The American W. c. n. u. Helped

During the latter part of the cam
paign in Greece excellent service was
done in the field hospitals by a few
English nurses who left home TO care
for the wounded soldiers in the Greek
army. The princess of Wales was much
Interested in the project, and lent her
influence to aid it, and Lady Henry
Somerset took an active part in the ar
rangements for the nurses departure,
says the New York Tribune.
This country also had its part in the
affair, for the National w. CT. u. sent.
through Miss Frances Willard, $500,
representing the expenses Of sending
one nurse. The women, who were all
enthusiastic for the Greek cause and
experienced in hospital work, sailed
from London and arrived a few weeks
ago at Athens. They were heartily
welcomed there, and the people who
had assembled TO greet them cheered
them warmly as they landed. The work
which was assigned to them was tax
ing to their strength and frequently of
the most trying and disaRreeable ma
ture, but they had come with the lxnowl-
edge that war meant hardships, and
they have acquitted themselves nobly.
The task of caring for the wounded is
not ended yet. and the nurses viii
doubtless stay as long as their pres
ence can be of use.

The situation In Indiana.

indianapolis. July 27-Commissioners
Conner and Terhune, appointed by Gov
ernor Mount to visit the Indiana coal
fields and report on the condition of the
miners, have submitted their conclu-
sions. They find that about 5000 min
ers and families will need assistance IL
the present conditions continue.
They suggest that the prosperous peo-
pie Of Indiana should give the subject
their thought. Operators are quoted to
the effect that they are responsible for
the low wages and the condition Of
miners, for they have forced down
prices under the stress Of competition,
which in turn has driven them to it.
The report calls attention to the fact
that no lawlessness exists and that there
are no signs Of an unruly spirit.
The governor has decided TO issue an
appeal suggesting some kind of a rea-
sonable relief for the striking miners
and their families.

An Imnortnnt omIssion.

At a prayer meeting recently held in
one of the churches not a thousand
miles from Utica there was manifested
a desire on the part of some of the par
icipants to praise themselves. One
man, says the Utica Observer, even went
back TO the days of his boyhoodl to
show how good he had been even at
that time. He said that one day, while
walking along a country road, he sud
denly discovered in one of his pockets
a dollar belonging TO his employer,
which he had neglected to turn over TO
the latter. With crushing force the
thought came to him that his employer
would miss the dollar and believe him
to be dishonest Overcome by that
thought he sat down by the roadside
and wept. There the story ended.
Those who heard the pathetic narra-
tive were deeply moved, and one of the
women present subsequently told her
young son about it, probably with the
intention to produce q good effect upon
the youthful mind. But the youthful
mind didn't seem 20 be impressed. The
thoughtful boy remained silent for "A
few moments, and then he burst out
with: ''Say. ma, did the man tell
whether he ever gave the dollar back p

Houses.

Caves Are Being Built Under school
Houses.
We have fire drills in our public
schools in the east, and very effective
drills they have proved in more than one
case of emergency. IN Kansas they
have no fire drills, or. If they have, we
have still to hear of it. Out there tor
nadoes are more TO be dreaded than
fires, and the schoolchildren are now
being trained in tornado drills, says the
New York Sun.
When tornadoes strike Kansas
town everybody makes at once for
prairies. 1t is the only way TO escape
death from flying doors and chimneys,
falling trees and topping buildings.
Schoolchildren ave trained to know this
from the cradle, and on these occasions
rush pell nell for the nearest bit Of
clear prairie attainable. But many
children have been MANNED and even
killed in these terrible storms.
SO they have started a movement
throughout the state to have tornado
raves built under the schoolhouses large
enough to accommodate all the children
while the blow lasts. And here comes
in the tornado drill, which is already
being put into practice.
1t is very much like our own Gre drill.
The teacher sounds the alarm on the
piano and the children all stand up.
Then the march is played, and out they
go in good order, down the stairs and
into the cave.
Then let the winds blow Let the
entire building fall in ruinsl The chill
dren are safe and have only TO be dug
out.

Scottdale, Pa.

