"WorkmgWOnlen are the most unSelfSh and the most
milling to sacrifice themselves for principle"

And It is this quality that makes
unionsm the power it is"
Mrs. Robins energetically put 70
rout the charge sometimes made that
the Woman's Trade Union League IS
controlled by wealthy women, who put
a few working girls into important po'
sitions as figureheads.
"This is distinctly working wom-
ans organization" she declared vene-
mently. "The executive board is made
up of nineteen members, every one OF
whom, with the exception of me and
my sister, is working woman and the
member Of a union. Our enemies make
such assertions because we are in
favor of suffrage, and they try to dis
parage this movement, which is made
up of working women, and has for lts
aim the welfare of working women"
Convention in New York Next Month.
The biennial convention of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League
will be held in New York next month
and to this convention working women
from all over the country will come to
discuss their common interests.
This will prove beyond a doubt that
the Trade Union League is working
woman's organization" the national
president continued. Delegates from
every sort of union will be present,
and they will talk over what women
workers want in the way of conditions
of work. hours, wages and industrial
training. This is the first time in the
history Of New York that such a meet
ing will be held. We expect to do
much in the way Of organizing those
workers who haven't unions and
strengthening the unions already
formed. This is a wonderful work in
which we are engaged. and 1t is just
the beginning"
With the CHEEKY optimism that is
part of her nature, Mrs. Robins looks
ahead to a wonderful future for the
Trade Union League. She sees il as
the strongest federation OF organized
labor in the country, the powerful ar
bitter that will some day do away with
all the evils that handicap women in
industry.

U. S. RELIEF ACTS

Food Stations Kept Many
Thousands from Death
Polish Aid Call.

American relief stations In Belgium
continue to be Of incalculable beneht
to that nation, according to a report
by Caroline Hedger. Miss Hedger
made O thorough inspection Of many
feeding stations, especially OF those
in Antwerp. and found the condition
Of the people considerably improved
since last December.
"The soup kitchens are well admin

this Is found in the appearance OF the
people themselves; they all appear
fairly we'll nourished. The ration oil
soup and bread costs the city from ten
to twelve centimes a day for each
person. The cleanliness Of the soup
kitchens Is most noticeable.
"The infant feeding, so we'll carried

This work is now carried on by inter-
ested persons at three stations. and two
moro will soon be opened. Women OF
means not only finance these stations
but prepare the milk for the babies
themselves.
Infant consultation work in Ant
werp is becoming increasingly difficult
because Of the quality of the milk,
which is becoming affected by the
growing difficulty Of getting food for
the cows, and on account of the scar
city Of malt soup, for which the sta
lions must depend on German
sources"
Henrik sienkiewics has issued an
appeal to civilized nations" in behalf
OF his countrymen in Poland. The
assistance given to Belgium" he
writes, "has honored humanity. Poland,
my country, now appeals for aid.
IAN area seven times as vast as
that of the realm Of King Albert has
in Poland been crushed and devastated
by the iron heel of war. May the
Polish nation survive this hour OF
supreme trial and with renewed hope
and strength await the dawn OF her
near resurrection"
This appeal for Poland, the principal
theatre, object and victim of the
present war, by the general committee
for the relief of the victims ot war
there. is being circulated by the Amerl-
can Polish Relief Committee, IA East

less. It is of rich quality Of ribbed
silk, and Is red, white and blue
striped. The front Of the blouse, the
tucker which fills in the round cut,
the collar and the lower part of the
sleeves, from below the elbow to the
wrists, are Of fine white linen.
Fine 0rgandle Blouse, Hemstitohed
and Tucked.
A very pretty organdie blouse was
attractive, mainly because Of It's sim
plicity. It had high collar, with a
hemstitched and tucked turnover, and
similar turnover cuffs. Back and front
the transparency Of the material was
relieved by the narrow tucks, in two
widths, with interpreting lines Of
hemstitching. 1t was a very cookbook
ing blouse, and It's price was 81.
Coarse linen is very serviceable for
summer and outing blouses, and the
shops are showing inexpensive plain
models that are most attractive. One
may find yoked blouses, with one box
pleat at each side, and on each pleat
a patch pocket. Price, So. Or there
are high collared waists, which are
embroidered about the edge Of the
picoted turnover collar, and next to
the buttons that fasten the centre Of
the blouse. These two are 81.
A pretty organdie blouse, which IS
very similar to the first linen one de-
scribed here, save that in place Of the
two box pleats 1t has q bar Of small
tucks at each side, on which the pock-

be buttoned up high about the throat,
or the collar may be turned down.
Large pearl buttons effect the faSten-

feature is the convertible collar, is in
self-striped white satin. Its price Is
S2.95.
OF q different type is the blouse
which combines chiffon and shadow
lace in q very effective fashion. 1t

