PENN WAMPUM BELTS HERE
Historic Relics Obtained by Museum
of the American Indian

The Museum of the American Indian,
Heyde Foundation, has just received
from England two relics of the days
of the early redmen which are re-
garded as treasures by antiquarians
and anthropologists They are wan
pun belts which belonged to William
Penn, having been given TO him by the
Indians to seal treaties between them.
A third similar belt is now in the
museum of the Historical Society OF
Pennsylvania.
The wampum belts were sold at auc-
ton last July by Christie, in London.
Collectors in this country did not learn
of the auction until after il was over.
Harmon w. Hendricks, vice-chairman
of the board of trustees of the NV
scum OF the American Indian, then
volunteered to provide all funds neces-
sary to get the belts for the museum
collection. and after long negotiations
with the new owners the purchase was
made.
Prior TO the auction the belts were
the property of the late j. Herrioi
Head, who in 1857 bought the Penn
estate, known as Pennsylvania Castle,
at Portland, England, with ell its his
toric contents.

ment of Hospital Supplies for Allies

The United States Branch of Queen
Mary's Needlework Guild Is continuing
its work on a larger scale than hereto
fore, owing to the many divisions in
operation in the various states. To-day
its Delaware division, of which Mrs.
Alfred |. du Pont is president, is ship
ming by the Cunard steamer Andania
2O2 cases, containing $4,000 packages
and garments. This is the largest ship
ment yet made by any division Of the
guild and is an evidence OF the in
creasing interest in war relief work.
The shipments of the guild consist
mainly of hospital necessaries, includ-
ing bed clothing, surgical instruments
and dressings, antiseptics, and knitted
socks, underwear, sweater coats and
such articles as are necessary for the
Quitting of the convalescent wounded.
Mrs. du Points shipment for the
Wilmington division of the guild con-
tanned among other articles 10000
ounces of antiseptics. 1850 pairs of
knitted socks, 144 pairs of leather soled
slippers, twelve dozen bath towels, sew
eral hundred pounds of absorbent cot
ton, 5000 yards of surgical gauze, b.
500 surgical dressings, paJamas, sur
gieal shirts. nightshirts, knitted jerseys
and other necessarles.
In view of the urgent and increasing
needs of the hospitals of the Allies it
is the hope of the Queens Guild 70 en-
large its present ratio OF increase over
the shipments Of last year A total OF
1900 cases have been shipped.
The headquarters Of the guild at -
West Thirty-frst Street are always
open 10 all interested in this character

CITY CLUB PLANS
100000 HOME
Building for 1900 Will Be
Near 42d Street and
Fifth Avenue

The City Club Of New York intends
to erect a 100000 club building near
Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue.
This was revealed last night when
the board of trustees submitted its re-
port at the twenty-fourth annual meet
ing of the club, at 90 West Forty
fourth Street. The, new building will
accommodate from 1000 to 5000 men,
bers. The present membership of the
City Club is 1,S4s, having increased
from 1902 in the last year.
II was announced that an architect
had been employed to prepare plans for
the new structure. These will soon be
laid before the members for approval.
Regarding the clubs civic work, the
trustees report cited the following as
the most important activities of the or
ganization during the year:
Unifcation OF building laws; the
zone system of building restriction;
development Of the Schoharie water
shed; prevention of the repeal OF the
present ballot law and of the act abol-
ishing the elective coroner system; at
tempt TO obtain the ratification of the
proposed constitution of 1915; investi-
CATION Of the suitability of voting ma
chimes for New York; attempt to ex-
tend the system of public employment
exchanges, and readjustment of the
financial relations between the city and
the state.
Among the subjects which, it was
announced, would receive the clubs
attention this coming year were: Leg
islatiou to meet transit strikes; amend
ments to the city charter; public en-
ployment bureaus; new standing
committee to follow the work of the
Public Service Commission; legislation
TO insure longer terms for Police Com
missioners; study of the cost and
operation of the direct primary law
and a study of the operation OF the
present ballot law.
If the holding of another conGtitu-
tional convention was voted down, as
seems likely, the City Club will urge
III. Governor to create constitutional
commission like that of 187l-72, which
saved most of the good features Of the
rejected constitution of 1859.
