dancing was
held until late hour to music fur
nished by Professor Marinus Peter
sons orchestra. The entire building
was decorated with flags and bunting
for the occasion and presented
unique appearance for the opening.
Refreshments of various kinds were
served during the evening to the
members and guests.
The new home of the Dana Society
is one of the most up-to-date b. lid
ings of it's kind in the city. The
building IS two stories and basement
and contains every convenience for
lodge and social purposes.
In the basement is the kitchen and
grill room and a special room for
serving of ice cream or refreshments
together with the boiler room in this
part of the building. The first floor

than 500 people. There is also
stage and balcony in connection with
the assembly hall. The second floor
is fitted up with the janitors quar-
ters, lodge rooms, pool room and re-
ception rooms.
The building has been completely
furnished with everything of the
best. Ingvard Greisen was the ar
chitect and Richard Mathiasen was
the general contractor and builder.
Those on the building committee
were Carl G. Christensen, chairman:
Hans Krogh. John Hanson, Sr., Emil
Koyen and Jens NJ. Olsen. The build
ing was started early in the fall and
its completion of the structure was
several weeks ago.

THE idea of the Has
the World Gone Mad" is new TO me,
as 1 vener knew people acted so
wild today. l suppose it's true
though. and this picture ought 20
show the wild ones that it doesn't
pay to let loose"
Bradford Kellough. who has not
seen the movies for a period Of
twelve years, in a written review
gives his impressions of the photo
play. The review follows:
when / saw movies last. which
was about twelve years ago in the
nickelodeon in New York City, I
came cut with blind staggers. We
really never went to the nicolette to
see what the picture was about, as
people do today. The subject of the
picture was the last thing in our
minds. What we came for was TO
see the pictures move. AS long as
they did that we were satisfied.
Most of the time they moved too
much for us. They sputtered and
fiickered, but that didn't bother us.
We never could make out the titles,
either. The novelty of seeing movies
was enough.
Pictures those days were no more
than three reels long. We never
knew what we were going TO see.
The theatre man himself wasn't sure
what he was showing. They'd ad-
vertise a wild west picture and when
we'd get in we'd see Samson and
Delilah. Very often there would be
enc reel of one pictUrs and another
OF different picture. They'd show the
last reel first and th~ first one last.
/ Theatres, Of course, weren't as big
as they are today. nor as sanitary

seat houses going up. there's been
iluite a change. In our time therA
was only one entrance and that was
the exit. Wed choke up the dors-s
fire escapes and alleys.
| Bunny was what Arbuckle used
| to be. and Broncho Billy was the
Fairbanks Of ou- day. The pictures
were of the rough and tumble var g.
ty, and the comedies were mostly
| foreign, especially French. Some.
times a man would talk behind the
| screen as the pictures flashed, and
he'd generally be a few paragraphs
| behind the screen actors.

lucky to get that much. In this pic

well known characters. and the set
tings are extravagant. and not as
! poor as we used to see years ago"

too busy engaged with his public

HIGHWAY BOARD
ON AMBOY AVE.
Engineer and Board Makes
inspection of Work on New
Route to Woodbridge

Major William G. Sloan, state
highway engineer, accompanied by
members of the State Highway Com
mission, visited the site of the pro-
posed new Amboy avenue road this
morning and looked over the work
now being done there by the con-
tractor. Neither Major Sloan, nor
members of the commission made
any comment on the work that is
being done, 1t is said.
The contractor, according to City
Engineer Louis p. Booz, Jr., is max
ing rapid work in removing the
earth from the big cut and placing
it in the fill. At the present time
considerable trouble is being exper-
fenced in making the earth thrown
in the fill settle, as the water in the
mud which is located between the
top of the fill ana the solid gravel
bottom holds the earth up. Indi-
cations at this time are that this
earth will not settle in the fill until
after the fill has dried out with the
coming of warm weather.

something left with him which they
could not take away; for In the
moment he had stood alone with her
and passionately pleading. something
had passed between them-he could
give no name to 1t, but he knew that
Harriet Santo!ne never could think
Of him again without stirring OF her
pulses which drew her toward him.
The following morning the relieving
snowplows arrived from the East. and
Eaton felt II was the beginning Of
the end for him. He watched from bis

then the train moved forward past

rock and pieces OF the snowplow were
piled beside the track-siopped.

began to take up Its steady progress.
The attack upon Santoine having
taken place In Montana, Eaton thought
that he would be turned over TO the
police somewhere within that state.
and he expected II would be done at
the first stop: but when the train
slowed at Simons, he saw the town
was nothing more than a little hamlet
beside side-track. They surely
could not deliver him to the village
authorities here.
II made no material difference TO
him. Eaton realized. whether the po-
lice took him In Montana or Chi
cago. since In either case recogni-
tion Of him would be certain In the
end; but In Chicago this recognition
must be immediate. complete. and ut.
terly convincing.
The train was travelling steadily and
faster than It's regular schedule; 1t
evidently was running as a special,
some other train taking the ordinary
traffic; 1t halted now only at the
largest cities. In the morning 1t

some large city which Eaton knew
must be Minneapolis or ST. Paul. The
car here was uncoupled from the train
and picked up by a switch engine; as
dusk fell, Eaton, peering out Of his
window. could see that they had been
left lying In the railroad yards; and
about midnight. awakening In his
berth. he realized that the car was
still motionless. He could account
for this stoppage In their progress
only by some change In the condition

Was he, perhaps-dead7
No sounds came to him from the
car to confirm Eaton In any con-
clusion; there was nothing to be
learned from anyone outside the car.
Eaton lay for long time. listening
for other sounds and wondering what
was occurring-or had occurred--at
the other end OF his car. Toward
morning he fell asleep.
