nesday evening. Impressive and stirring in itself the pageant wa3 enacted with an amazing amout of histrionic j ability that held spellbound the scores j

that thronged the gallery. The youtn ful actors in their sympathetic, sin

cere and unaffected portrayals from j time to time drew smiles and tears from their audience. j Opening in a hospital the first scene shows a restless cripple child, played by Krank Chambers, with his nurse, Reba Thomas. The nurse to soothe him tells him the Sandman gives wonderful dream pictures of the boys and girls in many parts of the world. As the boy falls asleep the Sandman, Robert Shelley, comes in and from his brown bag of dreams takes one by one the pictures out, each showing some service of the Junior Red Cross, each dream being given by children from different schools. In the first scene children from Whitewater gather in the room before the sleeping boy and make scrap books. As they leave a pageant of knights of the Modern Health Crusade passes by, each armed with tooth brushes and other germ fighting weapons. Garfield children plajed this scene. Contribute to Relief Contributions for the Near East And China were given by a group of Vaile school children, who were followed by Warner children who wrote letters to the children of Switzerland.

SHIPSKIND IS AWARDED

CONTRACT FOR SEWER ON RANDOLPH STREET John F. Hipskind was awarded the contract for constructing the Randolph street sewer at the board of works meeting Thursday morning. Mr. Hinskind's bid was $18,665.10. The

estimated cost of the improvement, ac-! cording to plans drawn up by the city engineer, was $20,700. That the estimated cost of the improvement was very near the actual construction cost is indicated by the fact that two contractors, one from Columbus, O., and one from Kokomo, left without submitting bids. Six bids were submitted, and three of these were above and three below the estimated cost. Besides the winning bid others submitted were: Forest E. Slick, $1S, 610.10; L. P. Beard Construction com

pany, $19,818.75; John F. Hipskind, (three bids on various types of construction): concrete pipe. $20,337.50; segmental block, circular type, $20, 948.25, and segmental block, egg shaped, $21,413. Guarantees Contract Although the bid of Mr. Slick was

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 Advices from Riga that Soviet Russia has protested the discussion of the Chinese eastern railway by the Washington conference has served to draw the attention of conference circles to the rather ccocmplicated nature of this subject which occupies a place on the American egenda.

' What the public school children can , do for the Junior Red Cross, Miss Payne said is not its great object in

the schools. The fact that nearly 1,000 Christmas packages have been packed and sent to children across the waters; that in one week 17,622 Christmas seals had been sold; that scrap books were made for children and disabled soldiers; that Christmas carols arc sung by the children "these achievements I do not consider much in themselves. It is what it has ione for the Richmond children to perform these duties and services that counts and which is the motive for carrying on the Junior Red Cross ork in our schools.

RUSS GOVERNMENT'S FIRST BIG PAYMENT TO POLAND IS MADE

(Ry Associated Press) WARSAW, Dec. 15. Gold and jewels estimated to be worth 50 billion Polish marks, the Russian soviet government's first payment to Poland under the treaty of peace signed at Riga on March 18, last, have arrived here. Diamonds, rubies and other precious

stones and gold bars, filling 100 cases in all were brought here on a special

train under military escort. The bullion, weighing 1,280 pounds gives Poland its first substantial gold reserve. Experts compute that this, together with proceeds from the tax of from eight to 15 percent on all property, a bill for which has just passed the second reading in the Diet, will nearly cover all of Poland's internal debts. The tax is expected to yield 80 billion marks. It is estimated by financiers that about 200,000,000,000 marks (paper) are now in circulation in the country.

Mr. Garton has a baritone voice of power and richness that is full of warmth and feeling. Rounds of applause greeted his rendition of "Pale Moon, an Indiana Love Song," by Logan.

Even More pleasing were his numbers, "My Lovely Celia" and "The Crystal Gazer." To an encore he responded with "Lindy." Miss Grace Nicholson, who is a pianist of exceptional ability and perfect technique, gave a brilliant rendition of her three numbers. Her most outstanding number was "Danse Negre," by Cyril Scott, with which she finished. Miss Lois Craig in her rendition of "From an Indian Lodge," MacDowell, and "Country Dance." MacFayden, exhibited fine technique in her exe cution of the humbers.
