The Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross, it was an nounced yesterday, has been ad- vised by the national headquarters of the Red Cross that all of thei mnrp than 3 010 chanters in the unueu m.afc''S are njii itfqusieu to double quotas for the production of garments for relief among the noncombatants of the Euro pean war. "he local chapter has just com pleted and prepared for shipment I the remainder of its original quota of 3,000 garments. Included in this quota were 500 sweaters, which have been knitted by the women of Indianapolis and Marion county, and 300 dresses. The garments in cluded hospital bed shirts, operat ing gowns, socks, knitted caps and layettes. Chapter officials said they are making arrangements to in-' crease the production of garments, which are used mostly by war refugees.

Complete Sweaters. Volunteer workers have been completing sweaters at, the rate of approximately 25 a day. The chapter already has purchased 850 pounds of yarn from its own funds and there are indications that, these purchases will be further increased within the next, fey weeks. Requests from national headquarters indicate an increasing need for sweaters for. women and children and for long knitted scarfs.

The latter garments will be produced by volunteers who feel they have not. had enough experience in knitting to make more intricate garments. Scores of Indianapolis women are devoting time each week to the garment production program. The cutting of garments is done at, the chapter headquarters by Mrs. P.

C. Riley, Mrs. A. G. Pawling, Mrs.

M. Alexander and Mrs. Fred Hooker. The following devote a half-day each week to giving instruction in knitting and in keeping records on wool that is taken from the headquarters by women who desire to work at home: Miss Julia Brink, Mrs. Charles Moid, Mrs.

Supplementary equipment of skis, toboggans, snowshoes, snow glasses and heavy blankets for field trips was provided. Maneuvers on skis and snow-shoes previously were part of the regular winter routine, and toboggans were used to carry ammunition and machine guns. Passengers Say Boulder Saved Train in Canyon Prince Rupert, British Columbia, March 2.

(U.P.) The slory of how a huge boulder prevented a derailed train from crashing 300 feet to a rocky canyon bottom was told here by passengers of the train who were being brought by boat from Vancouver. When the train was traveling the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, a passenger and baggage car was derailed in the Skagway river canyon, seven miles from Skagway, Alaska. The rock, lying beside the tracks, miraculously held the entire train on the edge of the cliff.

LT) -From the mayor to the corner shoeshine boys, Philadelphia expects the coming of the Republican national convention In June to give a Midas touch to a town with a big debt ($533,469,000) and a sad need for some lavish spending I The nation's third largest city knows how lucky it is lo play host for a week or more to an estimated 125.000 visitors; how covet ous other financially-embarrassed American cities must be of Phila delphia's sweet opportunity to cash in on the quadrennial Republican mass meeting. Four years ago the Democrats Spent $10,000,000 here at the convention which renominated Franklin D.

Roosevelt, and the city's leaders expect the Republicans to pour that mucn ana more into the channels of trade. Just What Faticnt Needs. They believe the convention may he just what the doctor ordered for a metropolis suffering from re rurrine deficits $3,503,455 last year and a succession of huge tax delinquencies. Representative of the general rejoicing are these forecasts of what the Republican powwow will mean to Philadelphia: Jay Cooke, Republican city chairman and candidate for the United States Senate, sees "a rebirth of industry, business and the progressive spirit in Philadelphia George VV. Elliott, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, pre dicts $12,000,000 to $14,000,000 will be pumped into the city economic bloodstream.

Hotel men, restaurant and night club owners, theater proprietors, taxi drivers, red caps, bootblacks just rub their palms together and grin. Prerarat are being rushed la make the city look its best and to give delegates and other visitors a good show for their money. Clean lp Spot. One newspaper proposed thai the ir.anv historical spots in this birthplace of the nation' independence be marked and thst shabby spots be cleaned up. Already there are signs the suggestion will be heeded.

For special entertainment, the city fathers are arranging a repeat performance of the New Year's parade and a regatta on the historic Schuylkill river. In some respects, the convention may be the answer to a mayor's prayer. Robert E. Lamberton, tall and rock-jawed, had been in ollice less than two months as Re publican mayor of the nation's third largest city when he and his allies marched down to Washington, dangled a $200,000 chunk of bait before the party's national committee and landed the "convention. Criticism Cropping Vp.

