GOVERNOR APPEALS
FOR RED CROSS HELP
Organization Plans to Aid
Sufferers From Disasters.

Gov. Smith issued a proclamation yes
terday urging the people throughout the
State to respond generously to the ap-
peal OF the American Red Cross In the
third roll call for members. Recalling
the gigantic task which the American
Red Cross performed successfully during
the war. the Governor wrote that the
work of the organization Is permanent
In nature and universal in its scope,
meeting alike the requirements of war
and the demands of peace" In conclud-
ing the proclamation designated the
week beginning November 2 as "Red
Cross Week.
Additional interest In the drive was
occasioned BY the announcement that
the organization plans to provide sub
stantial assistance where suffering is
cnused by disasters. A Red Cross state
ment pointed out that since 1901 disasters
of peace have cost many thousands Of
lives and have brought injury and per-
sonal losses to no fewer than 100000
persons, while the amount Of property
destroyed was valued at more than
81, ,000, Zoo. 900. During 1917 eighty dis
ssters came to the attention OF the Red
Cross
II is planned TO mobilize disaster pre-
paredness committees for emergency re-
lief in every Red Cross chapter of the
country. Surveys will be made by the
committees to locate emergency food
supplies, drugs, clothing, &c.

OF HOUSING URGED
Association Backs
Bill IN Congress.

The Merchants Association Is urging
the passage by Congress of a bill Great
ing a bureau of housing and living con-
ditions in the Department OF Labor. The
measure is pending in the House.
In a report unanimously approved by
the associations board OF directors, It's
committee on housing. which made a

said:
This bill approprlates s250.000 for
tho creation OF bureau OF housing and
living conditions IN the Department of

to investigate housing and living condi-
tions and to collect and make available
all possible information in regard to the
elimination OF slums. Improvement OF
living conditions, reduction of cost OF
construction Of dwellings, and financing
home building operations.
TN the opinion OF the committee the
creation of such a bureau would per-
petuate and make available a vast
amount OF valuable data compiled by
various housing agencies of the Govern
ment during the war Furthermore, the
activities OF such bureau would prove
to be very beneficial, especially In pre-
senting the serious aspects Of the hous-

Young Johnny Maher. wandering into

principle marked out years ago by that
wise man named Brodie. that while some
persons climb TO fame others fall into it.
Johnny was tracking over the Manhat-
tan Bridge. or sleeping on the railing. 1t
hasn't been settled which way it was,
when he astonished himself and some
calm persons below by shunting over the
parapet into atmospheric space.
Johnny fell l10 feet, curveting niinb'y
In the air and not especially looking
where he was going. There were no
witnesses to see just how he did the trick.
but he can be found at Gouverneur Hos
pital by inQuiring there. He has a
racking headache that the doctors think
comes from a large bump above one ear
and he is In some danger OF being com
PEELED to have himself X-rayed to find
out if everything Is as usual in his In
sides, but he Is in no danger of joining
other bridge jumpers in the happy be-
yond.
The reason the police think the fall
was unpremeditated lies in the fact that
there was no attempt to initiate the div
ing Brodie- Maher didn't land in the
water. The point OF his departure from
the bridge Just borders the water edge
on the Manhattan side. So instead Of
creating a great splash he came tear
ing down into materials OF edges and
splinters representing n building con-
tractors shanty, which may or may not
have been a harder landing place than
the surface of water.
Maher thinks he did a couple Of skin
the cats on his air flight, but he is sure
his feet were coming first when he ripped
into the shanty. He struck beam or
two but went right on, ripping a hole
through the tar paper roof and banged
down between two iron uprights, from
which he rebounded sharply and finally
fell against the cement pavement on
which the shanty stood.
He lay in that position until watch
man happened around and found him.
The watchman assumed that some foul
play had been done and hurried or for

that Maher's cuts were really little more

We have collected three of
our most popular models to
meet the business woman's
needs.
We are told by woman who
has seen these dresSeS-that
they are the best frockS in
town for the price!
The skirts of these dresses
are a bit fuller than usual--so
that they can be worn shorter
as Paris dictates. Also they are
more comfortable for daily
wear.
Braid is used as an effective
trimming on collar, cuffs,
giIet or skirt, as the case may
be.
Two models come in sizes "a
to AZ. The third is an excellent
model for large women, as it
favors straight lines and in
dulges in a graceful ruffie on
each side of the skirt.
Colors are navy blue and
black.

