Society and War.

From Washington comes the an
nouncement from President Wilson
that there are to be no social func-
lions at the white house during this
season and probably none during the
period of the war. New York. Chi
cago and other cities are trying to
settle on a code which will deter
mine what is proper In a social way
during the war period. New York
seems to have decided that social
functions which may be called as
they term it war assemblies" are
permissible, and Chicago is follow
ing that lead. New York society
women have printed in the city
papers this approved social schedule:
Dinner followed by music.
Knitting bees preceded by
luncheon.
Informal teas for debutantes.
Dances for young folks.
Concerts and morning musicals.
Opera
Bridge.
Skating and all indoor sports.
Dancing at war relief and home
charity events.
Dancing at soldiers and sailors
clubs
Most people of good judgment con-
cede that young people must have
some social diversion and no taboo
any place has been put on them ex-
cept in the matter of elaborate and
expensive entertainments.

SINCE WAR FOR
D. c. RED CROSS

Membership OF the District Chap
ter of the Red Cross has Increased
from 1000 to 10000 during the past
four months. the finance committee
announced today.
H. B. F. mcfarland. chairman Of
the committee, thinks this is 4 re-
markable indication of the active in
terest taken by the people OF Wash
ington in the Red Cross. More than
75 per cent OF the new members have
contributed to the war service fund,
In addition to paying their regular
dues as members of the District chap
ter.
The committee wishes to emphasize
the fact that the District chapter dues
and fees are entirely separate from
the war service fund, the dues being
devoted to administration expenses OF
the local chapter and the national
organization, while the money. con-
tributed toward the war service fund
is all devoted to relief OF the fighting
forces of this country and our allies
and Of the war refugees.
Among the larger contributions to
the fund received today were 800
from Robert Oden, s15s.40 from en-
ployes OF st. Elizabeth's Hospital. and
800 from Mrs. George Whitfield
Brown. There was also a Red Cross
dividend from Maxwell Woodruff OF
$500 on the stock of the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper Company.

TWO YOUTHS TRY
TOHOLD UP TRAIN
IN CONNECTICUT

SEYMOUR, Conn, July 2I.-Emu-
lating the example OF the bad men Of
the West whom they had seen in the
movies and had read about in lurid
novels. two Ansonia, Conn, youths
terrorized trainmen and passengers on
the New Haven road near Seymour to-
day and sent large posses of police
men on the search for train robbers.
The boys. Redvern Bowen. eighteen,
and Theodore Jakob. fifteen. started
from home this morning armed with
air rifles, a .32-caliber revolver. and a
Bowie knife. They planned arst
to hold up New Haven pas
senger train, due here at Sal. and
attached to which was the pay car.
Both youths opened FIRE as the train
approached. one bullet penetrating
the arm Of Fireman Horn and the
other piercing the clothing of En-
gineer Davis. The engineer put on
full speed, and on arriving here, re-
ported the attempted hold-up. Posses
started in search Of the bandits.
A trolley car furnished the next vic
tim. A pot shot from Bowen's re-
volver pierced a passengers straw
hat and caused a panic. The youths
were waiting for the next train when
police closed in on them.
