And vet there's a drive on for knitters fit the various Red Cross auxiliaries. And ?- .. . .. ..i.i. .i..i , no neai we nave can cuniiiuie nun n"01 the boys are Buffering, especially In the i present great dilve. But, haven't they done wonderful things? ' Only recently I read an aitlcle In one of 'the current magazines against knitting. It quoted an English officer, and said among other things that he personally had never Been a soldier wear n sweater nor a helmet. Xt believe he did admit that stockings weie J'rieeded. frtwell. It caused much excitement In Red ross circles, because a number of the tt-nrltrra tp.tr) flila article nnrl said. "If We ---. tare wasting time, give us someuung eise "''to do 7" But the veiy best answer to It all Is that tfthe lied Cross hns sent out a call for sweat ers, socks and helmets, and has assigned a , certain number to each auxiliary, und they r all have to be done by September 20. So J1 you see that is some dilvc, especially when the wool Is given by the Red Cross, too. At the Independence Square Auxiliary, 60S Chestnut street, the vvoikers have been asked to supply 2500 pairs of socks. 1000 sweaters and a number of helmets. It looks as If ther'e was something to question In these magazine articles, iloct It not, when only one nuxlllary supplies that much? Even In July the auxiliary at 60S Is as busy as a bee. They have two Llbeity Bonds now that they are selling on shares for the benefit of the canteen work which to connected with the woikroom. It's sim ply wonderful what they accomplish. It takes time and It takes attention to make them such successes and personal In , terests from those nt the head of the.se undertakings. Mrs. George H. Lorlmer Is chairman of this one, nnd Is In there every day attending to all thi executive work, and she Is ably seconded by her commit tee, too. DID you know 'that Natalie Morris, of Chestnut Hill, Is taking an agricultural course at Aml)4)rst College? She has had trouble with iter ejes and was forced to five up her painting for a while. She had r ft studio here In town, yoli know, and was ?dolng awfully clever work. She has alwas been Interested In gardening and has a beautiful gaiaen at her home in St. Mar ftine, with little paths between .the beds, . and flowers blooming all thiough the rum mer. So she has turned her attention to a more serious study of it, and Is learning all about soil conditions and that kind of thing for the Government. I believe she Is going further into the work next year at r Cornell if she likes it well enough. It must .b, fascinating study. TT"S' always interesting to hear about people who used to live here and have moved to another city, don't ou think? Bo perhaps ydu'll be interested to hear something about Mnrjiie Thomas Pome roy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Lewis Thomas, of Pelhatn road. Gci man town.' JShe was married about a ear ago to Lleu ' tenant Nevin Pomeroy and went to Cleve land when he was sent out there totaspect something or other for tle Oidnance De partment. The news is that "Nev" has recently been made a captain, and Madge's friends here are mucli excited and very proud over it. Madge is an awfully attrac tive little thing and is very popular in Ger- K jmaritown, so of course there are a lot of t people interested In the promotion.

WHAT A CONGRESSMAN SEESk A Scniiucchly Letter Touchinp on thr Washington Doings of Pcrsonalitim Familiar lo Philadclphians ( By J. Hampton Moore Washington, July 17. A SURVHY of the political situation In Washington finds President Wilson on guard at the White House, sending out oc caslonal letters to Senators or tnembeis of Congiess couched In such terms as to lead many Republicans to wonder how far thev ought to go In supporting the Pics-ldent without reserve It cannot be denied that the Commander-ln Chief of the army and navy, behind whom nil pitrlotlc Americans desire to stand in the war, is not entirely oblivious of his political strength Neither ale the departments, bonids and commlv sinns. which now operate under his direc tion. Thev "eem to feel that the winning of the war Is dependent upon the continu ance of existing political conditions. The Republicans genet nllv take issue with the political views of those who are In power and who ale endeavoring to per petuate It, but thev lack that sort of "co heslveness" which David H, Lane, or Phila delphia, would hold to bp essential to paitj success Thpv aie nfiald, to be light frank about It tint anj real assault upon dip political battlenipnts of the Admlnlstra tion would be regarded as unpatriotic and for tint reason little Is done by way of Investigating those mistakes of Govern nient which heavily tax the people. During the last two or three weeks spo radic outbreaks have ocruried, like the Houe resolutions uncovering the ellglbles for aimv and nav service who weie bul led by appointment in the vailous depait incuts and the assault of Senator Peniose and others, on the seemingly nnnecessarj appropilatlons for bug-htinteis In the De partment of Agriculture. The Piesldent, If he noticed these momentary uprisings, however, came back vigorously with veto messages on certain measures .which, put to the test, found him sustained by both houses In a letter to Representative Sims which the House Democrats succeeded in keeping out of the Congressional Record, the Piesl dent, in advocating the passage of the water-power bill, actuary went so far as to urgp the membeis nf the lower house to use their kindly offices with the Senators to bring them to teims. It Is a tule of Hip House that no Senator shall be men tioned by name In House debates, so that tho President's letter came peillously near to a violation of the lules. Notwithstanding the Executive's war time hold upon the legislative body, It Is plain that If the Senate or the House could free Itself for a brief spell from the fear of appealing disloval, there would be doings on the hill that would ciowd the galleries. rpHAT Philadelphia Civil Service Commls - sion, which was headed by Frank M.
