get.Me.Not day in Washington, Octo.
Der Is, was voted by the executive
committee of the local department of
the Disabled American Veterans at
the Offices. In the Munsey Building,
last week.
George w. Phillips. past department
commander, who is director of the
campaign, reported encouraging re-
ports on the matter of volunteers to
sell flowers on the day set. The list
shows that members of the following
women's organizations are among
those who have promised to aid the
disabled men in the drive: Daughters
of the American Revolution, Eastern
Star, American War Mothers, Chris
tian Endeavor Union, EpWorth League,
Women's City Club, Women's Over.

eign Wars Auxiliary, National Patri-
otto Council, Reahabaha, Women's
Christian Temperance Union and sew
eral church organizations.
The executive committee approved
the city into districts, each of which
will be under the direction of one
woman, who will have an assistant, a
disabled man, who will assist in dis
tributing the flowers and place the
sellers at the best stations throughout
the city.
Among the communications read
at the meeting was letter from Rep.
resentative Royal G. johnson of South
Dakota, chairman of the veterans
committee of the House, who was a
co-author of the law governing the
Veterans Bureau. In part, the john
son letter said: Il indorse the drive in
every way. AS you know, the Disabled
American Veterans Is one of the three
organizations officially recognized by
the Government and by Congress. It's
work has been of great value to dis
abled veterans and, as chairman or
the committee, indorse your organi-
Zation and its work"
Somewhat similar letters from Presi-
dent Coolidge and Director Frank I.
Hines of the Veterans Bureau have
already been published.
Capt. Fred Kochli, commander of the
District of Columbia Department Of
the Disabled American Veterans, in
the name of the local section and the
national organization of the wars dis
abled, placed a wreath upon the grave
of Brig. Gen. Lloyd M. Brett, who was
buried at Arlington during the past
week. Representatives of both the ma
tional Disabled American Veterans
and the local department attended the
funeral of Gen. Brett, who, after the
armistice, devoted considerable of his
time in assisting in solving the prob
lens of the disabled general and his
men of the 80th Division in particular.
The executive committee of the
Washington Board of Trade at its
meeting last week approved o. the
work the Disabled American Veterans
is doing among the wars disabled of
this city. particularly the maintenance
of a liaison service to assist the dis
abled of Washington and their depend.

THE best thing that could happen
to painting" concluded Saint-Gaudens,
would be what has generally hap
pened to architecture-to eliminate
the names of painters. If you could
judge a picture as fine or bad, just on
it's merits, without knowing who
painted it, as you DO with Gimost any

Diving Without Hose.

HOSE for conducting air from the
surface to the diver under the
water has heretofore been consider
Ell Indispensable. An elaborate out
fit Of pumps operated either on land
or in boats was necessary to force
fresh air continuously through great
length Of hose to the man below the
surface. Now the inventive brain OF
man has conceived and put into sue
cessful operation an ingenious device
which viii probably in time do away
with the old apparatus for diving.
BY this method the diver carries on
his back two steel bottles containing
highly compressed oxygen. Another
cylinder contains chemicals for abb
s'lbin2 the carbonic acid eXhaled from
the lungs. A system of piping carries
all the impure air breathed out TO
chamber containing the absorbing
chemical In this compartment the
deadly carbonic acid gas is entirely
eliminated. A small amount of oxy-
sen, just enough to renew the air, is
added to the changed and regenerated
eXhalations and passed on to
compartment in the helmet, where 1t
can be inhaled through the nose or
mouth. BY this system the vitiated
air is continually being made over
into new.
1t ls thought this device will do
away with the accidents and some.

Bronze thimbles and spindles are to

be a strictly modern invention;
The Roman lady. however, lacked
one essential. She had no hair brush.
