MED a decree Of divorce to Mrs Emelie

earned, as their father contributed moth
ing to their support. During the trial

hypocrite. but admitted that in all prob
ability she had on several occasions.

tablished the counter-claim for separa-
ton as set up In his answer to the d.
vorce action. This suit also is dis
missed"

whom they benefit" said A. S. Barnes,
United States Commissioner on Living
Conditions at the gathering of the Com
munity Service Alliance, in the West

Instead of letting the big-hearted
wealthier folks work down into a com

for itself" he declared.

the High School in response to the invi.
tatlon of Mrs. Benjamin F. Richardson,
chairman of the West Philadelphia COM
mittee of the Community Service Al
lance. to learn something of the coun.
try-wde movement, the purpose of which
Is to continue and to extend the COM
mendable war activity of communities to
the field of civic welfare.
MIR. Barnes, who is the government
representative in this city of this work,
which has grown out of the welfare ac-
tivites of the war camp community
service. outlined the plan for neIghbor-
hood organization.
"ln Philadelphia you have 3S6 school
buildings. fourteen high schools, $50
parish houses. and forty service clubs
which will be looking for new work
as soon as all the boys are home" he
said. And all these places are potential
centers FOR unified neighborhood en-.
deavor Here properly organized neigh

OF health programs, recreational effort
child welfare, and local improvements
of all sorts. Already in this city there

The plan is to form social units IN
every city block. with a community head
! and a community executive board. and
, with delegates for the larger municipal
body which will decide on a genera
city program.

Any old clothes?

This time the cry doesn't come from
the 'raggedy man" or the secondhand
dealer, but from Southeastern Chapter
of the Red Cross in behalf of the stricken
countries of Europe.
The Red Cross is arranging to ship
and distribute, under its own auspices,
fifty shiploads OF used clothing. which
will go to the people who need it in the
countries outside the central powers.
Poland. Servia. Belgium and other OF the
smaller Allied countries will be benefited
The drive for old clothing opens here
today and continues Till April Is.
The allotment for the entire country
is 10000 tons. The Southeastern Chap
ter of the Red Cross Is to furnish $50
tons. All clothing will be shipped abroad
on the food ships of the European re-
lief administration. When a ship leaves
this country 1t is under orders to report
to Gibraltar or Falmouth for further or
ders. from which port it may be deliv-
cred to any one of various ports Thus
II is impossible for Red Cross TO accept
articles to be sent to a given country.
Donors of clothing are asked not to
specify that the things go to special
places but to give for the common good,
as all peoples in need are to be reached.
All Kinds Of Garments Needed
Every kind OF garment for all ages
and both sexes is urgently needed. In
addition, piece goods. light, warm canton
flannel and other kinds of cloth from
which to make garments for newborn
babies. ticking. sheeting and blankets
woolen goods and shoes of every size
are asked for. Scrap leather is needed
for repairing footwear. Since the clothes
will be subjected to the hardest kind of
wear, only garments of strong, durable
materials should be sent. It is useless
to offer garments OF fimsy material
The gifts should be practical. The gar
mcnts. however. need not be In perfect
condition. Many thousand destitute
women in the occupied regions are eager
TO earn a livelihood by repairing gift
clothing and making garments adapted
to needs with which they are familiar.
Here is a suggestive list of garments
most in demand:

dresses, high hats, straw hats, hat triry~

Persons having clothing that VIII be
