"A good collector is a combination

Haverhill Electric company, Haverhill

methods of collecting outstanding &C

that works well with one debtor may
fall fiat with another. A method that
builds business through courtesy and

HELP WAR BABIES MOTHERS
Mrs. LIoyd-Georse Is Aiding in Care of English
Unfortunates.

A scheme for the training in remunerative work
of unmarried mothers was inaugurated recently
at a meeting of Evangelical church women in
the Welsh chapel, Charing Cross road.
A house has been taken in a small country
town, at the foot of the Wiltshire downs, where
IA young women will shortly be received. 1t is
intended that each girl shall learn domestic
crafts, gardening, or poultry rearing. The In
struction will be given in the course of the ordi-
nary work of the house, commencing before and
continuing after the child is born.
Doctor Saleeby said that it was a sign of
progress that in a Calvinistic chapel people
should consider the claims OF the unmarried
mother, and he characterized the work that was
about to be undertaken not only as religious, but
as hygienic in the highest sense of the word.
In so far as you save a single young mother
from the life of the streets" he said, you are
protecting the future generation from indescrible
evils"
Mrs. Lloyd-George, who is deeply interested
In the experiment of caring for unmarried moth
ers on constructive lines, was unable to attend
the meeting, having been called into the country
to see her little girl, who is i'll. With many others
interested in social welfare, she feels that more
could be done to reclaim young mothers II a
course OF training could be given to them on
broader and more interesting lines than those
Of the past.
The home, which is picturesquely called THE
Retreat" will have these ideals before it in all
its various activities.-Londo Chronicle.

mander of the navy yard received a request from
the commander of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich that
the men be allowed to cultivate a small strip of
tract acquired several years ago by the navy de-
partment for the enlargement of the navy yard.
and on which a new mammoth drydock is to be
built. The request was granted.
A couple of acres or more were turned over to
the Germans. Among the crew are farmers, who
understand intensified farming. The soil of the
tract is of the richest variety. Using spades in
stead of plows and industriously welding hoes,
these men quickly worked a transformation Cab
bage, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets and
turnips were planted. In another thirty days it
is declared that the crop of vegetables will be
sufficient to provide for all of the wants of the
Germans for the rest of the summer and far into
next fall.
When the Kronprinz Wilhelm interned there
was an epidemic of beri beri to check. More
epidemic is practically over.
Early after the internment, according to re-
ports received from the navy yard, and upon the
request Of the commandant of the yard, the sail
ors of both cruisers were lined up by their Off
GERS and given instructions that in converse
ton off the ship strict neutrality must be OBJ
served. They were urged not to talk of German
aspirations, of German successes, and above all
warned to avoid Dragging. They were warned
that such conduct would probably lead to diff
culties with those who favor the allies, and would
mean punishment and withdrawal of shore lib
erty. These instructions have been rigidly ad-
hered to by the German sailors.

about. There were reeking quagmires
and damp places and stagnant pools
on all sides, and the old church itself
seemed to be sinking into the swamp.
Thus, in fact, Ravenna actually is
sinking. 1t is not merely that the
level of the ground of the town is
rising, as ground levels in towns nor
mally rise; but the buildings sink into
the soft alluvial soil by little and lit
tie, and have thus sunk from the day
they were built. The process is a
very slow one, but likewise very sure,
and it cannot be stayed. Already in
the wet seaso of the year the
OF the old churches stand a foot or
two deep in water, and that although
the floor level has been raised as
much as three or four feet, so that
the bases of the columns are buried.
The older the church the deeper it
lies in the ground. Some have been
dug out and surrounded by a kind OF
walled moat; but all this only post
pones the inevitable ultimate end,
Ravenna is, in fact, a dying city, and
has been dying slowly ever since the
Lombards came and drove out the ex-
archs Of the emperor of Byzantium a
century or so before Charlemagne lib
Grated the pope from Lombard op-
preston.
Once Actually on the Coast.
At an earlier time Ravenna was
actually on the coast. The Roman
port was only a mile or two away, a
relatively shallow port in the midst OF
lagoons, which were continually being
silted up. That port, however, vas
the best then available for ships OF
war, and it's site, now miles inland,
still bears it's ancient name, Classe.
Descriptions of Classe tell US of its
great basins and quays, its noble
streets and houses, it's many churches
and m~onasteries. We likewise learn
from them of the noble venue of
stately buildings which led thence to
Ravenna itself, where was the splen-

tude vocal with memories of great
men and great doings long ago. Tho
spacious marble floor is divided by the
two great ranges of columns, noble an
tique monoliths of veined marble
standing upon sculptured bases which
are not buried. The simple apse, en-
riched with mosaic, is all the more
splendid in effect because so much
else of the walls is bare. An ancient
altar Of small dimensions is in the
midst of the nave. Another, sur
mounted by a remarkable ciborium OF
sculptured marble on spirally fiuted
columns, fills the east corner of the
north aisle.
