oe WEDNESDAY, DEC. 19, 1917 BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE CHRISTMAS TO BE FIT IN CITY HOSPITAL; Christmas will be fittingly observed at the Bismarck and St. Alexius hos- pitals. Although the usual custom of exchanging gifts among the nurses will be eliminated as a conservative war measure and the money used to purchase these gifts donated to the Red Cross, the other festivities will go on as in former years. At the Bismarck hospital the festiv- ities for the patients will be held Christmas eve. Christmas trees will be placed on the various flooors and the hospital chorus will sing carols. Christmas for the nurses and hospital staff will be observed Christmas day and evening. The festivities will be held, ig~the large dining room. The usual gifts to the nurses from the hos- pital management will be given but to emist in the war conservation cam- paign, the nurses will forego the ex- changing of gifts and the money thus saved will be donated to the Red Cross. The hospital staff and nurses are well represented in government service. Major E. P. Quain, Dr. Ju- lius Arnson, Dr. John A. Halgren, Dr. Holmes, Dr. Clark, Lieut. Martel and several of the nurses have gone to the various cantonments.

FAIRBANKS FINDS LIFE 100 PER CENT EXHILARATING ON FIRST TRIP TO DESERT. ‘Douglas 'Fairbanks thought that the title'of his Triangle play, “The Lamb” might fairly be “The Time of’ His Life." "Not that the title ‘would espe- cially ‘fit the story, but betause it would fit his experience. A fortnight pefore the picture was completed, the young star, with his director, and a company that included 15% mounted cowpunchers—the real thing, mind yoou—went out to the Mo- jave desert and put up at a little west- ern cow town. Here Fairbanks western part, rode a western cayuse, shot, jumped cliffs and lived at a speed that made all previous Fair- banks picture records resemble the largo of a funeral magh—whatever that may be. Fairbanks is a crack polo player, be- sides being a boxer and every other sort of athlete and entertainer there is, but the cowboys didn’t know that. They took him for a tenderfoot. And when he rode and shot with the best of them, nothing was too good—or too exciting-——for him in that isolated cow town. We are not going to tell you any more because this would spoil the fun for you., ‘The Lamb” will be shown tomorrow at the Orpheum matinee and aight. PHONOGRAPH FOR THE GUARD HOUSE St. Paul, Dec. 19.—Members of the fourth district woman's club have voted to’ include among Christmas presents for soldiers at Ft. Snelling, a phonograph to be placed. in the guard house. Mrs, Quinlan, chair- man. of the Christmas committee, read a letter from a soldier serving a term, in which he said he hoped the 80 in- mates of the guard house would not be overlouked in the distribution. NEW WASHBURN FILM ROMANCE OF A VAGABOND AND RICH GIRL. Take an eccentric milionaire’s will, a happy-go-lucky, ne’er do well nephew and a pretty girl with a touch of ro- mance in her veias; add a three-leg- ged dog for good luck, sprinkle the whole generously with tlrills and film well—there you have “The Golden Idiot,” Bryant Washburn’s latest Ess- anay feature. The picture is an adaptation from the story of the same iitle by Robert Rudd Whiting which created nation- wide comment when published in one of the popular magazines. It affords Mr. Washburn a nunlimited field for that type of quaint humor which made his “Skinner’s Dress Suit” so justly fa- mous. “The Golden Idiot” will be shown at the Bismarck Theatre tonight only.

It is estimat that from 8,000 to 16,000 visitors will be entertained in {Des Moines and at the camp at Christ- mas time, and plans are under way to jtake care of these additional vis ors. It is said that hotels avd rooming ; houses in Des Moines would have con- \sideraale difficulty in handling even a number considerably smaller, and it is li private homes will be called upon to furnish many rooms lfor the visitors. A large proportion of the soldiers from North Dakota, Hlinois and Min- nesota had applied for furloughs and it is from these states that the vis- itors are looked Tor. Iowa men are within “trolley dis- tance” of their homes or have access to autoomobiles that make the trip.

His is the first. conviction in the local federal court under the law passed by congress last | May making it a misdemeanor for any one to sell liquor to soldiers in uni form. While there has been no official an- nouncement in the matter, it is re- ported at Camp Dodge that there are to be no more extensive transfers of the national army men from here to other cantonments and that the new can be used to vision, togetuer with those of the ent to he ordered here ill be trained at Camp Dodge are ready for foreign ser- vice. The 88th division lost a large num Camp Rowie. but the process of fill- ing up the southern camp is under- stood to he at an end so far as Camp Dodge is concerned. This means. that in all probability most of the men received in the final increment of the first draft will re-| main at Camp Dodge for some little time, and that the regiments which will be filled up from the newcom- ers will be fully revresentatives from} the states from which they are re-| cruited. Officers and men alike at Camp Dedge are anxious for the arrival of the new increment. Tue camp ma- chinery is in splendid condition to manufacture good soldiers of ;the 24,- 090 men to come here, with every reg- iment completely organized and of- ficered. Eighty diferent colleges an versities are represented at Dodge. There are six ‘ight n: and local college fraternities accord- ing to the canvass made by the Des Moines war recreation board. With the 6,000 books now in use a! the camp there will be enough reading to keep all. the idle moments of the national army occupied it is believed. —— | United States’ Wealth.
