 After she promised Mayor James M. Curley last week to share the let proceeds with the jobless 1t be- gan to appear as though the free will offerings would not even cover the expenses, estimated at $2,600 daily.
 Last night at Boston Garden, however, the evangelist preached to the biggest audience to date approximately 18,000 and the amount of the collection, though not announced, was understood to be the largest since the revival opened. Some would be available for the unemployed. Aimee last night distribute denvelopes for a "love offering" suggesting that
 Yesterday noon Aimee and her current husband, David Hutton, were luncheon guests of a dozen Harvard students at Hotel Lenox. The Harvard students, who with held their names, had planned to dine Aimee at Dunster House. a new Harvard dormitory, but Re- gent Wallace Luce reminded them that women visitors were admitted to Dunster only on Saturdays and Sundays.
 The students questioned Aimee about her -Four Square Gospel" One asked if "Great personalities like Roosevelt, Socrates or Goethe | couldn't be put across in the same way as Christ"

 It is understood on reliable au- thority to-day MT Hoover informed Adams that arguments in behalf tf the navy's position appear in the press too frequently to believe the admirals are not inspiring them The presidents position Is said to be that Adams admirals are seek ing to create public sentiment un- favorable to the rigid economies M, Hoover has in mind.
 MT Hoover and Adams have not seen things eye to eye for some time, leading to reports that Adams would resign. Adams steadfastly has denied the reports and MT Hoover publicly has indicated his confidence in Adams. The latest denial from Adams came as recent ly as last week.
 However, friends of the two pre- dicted last December that sooner or later they would come to a part ing of the ways.
 To the admirals MT Hoover's or ders for slash of $61,0O0,000 in the 1892 navy budget meant noth- ing less than impairment of the ef- ficiency of what they consider to be the first arm of defense. To MT Hoover, it looked as if the navy in resisting his efforts to make the cut has inspired stories that the president might ruin the navy MT Hoover's feelings in the mat ctr are very strong. It has been indicated officially ne might go to the country in an appeal for the right of the president to fix the expenses of his own administration. The presidential attitude became known after Adams submitted a budget calling for $401.000,000 next year. Mir Hoover ordered a cut to $34O,O00.00. Expenses this year are $360, ,000.00

Geneva, Oct 16-(UP)-Aristide Briand ruled as president of the league of nations council to-day to invite United States participa- tion in the councils Manchurian discussion, despite Japan's objec- tions, and dispatched an invitation to Washington.
 League circles hoped that Prem tiss Gilbert, United States consult general at Geneva, would be able to take part in the council session be- ginning at D. m. to-ray.
 Briand's invitation to the United Staets expressed the opinion that the question concerned in- volved the Kellogg pact and the league of nations covenent.
 "The opinion is well founded, since article two of the pact pro- vides for only peaceful settlement of disputes" he said.
 "The United States is one of the proponents and also one of the foremost signatories of the pact. Therefore the United States. may be regarded as especially inter- ested in ensuring Pacific settle- ment of disputes"
 "But the moment has arrived when the good will and the inten- tions of conciliation of all coun- cillors must be demonstrated. We are determined to preserve peace, which is the basis of the league.

 The newly found element is an insoluble solid and can not be isol- ated because of its inf1ammability. If the little now held were isolated it probably would burn up.

resign from the League or other wise act on the League of Nations decision to invite American partici- patton in Manchurian peace nego- tiations.
 It was learned that the govern ment was instructing the Japanese delegate at Geneva, Kenkichi To- shizawa, to insist that the council carefully consider the legality Of a majority vote action, as against unanimity in inviting United States participation.
 Prince Saionji was reported re- turning to Tokio shortly from his winter home at Kyoto in order to be near the throne during the criti- cal situation.
 The cabinet could reconsider the government stand taken when Kenkicfli Yoshizawa was instruct ed to oppose American particlpa-- tion at the council meeting at Geneva. Or it could contest the legal and constitutional rights or the League to invite a non-league member to join its discussions.
 The cabinet was said to be wait ing information from Washington which would indicate if the United States would accept the invitation over Japanese opposition.
 While the cabinet was in session. a government spokesman denied any possibility of war between China and Japan.
 There was no definite indication that Japan planned to withdraw from the council. or from the League, following her rebuff al Geneva.

AS you already know, Billy Mink
sometimes is possessed of what is known
as the wanderfoot. This means that he
delights in making long journeys, just
wandering about from place to place,
seeing new sights and visiting places he
has never visited before, sleeping where
he chances to find a good place at the
time he feels sleepy and with not a
care on his mind save the one care that
all the little people of the Green For
est and the Green Meadows always
have-the eternal watchfulness for enc
mics.
Billy was exploring the country
around the foot of the Great Mountain.
1t seemed to him a very great distance
from his home along the Laughing
Brook on Farmer Browns farm, for
Billy Mink is small person, and the
smaller you are the greater distances
seem. 1t really was quite a distance,
for Billy travels fast when he is on the
move. He had explored what was to
him a new brook. He didn't like that
brook There were no trout in 1t, but
also there were dreadful steel traps, and
Billy didn't what to be where he might
accidentally step in one of these, so he
had left the brook TO explore the coun-
try along the edge of the woods at the
foot of the Great Mountain.
1T Is good country for mice" said
Bill" talking to himself. There ought
to be good hunting about here. Ha!

Blouse Trimmed With DrawnwOrk
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Whatever design you follow, the basis
Of the work will consist of fine hem
stitching. First the threads will have
to be drawn carefully, and for this
work you should use a small pair of
sharp pointed scissors and q long needle
with a fine point. After you have
drawn the threads, thread a fine needle
with fine silk to match the crepe de
chine Then work with a simple hem
stitch along the material where the
threads have been drawn, taking up
three or four threads of the material
as shown in the first diagram. Then
draw up the silk and pass the needle
under the same group OF fabric threads
and through the material as shown in
the second sketch. Continue until the
line has been finished on one side of
the space from which threads have
been drawn and then work on the OPP
posite side of each space, taking up the
same group of threads of the material
each time to give ladderlike arrange
ment.
Usually the drawnwork consists of
nothing more than this sort of work
done in row of straight or crossing
lines. The threads of the crepe de
chine do not pull out quite so easily as
do those of linen, but with patience
you will have no difficulty in doing the
work neatly and accurately.

This will give you legs and arms as

as described above.
Cut circle of cardboard and cover
it with silk, or rayon textile. Sew
straight piece of the textile around
the edge and stuff the container with
wool, hair or absorbent cotton. Draw
the top of the straight strip together
and you will have a pincuShion. Sew
the dolls WaiStline to this top. Make
full skirt of the textile and sew
three ruffleS of the same material onto
it to form TERED rutfled skirt. Ribbon
ruffieS are suggested.
so that the dainty shoes peep from

that they are properly positioned in
relation to the dolls body. Stick
plenty of pins of different sizes into

or appear to sit, on the dressing table
If regulation doll is used. a waist will
have to be made as well as a skirt.
No proportions are given, for they must
accord with the size of the doll used
She should be so small that she is a
dainty accessory. A doll requiring a
skirt more than four inches long is too
large.
