The 1919 Red Cross drive is on, Hiss Mersereau having charge on the Hill and vicinity.
 To read of the passing on of Mrs. Chamberlin was to recall her as for years she has been one of the most charming women of the borough, or indeed, of the country side, and sym pathy is extended to those who loved her best and who will miss her most, from one who has always felt it a privilege to know her.
 The church services Sunday were very interesting, beautiful and sug- gestive. MT. Porter's text was from Acts &: 30, And Philip ran.

 At the Current Events club meeting Monday evening Miss Maud E. Hayes, state home demonstration leader, spoke on Home Economies, Since Home Economies include food, shelter and clothing. Miss Hayes chose as her subject The present clothes situ- ation." believing it would be a pleas ant change from the much talked of food conservation. The four fabrics, wool. silk. linen and cotton were spoken of with demonstration as to selecting them with understanding. The difficulty in procuring much of the raw material as flax, which comes largely from Belgium, necessarily makes linen scarce. We know where the greatest output of the wool and cotton have had to go. Silk seems very reasonable considering that from seven to nine thousand silk worms are destroyed to obtain enough long fibre silk to make one gown. In Italy, from whence We obtain most of our raw silk, the care of the worms is en- trusted to old women and children. else the cost would be far greater Comparative prices with samples of staple fabrics were given. Miss Hayes referred to sizings, filings, shrinkage, dying. setting of .colors and laundering imparting much in formation. The hostesses were Mrs F. F.. Leach. Mrs. E. A. Fuller and Miss Mary Russell.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.
Dealings Were Moderately Active ir
 -the First and Final Hours.

New York. July 25.-Except for the first and final hours. when dealings were moderately active, today's stock market sounded the depths of mid summer dullness
 The heavy buying towards the end was coincident with unofficial reports of fresh allied gains along important sections of the western battle front.
 As usual. the advance concentrated in such leaders as U. $. Steel, Read ing and some of the more popular in dUstrials and equipments. SteeTs eX- treme gain of l 5-8 was only slightly shaded and Reading retained all but q fraction of its two-point advance.
 ShippiEgs, oils. Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial Alcohol and the Tobacco group recorded gross gains of one to ? 1-2 points. although Sumatra To- bacCo repeated its recent unstable course, despite the proposed 15 per cent. stock dividend.
 Rails as a class were again relegat- ed to the background; St. Paul Com mon and preferred reacting 1 1-2 to ? points, but making up their loss on announcement of further delay by the directors respecting the dividends. Sales were 290.000 shares. Virtually all time funds were with drawn from the market, transactions being limited to renewals for moder- ate amounts.
 Bonds of all classes were irregular but hardened with Liberty issues al | the close. Total safes. par value, az gregated $5,175,000. Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

Connie Mack believes that Connecti- cut is the most fertile field for good shortstops, and in view of Mack's suc- cess in picking 'em his dope bears some weight. For the past ten years most of Comics short field work has been done by natives of the Nutmeg State who attracted Mack's attention while playing college ball. Jack Bar ry, from Connecticut and Holy Cross college, held the position for. many Kopf. another Connecticut boy, who had played for some time at Fordham. Now he has Joe Dugan, from the same state and college which turned out Barry Lawton Witt played the po- sition for a time, but as soon as Con- nie saw Dugan perform he admitted that the Connecticut boy was a cer- tainty for the place.

West Point Will Feel Loss of oiphant.

When Elmer Oliphant graduated from West Point this June the Mill tary Academy lost one of the greatest athletes of her history. Oliphant en- tered the Military Academy in 1914, after a four year course at Purdue, he was something of a star in the athletics line. Incidentally since his entrance to the Military Academy he has given the Middies a chance to use some ap- piled mathematics in figuring out how he got into West Point with the age. limit at 21 for. her played football four years at Purdue and four years in high school before entering the Academy.
 Oliphant has been prominent in all branches of sport since his admission to West Point. He is the only man ever graduated from the institution who has won his letter "A" in four sports. Oliphant holds a track record made at West Point, for which he was awarded the coveted letter, and wears an "A" for football, basketball and baseball as well.

Harvard Dean Sees No Objection to
 Athletics.

If there are enough men in college to play. see no reason why football and other sports should not be played this fall,' declared Dean Le Baron R. Briggs, chairman of the Harvard ath- letic committee, recently. The sum- mer may bring new and unforeseen obstacles, however, and it is not possi- ble to plan far in advance for sports in war time. So I cannot now say whether our games will be formal or otherwise. Nothing definite will be an- nounced until there is a consultation with Yale and Princeton"
 Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of the H. A. A., said it was impossi- ble to make any form of football schedule until the military plans of the college were made known. It seems certain that henceforth no man can belong to a team unless he is a mem : Der of the reserve officers training corps.
