FOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB
CONCERT ARE COMPLETE
Several huge packagos arrived on
the Alameda, directed to the various
members of the Girls' Glee Club.
They rushed down to got them, and
when they opened them, expressions
and gurgles of delight were heard
everywhere. Such gowns and fashions
you never did see! Tall ones, little
ones, slim ones, fat onas-^-ruffles,
tucks, straight lines, beads and shir
rings! .Navajo Indian blankets, In
dian and Camp Fire costumes, head
bands, mocassins—costumes worn in
the Minuet Days, wigs, slippers, fans,
powder-puffs—all were spread out in
gay profusion. It was a sight to
delight the most uninterested observ
er. More delightful were the cos
tumes when tried on. and many were
the gay caprices and dainty steps
danced with them on.
The costumes will be worn at the
concert to be given by the Glee Club
at the Hi Auditorium tomorrow night.
Jacob Rritt and Harry Ellingen,
stage managers for the great con
cert, announce that they have se
cure.l an Indian stage setting so real
and characteristic that it will seem
a vei liable relic of pioneer days. h
tepee, fire and kettle, pine, spruce
and evergreen background, with a
group of Indian maidens, singing
‘ From the Land of the Sky Blue
Water1'—and you wonder it you are
living in the 20th century.
In the Nursery Rhyme Suite, the
girls will Introduce Miss Bo Peep,
Hinnty-Dumpty, the Man In the Moon
and Little Jack Horner to the pub
lic. Mother Goose was unwilling to
Ihus let her children jump out of
the story 'book, but with the proper
persuasion, grudgingly consented—
and what Is more, (they will sing for
you.
In the "Pancake Song," six girls
will demonstrate the latest methods
In .making hot-cakes—in such a man
ner as to delight the most hardened
Sourdough, and force him to admit
that these fine cooks have it all over
the dough-crusted and sour-bubbllng
methods of the days of '98.
Then—for those who are weary,
and would not have merriment—the
girls will cheer with “Little Mother
of Mine,” “In the Time of Roses”
and the “Irish Love Song.” The
lovely harmony and sweet peace of
these melodies are guaranteed to
sooth the most furrowed brow
Last but not least— Mammy Chioe

MANY W. C. T, U. HOMES FOR
WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE
MAINTAINED {ANNUAL REPORT
CHICAGO, April 12.—In a survey j
of its philanthropic work just made, I
the National Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union is devoting more than
100 pieces of property in the United
States to the ccmfort of women and
children in an effort to add in com
munity welfare, according to a sur- ,
vey of lt3 philanthropic work just !
completed.
The survey shows that 14 states j
maintain homos for girls. Some of]
these are schools while several are
voluntary rescue homes. There are
community buildings in a number of
states and about 50 Americanization
centers over the country, the best
known of itheSe 'being the one in
Bridgeport, Conn.
At San Diego, Cal., the W. C. T.
U. maintains a home center for sol
diers, sailors and marines. There
is a Francis E. Willard home for
glrl-s In Dos Angelos and at High
land Park, a home for women and ]
children Oakland. Cal., also has a |
bento for girls. Michigan with its i
two homes for girls is a close sec- |
ond to California, while Iowa, New
Mexico, Alabama, Indiana and Illinois
also lead In this typo of we! Cara
work.
Four states have old ladles’ homes
and seven states maintain summer
■ro.st cottages. Many otf the state
amt local union headquarters also
serve their communities as Ameri
canization, child welfare or social
centers.
“Some of 'this property has been
’eft to the \V. C. T. U. through lega
cies, but the larger part has been
acquired by purchase made possible
through gifts," said Miss Anna A.
Cordon, world and national presi
dent of the organization.
"It has boon our object to use our
runds tin establishing permanent use
ful memorials for daily helpfulness to
our neighbors -that wo might carry
out the wish expressed in the words
of our great leader, Frances K. Wil
lard, when she said, 'It is not enough
that women .should be the home mak
ers, but they must make the world
itself a larger home.’ "
LACK OF COAL
KILLING NIGHT ;
LIFE, BERLIN
BERiUIN, April 12.—Night life in
Berlin was dealt a hard blow through
the recent 'police regulation prohibit-'
ing public dancing, and requiring all
cafes to close at 11 p. m.
Many of tho dance halls still keep1
open, and have tried to provide sub
stitutes for cabaret performances, but
the would-ibe merry-makers sit list
lessly about and seem to show no in
terest except when 'the orchestras
strike up dance music, then they wig
gle their shoulders, yawn and move
sadly Into the (Tlmly lighted streets'
at 11 o'clock.
Until the Ruhr occupation and the
threatened shortago of fuel, cafes
were permitted to remain open until |
1 o'clock. That made it possible for
theater crowds to visit the dance i
halls and cafes after the theater per-:
formances. But now this Is impos-j
Bible, as most of the theaters bogin
their prograrp at 7:30 or 8
Waiters' organizations are endea
voring to have the theaters open at
6:30, so that the crowds may visit!
the cafes after tho performance and
thus prevent thousands of waiters
and other cafe employees from los
ing their jobs.
A few night clubs, or night
“lokals,” have been organized in re
mote sections and are endeavoring to
provide night life 'in spite of police
regulations. Through waiters in reg
ular cafe3 they distribute cards giv
ing the address of guides who will
find all-night dancing places. These i
guides, in turn, convey parties to
places 'where other touts assume the I
leadership and conduct the-ir patrons |
to remote halts in the center of
blocks where liquor Is provided at
extortionate rates and the habitues
keep 'their eyes on back stairways
through which escape may be made
if a raid takes place.
But right club3 do not offer the
financial returns 1 they did a few
months ago. Tourists are scarce.
Foreigners who wero tn Germany for i
pleasure have nearly all gone since 1
the French went Into the Ruhr. Sub- j
way trains all stop before midnight '
and consequently Berlin is a dark,'
dead city after that hour.
RUSSIAN EXILES
ARE WORRIED BY
EXPORT OF GRAIN
BERLIN, April 12.—Three hundred
thousand Rifsstin exiles who have
fo-.'nd refuge In the German capital
wflll celebrate April 15 the sixth an
niversary of the abdication of the
late Emiperor Nicholas. Ma,.v i;f
them hastened the end of the Im
perial tcgime and rejoiced, for %
Ume, in the new freedom whx.i they
believ-il had come to Russia.
They Ieng today ito go back to 'heir
native ,and, and are hoping for some
Change at Moscow which will make
it passible for Russians of all pollti
c a! fa IU. s to return .in safety. Their
interest in Bolshevist activities Is
keen. Announcement of the exporta
tion of grain from both Odessa and
Petrograd by the Bolshevists has
caused grave apprehension. Most of
these refugees still have relatives
ind friends back in Russia, and they
'ear that all outside relict work will
jo hindered, lit not absolutely stopped,
Chen tt (becomes generally known
hat the Moscow government is ex
porting grain from a land where mil
lion's of persons are on file verge of
starvation and dependent upon im
ported foodstuffs.
The announcement of the Swedish
Red Cross that it cannot continue to
-hip grain to a country which Is ex
portllng foodstuffs is looked upon as
i forerunner of similar action on the.
tart of Other relief organizations. So
far the International Red Cross has
not discontinued its work In Russia.

Knapp works. During last year the
total export of tron ore from Sweden
amounted to 5,32n.OOO tons, which
It 8ibout one m-Wlon tons more than
