Private- Mason Delivered Prin
cipal Address ; at the Central
t I Meeting - 3 f
DRIVE IS ON TOMORROW
Four mass meetings were held last
night-r-at the academy of Music. St,
Andrew's Presbyterian church. South
side Baptist church '''and i at the Win
ter "Park Presbyterian church as ed
ucational preliminaries to- the second
war fund drive of the Amefican ifced
Cross, to be officially launched, lo
cally, at a, dinner to leaders and work
ers, at the Y. Mv C. A. this evening,
and all were well attended. . Activ

ner part of. tne money necessary to
continue work of this nature.
The principal meeting of the even
ing was held at the academy, although
tne otners were not lacking in inter
est, and attendance '.was unusually
good. The: central or academy meet
ing was addressed by Private C.1 S.
Mason, late of the fifty-fourth Canadi
an infantry; severely wounded at the
battie- of Lens,-who spoke from first
hand information of the work this or
ganization is doing behind the far-
flung battle lines of Europe. H. E.
Stacy of Lumberton, a . prominent
lawyer; was the speaker at . St An
arew's ; Robert W. Davis spoke at
the Southside church and former So
licitor George I Peschau voiced a
ringing appeal in behalf of the Red
Cross at Winter Park. Practically all
of the , churches dispensed, with the
evening worship or rearranged their
hours in order to avoid conflict with
the mass meetings.
The principal address of the even
ing, however, was that of Private Ma
son. The Canadian -spoke from the
knowledge gained through personal
experience. He has been a patient in
Red Cross hospitals ' and., realizes
more fully than others the part-the
Red Cross is playing in the fight over
seas how utterly impossible it would
be to go on without the comfort and
aid given by the members of this or
ganization.
His final exhortation was for all to
go home and do their duty, and there
were few if any in the crowd who
will fail to heed his advice. The Ca
nadian - was . given an ovation when
he came on the stage, was heard with
very close attention and cheered lust
ily when he left off talking.
The central meeting was presided
over by Rev. Dr. William H. . Milton,
who briefly outlined the work, of the
organization and .who introduced the
several sneakers of the evening. A
touching appeal "was macfe by Mrs.
A, M. 'Waddell, Head of the National
Special Aid society.
Introduced as one who had 'always
hewed to the line regardless of where
chips fell, and as the most public-
spirited man in the city, J. A. Taylor
sppke briefly on how the money is to
be raised, urging that money contrib
uted to the Red Cross was a gift; that
it was not similar to the purchase of
liberty bonds or war savings stamps,
because 'that was an investment,
while this is a gift from which no
monetary returns are to be had. He
nred that the contributions be lib
eral, calling attention tOv the hard
ships that men are being called upon
to undergo.
The active campaign will be start
ed Tuesday morning and all are urged
to meet solicitors with a smile and
a willingles sto contribute, remem
berng what this money is to be used
for and to give as freely as is pos
siMe. Thft camDaizn workers and
leaders will meet at the Y. M. C. A
this evening, when dinner will be
served and the finishing touches given
the campaign plans.
"No man has a right to do as he
pleases unless he pleases to do right.
Thrift is oneof the cornerstones on
which manhood must be constructed
The big cake' rally to be' held at
Scott's Hill schoolhouse' tonight be
tween the negroes of Scott's Hill and
Wrightsville will probably mark the
last cake to be sold priorto the Red
cross contest to be held at the acad
emy of music Thursday night. Much
interest has .been aroused in the
Scott's Hill affair and a larsre number
of white people are expected to at
tend. Many autos have already beem
pledged to. Rural Chairman of War
Savingsr J. O. Brown for taking , the
people out.
Already mucV talk has been heard
about the Red Cross contest in the
academy. ; This is going to be quite
novelty lor the people of Wilmimt-
ton. The -country neele need no in
troduction to this form" of entertain
ment, for already more than $1,200
has been realized in the war savings
If ampaign rom the sale of eakes. Net
dull moment is expected and the
whole community is expected to re
spond to this splendid entertainment
in behalf of. the Red Cross.
In connection with the cake . sale
one of the most famous war pictures
ever presented in Wilmington is to be
shown. The title of the picture is
The Zeppelin's Last Raid." Both the
plot and the picture will furnish an
nspiration to "keep the home fires
burning." If there is any lack of pa
triotism' certainly it will be aroused
at this meeting.
Tickets are new on sale . for the
event. You pay'BO cents for a ticket
and when the same is presented at
the academy Thursday night attached
to a thrift card a 25-cent thrift stamp
will be pasted on. So that the net
entrance fee will be only 25 cents.
And the picture to be shown alone,
will be well worth more than double
that amount.
This affair is expected to give great
impetus to, the war savings campaign
and at the same time greatly aid the
work of the Red Cross.

Of all the medicines In the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most oftan
and depend upon it most . universally.
There must be a good and sufficient
reason -what Is it? '
If you will study the doctors' books
you wul find tnat tne meansu-auuiur
itiftB prescribe calbmel for almost ev-
rr disease. The reason is that calo-
rnri is the ereatest and only thorough
system-purifier, it manes me uver
mrHvm drives out the poisons from
the stomach, bowels and kidneys and'
ttirtiT nurifles the blood. Calome
nnts the entire system in the mos
favorable "cohdition for Nature to ex
ercise her recuperative power. Your
doctor will tell you that drugs merely
assist Nature. That is why ne pre-
scribes calomel so often. ;
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purifies
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style calo
mel as a liver-cleanser and system
purifier. ' One Calotab ati bedtime,
with a swallow of water that's all.
No nauseav nor the slightest unpleas
antness. Next ' morning you 'lawake

Praise From Allan Dale
Allah Dale, known as the most bril
liant and scintillating dramatic critic
in New York city, as every critic
knows, is no admirer of motion pic
tures. In fact, it is seldom that he
can be persuaded to attend one. "Wil
liam Fox's picture, beautiful, "A
Daughter of the Gods," at the Grand
today and tomorrow, however, won
both his attendance and his heart, and
this is what he said about it in Ains
lee's Magazine: ,
"All subtleties and Pucksnifisms on
the subject of poor old sex grow very
tiresome. Why not accept sex - for
just what it is and no more? Go and
see Annette Kellermann in 'A Daugh
ter of the Gods' and enjoy that. It is
a picture, and nobody has any weari
some morals to set forth. In that
picture you will see a very beautiful
woman, perfectly formed and femi
ninely admirable, and you are not
obliged to read any meaning to it.
There she is, plunging, swimming,
.surrounded Dy spiencn settings an
adorable nymph with no theories and
no scintilla of philosophy.
"The magnificent water scenes in
which Miss Kellermamn appears and
the enticing imagery with which they
are accesserled are the lnest achieve
ment that the films have made. It
seems too futile to apologize eternally
for the vagaries of our inner selves.
'A Daughter of tho Gods' is sex, with
no excuses. I do not hesitate to al
lude to this picture at the same time
I discuss such plays as 'The Harp of
Life' and 'The Master.' w
