S. A. C. TAKES ON NEW
LEASE LIFE; SPECIAL
MEETING LAST NIGHT
JOHN PAULSTEI NE?R APPOINTED
MEMBER HOUSE COMMITTEE;
SUMMER SCHEDULE ON
A special meeting of the executive
committee of the Seward Athletic
Club was called to order by Presi
dent Hamid Painter last night and
in prompt order. (Several important
matters were given ample discussion
and disposed of appropriately.
A resolution whereby the Women’s
Athletic Club of Seward may have
access to the gymnasium and at the
same time contribute to the financial
upkeep of the organization was work
ed out and will -be presented to the
fair sex immediately.
Almost unanimously, the desire was j
i
expressed that the hall be retained
over the summer season, chiefly to
accommodate the Boy Scouts, the
-women’s baseball teams and what-f
ever athletic activities the members
of the organization wish to partici- j
pate in.
The club treasury was somewhat
bolstered up by a ten dollar donation
by Dr. Tyler and the advance pay
ment of five months dues by E. L.
Swetmann.
After appointing John Paulsteiner
to the House Committee, W. R.
Shellhorn, chairman of that body
made a request for several improve
ments in the hall and announced a
very conceivable plan for taking care
of the premises during the next
three months.
On motion the session was ad-,
journed at 10:00 p. m.
AN ACTOR.GROCER
GEORGE K. ARTHUR, who plays j
one of the principal roles in Mona
Bell’s “Lady of the Night,” the Metro- j
Goldwyn-Maver production at the
j
Liberty Theater Sunday, is a shrewd
(business man, in addition to being
an actor.
Arthur with Alf. Reeves, business j
manager for Chadlie Chaplin, is own- |
er of a Hollywood grocery store.
They cater to the film folk and in
sure collection of the bills by pre- 1
senting them as the occasion de- I
mands.
If the debtor gets hard-boiled and |
shows a disposition not to pay, he i
or she, gets a bill at some embarras-!
I
sing moment during a social fun- <'
ction or private party.
For instance, if some srweet young I
thing, who plays the role of an hon- j
est worknig girl, refuses to pay for i
the caviar, truffles, tripe or‘spaghetti |
she is very liable to be handed a 1
bill as she sweeps majestically on the 1
ball room floor.
And if some great screen lover
doesn’t fork over the dough for tid
bits, like ham and cabbage, or pig
knuckles and sauerkraut ordered
from the above-mentioned grocery,
George or Alf. know exactly the psy
chological moment to dun him for
last month’s account.
“Motion picture people, however,”
says Arthur, “are usually very
prompt in paying their bills.”

cific Steamship Company, is due to

LITTLE HELEN MATTSCHEI
IS SEVERELY BITTEN BY
POLICE DOG, TIED IN SHED
Three yQa'i} old Helen Mattschel,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Matt
schei, was severely bitten just be
fore noon today by the German po
lice dog of Mr. Boehime, manager
of the Liberty theater. A piece of
the little girl’s upper lip was torn
out, one of her teeth knocked out
and from all indications, she was
also bitten on her right arm. She
was rushed to Dr. Baughman’s of
fice the doctor sewing the wound
up. It is Mr. Mattschei’s intention
to take his daughter over to the An
chorage hospital for additional

It appears that Helen was play
ing with one of the Boehme chil
dren and romping aibout the Boehme
home, when one of the little tots
chased the other thru the woodshed
where the dog has been tied up
constantly. It is believed the dog
was startled 'by the sudden appear

lunge for them, Helen being fore
most, received the animal’s on
slaught.