Wheeling, July 27.-Eugene V. Debs
made his appearance in Wheeling and
was met by a large crowd at the rail-
road station. Last night he addressed
a mass meeting in the central part Of
the city. The efforts to secure the pub
ic building square for the meeting fall
I'd, and the meeting took place square
away.
In speaking of the situation in the
Fairmont coalfelds Debs said he felt
Encouraged. A number of men Joined
The strikers there on Sunday, andothers
llre expected to follow. He said the ef-
forts Of the organizers would have been
more successful but for the fact that
the operators. as he claims. prevented
their men from attending the meetings.
Practical slavery. he said, exists in the
Fairmont mining reg on.
Although the press may report the
miners as living under favorable con-
ditions in the Fairmont region" said
lDebs, II have collected data from farm
ers, miners and storekeepers which
show that the mining companies cheat
their employees in the mines, at the
scales and in the company stores.
THE intimidation practiced by the
operators has prevented many from
joining the strike, but we are hopeful
of ultimate success in West Virginia"

The English Feed. the Americans De-
vOur. the French Eat.
People may sneer at judging a ma
tion by the amount of attention il
pays 20 its stomach; but the stomach is,
after all, very important part of the
human anatomy, and those who sur
round the physical necessities of our
animal nature with agreeable charms
that make them less coarse and brutal
certainly have a claim to being consid-
cred in some degree promoters of civ
ilization, says the Chautauquan. IL
is libel both upon nature and natures
God to hold that everything pleasant
is wrong and that the refnements Of
life have no place in that great evolution
that is gradually raising mankind to
higher plane. even though such
refnements descend 10 the accessories
of the table. 1t is in this respect that
French cooking is superior to all other
cooking; it is more refined. The Eng
hsh feed, the Americans devour; only
the French really know how to eat.
Their meals, as rule, are less heavy
and solid than those of other nations,
yet quite sufficient in quantity. while
the great fact that distinguishes their
cooking is their perfect comprehension
of the part played by seasoning. Like
the Gallo wit which favors their lit
erature. their thorough knowledge of
seasoning gives zest to their cooking.

Planned the Capital at Washington

Planned the Capital at Washington
for the Nations Future Greatness.
Our great-grandfathers had some idea
of the future grandeur of this country
when they planned the great capitol
building at Washington, for, although
this magnificent structure is one of the
noblest public buildings in the world,
there is reason to believe that its plan
is, in the main. what was projected by
Washington and his coadjutors, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The old
north wing was founded by Washing
ton in 1898 and finished in 1900; the
old south wing was founded in 1911
and very soon after completion both
we're burned by Ross and the British
troops. Between 1917 and 1927 the edi-
flee was rebuilt, and the new extern
sions, forming the present chamber of
the house of representatives and of the
senate. were begun in 1851, the house
movinginto its new quarters in 1857 and
the senate not until 1859. The dome was
erected between 1856 and 1865. The
length of the capitol building is 751
feet and 4 inches, its breadth from 121
to 324 feet, it covers 153,1 ,112 square feet;
from the base line to the top of the
statue its height is 2s7 feet and IL
inches. 1t cost over $4,000, 900.

A Crisis at scottdaIe.

new men has arrived here, and they
express a determination to go to work.
The strikers committee labored with
them unsuccessfully. and when they re-
ported the result of their interviews to
the idle mill men the excitement be-
came intense. Armed deputies are on
guard about the mill property. and or
ders have been issued to arrest any per-
son who trespasses. Both sides seem
to be preparing for a conflict, which
nearly everybody expects and fears.
Connections have been made so that
the boilers and furnaces can be fired
with natural gas, but the officials OF the
company refuse to give any information
as to the time they expect to start. The
old men say their lines are solid and
that they viii remain so.

Watchmen and Guides DfsguHted-
Lose Their Brass buttons.
There couldn't possibly be in all this
city another crowd of men so disgusted
as were the watchman, guides and ele-
vator men at the city hall, says the
Philadelphia Record It was all because
the public buildings commissioners had
been seized with what the men con-
sidered ridiculous attack of economy.
This is the time of the year when all
uniformed men in the employ of the
city prepare TO change their winter
clothing for their summer garments.
Now, the uniforms worn by the city hall
men are profusely adorned with brass
buttons bearing the seal of the city, and
the municipal authorities are particu-
larly careful to see that none of these
buttons shall ever go astray. 1t is, in
fact, punishable offense for a common
citizen TO have in his possession one of
these buttons. Accordingly when each
man appeared for duty, he was called
to the front and an official, armed with
pair of shears, shipped of all the city's
buttons from the victims uniform ex-
cept one, which was left to hold the coat
across the chest. Fortunately the sus-
pender buttons on the trousers are just
the ordinary kind, without any muni.

certainly have been a strike. The croT
of buttons thus gathered IN was seni

Fairmont, W. Va, July PA mass
meeting was announced to be held at
New England. but none was held, be-
cause only 23 miners had gathered. An
injunction issued by Special Judge Ma
son seems to have put an end to the
strike here. With all the leaders at
Wheeling, the men say there is nothing
left for them to do but to go to work.
Fully 100 men took this step at Monon-
gah, which, with so men imported from
the Connellsville region, makes $50 men
at work there. The injunction just is
sued has not as yet been served. and
the operators think this step will be
unnecessary. It is said many miners
want to go back to work and that this
step will be taken very soon.
