DONATIONS GROW

The number of tubercular children

Two more youngsters won today the

CARNATIONS and individuals aroused
by the plight of those left behind
when the camp opened last week at
half capacity because of lack of funds
SOL Contributed Today.
The contributions received today
ranging from 81 to SIS, amounted
to l0l and brought the total donated
50 far to $l.277, Mrs Ernest r. Grant
managing director Of the association
reported. When the thirteenth child
was taken to camp yesterday there
remained in the fund $40. making
$3.50 available today to finance the
care Of two more children.
The associations limited budget pro.
vided for only 60 children when the
health camp opened Even with the
contributions enabling Is more to re-
celve the camp treatment, there still
Is room for so children who can be
cared for only through additional do

child during the remaining seven
weeks Of the camp period.
Three of the contributions TODAY
were received by The Star and for

donors were Mrs. John Storrs Cotton

Miss Renere Godding, 5000 Sixteenth
street, IS, and Mrs. Ruth Hofstead
1881 North Danville street, Arlington
Va, 81.
Funds Lack Termed Tragic"
Mrs. Hofstead attached to her con-
tribution a clipping from The Star, in
which Mrs Grant described as tragic
the lack of funds that forced the camp
to open at only half capacity, and
wrote:
Il think it is a crime that such a
condition should exist in our city. ]

who would gladly join me In giving 81
or more toward this worthy cause
Surely there is some one who can
and will take charge and In some way
bring the matter to the attention of
individuals who will subscribe for the
amount necessary to send these chill
dren to the camp"
There still are nearly 300 children on
the associations waiting list, for
whom the Summer At the health camp
might mean the difference between
life and early death. They are suf-
fering from tuberculosis in the early
stages which can only be cured by
breaking the contact with advanced
cases of the disease in their homes,
and such rest, nourishment and medi-
cal care as provided at the camp.

No hint Of the proposal came be-

Democrat, Of Massachusetts,, said he
understood the editors would be asked
to conduct an aggressive campaign
on the necessity for property owners
to make improvements at this particu-
lar time and thus bring about the
employment Of many Thousands of
persons who are At present unem-
ployed"
Announcement of the conference

Roosevelt, q resident of Massachusetts,
might run for governor. but when he
arrived for today's session he checked
such talk with . light comment that
Il think We have = pretty good gov
ernor now, don't you?"
Anyway" he added, I'm 20 busy In
Washington that I have no time for
immediate political ambitions"
Roosevelt reiterated his Annoyance
that his every move and statement"
should be linked to political aspira-
tons.
Young Roosevelt made clear his
definite plan for absorption Of re-
lief workers into private industry was
mot . panacea" He said the con-
ference would be open and AL are
welcome" though invitations were
restricted because of lack of room.

The high-style costume to the left
in the illustration is fashioned Of
one of the very smart Lack crepes
printed in white with crown motif,
no doubt inspired by the coming
coronation. The modish square
shouldered black wool cape is lined
with the dress silk. The little black
straw pillbox has roses encrusted
in the crown with petals spattered
on the draped veil.
To the right, the print that fash
ions this model is black crepe
spaced with flowers in bright char
treuse yellow. Similar prints are
carried out in gorgeous multi-color.
The bodice and sleeves are draped
in accordance with latest style die
tates. The skirt is sunburst-pleated.
The tiny cap worn far back on the
head is last word millinery.
The more widely spaced the
smarter for prints, which gives zest
to designers to play up the idea
with originality so that one flower
cluster will position at the very
most effective spot on the bodice
while another remote bouquet will
find it's way to exactly the strategic
point it should to show off to best
advantage on the. skirt. Note the
lovely dress conferred in the group.
The very fragrance of violets is
caught in this gray silk crepe frock
with huge punches of violets scat
tered over the ground. A lovely
Easter corsage completes this vio-
let symphony. 1t is really quite the
thing to wear flowers, artificial or
natural, matching the flowers in the
silk print. Green straw braid with
cluster of violets makes the pert
hat and green suede gloves are
worn with it. If it's cold Easter
wear this lovely gown under your
gray Persian lamb coat.

COTTON LACES IN
FAVOR FOR EVENING
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Cotton laces have been popular
for couple of seasons past, but
most often these have been associ-
ated with the sports and daytime
frocks for summertime, and, in the
sturdy types of laces that suggest
fabrics. This season, however, they
are seen in great quantity and va
riety for evening, and are compel
ing in favoritism with the prints
and sheer fabrics. These cotton
laces for evening are the sheer and
crisp types, and are delightfully."-
novel and varied in their patterns.
They usually follow simple classic
lines, not too formal in cut, and
are especially nice for young girls.
They are most effective when worn
over rustling taffeta slips, and this
of course makes them the more de-
sirable to the debs and sub-debs.
