a better one tonight.
1t is expected that several thou
sand dollars will be realized at an
elaborate pageant depicting momen-
tous periods in the history of the
Salvation Army at the Sylvan Theater,
on the EIlipse, at o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The pageant will be given by Wash
ington children under the auspices of
the Municipal Fairgrounds Associa-
ton. The Marine Band will furnish
the music.
One of the big closing features of
the campaign will be the parade, in
uniform, of the Almas Temple patrol.
Collections will be taken up along the
line of march. They will carry along
with them a barrel, which I'VE expect
to fill said "Call-Me-Henry"- Lans-
burgh, who will be in charge of the
parade.

Solicitation of contributions Of en-
ployes in the War Department build

refused by SECRETARY of War Baker
yesterday. The Secretary said that
a general rule OF the department for

only exception that has been made
was that in the Liberty loan cam
paigns. Solicitors of the executive
committee of the campaign, however,
were permitted to solicit in other
Government buildings, it is said, and
realized considerable funds for the
drive.
Several wounded soldiers boosted
the campaign from an army truck
yesterday. Mrs. Alice Roach sang
MY DoUghnut Girl" and Lieut.. w. Z.
Severe, who fought with the Rain
bow division in France, told of his
experiences. The soldiers realized
quite a tidy sum for the fund.
Following an entertainment last
night at Quantico, the marines and
their friends contributed about $500,
which will be sent today to the COM
mittee.

pIavino blackboard.

Do you know what blackboard Is!
It's kind Of a game first played In
q primitive and mild sort Of fashion
by Rocky mountain goats and since
modernized and made difficult by the
American army. The apparatus on
which one plays blackboard is a mixed
breed contrivance, by dashboard out
Of Corduroy Road, to use the racing
vernacular. It Is made up Of narrow,
slippery strips of rounded wood laid
crosswise about two inches apart, and
is supposed to keep ones feet out OF
the mud. 1t does While playing duck
board ones feet are usually In the air.
It is called blackboard, suppose, be-
cause of some silly belief that duck
could walk 1t without falling. Even
airplanes flying at q height Of less
than 5000 feet have been seen to wig
gle and dip drunkenly while passing
above trench lines floored with duck
boards. And when 1t is laid upon the
surface of the earth and there are no
handy trench walls to help out-well,
it's lucky for Charley Chaplin that the
wide world didn't see me operate.
Nothing could ever again be funny to

EFFECT, OF. WAR. ON
WOMEN'S DRESS

With the signing of the armistice

blue suits. Y. NJ. c. A. workers, re-
called from the overseas corps, gov
eminent employees mustered out OF
service and thousands OF girls IN ih'i'
milton factories are now facing a new
period In women's dress. The war mas
changed the general trend of styles for
all women.
Comfort, with no unnecessary rurpe-
lows, has been the keynote of the war
workers uniform. Women In war
work discovered to their great Joy that
they did not have to do much thinking
about their cloths. Uncle Sam, the
Y. w. C. A., Y. NJ. G. A. and the Reh
Cross did their thinking for them, AMI
II was done SO well that 1t Is extremely
doubtful If the business women VIII
ever be suited with anything less prac-
teal.
Once having been used to pockets
everywhere in her skirt and In the
coat of her suit, no woman Will ever
again be satisfied with only the make
shift of hand bag. The war taught
women that pockets in their suits ana
dresses were Indispensable accessories
to comfort. A shirt waist buttoned TO
the throat, with soft collar and tie,
rather helped woman out of the habit
of wearing low cut waist IN business
office. AS for the girl who worked In
munitiOn factory, she has learned to
work with her hands and to wear over
alls. In all probability she will 60 on
with machine work and she will not 90
back to skirts while she works In a
shop.
Dame Fashion, with nearly all of her
creators In the trenches, has been
pretty much out of q job. But from
the war she has drawn wealth OF new
ideas for the things that women VIII
wear in 1919. She has put bit OF gold
braid here and frog there, stuck the
feather worn by popular regiment In
her bonnet and got her clothes on the
military lines Of soldiers uniform.
This is the first war that has ever
seen women in uniform. New and
stralghter lines and a more direct
simplicity in everything that women
wear will be the first outcome OF this
innovation In war time fashions.

Don't Tease Child.

Teasing has ruined the disposition
of many a child. The parents are not
likely to be guilty of such conduct, but
older children in the family, or some
other relative, may make the child's
life utterly miserable by constant teas
ing. A thoughtless adult, intending to
be playful, will keep a child struggling
for some object, almost allowing him
to get 1t over and over again, only to
thwart the child's purpose, and 80
causing a wearing irritation.
