America grew enthusiastic about the

from China and Japan some clever
person would look up our Indian work
and bring 1t out as rival.

Arizona used as trimming for hats

Red Cross Contributions
Surpass Hundred Million
BY associated Press

Washington, June 26.-Collection
OF Red Cross war fund subscriptions
obtained in the weeks campaign
which closed in most cities last mid
night, began throughout the United
States to-day with indications that
the amount would exceed the $780,
OO0,0 900 goal by several million dol
lars. Headquarters tabulations early
to-day showed a total of $100, 500, 900
with some cities yet unreported.
Stories of generosity which amaz-
ed even the campaign directors
reached headquarters to-day. Hun
dreds of cities went far past the goals
previously set for them. Communi-
ties contributed sufficiently to make
the per capita rate as follows:
Warren, Pa, $10.06; Red Bank, N
j., $3.50; Belmar, n. j., $7.6S; Glen
Ridge, n. J., $7.67; Morristown, N.
j., S7.43; Orange, n. j., $739. Red
Bank originally apportioned $4,000
passed its goal twenty times and
subscribed 100000. Orange, N. j..
was apportioned $4,000 and sub
scribed approximately half a million
dollars. Wilmington, Del, accepted
an apportionment of 100000 and
subscribed $1,000,00O.

RED CROSS IS
LAUDED FOR
HOME WORK
Little Notes of Appreciation
: Show Spirit With Which
Aid Is Received

Measures of Red Cross work, not
in dollars but in letters and notes of
appreciation, were made public yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of
The executive committee of the Har-
risburg chapter. The little notes of
appreciation are treasured and ap-
preciated by officials of the Red
Cross as much as the daily records
Of the huge sums of money raised as
The campaign grew nearer and final
ly went far past the 100000 mark.
1t is the intention of the women
at headquarters to keep constantly
In touch with the ones whom the
men called into service leave at
home. Not in pecuniary assistance
alone, although money will not be
wanting when money is required,
but the little human touches to make
life just a trifle easier for the ones
at home, is what the Red Cross
workers consider their real work in
The long months to come.
A letter was received yesterday by
Mrs Lyman D. Gilbert, from a SOL
der now in service, thanking the
ladies' of the Harrisburg Red Cross
for just a bit of encouragement and
help they had been able to extend to
a wife in this city when she needed
a human touch OF sympathy and
kindenss the NJ Another letter,
from a man in service on the bor-
der of the great lakes expressed the
same sentiment. His wife had called
at headquarters and the reception
10 pi
seemed most alone and friendless
had been the subject of letter TO
her husband. The husband, touched
by the spirit of the letter describing
the treatment she had received, in
duced him to write headquarters
thanking them in the name of a SOL
der of his country whose wife was
willing that he should go when he
was needed.
A letter was also received from a
young physician recently called into
service. The Red Cross had done
nothing but furnish him with one
of the kits they have sent to Har-
I sbsIg men, yet the spirit back of
the little tribute prompted him to
thank and encourage the work.
The executive committee yester-
day decided to have posted the
names of every member called into
active service, regardless Oh tne
branch. 1t would already make
quite large roll of honor and as
men or women are called into their
country's service another name will
be added to the Roll of Honor.
To keep in touch with these, as
well, who must bear the brunt of the
conflict as we'll as those who silently
fight it out in loneliness at home,
will also be a constant object in the
future. Each Harrisburg man or
woman in service means one deserv-
ing of the support of the home chap
ter. Officials say, to establish bond
of sympathy between them and the
ones who could not go will not be
the chief end and aim of the entire
membership who are left at home.

"a people unwilling to fight for the

er's right to make their laws"
This was the dominant note in the
address of Cyrus G. Derr, president,
at the opening session of the twenty
third annual meeting Of the Penn
sylvania Bar Association here to-
day.
Satisfactory progress in the at
tempt to bring about uniform legis-
latlon among the States was report
ed by William NJ. Hargest. of Harris
burg, chairman of the Uniform
State Laws committee.
In Pennsylvania there has been
passed this year "A uniform limited
partnership act which places this
State in line with many Others" he
said. An act has been reported to
the Legislature relating to deeds,
mortgages, transfers of lands, and
insurance of title, which is identical
with the uniform land registration
act recommended 10 the several
States of the Union. It was, how
ever of such vast Importance that
II was deemed inadvisable to at
tempt its passage at the sessions of
1917.
Nearly all the States have adopt
ed the negotiable Instruments act,
thirty-seven States. the uniform war
house receipt act, nineteen States
the uniform sales act, twenty-five
States the uniform bills of lading
act, twelve States the uniform stock
transfer act and five States the uni
