Plans whereby wives of senators and
representatives may further the war
relief work of the American Red Cross
were discussed and undertaken at an
informal meeting held, by invitation,
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Miss Boardman, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the organization.
and attended by number of women
of the congressional circle. as we'll as
wives of cabinet officers.
Patterns. catalogues and Instructions
useful in the manufacture of made-up
dresses. nightdresses. pajamas, shawls.
mufiers and other garments suited
both for sick and wounded men and for
refugee women and children. were dis
tributed to those in attendance to for
ward to women's clubs and associations
in their homes throughout the country,
to serve as working basis for con-
trfbutions of clothing.
To Equip Club for Sewing.
Plans were laid to have the large as
sembly room in the new Congressional
Club equipped with sewing machines
and other facilities for the manufac-
ture of such garments in order that
club members may work in groups
This should prove especially useful. 1t
is announced. in view of the fact that
many congressional women are not
thus equipped in their temporary
homes in Washington. Plans for the
distribution of the self-denial mite
boxes" to be issued by the Red Cross
among the wives of congressman were
also discussed, and several of the wom-
en- promised to form themselves into
a unit" to work with the other local
groups composed OF all nationalittes
and denominations whose headquarters
are In ST. Johns parish hall
The Kendall Baptist Church, through
j. E McCracken. its treasurer, to-
day forwarded through The Star q
check for Sc, to be applied for any
purpose the Red Cross may decide best,
and it is hereby acknowledged.

Pajamas for Street Wear.

From the New York Tribune.
The men Of Alton, Ill. or some OF
them. should deserve the patriotic
gratitude of their fellow-countrymen
Heartened. it may be, by the formation
of the anti-collar league in Paris, they
have shown their true western dis
inclination to be outdone by introducing
pajamas for street wear. In the light
of this interesting innovation, how
shrinkingly timid appears the French
rebellion against the collar!
Both. of course. are protests against
the fashions in summer wear set us
by England. the land of fogs and chills.
Why, indeed. should the male in
habitants of the Mississippi valley SIM
mer all day long in garments fit only
for subarctic wear? And, now that
summer has finally reached the Atlantic
coast as well. why should We? 1t must
be what Brander Matthews calls our
colonial spirit" which up to this point
has kept us in thrall to the hot, close
fitting wooden suit.

Don't Make Excuses

To yourself. That's what you
do when you say IT don't care
whether / sell it or not"
If you have something to sell
that you have no use for that
something is costing you
money every day you keep 1T.
Make money by selling it. A
Star classified advertisement
will do the trick. The cost is
small.

Light Humor.
From Tit-Bits.


In the latter half of the eighteenth
century one of the members of a little
scientific society In Liverpool laid Gu
rious wager. He bet brother scientist
that he would read newspaper by the
light OF a farthing dip at a distance of
thirty feet. The b. s., finding the feat
difficult at even a sixth of the distance,
cheerfully accepted the wager.
The layer merely coated the inside of
shallow wooden box with sloping
pieces of looking glass, so as to form a
concave lens, placed behind his farth-
ing dip. and readily deciphered the small
print at the stipulated distance.
The experiment was witnessed by
Liverpool dockmaster. He was a think
ing man, and saw great possibilities in
this learned Jest He straightway
adapted the principle to lighthouse re-
quirements, and forthwith the modern
reflex light, with its miles of reflected
range and untold life-saving powers,
sprang into being.

Hart made immortal as the place

The TampicO Incident

The Mexican situation has way of becoming acute from time to time. It is apparently acute now, but it does not mean that the United States will have to land marines at Tampico in order to back up the demand which Rear Admiral Mayo has made on Huerta's commander to salute the American flag
 Huerta's verbal apology for the ar rest of United States sailors at Tam pico last Thursday was not satisfac- tory, and Admiral Mayo demanded as more formal amend that the fed eral commander salute the stars and stripes. It may be assumed that Huerta will comply.
 Almost the entire Atlantic fleet has been ordered to Tampico, where a naval demonstration at this time will have good effect. President Wilson's nonintervention attitude toward Mex ico has been approved by the Amerl- can people in general. His "watchful waiting" policy may have been criti- cized by certain interests; but if the rebellion wears itself out without this country becoming involved in war, the administration stand will be more than justified. President Wilson, while exercising large degree of patience, will see to it that the dignity of this government does not suffer. Of that the world may rest assured. The concentration of the Atlantic fleet in Tampico bay is, under the circumstances, wise precaution. War vessels may be needed, but in all probability our flag will be duly sa- luted before the fleet arrives; and then the incident will be closed and forgot.

New Orleans, Protest

While in New Orleans a few days ago found the people of that city very sore because they did not get one of the fed eral reserve banks" said Henry T. Raines of Chicago. Tt seems they had fully ex- pected that the federal reserve bank or ganization committee would establish a bank there They naturally did not like the idea of being placed in a district of which Atlanta, a much smaller city, is the federal reserve bank center.
 If they have to be a branch bank city they would prefer to play subordinate to great financial center like St. Louis. If they cannot succeed in securing fed eral reserve bank the business men of New Orleans will insist on the federal re- serve board changing the district so as to throw them in the St, Louis region
 While business in the Crescent City has not been as fourshing of late as in former years, it will improve steadily as soon as the Panama canal is opened. New Orleans is too great a city to have any serious baclxset."
