BfluV SUFFERERS
suaf LOCAL FUuDs

The generous citizens from America
are of one accord in their effort to sue
cor the desolate people of Belgium.
From every city and town and hamlet
are coming contributions to relieve the
endless misery which war has thrust
upon this unfortunate people. To be
sure there are some who condemn the
Germans for laying waste the land and
for continuing to levy tribute upon the
unfortunate citizens remaining, and
there are some who claim that the
warning nations should be left to relieve
the hapless suffering they have caused.
Others assert that we should give only
to bring the Belgians to our shores as
EN-. rants, etc, but starvation and
chill winds pressed upon women and
children wait for no moralizing. We
can settle these points afterwards. Let
US give and give quickly.

What WAS by all means, one of the
most interesting meetings in the history
of the Monday Afternoon club. was
held in the art room Of the State Nor.
NAL School on their regular meeting
day this week. The club is studying
social science this year, but Art day is
one of the special features incorporated
in their program.
Mrs. Margaret White O'Leary is
president and she called the meeting to
order. About forty members RESPONDED
to roll call and there were many guests
present.
The president appointed COMMITTEES
consisting of Mrs. j. W. Rockefeller,
Mrs. E. H. Robinson and Mrs. John
Lehrritter to take charge of the Red
Cross Christmas seal campaign after
which Mrs. Carolyn NJ. Kelley. leader
for the day. introduced Prof. Richter,
head of the art department of the Nor
mol, who gave splendidly helpful talk
upon the Universally Of Art" He
held the closest attention of his large
audience as he dwelt upon art as a
social dynamic, and in his earnest help
ful manner showed clearly that art is
not for the few. IT is, rather, every
where in life and for life. Hence every
thing that makes for harmony and
beauty in this world, uplifts the heart
and makes mankind better.
At the close of his address Prof.
Richter was rendered rising vote Of
thanks. and after many expressions Of
appreciation the club adjourned to meet
with Mrs A. G. Clark at her home on

knowing that W. r. Sammons of
Powderhorn had this summer taken a
good deal of interest in building good
roads out of the Cebolla valley the
Eews-C Champion editor ssked him this
week for his opinion ss to the most
6sssible road for Lake City and the
kiasdsle county folks. who are entitled
~ an outlet through GuBnison county.
Ii was naturally supposed that the
short and easy road WAS straight down
the Lake Fork to Sapinero, but Mr..

hesrd Hinsdele county folks tslk shsot
il, but believe they would perfer that
the outlet they must have should come
this way"
But how about the travel between
Lake City and the Montrose Delta coun-
try was the next question. That
again, can be shortened and q much
better road made by way of the present
cutoff from Gateview end short con-
nection to be made with the Rainbow
route near the head of the Little Blue, T"
said Mr.. Sammons. 1T should not
cost more than $500 to $500 to put this
cutoff in good condition for autos turn
ing west. In fact the cost of both roads
would not be more and probably would
be less than the Sapinero mesa route. "
As late Improvement on this road
Mr.. Sammons states that the new
bridge across the Cebolla at Bowers
ranch is just completed this week.
This is interesting and we wonder
what Lake City folks think of the idea.
A little discussion this winter may help
the road projects next spring Perhaps
Commissioner Gillaspey of the first dis
trict has some points to bring up in the
matter and Lake Fork people should be
heard.

tempt to build the road to the Utah

is m immense amount of traffic along
this road and we owe it to the people
to give them better road This will
be considered and taken care Of when
we make our appropriations in the

along further with its part of the work
toward the Colorado line, we shall build
our part to connect with them, hoping

tuberculosis to Vanish.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Metchnikoff belongs to Russia, but he
is now resident of France There are
some very great scientists in France, but
since Pasteur died Metchnikoff has been
regarded as the most notable scientific
figure in that country. When. therefore,
Metchnikof expresses the opinion that
before long tuberculosis is going to dis
appear from civilized lands, and ultimate
ly from the whole earth. the prophecy Is
not to be pooh-pohed.
Yet it will be. One Of the character
istics Of this age-and probably of every
other-is to praise and glorify the ex-
perts and then discredit and disregard
what they say. Man insists on thinking
for himself. He will not let others think
for him. even when those others are bet
ter qualified than he to think about GER
tain things because they have given spe-
cial study to those things Therein mar
is foolish and Illogical and unscientific
Metchnikoff is not infallible, but he knows
a great deal more about tuberculosis than
the average man knows.

WATCHING THE STARS WAR MAP

girl who was escorted to the map by
her friend He loked for a while at the
map and tears rose in her affectionate
eyes. Her large mouth quivered.
"Oh, Mosesw she walled. you done toll

you shows me a lot Of little red and
black dots on top a piece Of cloth Man

Some of the critics of the map point
out that there is but little change In
the position Of the troops from day to
day: Forgetful of the fact that the
slightest change of one of the discs
really means an advance or retreat OF
many miles. the critics complain t.
they do not get action.
This furnished the subject Of an in
teresting debate. A perky looking gen.
tleman and his friend were examining
the map for the third time in one day.
They had stopped in the morning on
their way to work. and evidently they
were in the same office. They had
come out together at lunch and held
another conference. And again at 4:30
in the afternoon they came out again.
During this time the discs had been
changed slightly, but not with the ra-
pidity of a base ball scoreboard.