"And there are young women all
over tho country who are eager to

"They feel an urge within them to

they are handicapped in their work by
a lack OF education, and they want TO

only thing that cut down into the heart
| Of things"
In Chicago. where through Mrs. Rob-
mss efforts a powerful branch Of the
National Trade Union League has been
built up, working women. the unor-
ganized ones as well as the members
of unions, look to the league for guild
ance in every sort OF matter.
"lf they are fined unjustly, II the
boss tells them to swear they are not
in favor Of an eight hour working day,
II they are forced to work overtime
without pay, or to work all day Sunday
for 10 cents-whatever their grievance
Is, they appeal to tho league" said Mrs.
Robins. eve are glad that they have
such confidence in US, and that they
realize the strength Of organization"
And II Is In Chicago, too, that the
school where young working girls re-
ceive training to At themselves for
helping their fellow workers Is estab-
lshed. It is affiliated with two large
universities, the University of Chicago
and tho Northwestern University. Girls
who, through the stressful times OF
strike, have acted with courage and
have shown themselves born leaders, as
we'll as those who have shown potential
leadership In other ways, are sent to
this school, and all their expenses are
paid. The course includes instruction
in economies, the history OF the labor
movement and famous industrial cases,
English, public speaking and other sub
jects useful to an organizer.
Public Speaking Class Most Important.
unfortunately, we have not been
able TO provide for the upkeep Of the
school and the students this winter, but
we shall start again in September said
Mrs. Robins. "The young women who
have attended are all doing splendid
work now.
an our public speaking class, which,
by the way, is one Of the most impor-
tant classes, there was one young girl
who suffered from excessive timidity.
She had been employed from the time
she was twelve In dangerous trade,
and the acids and chemicals had
stunted her stature and impaired her
health. And yet she was the one who
syaved the whole Illinois Legislature
when she went before them to plead
for an eight-hour day for working
women. These girls all have a mes
sage, something important to give, and
when they have learned how to express
themselves In plain English and how
to face an audience they arc we'll

Early Spring
Blossoms
Hepatica and It's Feathery Coat.

One Of the early spring flowers Is the
silken haired hepatica or liverleaf.
As its name indicates, its leaf Is very
similar in shape and color TO the
human liver. According to the old doc
trine OF Signatures" this would render
the plant eficacious in the cure OF ell
complaints of the liver. However, in
spite of its name and associations, the
hepatica is the sweetest OF our wood
land and garden charmers.
In earliest spring it's delicately tint
cd petals, that range from pure white
TO deepest purple, burst through the
carpet OF dry, dead leaves, borne on a
littio stem covered with silvery silken
hairs that give the plant downy and
warm appearance, as II il were wrapped
in a comforter against the chills OF
winter.
The starry flowers come before the
three-lobed leathery leaf of mottled
coppery hues The hepatica is great
favorite for the flower border, because
of it's abundance of bloom and the
variety Of its shades and colors. II is
excellent, too, Tor the north or east
stones of the rockery. The flowers are
charming cid English garden favorites
that droop and close at night.
Spring Bulbs Indoors.
And yet another little bulb COM
pletes the very early spring bouquet.
This Is the squill or wild hyaclnth.
n has come TO us from the Mediter-
ranean regions, where it is cultivated
for the syrup of squills used medici-
nally in bronchial trouble. The plant
is 1ne Of the lily family, and above It's
grasslike leaves carries spray OF ex-
Suisite rich blue bells. II is beautiful
in masses, or as an edging to the
border.
one thing Of interest TO be remem-
hered is that all the spring bulbs, with
the exception OF the snowdrop, if set
in a pot and kept in warm room, with
proper moisture, will force splendidly
and fill the room with fine display
of indoor bloom, while the logs are
still being piled on the fire and winter
rAzss without. ------

bold enough TO stand up for themselves
and their comrades" explained Mrs.
Robins as she sat in the Office OF the
New York Women's Trade Union
League In East Twenty-second Street
"And they must organize before they
can have this strength. II is our hope
that all the working women IN this
country will become members OF
Unions. We have school now 10
train bright young women TO organize
their sister workers. Working women
have caught the vision Of solidarity Of
women, and they are the most un-
selfish and the most willing TO sac
rifce themselves for a principle"
Mrs. Robins, who Is sister OF
Misses Mary and Katherine Dreier,
both of whom are prominent in social

that was not enough. For instance,
when ! was in New York ten years ago
there was law compelling tenement
industries to be taxed, but every time
the inspector made his rounds he found
no signs OF industry. The news would
spread throughout the community that
he was coming, and the work would be
hidden before he arrived. Even the
little children knew their living de-
pended upon their duping the inspector.
