Tea Cancelled

Cancellation of the tea which had
been scheduled for tomorrow in
celebration of the 10th anniversary
of the Little Museum at Hillcrest
was announced today by Miss

Easter Egg Sale
In Mt. Rainier
All Proceeds From
Victory Baskets to
Go to Red Cross

A sale of victory Easter eggs and
baskets, made by members of a re-
Gently organized Senior Girl Scout
troop at Mount Rainier, got off to a
flying start yesterday for the benefit
of the American Red Cross War
Fund.
The victory eggs are In line with
the best patriotic food conservation
practices for they are made Of
empty shells dyed in various colors
and filled with confetti. Some of
the more elaborate eggs are painted
with cunning faces and a few even
have caps.
Housewives, who contributed the
shells, broke the eggs carefully at
one end so as not to spoil the shape.
Salvaged Material Used.
The foundations for the Easter
baskets are made of scrap materials,
with the finished product covered
with crepe paper. Such containers
as oatmeal and cheese boxes were
utilized by the girls as bases for the
baskets and even the wire for the
handles is salvaged material.
Similar Easter novelties are pop
ular along the Mexican border, &C
cording to the troop leader, Mrs.
Lott Taylor, who inspired the prof.
ect. Mrs. Taylor, who formerly
lived at Laredo, Tex, said that the
people there call the eggs
"cascerones."
The victory eggs and baskets are
on sale at the Mount Rainier Phar-
macy, 4007 Thirty fourth street, with
Girl Scouts in attendance.
The girls started working on the
articles the latter part of March
and by the time the sale opened

at from 40 to so cents each and the
eggs at Is cents dozen.
Collect Tin Cans.

principal efforts has been to collect
tin cans at Haywood Gardens.
An industrious group, they also
have decided to earn the money
they need for Scout expenses, such
as uniforms. Small fees charged for
looking after children in the neigh
borhood have been their main source
of income.

Soldiers to Get Wurdrobes
For Every Cline and Occasion.
Ensembles Include comoufIoeed Uniforms
For South Pocific, White for Londs Of Snow

even a WAAC. charming in her
uniform.
One Of the most interesting items
was the camouflaged uniform for
the men fighting in the jungles OF
the South Pacific. It was found
that the soldier or marine dressed
in the conventional khaki was a
sucker for Jap snipers-they could
spot him easily. The new uniform
is a vague, greenish color, spotted
with brown and other shadings Of
natural jungle foliage.
The figure wearing 1t had on over
his tin hat veil to keep out vora-
cious sand flies and other tropical
scourges. Within his bosom were
couple of pneumatic tubes, which,
If inflated, would enable him to
float over stretch of water If he
can't swim.
Col. Brady admitted, in the course
of the inspection, that there soon
would be no more white underwear
in the Army. This Is not, he ex-
planned, to cover up any deficiency
in laundering, but because white
can be seen by enemy flyers. The
new Army underwear is olive -drab.
So are the new handkerchiefs.
White for Snow Country.
On the other hand, there was one
dummy in the long row that wore
an outfit entirely Of white. But
this was an Arctic uniform, and, in
country Of perpetual snow, you
wouldn't have brown or green as
camouf1age. Underneath the white
exterior that looks like canvas, this
fellow had on q succession of fur
lined garments designed to repel
the most rigorous temperatures. His
cap came down over his face, leav-
ing only q slit for nose and eyes.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Johnny
Doughboy, who was lucky in the
last war If he had complete uni-
form and was apt to get stuck with
woclens in August and cottons in
January, is acquiring the wardrobe
of a debutante-a garment for every
climate and every occasion.
This was impressed on press
group which was conducted through
the great Philadelphia quartermas-
ter depot by Maj. Gen. c. L. Corbin,
acting Quartermaster General of
the Army. and Col. Robert c. Brady,
commanding ofacer of the depot.
With Americans fighting all over
the world and enduring every type
Of weather from the Arctic to the
tropical, the Quartermaster Corps
designed in a hurry outfits suitable
for numbing cold and whitening
heat, for seasons Of relentless rain
and for more temperate and less
emotional chimes. Not only this, but
the ONO military fashion experts
patterned uniforms suitable for
each branch of the complex service
Of 1913.
Today, most of these fighter en-
sembles are In production-some are
still in the experimental stage-and
they are going out to troops scat
