dressed largely attended meeting,
comprised of ladies from all sections
of the county, at the rooms of the
Woman's Club last Wednesday after
noon. Mrs. Hubbard, who is very
pleasant and fluent speaker, told OF
the work which the Maryland branch
of the League has already accom-
plished, over 1000 garments having
been knit and sent out by this orga-
nization alone. These garments
have been sent to the Navy and to
the various military units. She urg-
ed upon her hearers the necessity of
continuing their efforts, for with the
approaching cold weather, the needs
become greater and greater. Mrs.
Hubbard is devoting practically all
of her time to this work, paying all
of her expenses; in fact, all of the
expenses of the League, with the sin
gle exception of a bookkeeper, are
being paid by private donations, not
one cent of the Navy League funds
being used for expenses.