The "honeymoon." period In which new holders of public office traditionally enjoy rclntive freedom from partisan brick-hats was nearly over. Criticism of the city's 50-year-old Republican management, its fire-fighting equipment, its understaffed police force, its incompleted subways, its drinking water, was cropping up again with pre-election vehemence. Furthermore, Philadolphinns were squirming under a 1 per cent tax the Lamberton administration levied on the wages and incomes of all who vork here, regardless of residence. The tax was upheld in two court tests, hut collections lagged badly. Five days before the dead line for January payments, only about one-third of the expected revenue of $1,500,000 a month had come in.

And then Mayor Lamberton's party chose his city for the June convention. Happier Days for Collector. I Horizons immediately brightened for the gray-haired former county judge and University of Pennsylvania football star who beat down spirited Democratic opposition last fall to become mayor of the city. Mayor Lamberton does not expect the influx of convention dollars to wash away Philadelphia's financial woes. But he does expect convention business to help put Philadelphia back on its feet and, perhaps, drown out some of the grumbling.

It might even mean happier days for the tax collector. In any event, the city is gearing itself for a spending spree by-outsiders and Chamber of Commerce statisticians estimate that each convention dollar spent here will be turned over an average of 10 times. $200,000 Was Investment. So it is apparent that the 000 Philadelphia businessmen pledged the Republican party for the privilege' of holding the convention here is no philanthropy, but an investment. A.

Russell Phillips, director of the hotel and tourist bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, has it all figured out where the ubiquitous convention dollars will wander: Hotels, stores, theaters and night clubs, wholesalers and manu facturers, restaurants, $2,400,000, and transportation com panies, $552,000. The longer the delegates stay the more Philadelphia and its mavor will like it. To them, the meeting means dollars instead of votes. -And it may even mean votes to Mayor Lamberton if he changes his mind and runs tor re-election four years hence.

According to custom, the Art Association of Indianapolis was represented with a jury member when its prizes were awarded. Miss Lucy M. Taggart represented the art association as a third member of the jury of awards. The paintings and sculpture are effectively displayed in three upper galleries also on the balcony and on the two stair landings.

The large east and west galleries are hung with the oil paintings. A touch of stateliness and dignity is afforded by the well-balanced arrangement of the larger pieces of sculpture on high pedestals figures in the round in the east gallery and portrait heads in the round in the west gallery. The examples of small sculpture, also the small pieces of craft work, are on view in a large exhibition case which is placed midway of the long corridor or balcony on the second floor. An arrangement of wall-board partitions affords three small galleries on the balcony where will be found the "overflow" of water colors that could not be given display space in the west octagonal gallery, which has been reserved for the' exhibit of water-colors. The prints and drawings in black and white are displayed on the two stair landings.

Catalogue Is Beautiful. A beautiful catalogue, with cover page in red and gray on the ivorv-toned oaper. designed dv art in the Herron Art School, is well worth preserving, for it is not only a gallery list of artists and their work but it gives information with regard to all former prize winners, and it is illustrated with 11 beautiful black and white re- productions of pictures and sculp- lure in ine o.hi nmmtii cahiuuiuh of Indiana art. An article in Monday's Star will give detailed information concerning the jury and prize winners, for which there is not space in this article.

UM) At Lullingstone Castle a lovely- old place in Kent 3,500,000 silkworms and 50 human helpers are making and spinning silk for parachutes. Even this large quantity of worms can produce only 6,000 parachutes against the thousands that are needed.

Interesting facts of their exist ence were provided by Lady Hart Dyke, the chatelaine of the castle. At least 17a tons of mulberry leaves are consumed by this hun grv horde of insects each year. Each cocoon contains one and one-half miles of silk. Every two years 100,000 new silkworms are imported from Mar seille. The rest are bred on the spot.

Silkworms in the 28 days of their life span grow in sudden stages: They cast their skin four times and emerge each time a few sizes larger. No sooner have the moths laid their eggs than they die.

But it is a riilllcult mat ter to find a nationally important. artist these days, who has not been more or less influenced by the modern schools. It is contended by those who have observed the work of jurying art exhibitions, that the so-called modern artist is more liberal and fair-minded in his consideration of all classes of art than is Ihe so-called conserva tive. At any rate we have had interesting and up-to-date exhibitions since Director Wilbur D.

Peat has been inviting the jurors from out side of the state. On Jury Committee, This year's jury committee con sisted of Ernest Fiene, New York artist, who is internationally known for his ability in handling diversly of art subjects, and Glen Mitchell of Minneapolis, a native Hoo.sier who has been "coming along" as an artist of original thought and lively technique.
