At frequent intervals shipments OF
Apperson roadaplanes are being

the Central and South American coun-

this shipments have been made to
Spain and Cuba.

Goodyear Tires Are
Featured in Pretty
Window Display

The change OF the season is given
due consideration in the handsome
window displays now being sent out
by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company. The design has already at
tractcd much favorable comment and
will give combination of the picto-
rial and floral in well-balanced effect.
When Goodyear a few years ago
established window display depart
ment and engaged the window expert
of one Of the big Chicago stores to
manage It there was much comment
on the then innovation" Goodyear
window displays have helped in the
making OF extremely attractive stores
and have aided nightly in the selling
of hundreds of thousands OF Good
year tires. All the leading tire manu-
facturers now have their window dis
play departments.
Wistaria vines and flowers are used
In the festooning that accompanies
the grouping Of tires in the first fall
display. There will also be a painting
and other placards-all used as a set
ting for sturdy all-weather tread fab
ric tires.

MISS HENDRIkA VAN DER FLIER.

Miss Hendrika 4. c. Van Der Filler.
daughter of the court chaplain, who,
as president of the synod of the Dutch
Reformed Church, officiated at the mar
riaSe and the coronation of Queen Will
helmina. is in Washington on special
mission to raise funds to build home
for Belgian orphans. She is the house
guest Of Mrs. Charlotte Kelsey Darling,
2254 Cathedral avenue northwest, and
is to give a parlor talk on how Hol-
land has been the foster mother to a
million and a half of little waits from
Belgium. Her address will be made
in the home of Mrs. Charles S. Hamlin,
1915 Massachusetts avenue, this after
noon at o'clock. Miss Van Der Filler
will illustrate her talk with many Ian
tern slides.
Mrs. Wilson at the White House at
noon today. She was a luncheon guest
at the Dutch legation, and at o'clock
was introduced TO a number OF prominent
persons in the diplomatic circle at the
home of Nine. Jules ]. Jusserand, wife
of the French ambassador
A free lecture on what Holland has
done for Belgian child refugees is to be
given by Miss Van Der Filler in Wood
ward & Lothrop's auditorium tomorrow
afternoon at $50 O'Clock. Here also
Miss Van Der Filler will show her lam
tern slides. This lecture is given to
arouse interest in her project to build
a school home for Hollands little war
orphaned charges.
Introduction by Rev. Charles Wood.
At the public lecture Miss Van Der
Filler is TO be introduced by Rev.
Charles Wood. Among those on Miss
Van Der Filters committee in Wash
ington are Mrs. John w. Foster. Mrs.
Charles S. Hamlin. Mrs. Hennen Jen-
nings, Mrs. H. B. Larned, Mrs. C. c..
Marbury. Rev. DR.. Ulysses Pierce, DR..
q. c. Sidwell. Mrs. Whitman Cross, Mrs
Logan Waller Page, Mrs. Charles Wood
and Mrs. II. W. Van Loon.
Miss Van Der Filler. in cooperation
with the Belgian minister at The
Hague. Baron Fallon and DR.. Franz
Van Caulwelaer of the Belgian parlia-
ment. has undertaken to raise 100000
for the proposed home.
When the food of desperate refugees
swept into Holland they were given
shelter in churches. institutions and
homes, and tented cities sprung up in
the parks and the incomers peopled the
woods. In one day Miss Van Der Filler
raised enough money, clothing and
food to supply $500 refugees in Roos-
endaal. She considers this the hap
piest day" of her life.
Before the war Miss Van Der Filler
had started a club for boys at The
Hague, placing it under the patronage
of the prince consort. When she en-
tered upon this project her whole CAPT
tai was 81. Today they have a good
building free from debt and mem
bership of 235 boys. In this club more
than 100 Belgian boys were given a
home for many months. What she sue
ceeded in doing at home encourages
Miss Van Der Filler to believe she will
be successful in her mission here.

Southeastern Railroads Say
Concessions Asked by Train
men Are Unreasonable.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
ISSUES A STATEMENT
Asserts Eight-Hour Basic Work Day
Proposal Simply Is Question of
Higher Wages.

Claiming that the southeastern rail-
roads cannot meet. from y financial
standpoint. the demands of the enGi-
ncers' firemen's. conductors and train
mems brotherhoods for IN eiSht-hour
basic workday, and time and half pay
for overtime. the executive committee
of the southeastern railways has Is
sued a statement asking the public to
consider the whole question on the
basis of the demands and the ability of
the railroads to meet them.
The employees are not asking that
they be relieved from service at the
end OF eight hours. as they realize that
this is not practicable in road service.
and the form in which the demands
have been made clearly shows this.
says the statement in part. Thus the
language of their own proposed de-
mands is that on runs of 100 miles or
less overtime will begin at the eX-
piration of eight hours. This simply
means that if = freight train requires.
as it usually docs, at least ten hours
to run 100 miles. the train and engine
employees shall receive their day s pay
for eight hours of work and shall re-
ceive time and half for the two ad-
dit iOnal hours

Describes Hollands Methods.

In describing how plucky little Hol-
land. beset with her own wartime per-
plexities, was inundated by the food OF
refugees. Miss Van Der Filler says:
The little Dutch towns were swamp
cd under wave after wave of Belgian
immigrants One town of 5000 inhab-
tants found 100000 Belgians crammed
in its streets when the rush from Am
sterdam began. A village of 1000 was
swelled TO $4,000 in a night, and shell
tered 1000 of these in its immense
cathedral Today the government is
building barracks to house the informed
Belgian soldiers with their families.
But it is not enough to give tenn

left its homes unlocked, the kettles on

which show the terrible confusion of

talks in gentle tones the whole rout ar

in all the roads which led to safety, a
mob so harassed by wagons and bicy-
cles and motor cars. that many a Bel

when she reached a Dutch frontier
town and found her baby crushed to
death in her arms.
Every Family Loses Member.

the family" said Miss van der Filler.
Every Belgian family has lost

children, and of mothers who hunt

more tragic than the cannonading
