WORKERS FOR RED CROSS
CLOTHE 600 RUMANIANS
Children of Mountaineers, Recipi-
ents of Garments, "Evolve
Styles All Their own"

Recently a party of American Red
Cross women distributed garments to
500 mountaineers I'm Rumania. ma
tional headquarters of the Red Cross
announced today. After distributing
this clothing the women left for an
other station, but returned short
time afterward to open soup kitchen
and feeding station, and on their ar
rival at Petesti, where they had dis
tributed the clothing. they were
greeted by their benefclarles OF
week ago, clad in their new American
clothes.
TT was a wonderful transforma-
ton" said one of the Red Cross
workers. 1.-THE children wore the pin
azores as waists and the white under
wear as bloomers. The girls had
worked colored designs in the stock
ings and evolved a style all their own
out of the sweaters. Mountain flow
ers in their hair and about their
clothes completed the costume in
many cases."
The Red Cross reports that the
mountain Districts have suffered in
tensely from the war. For five years
they have been unable to obtain
clothing and very little food Ameri-
can distributions of food and cloth
ing. now under way, are big events
in the various towns and are cele-
brated in an appropriate manner. The
children streW flowers in the path of
the arriving American workers and
elaborate ceremonies precede the
presentations.
In Petesti the mountaineers re-
sponded to the presentations of cloth
ing by presenting very formally to
the Red Cross workers a basket con-
tanning two eggs. all that could be
obtained in the district.

Interprets Bill Differently.

I'VE are unable to put this inter-
probation on the bill Oh. K. $500
Section 3 of this bill states: That the
Secretary of Labor shall. Immediately
upon the passage of this act, deliver
possession of all houses built in the
District of Columbia under and by
virtue of said acts to the public
building commission created by the
-.I.y-fith Congress for such pur-
pes.s and uses as said public build
ing commission may decide.
The members of this public build
ing commission are Senators Reed
Smoot and c. A. Swanson, Congress
man Clark and yourself Inasmuch
as the abolition of the present hous-
ing corporation would vest the man
agement of the dormitories in the
public commission, according to this
bill. we do not feel that that COM
mission would be competent to ham
die SO difficult proposition. We.
of course. cannot believe. in view of
the present recognized housing con-
dition in Washington today and in
view of the prospect next winter,
with the proposed meeting of the
world labor parliament in Washing
ton and the league of nations. that
Your committee would agree with a
recent statement of Congressman
Clark that these buildings should be
turned into offices
Il sincerely trust that when your
subcommittee starts hearings on this
bill ample opportunity will be given
to all parties interested to be heard
on this important matter.
