pressed in words, but / am sure that
we all feel it. While the collection to-
day is larger than many of US ventured
to expect, yet we realize that it is far
from being the result that should come
from the amount of patience and en-
ergy that has been expended by the few
faithful workers this year.
A relapse seems to threaten us. This
is a serious condition. II may be
caused in general by the WEAKNESS
that comes from the multiplicity of
things we try to do in this day and age,
but L believe il is mainly due to a lack
of knowledge about the guild work in
this community; so few really under
stand IL So the cure for the relapse
lies. first. in talking UP the simple plan
and good work of the guild system
oftener than we do; and, second, in a
change of physicians. 1t is impossible
to believe that this simple. broadly or
Sanized charity is no longer approved
or needed in this community. 1t is
unfortunate that charity is dispensed
in such haphazard fashion as it is in
this city The unfortunate, the suffer
ing. and also the unprincipled are al
ways with US. and. naturally, as the
county officials, the various aid soci
cites and the Salvation Army each dis
pense their aid without consulting one
another. there must be some cases of
imposition by the unworthy, and other
cases innocently confirmed in their
miserable pauperism by assistance
everywhere they apply. What we most
need here is a central organization. a
sort OF clearing house for the various
aid societies.
There is another view to take of the
Needlework Guild. 1t is a growing ma
tional organization There are now
branches in all but eight states. Since
Utah's star was so proudly placed on
the nations field of blue, it is great
reason for us to be identified with
everything national that is good When
we look over the reports and note that
California and Massachusetts. Wash
inston and Missouri and the CaroIinas
and all the other thirty odd states are
unfolding this national charitable or
ganization, we want to. see Utah in
cluded in the list. The effectiveness of
this national organization was shown
a year ago last summer, when "spe-
cial collection" was requested, and 49,
14l new garments were sent to the des-
titude Cubans by the Needlework Guild
of America We certainly must do all
that We can to keep Utah in the very
best company. So let US. for the sake
of the state we have made our home.
and for the enduring comfort we know
We can dispense. renew our courage

should cause no end of remarkable

ever natural the usual run of such oc-

over a trio of important incidents in
which cats have played a prominent
part may be worth observation.
At Bristol, for instance, in July last,
a far-seeing cat proved instrumental in
saving four lives-human Lives, of

the little animal found it's way into an
upstairs room, and after gently
scratching its masters face. he awoke.
In view of the room being full of
smoke, he quickly saw that something
wrong was taking place. and through
this he hastily aroused the other in
mates of the house. each effecting an
escape from the burning house just in
the nick of time.
On the other hand. however. a few
weeks before the Bristol incident took
place a cat originated a serious fire
over in the states By leaping on to a
table It upset an oil lamp. and as the
outcome the two-story brick building
took fire and got good hold before it
was found out. In this case, had it not
