| are some OF the mobiles possessed
by the members: Emil Press is
model railroader of considerable
note whose collection of cars has
been described in this space. War
ner E. Humphrey collects glass.
R. H. Millward has the famous COL
| lection of Millward miniatures, only
small part Of which has ever

his collection.
Henry c. Ransom breeds exotic
birds. He has a large collection
of them and is an authority on
the subject. John Clifford collects
firearms. Mrs. Robert A. Brown
is carrying on as photographer
of birds, which hobby was formerly
shared with her husband. She is
also using her knowledge of pho
Biography in war work, thus backing
up her husband in the Army. Win
ship l. Green is a coin collector,
although he insists that right now
he is working so hard that the only
hobby he has time for is rearing his
family.
Fred L. Lutes makes gardening
his hobby. In more peaceful days
he specialized on flowers. With our
entry in the war he changed to
vegetables and reports thai his
storeroom shelves are sagging under
the weight of home canned and
home grown foods. Read N. Calvert
has fine spoon collection and is
now gathering japanese war relics
as new hobby. William F. Carlin
is stamp and cover collector and
reports that the war is giving him
opportunity to secure some fine and
unusual covers. William B. Marks
is giving him opportunity to secure
some fine and unusual covers. Will
liam B. Marks has been experiment.
ing with the physical phenomena
of light and electricity. Now he is
adding the repair of radio sets to
his hobbies.
1t will be noted that many Of
these hobbies have a more or less
direct connection with the war ef-
fort. Few if any have remained
unchanged by it, but practically all
the lobbyists are carrying on in
some way and are obviously better
equipped for their daily jobs be-
cause of their avocational interests.
The Dollology Club announces a
change in its meeting place. Here
after meetings will be held at the
Dorchester House, 248O Sixteenth
street NV. They will still be on
the first Saturday in each month.
The November meeting of the
8-mm. Movie Club was interesting
but not too we'll attended. Because
so many members were absent the
election of officers was postponed
until December. The speaker an
nounced for November, G.. Albert,
was also unable to be present and
will present his talk in December.
1t has been called to our attention
that many people who read the
meeting notices given here may be
assuming that these meetings are
only open to members of the desig-
mated clubs. This is for the most
part untrue. The notices are usually
printed here in the hope that inter
ested members will see them
and 60 to the meetings.
This is particularly true of those
organizations so fortunate as to have
a large meeting place, usually in
some public edifice In every such
case it hoped that any one inter-
ested in the hobby represented will
attend the meeting Service men
and women are included in this in
vitation. Even though you are not a
lobbyist yourself, if the subject in
terests you 60 to the meeting
Maybe you'll be rewarded by discov-
ering hobby.
When the meeting is held in a
private home, it is only the space
limitation that might interfere with
the attendance of all interested.
