and old gloves. The tea towels were
for Camp Lewis. since the government
furnishes only one towel to every ten
men. The stockings were for gun
swipes and rags for the men to use
in camp. About 1000 scrap books were
made by the children. and a personal
letter from the maker to the soldier
was written on the first inside page.
Thousands OF pairs Of gloves were
collected. and for a time Mrs. Bowen
collected them herself until sometimes
there was not room to sit to drive in
the car. Since then Mr. Bowen sends
a truck for the supplies.
There are eight processes in the
making of the vests, allowing each
worker to choose the part she likes
best to do. and thereby becoming
more proficient in her particular line.
First. the gloves are cut. then
pressed. then sorted. then basted on
thin lining. then stitched. pressed
again. then lined. trimmed. and finally

gloves. the vests can be made Of

Trese are called the sport vests. The
men have taken liking to these. and
from time to time requests come for
the bright-colored ones. One of the
boys In Texas is wearing one of these
gay vests, and he has written to the
department.: "Oh, the flt of 1t, and
the warmth of 1t. but, oh. the color
Of it is what pleases me-"
Some of the men have their vests
made entirely from their sweetheart's
gloves. Another lad, a Seattle boy,

Armband Instead Of Mourning.
The woman's committee. Council of
National Defense. makes the follow
ing statement:
A black armband, with a gold star,
has been recommended by the woman's
committee OF the Council of National
Defense, to be worn instead of mourn
ing by American women who have
lost members OF their family in the
service Of the country.
This action of the committee at this
time is prompted by feeling on its
part that we should determine before
hand the attitude we are to take to.
ward the inevitably growing death roll
of the defenders of our country. The
wearing of such insignia will, 1t feels,
express better than mourning the
| feeling of the American people that
such losses are q matter Of glory
| rather than Of prostratfng grief and
depression.
For a long time the woman's COM
mittee has been receiving letters from
women urging some such action on
| its part. The determined avoidance
of mourning by Englishwomen has
been much commented on and praised.
The insignia which has been chosen
by the woman's committee Is Of q
kind that can readily be made at
home out of whatever material can
! be procured. The band is to be black
/, and three inches wide-the stars gilt.
and one for each member Of the fam
| lily who has lost his life in service.
These stars may be Of gold. Of gilded
metal, Of satin or Of cloth. Tho de-
sign. will not be patented, and the
insignia will meyer become q CONNER
cial article.

noting the class of service may be
placed above any of these three stand
ard badges. For instance, tho in
