Not a week goes by without a service man shyly giving a shopping order for black chiffon lingerie. Nearly every week requests come for the purchase of layettes. Usually the wives are in the hospitals, and the men are at a loss as to what to purchase in this line. So the shopping girls are delighted to oblige. ORDERS, with money enclosed, arrive from far and wide from men In uniform who want birthday and other anniversary gifts sent to their mothers, wives and sweethearts.

Most numerous are the orders for candy and flowers. The shoppers take two days out each week, on Tuesday and Thursday, spending all day visiting stores and other places In quest of the items the men ask for. A busy committee of women has been working hard to boost the repeat benefit performance of "Sports Go Bang" to be staged at Municipal Stadium next Tuesday night at S.30 o'clock. The sports carnival, featuring lacrosse, boxing, fencing, comedy, music, a parade and other attractions, will be presented to help raise funds for the Philadelphia Branch of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind. The Association, of which A.

G. Cowgill, principal emeritus of the Overbrook School for the Blind, is president, foresees a tremendous amount of work in giving assistance to veterans when they return to civilian status. SELLING tickets for the benefit has been the chief job of the women's committee. The group includes Mrs. Wiliiam Neely Alcorn, who has been in charge of the Asscsciu tion's booth at the annual benefit Emergency Aid Bazaar; Mrs.

John G. Bennett, a trustee of the Association; Miss Ida Eddingfleld, executive director of the Shut-In Society; Mrs. J. Harvey Gordon, third vice president of the local branch and trustee-at-large for the State Association; Mrs. C.

Concerts will Include programs by several music contest winners, as welt as appearances of well-known guest artists and talent from the club itself. The luncheons will feature an interesting group of distinguished speakers representing various fields. Of Interest to followers of the club's activities is the announcement that Henri Elkan will direct both the club orchestra and the club's vocal ensemble this coming season.

The widespread musical interests within the club include a chorus of more than 100 members, an orchestra of 40 members, vocal ensemble of 50, the piano ensemble of 13 grand pianos and 30 players. There also is a Junior Department with more than 50 young girls and an equally Juvenile Department. Another is the Young Students' Group, which has about 25 active members. These young people have their own regular meetings and study groups and are able to perform and criticize each other's work. TOW two years old, the Navy i.N League's "Shopping Service" for members of the armed forces Is still going full force.

present, the women are filling approximately 75 shopping orders each week trying to locate anything from refrigerators to baby carriages for service men unable to do the shopping themselves. Mrs. Paul McAllister is chair man of the "Shopping Service," which maintains daily headquarters at the Navy League. 1500 Locust and also a bureau at the Navy Yard on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Although the committee is small, the women have been doing a gigantic job shopping for the items that the service men request and the Interesting fact is that they are able to fill 99 percent of the orders.

On Mr. McAllister's committee are Mrs. John Tinker, vice chairman; Mrs. Vincent Brecht, Miss Verner McAllister (daughter of the chairman). Miss Janice Penherlo.

Miss Jacquelyn Ruediger, Mrs. Gilbert Oibson and Mrs. Thomas Donaldson. REQUESTS for shopping service come from the local men as well as from other places in the United States and from overseas. A soldier who had returned from Australia asked the shopping service to buy stockings as a gift for a girl he met in that land.

Two other service men who are back from overseas last week appealed to the service to help them find refrigerators. These veterans want to have their families start housekeeping again, and since both have babies, an electric refrigerator is badly needed. So the Navy Leaguers are again practically tearing the town apart trying to find a couple of refrigerators. Just the other day the mother of a nurse on duty overseas asked the shopping Kcrvice to send her daughter a wedding dress the mother had worn years ago. The daughter wanted to be married in the same gown, but the catch was that the dress had to arrive abroad In nine days.

(ID, 1 Teach Child Right Way to Cross Streets By Carolyn Randolph Child Care Every youngster should be taught how to cross the street. Even though lie la forbidden to step off the curb the child should be given instructions on street crossing as soon as he is old enough to play outdoors without constant supervision.

A good many times the carelessness of children is just reflection of the way their parents act. You cannot expect a child, who Is accustomed to crossing the street in the middle of the block or against the traffic light with his mother, to be very careful when he crosses the street alone. The average mother thinks she has done a thorough job of training when her youngster waits for her at the curb and willingly takes her hand. If mother does all the guiding when crossing the street, her youngster doesn't learn how it should be done. Mrs.

G. Straus, of Philadelphia, will receive two dollars for her letter, which follows: "When my youngster reached four years of axe and saw the older children crossing the street, he naturally wanted to do the same thing. 80 I decided to permit him to cross a small street nearby where there was very little traffic. At first when I was with him I made him look In all directions and then tell me when it was safe to cross. Later that street, but that one only, was free to him.

Since he had the liberty to use it. the thrill was lessened and meanwhile lie had learned to be careful. He lost hia desire to leave the pavement."
