1000 Christmas remembranceS, the
number including a great many attrac-
| lively dressed dolls. At a recent meet
| ing of the club it was decided to devote
a large part of the organizations work
this year to preparing gifts to be sent
| on The Stars Christmas ship, although
| the orphans and other destitute chill
dren of the Districts Institutions are
not to be wholly overlooked.
| 1t was also decided that the club
members shall make garments for
girls, such as flannel petticoats and the
like. to be sent as part OF the clubs

for the collection of contributions for
| the Christmas ship, and to receive all
such contributions from residents of

RAPS SPECIAL INTERESTS.

War emergency measures were de-
nounced in bitter terms in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Jones of WASH
iington, who declared that special in
terests were insidiously using the war
situation to secure legislation for their
own benefit.
Referring particularly to the new
ship registry law the senator said:
Nothing but trouble and embarrass-
ment can come to us from it. 1t is
coming. Who owns the Metapan. the
John Rockefeller and the other vessels
that have been seized? The Standard
Oil, the United Fruit Company and the
Steel Company. Because it was cheap

Girls Club to Supply Toys.

The Girls Club of Takoma Park has
decided to make a quantity of toys and
playthings to be sent on the Christmas
ship to the war orphans. The club,
which has a membership of about thirty
girls ranging in age from fourteen to
eighteen years, each year makes
large number of toys and dresses many
dolls which heretofore have been dis
tributed among the children in the va
rious charitable Institutions of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Last year the men,

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
SHOWN IN COMPARISON
Figures for Tuesday Closely APP
proach the Daily Averages Of
Last October.

American imports and exports Tues
day closely approached the daily aver
age of October of last year. The value
of imports Tuesday surpassed the
average value of daily October i'm
ports of last year. Exports were
slightly below last Octotber's average.
Imports valued at s4,s9s,646 were re-
ceived Tuesday. The October daily av-
erage of last year was valued at
s4,2S1,700.
Exports for Tuesday aggregated ST.
O54,743 in value. The October average
of last year was S7,249,500. Together.
exports and imports of Tuesday exceed
the daily october average of last year
by $422,1S9.
No Comparison of Customs Revenue.
Owing to the delay of the Office of the
United States Treasurer in providing
figures of custom receipts under the
tariff law, it is not now possible to
make comparison of the customs reye-
nues. But as the present law went
into effect October last year, it is to
be expected that customs revenues
Tuesday surpassed the average daily
October revenues of last year.
Imports Wednesday were valued at
S3,2S6,736, and exports $7.195,352
These are both below the daily Octo-
Der average of 1913. exports only
