SEATTLEITES TO
GIVE BLOOD FOR
SEATTLE, June 18 (by Associated
Press).—A “blood list” is being com
piled here by Doctors O. C. Jones and
L. L. Bull of the city hospital, for the
purpose of providing an available sup
ply of healthy human blood for trans
fusion. The physicians propose to
keep up a list of one hundred citizens
of Seattle who will be prepared to
give away a pint or so of blood when
ever called upon to aid a sufferer.
Persons volunteering for a place on
the unique list will be subjected to a
test and their blood classified on an
A, B, C and D basis, according to cor
puscles, so that the patient may get
just the proper quality needed. No
remuneration is offered for the ser
vice, but recipients of blood will be
permitted to pay for it if they so de
sire.
JAZZ MUSIC MAKES
HIT WITH GREASERS
NOGALES, Ariz., June 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—American jazz music,
introduced in Nogales, Sonora, cafes
and cabarets, is slowly winning its
way into the hearts of night life
patrons among the residents of the
Mexican town.
“While the Mexican patrons of my
establishment at first preferred the
native orchestra music to which they
had been accustomed so long,” said
•one cafe proprietor, “many of them
are gradually adopting the American
syncopated variety, and I predict that
before many weeks jazz will be on an
even plane with their own airs. I
have noted a constant increase in
Mexican patronage since I installed
jazz music.”
A million associate members of
scouting is a guarantee of the fu
ture of American boyhood.

ETHELCLAYTONIN
“PETTIGREW’S GIRL”
He wras worth millions—she wras a
chorus girl. Tradition demanded that
she “grab” him quick, but she
smashed tradition. although she
thought the w'orld of him. Why did
she do it? No one objected to their
marriage. Then why? Ethel Clayton,
as the chorus girl, is excuse enough
to make any man, rich or poor, lose
his head in “Pettigrew’s Girl,” adapted
from a Saturday Evening Post story,
playing tonight at the Empress.
Completing the program is a two
reel Sennett comedy, “The Foolish
Age,” wherein our old friend Chester
Conklin, Louise Fazenda and Phyllis
Taver tell us the tragic love story of
a blacksmith.
Coming next week, Douglas Fair
banks in his first United Artists pro
duction, “His Majesty the American.”
This is eight reels of such fun as only
Fairbanks at his best can furnish. It’s

I NATURE STUDY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS |
Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman,
chairman of the conservation depart
ment of the General Federation of
Women’s clubs, is pushing nature
study in the public schools, with the
approval of Dr. Philander P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of edu
cation and the support of the 2,500,
000 federated club women of the coun
try. Her 1920 report, which deals
with conservation, natural resources,
Americanization, thrift, home and
school gardens, natural scenery and
nation:parks and other activities of
her department, sets forth that the
boys and girls of today particularly
need those studies that will develop
individuality, strength of character
and human sympathy. She says:
“Our boys and girls need a com
prehensive, practical course of nature
study—natural science—that is based
quite as much upon actual outdoor
nature as upon textbooks. The mar
veis oi air, water aim sun aiiu me me ni.-siury ui aimnais aim piams uie vcu
liable to them both as information and as incentive. Interest is the basis of
application. Nature study holds a child’s interest and utilizes, develops and
extends it. This study should have d< pendent continuity in the grades and
should rank with reading, writing and arithmetic in credits.
“With this beginning in natural science the future citizen is more likely to
give appreciative consideration to the conservation of the natural resources of
his country. Conservation means the best and fullest use without waste oc
abuse.”
