ART DEPARTMENT
EXHIBIT.
MISS BESSIE ROBERTS AND MISS GRACE
WILLIAMS HAVE EXCELLENT EXHIBITS
MISS STEWART JUDGE.

What was probably the most inter-
esting phase of the County Exhibit,
was the art exhibit, staged in the
County Agents Office. The large we'll
lighted room was lovely background
for the exhibit. Two sides of the room
were taken up by the exhibit loaned
by the Maryland Institute. Miss Edith
Hoyt Stewart, who has charge of the
exhibit, was present on both Thurs
day and Friday, to explain the exhibit,
and to give short talks on "Art in the
Home" The other half of the room,
and the tables, was occupied by the
local exhibit, contributions from yari-
Gus local artists. One of the most in
teresting features was the work in
Arts and Crafts. The article which at
tracted most attention was a lamp.

ment shade. made from will found in

from ,honeysuckle, and one from
crepe paper. There were also some
beautiful trays on exhibit. A beauti-
full one of hammered brass, which was
given first prize in metal work, and
carved wooden tray, were made by
Herman Schaffer.
In this room on Friday, Miss Ola
Day gave one of her interesting talks,
and demonstrations, on how to test
various fabrics. She urged the women
to back the F'Truth in Fabric" Act,
bill which will be brought up In the
next session of Congress. This act re-
uuires the manufacturer to print on
every bolt of cloth its composition.
Women will then know whether or not
they are getting their moneys worth
for they will then know just how much
wool or linen they are receiving.

Will You Help?

We call attention TO the appeal for
Near East Relief which appears in our
advertising columns this week. Here is
a cause worthy of the support of every
citizen. 1t appealed to some last year
so that the highest individual gift
from this county was s100, while the
highest Sunday school gift was $161.
other liberal gifts were numerous. At
least one contributor has given month
ly, so that the total of his contribu-
tions would be more than any of these.
But many gave nothing. Nearly half the
among the contributors. Will you help
this year? This is a continuous work,
carried on through the year, and it
must continue until conditions in the
Near East make it possible for these
people to support themselves. We can
hardly form an idea of the exetnt of
the suffering through which these un-
fortunates have passed, and of the
helplessness that still exists.

W. C. 7. U. MEETING
BACK OF TRUTH IN FABRIC LAW" AND
"MATERNITY AND INFANCY" WHICH
ARE TO COME UP IN CONGRESS
MRS. D. R. GEIMAN WAS PLACE OF
GATHERING.

The members Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union held an
important and interesting meeting at
the home of Mrs. David Geiman, Fri
day afternoon, November 26th. The
meeting was opened by singing Ameri-
ca, led by Mrs. Geiman and Miss Mar
jorie Armacost. Mrs. H. H. Harbaugh
gave the Bible lesson, the 25th psalm.
In the absence of the Secretary, Mrs.
Edward Little was named to take her
place. The treasurer's report showed
much work done, many bills paid, and
very little money in the treasury and
many financial obligations yet to be
met. Mrs. Arthur Day was asked to
tell the ladies about the splendid Sab
bath Observance Meeting at the M. E.
Church, November 2i, and especially
tell them of the very pratical address
given at that time by Mrs. Edward
Bixler, of New Windsor. Mrs. Luther
Bare gave a full report of confer
ence at the States Attorneys Office,
between three of the members of the
w. c. T. U. and the States Attorney.
Two bills to come before Congress at
its session in December were eX-
planned by the president and after
some discussion, by the ladies. the
secretary was instructed to write to
our representatives in Washington,
asking them to vote favorably for both
bills. The bills are the French-Capper
bill, or the Truth in Fabric Law"
which requires manufacturers to
stamp plainly the percentage of vlr-
gin wool, shody, etc, on all manufac-
tured goods. The other is the Shep-
pard-Towner bill for the protection of
Maternity and Infancy" This bill
provides for instruction in the hygi-
enc of maternity and infancy, and
the household arts essential to the
well-being of mother and child. 1t
provides for consultation centerS and
medical and nursing care for mother
| and infant at home or at hospital.
There are % 900 mothers die annually
/ in childbirth and $4,000 babies die
II each year in America before they
reach the age of one year. These bills
are exceedingly important, and every
! woman in Maryland should write,
/ phone, or telegraph the two Senators
/ of our State, and the representatives
! in Congress from her district, asking
their support of the bills. At this time
Mrs. Edward Little and Miss Marjorie
IArmacost sang duet. which was en-
Enthusiastically received by the ladies.
The meeting was then given to Miss
Carrie Green, Baltimore, State Super
! fntendent of work among children to
lead chaste, sober lives, and to prop
erly care for their bodies, so each one
made herself committee to look out
for suitable room for meeting place
for Loyal Temperance Legion, to De
organized in the very near future. An
invitation to hold the December meet
ing at the home of Mrs. ]. T. Erb, was
accepted, after which the society adj
! journed.
