' Talks of Pennsylvania Navy Relief, Work Miss Kane Talks at Red Cross e tJipE Canning Centers at Ardmore. Bryn Mawr and Wayne will be opened for yorK" on Thursday. This yenr the plan is To donate 10 per cent of each day's output to the use of soldiers and sailors, and this urely ought to arouse a Rood deal of en thusiasm among the families who have boys In the service. The women In char&o of the centers are hoping there will bo more Interest tnken In the work this year and that more women will offer their help; nd surely It Is a splendid service. Owners of small gardens and all vacant-lot garden ers will be glad to hear about the Market Day thnt Is to bo held at tho Canning Centers, although only members will have the privilege of selling In theso markets. It will bo a wonderful opportunity for them to get rid of surplus fruit and vegeta bles without waste. Another Idea that Is thrifty Is tho redeeming at flvo cents apiece of all glass-topped Jars returned to tho centers If they aro clean and In perfect condition. The canning work was quite uccessful last year. But It was only Just starting then and It will 'bo much more In teresting and businesslike this year, now that everything has been organized and put Into regular working condition. Mrs. Phlllppus Miller Is greatly interested J In these canning canters and does a great deal of work. The late Mrs. Charles Pen rose was a most active worker last summer. TITIRIAM KANE In her pink-and-whlte '- striped nurse's costume talked today at the Independence Square Auxiliary of the American Red Cross nt 608 Chestnut street She came in her pretty uniform and armed with her remarkable posters, 1 and believe me, It was an Interesting talk! T THINK I told you of the Orpheus Quar- tet's plan to sing "In a Persian Garden" on the 26th of June In tho Botanical Gar dens for the benefit of tho Pennsylvania Auxiliary of the Navy Relief Society. I had not heard much of that society and have asked a few questions about it. It's always so Interesting to me to know what the women are doing around about us to help win this war. 1 find the Navy Relief Society was incor porated in 1904 and that Admiral Dewey was Its president for several years before bis death. About three months ago the women of the navy colony here met at tho navy yard and reorganized the society for relief work in this vicinity. The principal object and .business of the society Is to collect funds and provide Im mediate relief for dependent relatives of officers or enlisted men of the navy and marine corps. , The society Is kept Informed by the sur geon general of tho navy of all deaths that occur. The Navy Department furnishes the address of "next of kin." If the rela tionship Is that of widow, orphan or mother this address Is forwarded to tho auxiliary of the Navy Relief Society, If ono exists ' In the vicinity, or tho family Is reached ' through one of the organized agencies al ways ready to co-operato with the Navy Relief Society, which Is tho officially rec ognized relief organization of the navy. The Investigation Is confidential and sys--temattc. Condolence of the society is tact fully extended, financial assistance rendered when necessary or employment secured. In fact, every .effort Is made to aid the j family to adjust itself to Its sad and new condition. . The cases are. all reported to a commlt- tee at headquarters of the society In Wash ington and all pensions paid direct to the beneficiaries until such time as the war risk insurance Is available, as that la neces sarily slow. DURING the first year of the war (1917) the navy w'as Increased from 72,000 men to 300,000. Nine hundred men gave up their lives for their country this last year. While we axe at war losses In man' and ships are inevitable and the Resources of the society must be enlarged to effectually carry on this hitherto successful work. The society la not asking Its friends to launch ,any new venture born of sentiment out of war conditions. It has beenfavor ably known and largely supported by the personnel of the navy and marine corps, but tho time now seems to have arrived . lor this interest to be extended to the civilian friends of the service, that they may co-operate by becoming members and help Jn assuming their share, of responsi bility In this worthy undertaking. The Massachusetts auxiliary raised $100, 000 last year and the New York auxiliary $20jp,000; and Pennsylvania is working hard 1 at'lt now.

' ARE you, too, knitting socks for "our .boys" JWell, SHE was, and this wis her very first attempt. l-You remember the first pair you ever made, don't you, and how; awfully proud you were to see how well they looked? And how superior you felt to ,the other members of the family, not one of whom could even puzzle out the directions you had' written on a huge, sheet- of paper and which you yourself skimmed over so, nonchalantly. Well, SHE was some little knitter. She had made sweaters AND sweaters; but, as you already know,- this was Her first pair Of socks in fact, 'twas her first sock. So often they would come upon her unawares and find her niumbllng "slip a stitch, knit . 1 next stitch," and wrinkling her forehead. A.'.? i mn.r fonrfilllv.

