The two auxiliary units of the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter. American

man, reports the work has been sat
isfactory to officials of the hospital
and the workers have received COM
mendation of the District Chapter
The Church of the Covenant unit
last week sent an unusual assort-
ment" of socks and other knitted
articles to the headquarters of the
chapter. The chapter is now distrib-
uting them among the Walter Reed,
st. Elizabeths and Mount Alto hos
pitfalls.
More jams were sent to the head
quarters of the chapter this week
and the larder was temporarily re-
plenished to the degree that the
chapter was able to supply the calls
for sweets" by the hospitals and
centers. Fresh fruit going to waste
in and around Washington would be
acceptable by the chapter, as the va
rious units engaged in this work put
up preserves periodically. If card

District Chapter members of the sew
eral auxiliary units will call for
jams, fruit or any other contribu

WHERE "GOLDEN" SILENCE
WOULD HAVE PROFITED.
The book of Proverbs has several
sayings about the value of silence,
setting forth that while the tongue is
a most valuable instrument. it also
gets many people into trouble.
Nor is the admonition meant for
men alone, or women alone. or even
"grown-ups" alone, for the children
often might heed the precept with
profit.
Especially profit to their elders.
