NEW YORK, Jan. PA festi-
val Of varied entertainment pag-
eantry and dancing that will
make 1t the outstanding social
function Of the season, was the
promise made after a conference
Of officials and committees in
charge Of the Presidents Birthday
Ball, to be given at the Waldorf
Astoria Saturday night to aid the
fight on infantile paralysis.
Carl Byoir, national director of
the balls, told the local group, and
later at the annual dinner Of the
national committee at the Ritz
Carlton, repeated that there will
be 1000 more birthday parties this
year than last, and obviously, the
proceeds will be proportionately
greater.
President Roosevelt was to broad
cast radio greetings to the national
committee here and to local COM
mittees throughout the nation,
when they met last night for their
committee dinners.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Special
proclamation urging Chicagoans to
attend the Presidents Birthday
Ball, intended to raise funds to
combat infantile paralysis, was
issued yesterday by Mayor Kelly.
Calling upon citizens to attend
one Of the four parties to be held
Saturday night at various loca-
tionS throughout the city, the
mayor praised tht double objec-

tive Of the drive-to relieve exist
ing cases Of the dread disease, and
to devise means of preventing it.
At the same time St. Luke'S
Hospital provided visual demon
stration OF the therapeutic tech
niqueS now in use at the Warm
Springs Foundation in Georgia,
where President Roosevelt was
himself treated and which now is
a national center for treatment Of
the affliction.
Seventy per cent of the proceeds
of the birthday ball here will be
allocated to Chicago agencies to
fight infantile paralysis, with the
remainder going to Warm Springs,
so the methods in use at st. Luke'S
will be extended to many other
institutions.

Stars At
Troika
BY FRANCOIS

At Casa Grande tonight, the
boys and gals will swing out on an
old fashioned "old time" party.
Popular ditties of years gone by
that still desiSt the fate Of so
many others lying on a dusty shelf
will lead the harmonizers and
dancers at this regular Wednesday
night feature of the Berwyn, Md,
night spot.
Leading the hill billy band
through the rhythmical years will
be Bob Maynard, who will lead
his boys in requests made on call
from the dance floor.
Russians always have the knack
of putting on colorful show no
matter what the undertaking.
This weeks program at the
Russian Troika bears us out. The
highIight Of the show is musical
sketch, "Lubov Po Chimun," the
MuScovite equivalent of modern
American "golddigging." In the
musical pantomime, Leola Lolick
as the maiden, is overwhelmed
first by drummer boy, then a
colonel, then a major, and finally
an old general.
Put to music and played by
Miss Lolick, MaruSia Sava, Vanya
Orlick and Emil Wadimoff, the
sketch is tremendous hit. Wadi-
moff, who does all of the pro-
duction and costuming work for
the featured sketches, is q for
mer premier baritone Of the Ant
werp opera. He came to America
IL years ago as member OF
the famous Russian show. "Blue-
bird" Prior to his engagement
here, he was producer Of sketches
at the well-known Villa Venice
in Chicago. A creator Of orig
inal ideas, Wadimoff is a master
at Transforming them into gala
musical productions.
The Ambassador Hi-Hat,
source Of many unique and
delightful entertainment innO-
vatiOns in the past, introduces
a new one this week in the
person of Dick Roger, "Sing.
ing Captain of the Walters"
An affable Virginian, Dick spe-
cializes in novelty songs and
dialect numbers. He has
pleasing baritone voice and
should prove q hit with Hi
hat frequenterS.

BUSY SESSION
Many Communications Are
Read - Increase In
Revenues Sought

Fourteen bills m o un ting to
$1495. SO were audited and author
lied for payment at the regular
monthly business meeting held last
night at the Douglas City Council.
With all members, except Mark
Jensen present, the Council, head
ed by Mayor Goetz, consumed the
remainder of a three-hour session
discussing current matters of in
terest
Communications were read from
the University National Bank of Sc
attic relative to bond matters, Gold
en- Glow Distributing Company OF
Seattle enclosing the sum of sic
for taxes on two monographs in
use at beer parlors here; from the
Eureka fire hose company, referring
to payment of a bill; from the Ju-
neau Insurance company, of Juneau,
Stan Grummett, agent, quoting in
surance rates of $3.50 per hundred
fer one year on the Coliseum thea
ire building, and $160 per hundred
on the city hall, or double those
amounts for three years premiums.
The latter drew the Councils atten-
ton to the material reduction in
rates now quoted for Douglas due
to the new water system.
Financial Report
Financial report rendered by Clerk
w. Burr johnson gave the follow
ing figures as of January Is: Total
receipts, $22,66428; total expendi-

hand, $83261.
Increase in Revenues Sought
Considerable discussion was held
over methods for securing addition
al revenues to properly meet the
bonded interest and payment on the
water and sewer systems. A sewer
assessment against each house or
lot serviced was tentatively decided
upon as an appropriate method.
1t was also decided to charge each
new house to be connected with the
water system, a flat charge of SIS,
which will include the furnishing
of two shut off cocks. Ordinance to
cover will be drawn up. Matter OF
delinquent taxes was passed over
after some talk.

lem as Congress convened. AS in
the case ofits sinking patient, there
is not too much time, politically
speaking, to try out many home
remedies. Approximately 100 strikes
already are in progress. One New

inc tsrike alone has caused a loss
of $500,000000. Such losses take
the edge off recovery.
Yet you find President Roosevelt,
the ultimate New Deal physician,
still hoping for home remedy. Evil

once Federal regulation is invited

Roughly, this is what ONGahoney

blazing building to the street. While

eral Miles command and placed in

of times. He engaged in the Lame
Deer battle with the Nez Perces in
1877. The next year he fought against
the Bannacks, and in ITO took part in
the running fight against Sitting Bull.
He spent the summer Of 1880 in the

ent at the capture of the Sioux tribe.
The temperature at the time was 60