We have also reduced prices on
dresses from our own stock to

BOYS WIT CAPTURES
CAR USED IN HOLDUP
Gets Number While Robbers
Work in Fathers Shop.

The fearlessness Of Frank Majdon, IL.
when q gang OF holdup men entered his
fathers restaurant at s17 East Seventy
fourth street, helped the police to make
quick arrests in the case yesterday. A
week ago an attempt wac made on the
elder Majdon's cash register receipts, and
the boy evidently felt used to being In
tho presence OF sunmen. Two OF the
men poked guns at his fathers head. at
the same time covering customers In the
place.
The boy edged toward the door and
was out in fash. He was so small and
went so quietly that he wasn't noticed
He saw an automobile at the curb and
took the number and the name OF the
make. Then he waited few feet away
The holdup men came out few mo-
ments later with $40. all they could get
their hands on, and hoped into the au-
tomobile. The boy and his father ran
to policeman with the story and an I'M
mediate alarm was sent out.
Twenty minutes later Patroiman James
Mathews, on duty In Central Park. left
his police box after being notified OF the
holdup. Travelling south on the west
drive at Sixty-second street he saw n
car with the number wanted. He COM
mandeered a passing automobile and
chased the fugitive car around Columbus
Circle. through Fifty ninth street TO
Tenth avenue.
Two men were arrested and a woman
and two men were held for questioning.

PRfNCETON'S DRIVE

900 for Endowment.

Princeton Universitys drive for sl4,-
100000 endowment fund is being quietly
conducted, but Is meeting with initial
success. Twenty-siX men have SUBJ
scribed S1.700.000 as a starter and there
are encouraging signs that the drive
will be pressed vigorously so as not to
lose momentum.
One point that has been emphasized
in the campaign is that Princetons fu-
ture depends upon her alumni and
friends. She Is virtually without any
endowment, her faculty is under paid
but intensely loyal and her preceptorial
system in jeopardy unless firmly en-
dowed. Princeton is the only institution
In the country having preceptorial sys-
TEN. A preceptor or tutor Is provided
for every group Of six or seven students,
so that they may be drilled In every
subject

On a Friday, early in the
morning, the squadron set sail
from Palos. On losing sight of
land their hearts failed them,
and at one time the mutinous

Notwithstanding their doubts.

various ways kept up the inter-

first discoverer of the long
looked for land "a doublet Of
velvet and a pension of thirty
crowns, which he was authorized
by Ferdinand and Isabella to
do"
On the nth of October they
were all awake all night, and
at two in the morning of the
twelfth gun was fired from
the Pinta at the moment one
of the sailors deserted the FIRST
sight of land, and the great
mystery of the ocean was re-
vealed on October the twelfth
by the sight of a great stretch
of land.
Columbus, in a rich dress
and with a drawn sword, went
off in little shallop to land,
knelt and kissed the ground
with tears of joy" and took pos

name of Queen Isabella.
Gathered about Columbus and
his staff were a group "of dusky
copper-colored Indians, partly
naked, beardless, with long
black hair floating on their
shoulders or bound up in tresses
around their heads"
On the 2Sth of October the
three little ships came in sight
of Cuba and the Island of His
PAMELA, now known as San
Domingo.
Soon after the Santa Maria
was wrecked by the unfaithful-
ness of the steersman, over

over the helm to boy while he
slept.
On the Pinta Columbus pro-
ceeded upon his home voyage

count of his voyage and dis

he entered the harbor of Palos.

the whole community celebrated
the success "of his enterprise
by a grand procession and a
public thanksgiving to God"
The honors paid to Columbus
by the people of Palos were the
harbingers of still higher hon.

Court of Spain.
The real grandeur of his dis
