RECRUITS RUSH
To JOIN ARMY
Of FORESTRY
Restrictions Lifted, Many Now
In Ranks; Three Trucks
Off for Fl. Washington

Since restrictions were lifted,
President Roosevelt's Forest Army
is being recruited at double rate.
Capt. James p. Wharton, in
command of recruiting here, had
signed up more men this forenoon
than in the entire first three days
of the enlistment.
100 Are Expected
At 2 o'clock this afternoon
three big Army trucks, loaded
with recruits, left for the Army
College wharf, where the men
took the boat for Fort Washing
ton.
BY the end Of the day it is ex-
pected that more than 100 men
will have enlisted.
Fort Humphreys, Virginia, has
been ordered to turn over to the
forest army the old wooden bar
racks used each summer by the
Reserve Officers Training Corps.
BY doing this, $50 men may be
accommodated at Fort Hum
phreys instead Of the 800 that
were to be provided for under the
original plan.
Individual MeSseS
While the Army will take care
of the forestry men, the two
armies will have individual
messeS-and the contrast between
the regular army and the Forest
Army is this:
The Emergency Conservation
Corps, which is the technical
name for the Forest Army, will
spend approximately 54 cents
q day to feed each man, while
the Regular Army feeds each
enlisted man for % cents a day.
When the foresters become
more experienced in handling
their mess problems it is believed
they, too, will curtail the ex-
pense Of feeding the boys-and
still keep them well fed.

FARLEY To CUT
S125,000,000

Postmaster General Farley
hopes to cut expenses in his de-
partment by $125,000,000 during
the coming year. but the manner
in which this will be accomplished
has not yet been made clear.
There is expected to be q
slightly greater deficit in the: de-
partment than the estimated
amount Of saving. but Farley be-
lieves this can be overcome by in
creasing postal business. He says
the reductions will be made by
cutting out unnecessary jobs.
These, it is understood, will be
in the field, rather than in Wash
ington.
Two-cent local postage is under
consideration, as we'll as a plan to
discontinue examinations for first
and Second-clasS postmaSterships.
Southern. Congressman generally
want examinations retained, but
Northern members are opposed to
them, because they do not expect
many applicants.

BENEFIT SERIES
IS CONCLUDED

With regret, we record that
the series of excellent concerts
sponsored by the Ten O'Clock
Club for the benefit of needy
local musicians is concluded.
The high standard set in the
five previous recitals was main
tanned in the final program pre-
sented at the Washington Club
last night by Helen Heinl, pianist,
and Helen Turley, contralto, both
Washington artists.
The evening was dedicated to
the Edward Mcdowell colony.
Mrs, Heinl, herself a pupil Of the
American Debussy," as some call
him, gave beautiful readings of
some of his best known works.
Especially noteworthy was the
Keltic sonata.
Miss Turley sang an aria from
Max Bruch'S "OdySSeus" and an
interesting group of unusual
songs. She blends a gracious
personality with sound musician
ship.
Congratulatents to the many
leading local musicians who have
made these six distinctive pro-
grams a success, to Helen Fetter

which added to their enjoyment
and to the enterprising Ten

them, G. F.. G.

death from the seventh floor Of
the Blackstone Hotel, 1000 block
Seventeenth st. N. W., late last
night.
COrOner's Statement
Following his investigation,
Acting Coroner Macdonald said:
"There is every indication
chat the fall was accidental.
The two windows in his room
were open, and it is likely that
he walked over to get some air,
being i'll, became dizzy and fell.
"The fact that he had been
drinking and had gone without
food for at least two days
would indicate that this took
place. Also we searched the
EOOm but were unable to find
any notes or indications that
he had planned to end his life"
Captain King who entered the
Army during the World War and
served overseas, had been stationed
ct Langley Field as test pilot re-

Rears old is survived by his

More news comes in day by
day about sheer wool dresses.
They're worn for all times Of
day in the South, they're worn
here for every conceivable occa-
: sion, and they are predicted for
special favor in the spring.
Women are buying sheer woods
in light colors to wear under
dark coats now, and to wear
without coats when the weather
gets warm. Manufacturers de-
signed these dresses for South
ern wear, but after one look at
them, smart society decided they
were just what is needed for
right now, so they're just as
popular to wear in washington
during January and February
as they are for the Southland.
Fascinating COlOrs
Banana, biscuit, caramel, nat
ural caSha, pale pinky shades,
and the Softest blues and greens
are some of the delectable
colors that are used. With
them you will find accent Of
dark brown or navy, and some
times a brilliant orange or blue.
The materials include wool
crepes woven just like a rough
silk crepe, caSha that is sheer
as a georgette, q few materials
with angora or rabbits hair for
extra SoftneSS, and novelty
weaveS, always soft and sheer.

play would have been over.

and last chance to alter what
happened. He might have led
either a club or trump. In