Sister knitted on and Mary, woefully neglecting her dusting, stood there con templating tho nwful contortions sho wen through every once In a while. Once she dropped a stitch and sighed dismally, though you know and I know sho was really having tho tlmo of her life. Finally Mary did burst -out sympathetically: "Is It hard, miss?" "Oh, NO, Mary," quoth Sister, In n bored and Indifferent tone. "Of course. It might be for you, since you've never knitted sweaters or anything llko thatr But I'll teach you how to mako socks some time If you'd llko to learn," she added magnani mously. And then oh, then THEN came the blow.

I always used to knit them when I was a little girl." And poor Sister, feeling muchly like a little girl heiself, though she's a few months past seventeen and quite old, you know, made as graceful a retreat as possi ble, though under the circumstances you can't blame her for banging tho door and refusing to give Mary any moie hats she didn't want for a while.

Mrs Louis B. Taylor, director of registra tion and manager of registration placements, has a corps of able assistants who, In listing the women of this city nnd their qualifica tions for emplojment, arc working efficiently In connection with the Federal Employment Bureau Already a largo number of women have been placed In useful positions through having been classified In tho tiles of tho serv ice bureau. Names of others are ready in case the calt should come. Miss Maria Slloam. nsslstant to Mrs. Lee; Is constantly busy Interviewing women who wish to give some kind of service to the Government aid seek suggestions as to the best means of approaching tho task. "it Is surprising," said Miss Slloam today, "hour many women In business wish to give porno of their leisure time to the Government without pay as a patriotic duty. Many have come here and registered their names to be called should they bo needed. Through the files, which differentiate between those .who give their services free and those who must have pay, we have been able to furnish stenographers and soclal-nervlce workers to the Government and to individual!) with great advantage. Wo have cards hero of thou sands of others nnd It Is our Intention to have the names and fliiallficatlons of all Philadelphia women on tecord, so that the Government may know Its woman strength as well as Its man sticngth during the war." The files show the cards of those who must have pay for their services; those who are willing to glVb time and effort without pay and those who will give their tlmo and work, receiving only. expense money In return. Two thousand names have been used In furnishing women forgjalarled positions for temporary war work. A hou-.e-to-house canvass Is being made In order to obtain registration cards for all women of Philadelphia. This, It Is hoped, will be completed in another month. Little trouble has been experienced In getting the women to register. A few have declined, fearing some obligation might bo entailed, but when It Is .explained that the signature carries no obligation the registrars find no trouble In securing tho names to be added to fho archives.

Little Miss Schener, WOMEN GIVE EFFICIENT ' AID IN DEFENSE WORK Philadelphia Committee of Na tional Council Has All hut 5 Completed Organization Tho Philadelphia women's committee of the Council for National Dcfenso Is now an almost completed nnd perfected organiza tion. It Is an oignulrdtloh of great slzo and breadth of scopn In war activities; and ono which, organized by women, bears witness to an unsuspected nnd extraordinary accuracy and perseverance In detailed work. Eleven departments, covering virtually every branch of women's war work, nre united under one bend, with ono general aim, which Is that of making every woman In the country, work for tho winning of the war either actively or passively These eleven activities nie food production, food conservation, home economics, women In In dustry, rhild welfare, education, health, recientlon. Llbeity Loan, foreign relief and leglstratlon Nearly all of these departments, except the leglstrntlon, of which Mrs. Louis B. Taylor Is director, nave moved from tho old head quarters at 1B07 Walnut street to the Finance Building. With every woman in the country pledged through this organization to give her serv ices to the nation a vast "hidden arm)" Is or ganized. This does not mean that women must actually give up their business In life and go Into nctivo war work. It means sim ply that every woman pledges that she will follow Government orders In the matter of food conservation and give as much of her time- as she can to some sort .of service It may bo merely caring for tho health and safety of her own children "I fi-el that tho cogs aro beginning to run pretty smoothly," raM Mrs. Louis Taylor vice chairman of the county committee of the Council for Xntlon.il Defense "For ex ample, when mi order comes from Washing ton It can be can led Into every house In the city" It Is Mrs. Taylor's belief that tho woman's committee will exist in form If not in name after tho war. concerning itself with the same work perhaps as It handles now. only adapted to reconstruction work.

"The United States army and navy have asked for 37.500 registered trained nurses by July 1, 1919, for the Care of wounded and sick soldiers and sailors," says the chairman of the committee. "This will take one-half of the present bkllled nursing .forces of the United States. The effect of this upn publlo health will be disastrous unless most strenu ous efforts are made to supply the needs of the civil population with Bkllled workers. "Although concerted effort Is being made by the Government to protect the vital pub lic health service, numbers of public health nufsos have volunteered for military service. The campaign for the protection of children and the extension ot public health nursing to rural areas are demanding large numbers of public health nurses. Child conservation and tuberculosis work In France are using them. A profession that never has been qversupplted Js meeting greater and greater demands every day.
