{--.zS-----1jM Mabel Boardman said
today, the workers
of the District of Columbia branch of the
Red Cross are kept busy these November
days"
AS a result of the delay in getting
sufficient supply of the red stickers, Miss
Boar dman said the stamps Will not be on
general sale in Washington until the day
after Thanksgiving. Notwithstanding the
delay, Mrs. W. j. Boardman has al
ready sold more than 10000 Of the holly
berry stamps.
1t was explained that the lack of stamps
at this time Is due to the tedious process
Of perforating. This has to be done sheet
by sheet, and each sheet has to pass twice
through the machine. In the meantime
the corps of young lady volunteers are
preparing for the campaign, and 1t was
said today that the first place the stamps
will be put on sale VIII De at the CITY
post office and Woodward & I-othrop's.
The mail is bringing many orders 10
Miss Boardman and there will be busy
times supplying the demand when the
local supply of stamps is received.
Wants 100000, and Then More.
One order reads: Can we have imme-
diately 10000 more stamps. and still more
IL we want them?" Another please send
us 100000 more stamps. People are clam
oring fof them"
Inquiry at the post Office and express
companies indicates that already many Of
the red and white stickers are making
their appearance on envelopes, post cards
and packages.
The Merry Christmas stamps form a
most worthy and practical charitable fea-
ture of the great work the Red Cross Is
accomplishing" correspondent says. 1T
is to be hoped when the gladstone Christ
mas holidays have passed it will be found
that a vast sum mas been raised for work
among the victims Of that greatest or
scourges to humanity-the white plague
through the sales of the little stickers."
Word comes from Philadelphia that
Representative Daniel F. Lafean of York,
Pa. has ordered 100000 Of the stamps.
and says he will treble this number II
possible 1t is the expectation of the
local workers that when the representa-
tives in Congress and senators begin to
arrive here in advance OF the session OF
Congress, there will be great sales OF the
Merry Christmas stamps among them.

Appears for Whole People.

In conclusion the Attorney General
calls attention to the fact that ne ;;p-
pears merely as the representative of the
whole people. and he says that his
only purpose is to suggest to the court
that the case Is of such a nature that
in the interest OF the entire countr- it
should be reviewed and authoritatt=aly
determined by the highest courL OF the
nation.
1t is understood that the petition will
be formally presented to the court when
it reconvenes next Monday. but 1t prob
ably will not be acted upon fer some time
thereafter. If the petition is granted the
entire case will be reviewed by the SUI
preme Court. If it is denied the de-
cision Of the court of appeals will stand,
and 1t will be necessary for the govern
ment to find some other means of pre-
senting its controversy with the Standard
Oil Company to the court.
