We are ,receiving requisitions from aoroad for surgical dressing and hospital supplies in large quan- tities. The American Red Cross headquarters in France has been ask- ed for an estimate covering their monthly requirements of these ar- ticles. Insorder to make allotments intelligently it is necessary for us to know at what rate chapters, in- cluding branches and auxiliaries, are producing their supplies. . The chapter here wishes to send in a report of the normal output for the month and also a report of how much we could do in case of an em- ergency. The only way they can obtain the number of articles made per month is for each circle and each individual worker to report to Mrs. F. S. Arnold, chairman of the work committee, what work they are do- ing each month and also how much they could and would do in case of an emergency. * ~Will you please report to Mrs. Ar- nold as soon as possible so that she “nay make the necessary. report to division headquarters? [ .zLet us all try and be more sys- tematic in.our Red Cross work. Plan a certain amount of work for each week and then do it, so that the work committee can depend on us. l THEATERS ‘ TONIGRT “THE SLACKER” Tonight at the Rex theater will be presented the first evening show- ing of ‘“The Slacker” and the film is certain to attract large crowds at all showings as this is fhe pic- ture that has been screened in the leading theaters of the large cities to hundreds of thousands. It is not a picture of war scenes but is one of the most intensely patriotic fllms ever dramatized. “The Slacker” tells the story of for two years and never proposed. With the break of the war he did so and she became his wife. She was intensely patriotic and did lier bit in every possible manner. She saw the boys leave for the camps and front and bade many of her friends gocd bye. But her husband still remained—he was a slacker and had married her to escape the draft. The truth was out and she set about to regenerate his ideas of patriotism. She succeeded and he answered the call. Is your neighbor a slacker? See this wonderful seven thousand feet of film, produced by the Metro cor- poration with beantiful Emily Stev- ens in the lead. This mighty drama of the hour will be shown at the Rex tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening. Special matinees for the children at 4:30 o’clock. ELKO TONIGHT Although typically a Douglas Fairbanks picture, “Down to Earth” at the Elko theater tonight, is dif- ferent from any of his previous Art- craft offerings. This is due to the fact that the photoplay does mnot feature the popular actor’s athletic thrillers but rather shows why he is capable of performing these hair- raising tricks. While “Wild and new Fairbanks picture gets most of its laughs from incidents concerning life as Douglas Fairbanks sees it, namely under the great blue sky, close to nature. . Tomorrow.
