"The association maintains workrooms in Far Is (or destitute French and Bel gian women, paying them 1 franc a day for making underwear, shirts, warm gar gents and sewing on mattress material. We try to furnish at least one mattress for each needy family, for beds are out of the question. "Sine August 1, 1914, when the asso ciation took up the relief work, it has established a free, flrst-ald home nursing and medical massage department through which 4C0 women have been fitted for service as volunteer nurses. A bandage department, from which 50.000 surgical dressings have been sent to the front, the furnishing of wards in the Amer ican ambulance. Is also work of the asso ciation.

Player Beginning with Sunday night,' August 29, performance at the Boyd "How"Wlld Animals Live," a collection of marvelous motion pictures of animals from Jungles, forest and field, taken In all part of the world, will be on view. The wonderful possibilities of the mo tion picture camera for the purpose of natural history study are revealed In these pictures. John W. Ruskin, a member of the various expeditions sent Into nil parts of the earth to secure these wild ani mal views, tells of the many Interesting and unique methods resorted to secure these remarkable pictures. In the far north you wilt sea polar bears swimming In the Arctic waters, while' on the lee flda ei disport them selves, not In the way they do in aquar turn tanks, but as Uity tio in the open. One of the most Interesting and thrill ing pictures is that of a leopard maklnv a flying leap upon a Jungle fowl, which Is sitting on Its nest The habits of this treacherous animal are very clearly shown as he tortures the Jungle fowl. After racing and rushing up and down the hill with It the leopard finally rolls over exhausted and drops the fowl. Sud denly tha leopard springs to his feet, ap proaches the top of the hill, arching his back and tail and is ready to make a spring. The clinking of the camera has attracted his attention, and wore It not for the fact the operators had killed tha smell of their bodies they would have never returned to civilisation. There are hundreds of different sub verts shown In the two hour that It takes to run off tha five reels and every one of them Is Interesting, novel and adit cational. You will learn mora about ani mal life in their native baunts In the two hours than you could learn by read ing books of natural history for a solid month. In the words of tha reviewer of the Boston Transcript who wrote: "I oama to the theater expecting to be bored and to remain he If an hour, but X stayed through the whole performance and wm very sorrj when tt ended."
