RED CROSS NAVY
AUXILIARY MAY
Be FORMED HERE

Advices received today from Wash.
ington announce that the formation
OF the Naval Auxiliary Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, with branches through
out the country. are taking place I'M
der the direction OF the Red Cross
War Board Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury OF
Philadelphia has been named chair
man Of the auxiliary. and Secretary Of
the Navy Joseph Daniels will shortly
appoint an advisory committee Of
women to aid her in the work
The plan is to have the Red Cross
take over and coordinate all the navy
relief activities such as are now be-
ing conducted by the Navy League
and various other organizations. The
local organizations throughout the ma
tion will affiliate with, and be respon-
sible TO the Red Cross chapters. who
will furnish literature and raw ma
terial, and ship the finished articles to
a central eastern depot.
While local officials Of the Hawaii
Red Cross have not yet received noti
fication Of this new organization
movement, they believe It is an ex-
cellent plan, as all the military relief
work will be under the control Of one
organization 1t Is further believed
that this order will tend to offset the
confusion caused by the recent an
nouncement of Secretary Daniels that
no more articles would be accepted
from the Navy League.
The local Red Cross has been &C.
cepting work from the Navy League
here in Honolulu, and the relief work
ers have already shipped two cases
of finished articles to their New York
depot. The cases contained socks, As
mufflers, q pairs of wristlets, SO
jackets, sleeveless, and a number Of
jackets with sleeves.
The Navy League, under the direc-
tion Of Mrs. Gerrit P. Wilder, recently
organized a number Of Red Cross
first aid classes Work in elementary
hygiene was taught under the direc-
ton of the Women's Section Of the
Navy League. Thus the local women,
many of whom are members Of both
the Red Cross and Navy League duxi.
liary, are cooperating in the relief
work
The step toward organizing naval
auxiliary to the Red Cross was taken
at the suggestion of President Wilson
who said that the Red Cross was
broad enough to embrace all efforts
for the relief Of our soldiers and sail
ors and that multiplicity of relief
agencies tended to confusion, delay
and waste" -. -.

express ones individuality in the
clothes one wears, but we would not
like to admit the lack Of temperament
which sameness in dress would most
surely indicate. Bearing this in mind,
would stand US in good stead, when
we go forth to purchase a new winter
coat. We should decide upon lines
that are entirely different from the
majority of things that we wear, and
the change will be found delightful.
A long wasted coat when opened up
on a dainty short wasted frock, would
give very pleasing effect of contrast.
This word, contrast" is the keynote
of all fashion lore. Almost every
gown, wrap or waist is described in
contrasting colors or materials.
Some of the new shades for fall
and winter are Cardoue, Rouille, Sene-
CALAIS, soleil, Feeble, Billiard, Emf
hence, Vieux Blue, Marmotte, Flotte,
Chaimois. Pivoine, Quetsch,s Ceder
and Prunelle.
