Jack Fletchers payment of one stunt, scrubbing the lobby floor of the Capitol Theatre, had rather dramatic and unexpected finish i last night when he was suddenly overcome by his arduous labors.
 The Baranof Hotel manager started to have the sweats, followed by heebie- -jeebies, which rapidly progressed into what learned medicos, after due consultation, termed a severe case of chronic non-compus poopus, (total exhaus- tion to you), brought on by unac- customed exposure to hard work.

bers of the Twentieth Century Club

ing of the Civics-Education Com

accidents could be eliminated if one
person in every home took a short
course in Red Cross accident pre-
vention" he declared.
The speaker pointed out some of
the causes of accidents about the
home. These include rugs on wax
floors, lack Of light, hurry and IA
tigue, and icy walks. The kitchen is
the most dangerous place for acci-
dents, he added. and the majority

scripts with the late Mrs. Ben
nett Champ Clark.
When she wanted to do volun-
teer war work, she spoke to sew
eral Red Cross friends, asked
them what she could do that
would be of most help. All agreed
that her writing talents could be
best utilized in Red Cross radio
programs. She then took the
Staff assistance course and once
that was completed went right
to work. She has only appeared
once on a program which used
her script and that was when
she interviewed wives of several
ambassadors about Red Cross
work in their respective coun-
tries.
She has accompanied her hus-
band on many business trips to
South America and took the op-
portunity to see what other Red
Cross Chapters were doing. She
also was much impressed with the
Mexican Red Cross, she told us,
when she saw their work on her
last trip there. She finds that
American women cooperate with
the local Red Cross chapters in
foreign lands, just as foreign
women have done in this country,
and this cooperation, she thinks,
is one of the greatest things about
Red Cross work.
