The contents of each bag 'are certainly complete, for each one holds a writing tablet and pencil, a khaki hand kerchief, a package of safety pins, tooth brush and cream, pocket comb, bath towel and soap, chewing gum, shoestrings, play ing cards and even some "smokes" when they are donated. The object of the service star commit te Is to see that every drafted man in Philadelphia receives the proper "send- I oft" from his own district and also that ajie leaves the city with all the necessailes L of camp life. Each man receives a corafoit Kit and sweater and socks ana when the committee is unable to provide the knitted articles to all of the men In any dlstilct the American Red Cross supplies that pait of the outfit. All the work of the service etar committee Is done In entire co operation with the heads of tho fifty-one diaft board districts. In order to ralso funds to carry on the work of this committee a saje of discarded, bags, shoes and hats will be held at 1332 Walnut street today, tomorrow and 'Wed nesday, from 9 o'clock until 5. "There will also be a table containing other miscella neous articles which have been donated. THE service star committee is endeav oring to form auxiliaries in each of the fifty-one draft boaid districts, so that each section of the city will be .able to cai e for Its own men. Three of these auxiliaries are now organized and others are just being formed. The money which Is col lected for this work Is taken to headquar ters, at 1338 "Walnut streeU where all sup plies are bought lifvery large quantities and at greatly reduced prices. One of the most active of the auxlllai les Is located In District No. 1, at Third and Dickinson streets, under the chairmanship of Mrs. "William F. Voelcker. This section lecently collected $13 for the men leaving. from their own district, and $5 of this amount was. in pennies! Each contribu tion represented the personal sacrifice of Kome individual and one dime was the of fering of two little boys, who denied them selves the delight of seeing Chaille Chap lin at the "movies" In order that they might be able to give something to the sol diers.

Philadelphia can boast of what is I, XX bel believed to be the only exclusively men's class in America engaged in the sort of war work that is carried on by the I 5, Emergency Aid Society of this city. t It is known as the Italian Section of the Emergency Aid, is headed by Mrs. Irma r Hering Evans, of Ablngton, Montgomery t County, who foimed it, and consists of , twenty-five young native Italians of Phil- adelphla, who meet once a week and for .three hours do a prodigious amount of 'k work for the soldiers of, their native land o'ver there." rs .... uiesB iweniyiive young men not only make and roll all the bandages that are It, eent to Italy by the Emergency Aid So ciety', but tolso all the ambulance pillows, gauze dressings and like medical and hos pital supplies that all armies constantly need. 1,, The work is entirely voluntary; there 'are no dues and no other than moral and - patriotic obligations are placed upon the ; men, who offered their services as soon as ' -'Mrs. Evans made the plan known. But not IV a man in the twenty-live has missed a ? lngle meeting since the unit was formed. "'Italians to the aid of Italy" was Mrs, ;Evans's slogan, and it has more than met ,.s her "expectations and hopes in results. It 'JVave the Italian youths an oppprtunity for J" patriotic service and at the same time re Jlleved the women members of the Emer- Tl . . kV.fency Aid of a great deal of arduous &rl'8oma of the work of this unit was I S among the first supplies to reach the V' Italian army after the retreat last Novem- Jber, and there has. been no slackening up Ja. .t.& tft.ifmt. rt thtt Italian .allnn alnnA It.

CLUBWOMEN BANISH WAR IN CONVERSATION Philomusians Won't Discuss Ger mans or Kindred Pessimisms at Least One Day Weekly The Phlloinusian Club has set an example which should be followed by every one who wishes to help In winning the war. At least one da? a week Its members come together, firmly resolved not to mention the amount of sugar one cannot get, nor the unholy price of shoes, nor how cloe the Germans may get to Paris. They do not talk pesslmistleall about how long the war will last in fact, for one day the war Is taboo Hvery one becomes cheer ful. The conveisation Is turned to the pleas ant and unimportant subjects of peaceful times. Frequently various foims of enter tainment are devised. Taken all in all. that one day when the war and Its attendant armv of glooms are forgotten does quite as much tow aid hasten ing the victorious outcome as any of the other da s of tlw week, when the women work from dawn till eve at every conceivable Kind of work Natuially, during the week, when the women get tired and blue, a slight pessimism creeps in It Is Just when the minds of the people are In this state that the most fruit ful seeds of Germanism are sown and take root A great many people are still a bit Incredulous of the Idea, that Gerrqan propa ganda Is continual! Ill the air like a cloud of poisonous microbes. One woman, however, told of how one of her servants had been turned hy the fatal new germ He is a negro, and had been a sturdy American. Then gradually a change came over him He began to grow anti Ally; In a short time he became violently so. Pro-ciermanlsni began to spread among the other servants, and the mistress dis charged the bo. He was ill af led and sent to Camp Meade. There he refused to obey ordeis. he said that he was a "conscientious objector" and refused to learn the A B C of warfare He Is now serving the first jear of it ten j ears' sentence. It Is easy to see, these clubwomen hold, that one of the most natural ways of spread ing an eneiii.. propaganda Is to make a people feel discouraged and pessimistic It Is against tills that the tiermans themselves and in their own countiy are making a most desperate fight. Women are beginning to realize tills and that the best work they can do Is to keep each other gay at home, and the bos they have In France assured of their own com fort and the strength of the nation.

A Cigarette Romance Cigarettes, and romance would appear at first sight to be rather an Inharmonious blend, but one Juns bride has found that smoke Is beneficial to the tender flower. In witness of which we point to the recent wed ding in England cf Private Ball. H-t:ame about In this way: A certain Pri vate Ball, of the R. A, M. C, a survivor of the grand old 'contemptible'' army-of Eng land that held up the German onrush to Paris, went to France 'in the fateful August of 1914, Jp those early days, when disor ganization was rife and hardship Indescriba bly greater than now, there weie few luxu ries for the British troop. The-man who got a good mesl ,vas In lliqk. And the one thing a. soldier loves most next to peace, a ciga rette, was as scarce as the hlgh-explostve shell. , When Private Ball had been "out there" tome weeks, smokeless and hard worked, he received a small parcel fgi Ungland. In it he found a packet of xHr&ettes. For this blessng hggSTrote to the donor, whose name wag inclosed, and thanked her for the welcome gift. The reply was another packetf cigarettes. He wrote again, and so a regulaV correspondence ststed. A. few daya ago at St, Gabrlerj-churc. -NEiffiai .!;. .- !! Notes on Women's Work in War Activities Here The call to the women of the country not to buy any more jewels set In platinum until after the war Is already producing results, according to members of the Council of De fense. . Letters were Issued a short time ago re minding women that lhotanlum Is a beauti ful metal hardly to be distinguished from platinum , that platinum Is greatly needed for munitions and that conserving platinum for use In the building of guns Is n patriotic act.
