BOSTON GOES INTO
 WASHINGTON FIELD
By HOLLAND

New York, June 17-(SpeciaD. Accord Ing to reports from Boston one of the trust institutions of that city has boupht the control of large, perhaps the larg- est' bank in Washington. Heretofore, banking interests outside of Washington, nave Ventured to secure influential rela
 lcns with one or more Washington banks, and capital furnished by citizen or New York established a trust com : pany Tn Washington. But there is no .s' eeoru mace heretofore of any attempt by Boston banking capital to secure con
 tfol Of a banking institution at Washing ton' Without explanation this action would seem like long jump and in fact an unusual, even exceptional one for a Boston institution to take. But the re- adjustments in business. industry and commerce. which are now in &ogress seem to have favorably affected Boston banking interests, the managers there perceiving opportunities which until these oays Of readjustments did not exist.
 one or the explanations given for the purchase of the controlling interest in an influential Washington bank by a Boston institution has reference to the financing of the cotton yield of the south. The presumption is that the Bos- ton bank which has taken this step be-
  change drawn against shipments of cot ton may conveniently, and perhaps econ omically, be handled by a Washington bank. Having secured exchange in large amount. and thereby established new f. nancial relations with the nearby cotton industry of the south, the exchange can then be sent over to the Boston insti- tuition.
 This would look like an attempt to gain some of the business in cotton exchange which has heretofore been so largely held by New York banks. When Max May was dealing in foreign exchange for one of the largest trust institutions of the world, the Guaranty of New York, he probably bought and handled for his corporation a larger amount of cotton bills than were dealt in by any other banking institution in the United States In one year, according to fairly credible reports, MT. May handled approximately two-thirds of all the bills drawn against shipments of cotton from the south
 Whatever the exact amount of these dealings was in one year, they were acknowledged by banking authorities to have been the largest at that time which were dealt in by any American bank

WHEN THE SMALL BOYS SICK
 ABE,D

When he is, unless he's very i'll, he is annoyed and annoying just simply because his active little self must lie listlessIy there and wait for the hours to pass him on to health.
 Now here is good way to amuse him. Of white cardboard cut a large circle. Give it a bun eye center and mark it as 100. Mark circles outside it as 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10. Then give him some rubber balls, each on n elastic Cor a large cork stopper), such as come in olive bottles, fastened to a string would do), and let him see how many times he will have to throw before he gets the high score which some one may suggest. Or he might say that if he gets such and such a score in certain number of trials, then he has won the game. If h e fails to get them, then Jack has won the game. Having the ball fastened to a string of some sort makes it always come back to him after throwing at the targets.

Now that all hlouses are striving g so hard to be different from all other hlouses, it is difficult to find one that really succeeds. For no longer is the overblouse as such a ve~y decided novelty; it's beginning to be an ac- cepted fact
 But here, tho, is an overbIouse with a distinctly different flavor. That may be due to the Egyptian influence, but whatever it be due to, the model stands apart from most other bIouses of the "over'' type.
 Nor does it stand so far apart that it takes an artist to reproduce it sue cessfuIIy. If you can handle the average kimono-sleeved blouse with peplum attached you ought to experf- ence no peculiar Antiquities with the making of this. Alteration of the conventional pattern will consist in emitting most of the front and fill ing in with a gathered vestee. Then that front sash end may be a simple addition to the girdIe line of the blouse.
 Fancy the very oriental little thing expressed in water green Georgette, bound with satin of a deeper green and treated to wool embroidery in terra cotta. Q dash of orange and a dab of purple, and, after all that top ping off a black satin accordeon pIeated skirt.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Noman's power in America is well illustrated by the thousands of women who entered almost every line of bus mess to replace men who were draft ed during the war. Health proved the.r strongest asset. Many women, however, developed weak, nervous conditions and could not stand the strain of business life. Such women shouid remember there is one tried and true remedy in Lydia E. Pink nam.

KINCSBURY TO HANDLE DRIVE
 FOR ORPHANS

It was announced today that Fred erick J. Ktngsbury, president and general manager of the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, had accepted the chair manship of the committee handling the conducted in the city all next the drive to be conducted in the city all next week for $15, 0G0 to relieve the orphans in Poland. With MT. Kings bury directing the work of the or sanitation it is expected that excel lent results will be developed
 The drive is for $15,0O0 to relieve the misery and suffering among the 100000 orphans who are without food or clothing. Dr. Rudolf Stawo- wczyk of this city, who has just re- turned from Poland, reports the gravest and most serious problem is the chudren's relief work in Poland, and the fact which has been called to his attention with the greatest in- siStence from all parts of the country is the lack of clothing for the chiI- dren. Only a few have shoes and their clothing is so scant that mor- tality from exposure this winter is bound to be very high.
 The shortage of food is another se- riOus problem confronting the new born republic. According to the plan of child feeding each child receives a c'lily fixed ration compound as fol- lows: Sixty grams flour; 30 grams condensed milk; 20 grams rice: 20 grams peas; 15 grams fats; 10 grams sugar; , grams cocoa. This perm it's the giving of one substantial meal daily and the foodstuffs which are given in this meal cost approximately cents, making a total of $1.SO per month per cFJi.
 In order to raise money for this re- lief work the Polish National commit tee is carrying out a drive all over the country. This Children's relief work will appeal to Bridgeporters in view of the fact every cent put into it goes directly to the children in the form Of foodstuffs or clothing, and certainly no undertaking could draw greater sympathy or support. The giving of money to this fund is not charity which in any way demoral- izes or makes for the future depend ence of the people which it serves in the fact that it aids children who are entitled to the support of society. In building up health and strength in these impoverished children it is not only a humanitarian undertaking but a great resource is being conserved for the Polish nation whose coming generation is thus rendered strong and more fit.

DRIVE FOR WORKERS
 IMPORTANT FEATURE

In the every-member canvass con- ducted by the united Episcopal churches of this city next Sunday simultaneously with the parishes al over the country, every Ep:scopalian will be asked to make a pledge of in. terest and service.
 An effort is being made in this campaign to prove to the church membership that giving financial SUD- port is not enough. If the members give nothing but money, there will be no work done from lack of persons to do it, and the money would be use- less.
 A radical new feature in Sundays canvass will be the presentation to each person visited of an Interest and Service Pledge Card" in which 3 printed a list of 8 different forms ot service which the 1aitv may nerf9rm ahd each member will be asked to study hat list and check those forms in which he or she is at present serv- ing or will take into consideration.
