Mrs. Wood a Helper.

Several of the woman workers who
have been putting in eight and ten
hours daily in sorting and going over
the huge piles Of gifts are well known
in Washington. Mrs. Wood, wife of
Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood, is one Of the
most interested workers, and. as BELTS
the wife of the commanding officer OF
the Department OF the East is taking
a leading part in it. Mrs. Dorey, whose
husband is Capt. Dorey. Gen. Woods
aid, is another of the hard workers.
Another Is Mrs. Normoyle. wife of MAJ.
j. E. Normoyle, and still another is Mrs.
Saltzman, wife of Mai. Saltzman, both
well remembered by notwithstanding.
OF course. these women are not do
ing any Of the hard work Of actual
packing. That is in the hands Of en-
listed men of the army. and jaekies
from the big warships. But the women
are doing their share, nevertheless.
They are sorting the miscellaneous
tumble OF clothing, toys and the like.
and putting them into piles ready for
the packers. Garments for children are
sorted into heaps by themselves;
women's garments go into other heaps
toys are placed by themselves, and
when they are ready the packers,
wearing overalls over their khaki uni
forms, stow the stun into the heavy

FUND PASSES $4,000 MARK.
Contributions for Christmas Ship
Continue to Reach The Star.

Money contributions through The
Star for the Christmas ship reached a
total of s4,017.s3 at noon today. The
fund has been closed. as more than
enough money and toys and clothing
have been received to freight the big
naval collier, the Jason, but last-hour
contributions are still coming in. What
cannot be spent in time to get the
goods on board the Christmas ship will
be turned over to the Red Cross fund
fer the relief of war sufferers.
/ A large crate of underclothing for the
children in. the war fields had missed
the carloads Of supplies out, of Wash
ington for. the Christmas ship. The
Adams Express Company was appealed
to last evening to make special eff
fort to get the big box through to the
wharf in Brooklyn where the Christ
mas ship Is being laden.

the goods through IN time. but did not
make any charge, contributing its
service to the cause.

pie Of pairs Of baby's socks. or little
knitted sacQue, or, maybe, only couple
Of handkerchiefs. Nearly always there
is a ncte-sometimes written in
childish scrawl on a scrap of paper. or
maybe penned on the back Of wom-
ans calling card. Every message,
however, carries some words of cheer
and hopefuiness and sympathy to the
unknown recipient across the Atlantic.
One Of the little parcels contained two
or three new toys. together with what
used to be little mechanical horse.
The horses coat was much the worse

package was q note, scrawled in pencil:

old. to a poor little Belgian boy who

Baby clothes that have lain yellow
Ing for years in lavender and tissue
paper wrappings have been brought
out and sent to warm the limbs of
orphaned babies in the war zones.
These are the gifts that bring tears
to the eyes Of the army Of women who
are doing the asserting.
One Of these workers yesterday after
noon unwrapped little square parcel
that came from small town in Ohio.
board box, tied with bit OF ribbon,
and within the box was a tissue-Wrap-.
ped package containing two little f1an-
mel shirts, several pairs of stockings OF
a size to match the skirts, couple OF
flannel petticosts and two long white
slips. a note pinned to the garments
read:
For a Belgian baby that needs them
in memory of the baby that will not
need them any more"
She was pretty busy. the woman who
opened that package. but she had time
to stop and cry just little bit. And
others Of the woman workers to whom
she showed the garments and the little
note cried, too, and wiped their eyes
and didn't care who saw them.
Sometimes the human interest takes
an amusing turn. as when a couple Of
the tackies pried the top off small
started on a wild chase after a me-
chanical rat that had been placed,
wound UP and ready to go, with the
other toys in the box. They thought at
desired about the Bush terminal. When
they discovered 1t was just a make be-
lieve one the sailors skylarked with it
for half an hour. Sailors ashore like to
have little fun, same as anybody else.

uedTly o,VVV COnS oI COAL Was tdhen
out OF the bunkers of the Jason to
make room for more cargo. The ship
was supposed. to carry coal for war
ships stationed in European waters.
When she sails Thursday evening. how
ever, she will carry just about 1000
tons. enough to take her to Liverpool
and no more. And even with this ad-
ditional space in the great holds of
the Christmas ship there is some doubt
as to her ability to provide room for
the huge sacks and mountains of boxes
containing gifts for the war orphans,
TT surely does look to me as if
another ship will have to be provided
for some Of the things?" said Maj.
Lawton yesterday afternoon. 1.-The

DANIELS GIVES REASON

Secretary Daniels has informed the
District Commissioners that he re-
grets he cannot meet the wishes Of the
people of the District for the perma
nent retention in the waters of the Ma
tional Capital of the old frigate Con-
stellation, now at the Washington navy
yard, as it has been decided to return
the old ship to her regular station at
Newport, r. I. The Secretary and Rear
Admiral Blue of the navy visited the

today that it had not yet been decided
how much longer the vessel shall re-
main here.
Secretary's Letter.
In his letter to the District Commits
sioners, Secretary Daniels said, in part:
This is a matter that the depart
ment has given serious consideration.
and 1t would be pleased to crafty the
wishes of the citizens of the District
and of the honorable board Of Commits
sioners. but the ship hlls an urgent
need at the Newport, r. L. training
station, where some 75o or 800 newly
enlisted young seaman apprentices are
constantly under training, Her loca-
ton there not only affords this con-
stant stream of young men flowing into
the naval service an object lesson of
the navy's early and best traditions,
but she Is utilized for a number Of
purposes connected with their train
ing. She affords quarters for the
young officers on duty at the training
station, and for some of the warrant
officers and petty officers there, and
thereby causes a considerable saving
to the government in money expendi-
lures To maintain her at the Wash
ington navy yard, desirable aa 1t would
be for many reasons, would be at some
expense to the government. whereas
at Newport she is not only needed, but
affords the government very con-
siderable saving.
Il regret that I cannot find it adj
visable to meet the wishes of the
citizens and the Commissioners In this
respect. for personally would be very
glad to do so.'

Florida, at least that many employees
Of the Bush terminal, and wives and
daughters of the officers stationed at

all to be accomplished In the limited
time that remains.
President Irving T. Bush was at
building No. 10 this morning almost as
early as any one else. He has been
there every day for a week or more,
just as interested in the work that is
going on as any of the big corps Of
scrters and packers.
Yesterday afternoon he remarked:
"All this makes me feel like q kid

4 VITAL SPOT STRCCk.

Congress struck a vital spot when
ii passed the bill empowering the In
terstate Commerce Commission to in
spect interstate railway passenger
ears and enforce their cleanliness.
Of all public places the railway
coach, by its very nature, invites un-
sanitary conditions. More people are
crowded into a comparatively smaller
air space than in any other public
meeting place. The class of people is
more varied, too. than is apt to be
the case in other places. Sick persons
often travel on the railroads. Natu-
rally, then, the sanitation of the cars
is quite a problem, and is often neg
lected or improperly done. Many cases
of disease have been directly traceable
to such conditions.
This new power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is good ad-
dition to the general supervision of
public health.
