BRITAIN PLEASED
BY APPOINTMENT
Of EARL READING

LONDON, Jan. S--Satisfaction was
expressed in all quarters today over the
selection Of Earl Reading. lord chief
justice Of England. as British high COM
missioner and special ambassador to the
United States.
The appointment Is revolutionary not
alone in that it is the first time the sec
ond highest judicial official in England
has been requisitioned for distinctly
polical and business affairs. but in that
the appointee is of Jewish extraction.
Earl Reading is the son OF an obscure
Jewish immigrant.
The career OF Sir Rufus 1saAcs-Eari
Of Reading-has been frequently re-
ferred to by EnglIshmen to disprove the
notion that speedy transitions from one
estate to another can take place only In
the United States.
Rose From Cabin Boy.
In his youthful days, Earl Reading
was a cabin boy on a three-masted sail
Ing ship. He ran away from home and
shipped on the Blair Atholl. which took
him to Brazil and from there to Cal
cutta.
Al the age OF twenty-five he was q
financial failure, but a year later began
The study OF law. and at hftyfour he
was lord chief justice and receiving a
salary Of $4,000 annually.
During his law course Isaacs met Miss
Alice Edith Cohen. daughter Of a New
York merchant. who was in London with
her father. Together they studied law.
and shortly after his admission to the
bar he married her.
Goes to Parliament.
In 1904 lsaacE was sent to Parlia-
ment for a second term as a Liberal
from Reading. He became intimate
with Edward VI and was q regular
fourth" at the royal bridge table.
In 1909 he was made solicitor general,
and in 1910 he was knighted and made
attorney general
The following year Isaaes was
created privy councillor and made
knight commander OF the Victorian
Order.
As attorney general he conducted
the official inquiry into the Titanic
disaster.
Late in 1913 Isaacs was made lord
chief Justice, an office he may hold
Tor life. II was a sacrifice he made
in taking II since the salary is only
$4,000. His annual income for the
six years preceding had been $780,
900.
1t is understood that Earl Reading
will retain his position as lord chief
justice. His appointment to the Uni
ted States is for an indefinite period.

ORGANIZATION Of WAR
SAVINGS SOCIETIES IN
THE SCHOOLS IS URGED

The National War Savings Commit
tee has issued the following:
Every schoolteacher in the land is
commissioned to organize WARSAW.
ings society among pupils.
1t is an honor, distinction, and priv
ilege, all combined in one, and few,
indeed, will fail to seize this opportun-
ity to give expression to their pat
riotism and love of country.
Thousands of school war.savings So
cieties have already been formed.
Thousands more must yet be organz.
ed and the spirit of America" trans
lated into effective service by school
children, to help win the war.
Forward, march!
Can No Longer Ignore Call
The time is past when any public
body, old or young, can longer ignore
the call. School children have right
to bear their own part in the great
world struggle and every schoolroom
must be made into real fighting unit
for thrift, with every one saving money
with as much eagerness as they spent
it before.
The school children of America are
mobilizing! Hear the tramp, tramp,
tramp of 2O,0OO,OOO school children
every one of them pledged war saw
er in the service of his country. Eager
faces, looking up in confidence and
faith to the country which gave them
birth, saving their nickels and dimes
and changing them, through thrift
stamps, into mighty deeds Of valor on
Ene field of action-what wonder
full picture of true democracy.
Delay Helps the Enemy
If any school-teacher has not yet
organized schoolroom war-savings
society-has not yet caught the
spirit ito have part" in the great
war-now is the time to "right-about-
face and lead the charge from the
trenches of thrift. Delay in organic
ing these war-savings societies helps
no one but the enemy.
County chairmen should make sure
that every school-teacher is alive to
the situation.
He should follow up-check up, I'M
til he knows that not a schoOlroom in
his county-rural or city-is missing
from the ranks; that every school
teacher can answer the roll call as a
recruiting officer in the Army of
Thrift with the pride of duty we'll
performed.

Lumber Raft to Cross Sea,

One of the marvels of the age, ac-
cording to the marine authorities, an
invention which will make possible the
towing of 216,000 cubic feet of lumber
safely across the Atlantic ocean, has
been completed at a provincial port.
No matter how severe the storms or
how dangerous the undertaking, the
big raft Is sc constructed that it will
be able to make the long trip without
any possibility of loss or damage. Most
of the machinery used in this initial
craft can be used over again, and so
the cost of construction, estimated at
close to $4,000, will not affect the
business end of the undertaking.
The lumber, said to be sorely needed
on the other side. is valued at $150,000.
The big raft has been under construc-
ton for several months, 20 men being
employed all the time on the work of
building it.

FROCKS OF VELVET SOMBER
Texture and Color Lend Distinction to
Daytime Costumes Though Lit
tie Trimming Is Used.

The women who dress well appar-
vet frocks. More often they are built
up on very straight lines, with just
enough concession to the waist to
avoid any awkward blockiness.
Narrow-shouldered, la~rge-waisted,
long-sleeved, narrow at the hem are
most of these velvet frocks, but many
variations are played upon the theme.
Even where there is absolutely no
trimming, rs Is often the case, indi-
viduality is given to the model by
some original line of drapery on col
lar or sleeve; and If the velvet Is
one Of the exquisitely soft and lus-
trous fabrics on whose beauty war
conditions seem to have imposed no
limitations, it's texture and color and
line lend it more distinction than any
amount of trimming could give.
The daytime velvet frock If not
black is almost always somber in tone,
though the texture of velvet gives the
lie to somberness. If not very dark
it's color is likely to be neutral, and
although there are bright blues and
reds of the brick, mahogany, rust and
brighter wine shades among the vel
vet afternoon gowns, they are very
few compared with the host of blacks,
browns, taupes, deep wine and pur-
pie tones, dark green's, dark blues and
grays.
Where trimming is used upon the
velvet day frock it is usually a bit of
embroidery in self-color and metallic
thread or discreetly used fur. Much
less fur is introduced upon dresses
than was usual last year, though fur
is lavished upon the coats of the sea-
