last division of the parade. They were
headed by George Warren.
Following the parade mass meet

Spokesmen for the shipbuilders will
protest against the award of ship con
tracts to China and Japan and other
foreign builders demand for abandon
ment of plan for further cancellations
of existing contracts in American yards
and call upon Congress to appropriate
funds to carry out the present build =
ing program.
Unless additional funds are speedily
provided, amounting to nearly half
billion dollars. most of the country g

The hand embroidery on the gowns is
exquisite. However, embroidery does
not characterize the evening wares
any more than fur does. Some of the
best dresses are quite plain and in
that regard there is no fixed rule.
There is no rule in dress anyway this

what they were a year ago.

confessed to having stolen two sheets
and pillow case from an Indian
school. Many small contributions
come from persons who wish to make
reparation for having used cancelled
stamps for letters.
One contributor to this fund found
that he had made a mistake in his
reckoning. and in a subsequent letter
asked that the mistake be rectified. 1t
seems that he had brought a ring
from Paris and thought It to be very
valuable. When he arrived in port in
this country he placed on It valua-
ton that he was sure was much be-
low the actual value in order to escape
payment of a high duty.
Later his conscience troubled him
SO much that he felt compelled to
mako restitution and sent $500 to
the conscience fund Some time
afterward he took the ring to a
jeweler, who told him the pearl in 1t
was an imitation and that the ring
was really worth less than $500. So
he tried to induce the Government to
return the amount contributed to him.
The conscience fund" is presided
over by an officer in the Division OF
Public Moneys. All letters accom-
panying remittances are fled away.
and although the writer's name is
| very seldom given in the letter the
Treasury Department triep to ac-
knowledge receipt OF the money by
sending an account Of its receipt ia
the newspapers in the town from
which the money was sent.
One man who wished to make sure
that the receipt of the $4,000 he was
about to send to the Government would
be acknowledged tore the bills, making
that amount in half, and sent them IN
with the statement that the other hall
would come in as soon as the depart
ment acknowledged the receipt of the
FIRST half True to his word, the re-
naming fragments of the bills were
mailed as soon as the Federal ac'
acknowledgement reached him. OF course
these bills were as good as gold wher
they were pieced together. and thu

materially.

the sum of nearly half a million dol
lars since 1911, when the first contri-
button was received. The transres-
sions OF these contributors cover a
wide range of law breaking. There is
also a great variety in the amounts Of
the sums contributed. ranging from
2 cents to cover the cost of a post
age stamp filched from the Govern
ment to more than 31s.600 stolen by
evading customs duties.
Most Of the persons who send money
to this fund try to keep their identity
secret. Some Of them disguise their
handwriting or purposely misspell
words. Ali these precautions are un-
necessary, however, since the Treasury
officials hold all such communications
