DANIELS AND BAKER ADDRESS PUBLISHERS KEW TORE, April 26. "This war must be won If it calls for all the' boys under thirty-one or all 'boys' under JeTenty," Secretary of the Navy Daniels told 1,200 persons at the annual banquet last night of the American Newspaper Publishers' As sociation. The Secretary sharply criticised "echo editors" who "mistake hysteria and noise for conviction and thought," declaring they were like ships at sea without rudder or sail or steam or captain. Other speakers of the evening were Secretary of War Baker, Charles E. Hughes, former justice of the United States Supreme Court, and Stephane Laur&nne, editor of the Paris Matin. Secretary Baker told of his visit to France, how he had seen sights that made his blood run cold, and how the civilian population of England, France, and Italy is filled "with a perfectly supreme confidence in the outcome of the struggle."

Tenth strct moderately Kate Hinton Visits the Cold Storage Vault Yesterday I went downtown to buy navy blue tulle to, make a new scart like the. lovely ones you see on the smart-looking girls on F. street, and really they are such becoming things that I wonder the fad has not grown faster. All you need is enough 'tulle to twist about your rieck and hang in ends to your- knees, with a big silk tassel to tip each end. You know the be cominghess of soft tulle about your face, sotake the hint and make yourself pne. As I entered the store I remembered that I wanted to send the furs down f or"storage, and I .just decided that I would take a look at the storage vaults. Per haps your idea of a vault is" like mine was hat a vault is a dark, damp, dirty-looking place'; but in the future I will always think of a Vault as'a big, roomy place all white enamel, with rows uppn.rpws'of pegs and Tacks, .for Fn this modern fireproof vault every individual gar ment has its own hsok, peg, orVrack,, whether it be muff, or coat, or hat There are three floorsMri the vault, and I saw all kinds of furs, plumes, velvet gowns,. fur hats and over coats hanging' safely, and secu'rery in neat rows. Rugs were rolled on long racks, fur rugs and steamer rugr hung across the rails, and every article is so carefully labeled that it can be located within three-minutes. When I went into the entrance hallway the attend ant held out a big warm coat for me to slip "on, and I thought he was joking, but when we stepped into that spotless vault that was several degrees below freezing, I was thankful for the coat The attendant explained to me that when you order articles stored an auto isr sent for them, and in it is placed specially constructed fibre trunks fitted with removable trays, which are brought to your door and your garments are placed in tht tray, taken'to the trunk and securely locked up, not to be opened until they reach the vault. There each piece is numbered, thoroughly cleaned by an electric Vocess, and nunS on specially made hangers, with ample room between each garment A big lump came into my throat when I saw the number of dress-uniforms of our soldiers aqd sailors hanging in a long row, their gold lace shining bravely, ,j just as their owners are now going bravely into battle for you and for me, "and there was a Big prayer in my I heart that every uniform' will again be worn by its owner soon, "When. Samrhy comes marching home." Life is certainly Tadc easier fur the hauriwife nov. '.v!i2r..she no. longer needs to worry about storing furs and voclens and msrs throughout the Summer i months, but has only to phone downtown and have a messenger call and take thzra away, and keep them out of her vay until .they are needed in the Fall. Next time vou are downtown take my advice ?r.J ' visit the Cold Storage Vauit and you will not have ont a . . - . . more cay f worry aoout wr.erc to piace your va:ua bies for- safet'v from the Summer moths, and that is surclv a friendly hfht from KTE HINTON. z so Br tTIf ' W In the Wardrobe of Every Well-dressed Young Woman H mj ,i i ""i -rr There should be a Tailor Suit, and an ever-ready Street dress of dark silk or serge.
