The statement is, in paf t, as follows : The'-war -council of the American filed Cross is now. prepared to make a complete accounting to the American ipeople of money contributed and ex pended, as well as the work done by jibe American Red Cross during the Jperiod in which the war council was jin control of its affairs. The war council was appointed May 19, 1919, 4and went out of existence February tS, 1919. "It was the practice of the war jcouncil to give complete publicity to pts policies and finances, but it is only jnow that a picture of the war period a whole can be presented. It ia e feeling of the war council that a port in this summarized form should ihe made directly to the public which provided the money and gave the ef fort which made the American Red 4Cross a success. "A statement of the American Red iCross effort and finances since the fwar council relinquished its . control fwlll be made to the public through the executive committee, and it is im portant, therefore, that the fact thai this report covers the period only until. March 1, should be carefully noted." '.Following are certain round figures covering American Red Cross partici pation iu the war, as revealed by the war council's report : Some Outstanding Figures.

Loop was discouraged over the show situation in Hendersonville and had about decided to abandon it, making "his future in the show busi ness for this city contingent on the returns of "Bringing Up Father." The attendance was good and the show highly appreciated, so he booked what is recommended as another good show, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," which appears at the Opera House next Saturday night. Prices and oth er information will be found in an ad vertisement elsewhere in The News while the following is from a news paper clipping: A fresh, flippant, farcial frolic, is the way the program describes "Par lor, Bedroom and Bath," which open ed a three day engagement at the Ly ceum theather last evening. The show which is given with the same cast that made such a successful run in New York, is certainly all of that, to gether with the fact that itis one of the best bits of entertainment that has been seen in Paterson theaters in a long time. A real comedy, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" is replete with highly amusing situations end witty lines, which coupled with the exceedingly clever work of capable performers, had the audience fairly rocking in their seats with laughter throughout the action of the piece. It is a com edy that one can well worth take the time to see, for they will be assured of an entertainment without regrets. over his inability to stave off business failure, caused Brown illness and sub sequent death. Now Mrs. Brown is moving out of . the little home, because she is unable to keep up the, payments. And she will be obliged to find em ployment in order to take care of her self and the two children.

" r : The plot of the story deals with the events surrounding the life of a little Long Island "set," the central figures of which are Mr. and Mrs. Reggy Ir ving., ; i.'Mrs. Irving is one of these modem women who is just delighted over the fact that her. husband is possessed of 1 a, terrible wicked "past.":., She f feels quite sure that every woman he meets is just crazy over him, and is so pleas ed over it that hubby, with the as sistance of his intended brother-in-law, tries to make the deception as realistic as possible. He makes his "past" and his "pres ent" as interesting as possible for his wife by mysterious trips and letters, all of them written by himself, and he finds himself in such circumstances that he nearly gives up the ship. ...... ... He succeeds only too well when he takes his friend's . wife to the Seaside Hotel, with his private parlor, bed room and bath. Exciting scenes, wild love-making and threatened murders all add to make the last two acts about the most . amusing incidents witnessed by local theatergoers. If "Parlor, Bedroom and. Bath" gets what it deserves, there will not be a vacant seat in the Van Houten street theater while it remains here. - See the beaHtifHl line of Daven ports at Hendersonville Furniture Company. 10-23.i!te.
