"WHITE ELEPHANT" SALES
NOW THE RAGE IN LONDON
Mayfair Inaugurates Annual Dis
tribution of Unwanted Clothing,
Household Articles and Relics.


LONDON, March 26.-"White ele-
plant" sales, at which fashionable
Mayfair disposes of its unwanted cloth
ing and household articles, have be-
come the rage with the approach of
Spring.
The biggest sale yet held was at
Halkyn House, lent by Earl Beau
champ. Society folk contributed old
furniture, silver, lace and jewels, and
went to see and to buy what their
neighbors had to offer. There was
much mystery about goods, as they
were not labeled, and this aroused
considerable speculation as to former
owners.
One end of Earl Beauchamp's spa
cious drawing room for the time Of the
sale took on the appearance of Petit
coat lane, in London's East End.
There were Victorian relics of fans,
brio a -brac. purses, fragments of old
lace, ivory chessmen with arms and
legs missing, wax flowers, wool mats,
screens, pictures with sentimental ap-
peal, embroidered covers, tea cosies
and worries, also much silver, bras
and copper. The objection OF servants
to the task of polishing was given as
the reason for the unusually large
amount of silver and metal offered.

GERMANY'S ACCIDENTAL
DEATHS SHOW DECLINE
Decrease in Fatalities From ALI
Causes Noted After New
Safety Drives.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 26-Though safety
first drives in Germany are of recent
origin, accidental deaths from all
causes have declined 10 per cent
since before the war, despite increased
automobile traffic.
The annual deaths from accidents
in Prussia have decreased from 49,
900 in 1913 to $4,000, or deaths
per 10000 population. The most
striking decrease was registered in
aviation accidents. The fatalities
dropped from 70 in 1913 to 8, of
which not a single one was a pas
senger in a commercial plane Of the
German Air Service.
Industrial accidents accounted for
more than so per cent of the total;
25 per cent were traffic accident
deaths, mostly children under and
adults over 20, and the remaining 25
per cent was scattered among other
causes.

.FAVORS BENEFITS
FOR F|REF|GHTERS
Virginia Senate Passes Bill
to Reimburse Injured
Volunteers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, March 26.---The
bill to provide relief for volunteer fire
men disabled while fighting fires in
Arlington. Fairfax and Prince Will
liam Counties or in Alexandria was
passed yesterday by the State Senate.
1t was sent today to the House and
referred to the committee on coun-
ties, cities and towns. It's enactment
by Tuesday is forecast by State Sena-
tor Frank l.. Ball of Arlington County,
sponsor of the measure.
Senator Balls county budget amend
ment, making 1t compulsory for coun-
ties to prepare detailed budgets and
financial statements every year, un-
der the direction of the State budget
director, was reported to the Senate
yesterday and placed on the calendar
for action early next week.
Death Benefit Provided.
The firemen's bill would give to
volunteer firefighters the same com
pensation in event of injury in line
of duty as is now accorded salaried
firemen. Families of volunteers killed
in action would receive from the
county or city the sum of $4,000. or,
if permanently disabled. the fireman
would be given that amount in weekly
installments. Less seriously injured
firemen would get $50 week while
incapacitated, with free medical and
hospital services.
The budget bill would amend exist
ing law so as to require the board of
supervisors of county to prepare an
nual budgets under supervision of the
State and to publish annually an item
lied and classified statement Of all
proposed expenditures.
Asked Semi-Annual Reports.
The Arlington County Civic Fedora
ton had requested the county repre-
sentatives at the capitol to recommend
semi annual statements. Delegate
Charles r. Jesse. in reply, has written
the federation that his present feeling
is that publication of the annual state
ment is all that should be required.
"This is what is done in the cities
of the commonwealth he said, and
it is the practice with most business
institutions. ADULTS are made but
once a year, and when they are made
the statements should be published.
The publication of these statements
is a source of revenue to the county
papers, and am not surprised at the
opposition from that direction"
