DETAILS OF RELIEF WORK
QUIETLY DONE IN FRANCE
Group of Charitable Workers Unos-
tentatiously Contributes Thou
sands of Dollars for Supplies.

How a group of charitable persons have
unostentatiously given with the utmost
secrecy warm wooden socks, which have
given comfort to $4,000 men in hospitals
in France and from $1,000 to $4,000 a
week for many months with which hos
pital supplies have been purchased. Is
told in an article by Albert W. Staub in
the current issue of the American Red
Cross Magazine.
Mr.. Staub has since shortly after the
outbreak of the European war been super
'ntendent of the Red Cross shipping sta
ton at the Bush terminal in New York.
The receipt each week at this station of
five cases Of socks, each containing 100
dozen pairs and marked-"For France
from b friends" attracted his atten-
ton. He sought in vain to learn the iden-
tity Of the donors Mr.. Staub says
1.-The five cases continued to appear
regularly-each one containing 100 dozen
pair of perfectly good woolen socks. Up
to date that generous group of people
has sent abroad eighty of these cases,
leach containing 100 dozen pairs OF woolen
socks. which have been distributed among
hundreds Of hospitals and relief organiZa-
tions. An army OF $4,000 men found COM
fort in this wonderful gift-not in the
trenches, but an army of men with
bruised and tired feet whose fate It was
to be sent into the hospitals
But the work of this syndicate did not
stop here. In addition, it placed at the
disposal of the Red Cross $1,000 weekly
for emergency purchases, which amount
during the past four months was increased
to $4,000 weekly. With these funds there
were purchased and forwarded to the
French and Belgian hospitals the very
supplies that were most needed.
"And now comes the announcement that
100 dozen paisr moe OFF the socks are
on the way Thousands of people are
being comforted. healed and deeply moved
by the owe that prompts these gifts"

ACTIONS OF MOTHER MONK
UPHOLD DARWIN'S THEORY
Sunday Visitors to Zoo See Baby
Given Lesson in Politeness and
Good Manners.

Mr.. Darwin must be right.
To prove it one only should go out to
the Zoo and see Mother Monk instilling
ideas of politeness and good manners into
the brain of her little offspring.
Yesterday afternoon. when the usual
crowd with boxes of sweetened popcorn
and bags of peanuts gathered around the
open monkey cases-only, by the way, the
name Of the animals inclosed is not mon
key" but a queer scientific mixture Of
letter-the poor human beings received
a lesson in politeness that should be Of
benefit One brave man leaned across the
wire barrier and held his box of popcorn
within reach of Mother Monk. She reach
ed out for it. but her child thought she
was not quick enough and made a grab
for it. Mother looked her displeasure,
and, after looking at the crowd as if to
beg its indulgence. administered a sound
box on the ears of the presump:uous
one. That was the lesson in politcness.
Still further to prove that our present
day customs. to some extent, in regard TO
table manners. especially. must be in
herited from our Darwinian ancestors, one
only has to see the trained chimpanZee,
Sokko, at dinner. He is very human in
his actionS-he wipes crumbs from his
lips in the most approved human manner.
This is an old story, but still carries a
lesson

HARD TO OBTAIN CARGoEs.
Oyster Runners Report Dredge Boats
Fewer and Short Of Help.

Oyster runboat masters that bring
oysters to this market are certainly
up against 1t" in the matter of get
ting cargoes. Notwithstanding the Po-
tomac beds are reported full Of mar
ketable oysters, 1t is stated, the num-
ber of dredge boats engaged in the
work is smaller this year than usual.
Then many of them are shorthanded. as
it has been found difficult to ship crews,
even under the improved conditions
and the fact that practically all the
dredge boats are equipped with gaso-
line power to handle the dredges. 1t
also is stated that run boats which
supply the Baltimore market have been
forced, owing to the lack of oysters
or the upper bay beds, to come to the
Potomac for stock. This has made the
competition fierce among the runboat
masters In their efforts to get cargoes.
Unusually high prices are being paid
for good stock on the taking grounds,
price often as high as can be OBJ
tanned for the oysters in the market
here. So the life OF an oyster boat
master is just now not a particularly
happy one.

HOPING FOR INCREASE
IN STOCK OF OLD PAPERS
School Children Urged to Extra Eff
fort This Week in Behalf
of Fairgrounds.

The collections of old papers and
magazines from the public schools of
the District of Columbia for increasing
the fund for Fairgrounds and other So
cia1 activities continue today. It is
hoped that this week, in carrying out
the plan suggested by The Star and
sanctioned by the board of education.
all previous records may be beaten.
This may be done, it is said, If the
children will see that not a single old
paper is wasted. Adults in many in
stances are offering their help to the
youngsters, not only in saving papers
for them, but also in some instances
in rendering the use of their automo-
biles for bringing old papers from
schools in the outlying districts.
Suburban Deliveries Difficult.
At a number of the schools it is diff
cult, because of their distance out, for
regular collections to be made. In view
of this many have already volunteered,
some have actually assisted already,
and it is believed others will offer their
services in the near future. Principals
of these suburban schools have been
reluctant to ask for this service. 1t is
explained. but volunteers will find their
offers very acceptable.
Although the showing made by the
children so. far is considered very
creditable one. it Is hoped that great
increase will be noted. Between 220
and $50 short tons of newspapers are
printed in Washington weekly. More
papers are distributed in the city than
are taken out of it. So far the children
have brought in about ia 900 pounds in
two weeks. or an average of only
about one-half a pound per child.
Probable Income Stated.
Even at this rate more than $4,000
can be raised for the playground fund
by the end of the year. At the same
time. if the children determine that
not single old paper shall be lost, the
amount can be raised even beyond this.
Of course. papers are being collected
through other agencies, but it is be-
iieved that a large number are being
lost and that the children, If they will
try hard enough, can greatly increase
their collections this week.
