"These two great organizations are

cause and have furnished over two
thirds of all the relief supplies sent to
China to succor the starving millions.

only partly relieved the situation and

have been saved, hundreds of thou

1t was a new thing to send British

doing. 1t is not quite new thing to
have American teachers return the Wis

adreds of them will do next year by

lic-spirited Briton. The American
schoolmarm has long been our most
persistent and most alert foreign trav-
eler. You find her in the summer
months all over Europe 1nanifesting a
certain erudition in art and architec-
ture and tireless eagerness to learn
more. Year after year, as the bank
ing houses issuing letters of credit will
tell you, she returns to the charge. We
have an idea, however that she trav-
els for change and rest that she
studies everything abroad except the
public schools and that if she has her
way she will continue to do so without
her young charges being any the worse

Wise Old King.

When King Solomon returned from
the hunt he found his 700 wives in
tears.
"Why my dears." he fastened, what
is the cause of this unusual weeping?"
"Why," sobbed the wives in chorus.
"when you left this morning you did
not call each of us priceless jewel as
you have been in the habit of doing"
Solomon laughed
"Of course not he chuckled. Did
you not see the tax assessor standing
In the shadows? If he had heard me
say 1 owned zoe priceless jewels he
would have levied on the whole
throne"
Which goes to show that the ancient
king was just as wise as modern
