the little girl comfortably, "and l want
to know all about them"
Alright" said her mother. Il want
to know. too, so let's begin. What
comes frst?'
First. / want to know where they
live"
Il wonder where they do live" pom
dered her mother. where would you
suppose 49,.
but ! am sure about one thing. fairies
in the houses are quite different from
forest fairies"
Really? Howl"
Forest fairies" answered the little
girl wisely. work and play in the day
time and sleep in the flowers at night
everybody knows that. But house fairies
are different-they hide all the day
time and play in the night"
How do you know" asked her
mother.
II know il because I have watched
and watched, and | never say a fairy in
the day tIme-never once in this whole
house,
MOP" questioned her mother. "but
have you seen them at night p
"Oh. yes. indeed and the little girl
dimpled happily. MANY times"
I've seen them in the fire light. I've
seen them playing with the moonbeams
or the living room floor-I know they
are here az night !"
Yes. I've seen them too" said her
mother. Il wonder where they hide
during the day"
Maybe they hide behind the books
or under the piano or some place like
that"
Maybe they do" said her mother.
"only behind books and under pianos
don't seem quite like fairy places-look
and see If they do"

vanished up the chimney.
Il know all about il now" said the
little girl happily. "They told me"
The fire fairies said. Don't worry
about where the fairies live. just watch
them and enjoy them when they are
here. and il they go away-why-never
mind-they1l come again And really.

THE NATURALIZATION OF
HEALTH RESORTS

II IS just 80 years since the present
imperial councillor. DIR. Kisch Of Mar
ienbad. suggested that In time OF war
all health resorts should be declared
neutral. and that this sentence should
be added 20 the convention OF Geneva.
In spite OF the interest Il had evoked
when II was formulated for the first
time, the idea fell into oblivion Re
Gently DR.. Kisch has once more taken
up his old idea and explained in sew
eral letters 10 the press how much
could be done II all wounded men and
Officers could be cared for in the Aus
TRAN health resorts. These alone
could provide more than 100000 beds
for wounded soldiers. The Austrian
foreign Office has taken the matter up. /
and efforts will be made for the ac- /
ceptance OF this plan by all nations.

MEETING MAY END
= BASEBALL STRIFE

Chicago, Sept. s.---Overtures to end
the strife between organized baseball
and the Federal league were said to
be up for consideration at a special
meeting of the National Baseball COM
mission which was called here today
Pressure has been heavy from the
minor leagues in favor Of a settlement
for some time according to baseball
experts here. This was said to be due
to the financial losses suffered in some
of the minor organizations, together
with the lack Of purchasers for minor
league talent 80
Settlement of the strife has been ad-
vocated strongly and 1t was reported
that the commission was preparing to
act as a clearing house for definite
suggestions.
