 Action Necessary.

 The head of the orderdwells upon the importance of the meeting to Odd Fellows. points out that transporta- tion companies can handle the eX- pscted 5000 delegates and. apparently to correct any misunderstanding. makes the definite statement the con ventipn will be held.
 "Never in the history of the order" the statement recites. was there so much depending upon the assembling of American and Canadian Odd Eel lowship in annual convention. In ad- dition to transacting the ordinary bus mess that will, come before the Sov- creign Grand lot,ge, there will be large volume of work to be done by our order acting in cooperation with the Red Cross and like associations in furnishing relief to all who may be subjected to the horrors of this war The fact that Odd Fellows will soon go to the front in protection of home and of civil religious liberty. makes it our highest duty to provide for them when injured in battle. failing ir health or otherwise requiring fra ternal and helpful care of fraternity. The protection of our widows and or phans at this time is more essential than ever. so the duties devolving up on us relatively are greater.
 "ln view of existing coalitions it is most imperative that the Sovereign Grand lodge met this year for legis- lation on important matters that will confront us. Over $500.o00 WAS con tributed to the relief of brethren dur ing the past year and with the worlds calamity forced upon America the sue cor to be extended during the war will run into great figures

HERBERT HOOVER IN THE MAKING -; A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

When Herbert Clark Hoover had reached the age when he wanted to be something more than farmer. he in- formed his parents of his desire for a broader education. They promised to send him to the Quaker school in the district, but young Hoover rebelled and through his own efforts managed to make his way through Leland Stan ford university, says the Literary Di- gest.
 Something of his struggle iron, plowooy to his present position is told by writer in the Providence Journal, who says:
 Born on an Iowa farm, August 10, 1874, r.. Hoover is the son of Jesse C, and Muldah R. Hoover, industrious Quaker residents of West Branch. His early life was spent upon the Iowa farm, where the hard work of wrest- Ing with the brown earth and harvest Ilng crops made his muscles firm and his nerves steady and gave him an inti- mate knowledge of the lives of those who are forced to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow.
 At an early age he developel an am. oitlon to become something more than mere farmer, and when the family moved to California, early in his teens. he voiced his desire to go to college.
 It Is related that this request of the lao was met by the parents with the promise to send him to a Quaker school and that they were somewhat nonplussed by the assertion of the son, who declared: II don't want to go to a Quaker school Q. a college founded by any other special sect. l want to go where will have a

 During the Boxer uprising in lsoo, Mir. Hoover was in Tientsin ln charge of important mining operations. hs not only safeguarded the porperty Q. the company, but kept faith with tns Chinese people, and in 1901 became general manager of the Chinese Eng. neering and Mining company. From China Mir. Hoover-who was now recognized as an authority on mining went to London to take charge oi several large companies.
 It was MT. Hoover's great work !, III behalf of suffering humanity Tn pe glum that made him best known 10 th7 world, tho his energies were tlrsl u rected to getting American tourlS,.o to,.s out of the country when the war oroA' out.

There is no smarter coat foi certain occasions than this ore It is ideal for travelling and for general utility service and It can be made from serge or rom gabardine, as it is here with the skirt to match, or 1t can be made of one of those ma, terials, of wool jersey, or of something lighter to be worn V. with a separate skirt, light weight wool velours or Bolivia cloth, and all these are beautiful with lining of foulard. There is, indeed, no more fashionable nor more practical wrap than the coat made from some one of these materials in dark blue with the lining and trimming of blue foulard showing large polka dots of white. There IS just sufficient military suggestion to be in keeping with the spirit of the hour without becoming aggressive. The skirt is four pieces and plaited sides being extended to form the belt.
 For the medium size the cape will require, 6 yards of mate rial A inches wide, 4A. yards 54 with yard 54 inches widetor the trimming. For the skirt will be needed, 334 yards of either width.
 The cape pattern No. 9464 is cut in one size, adapted te bust measure 34 to AZ inches The skirt pattern No. o43S k cut in sizes from 24 to g inche: waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of thi' paper on receipt of fifteen cents for each.
 What girl could ask a pret- tier frock than this one, made of foulard with a detachable collar of white organdie! 1t IS exceedingly smart, yet it IS ab- solutely simple and that com bination of smartness with sim plicitv means an ideal costume for the younger contingent. You can, of course, copy 1t III one of the fine cotton volles that are being SO much used or you can use the model for oreandie or for handkerchief lawn, but the foulard is always serviceable and the white or gandie collar gives just the touch of Summer-like dalntl- ness that Is essential.
 For the I6-year size will be needed, 715 yards of material 3o inches wide, 5s4 yards A with s4 yard 5o inches wide fol the collar.
 The pattern No. o452 is cut in sizes for 1o and IS years. Ii will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department ol this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents
