Woman's S Ashes Held
For Duty Valuation

PHILADELPHIA. July 1.-THE ashes
Of the mother-in-law of Captain Meyer,
commander of the North German Lloyd
liner Koln. are being held here until
the customs officials can put a valua-
ton upon them. Captain Meyers
mother-in-law died in Germany and
the body was cremated. The captain
was bringing the ashes to this country
for burial in New York. her former
home.
The captain endeavored to have
things hurried, az he has only a few
days on this side. but owing to the fact
that the ashes Of a human being are
not enumerated among the things to
come in free Of duty, much customs
red tape must be unwound before the
captain can bury the ashes.
He was informed that he will have to
wait until a ruling from Washington
can be obtained on the matter. The
burial probably will be postponed until
the captain makes his next trip.

For The Times Children !:
Just Before It's Bedtime
MARY'S VACATION.

- ARY'S father was not a rich
Nn man, SO when vacation time
v came she did not go to the
country to stay all summer, as
most little girls do.
One day she came into the room
where her mother was sitting. Mother,
/ do wish could go away in the sum-
mer like other girls. It is SO lonely
around here: I am the only little girl
who stays at home" she said.
why don't you play with your dolls
or read a nice story book, you have so
man books. You have so many books
you should not be lonely" replied her
mother.
Il am tired Of playing with dolls end
1 have read all my books replied
Mary. II want some one to play with"
TRY to do something to make some
one else happy" said her mother. Il
saw in one of the papers this morning
that a home for poor children was in
need OF playthings for the little girls
who live there and have no fathers or
mothers
What can I do to help them?" ask
ed Mary. 81 have no money to buy
playthings and my old ones are not
worth anything"
I'm the first place you can get the
scrap bag. and We will see II we can
find pieces large enough for doll
dresses" said the mother. Mary ran
and got the bag. and before long they
had cloth for dresses and under
clothes and trimming for both.
Before Mary realized. the time had
passed and her father came home for
supper, and she was so interested she
did not want to stop.
I'VE will plan the dresses tomor-
row." her mother said when she
kissed her goodnight.
The next day Mary brought out four
dolls she had not played with in a
long time. their arms or legs or what
ever parts needed repair were patch
ed. and then the dressmaking began,
and at the end of the week Mary
had two DOLLS fitted out with a com
plete wardrobe. with her mothers
help.
I'VE will take these to the home,
and then you can see Just how much
pleasure your work has given" said
her mother.
How much Mary saw and how much
she learned in the way of doing good
would take too long to tell. but the
children were so pleased and Mary felt
so sorry for the motherless and father
less little ones that She went home quite
contented with her home and all she
had. and best of all her father and
mother.
Then the other dolls were dressed. and
Mary and her mother bought a dozen
cheap dolls to dress, for by this time

Sbe went bone quite

Mary was SO interested in the home and
the children that she quite forgot her
plsymates and being lonely.
Books that needed mending and
broken toys were brought from the at
tic. repaired and taken to the home.
and the summer passed SO quickly that
when her mother said one morning, I'VE
must begin to think Of school next
week." she could not believe vacation
was over.
why, mother" she said, IT have
been so busy have not missed the girls
at all"
That is because you have thought of
others and not about yourself" her
mother replied.
Mary had learned to sew and make
dolls. which is the first step towards
making larger clothes. so you see she
had learned many things which little
girls should know.
All through the year Mary gathered
from playmates all their discarded
toys. dolls and books. as we'll as pieces
Of cloth and bits OF trimming until one
Of the attic rooms In her home looked
like junk shop. But at vacation time.
when her playmates were away, she
worked. and the broken and discarded
toys were taken to the little children at
the home looking almost like new.
Mary never again knew what It was
to be lonely or have nothing to do, and
l am telling you this story because It is
now vacation time. and many little
girls and boys. too. will be staying at
home. and sometimes they will wish for
something to do: then they can think of
Mary and get out their broken toys and
torn books. which can be repaired and
given to some little boy or girl who has
none and will be made happy.
And to make some one happy is one Of
the greatest pleasures In the world. for
you are far happier than the one to
whom you give the plea sure. Trv II
