THREE MILLIONS DESTITUTE
Women of Belgium and Northern
France Must Have Help Dur
ing Winter.
APPEAL TO UNITED STATES

NEW YORK. Nov 16.-"ONer 100000
persons in Belgium and northern France.
mostly women and young children, must
be clothed and shod by Christmas. II the
garments and shoes for these destitute
people are not forthcoming at once, their
suffcrings during the winter will become
desperate"
Such is the note Of an urgent appeal,
issued TO the people Of the United States
by the commission for relief in Belgium.
The New York committee has received
from Herbert Hoover, chairman Of the
commission. the following statement:
1T appears 20 me that Il is necessary
for us to go frankly to the American
people and ask them to clothe the desti-
tute I'm the occupied areas of Belgium
and northern France during the coming
winter.
There are 100000 people in these areas
and of these over one-third are now
wholly or partially destitute. and are to
day receiving their food either wholly or
partially without payment.
"As you know. we have set up economic
measures. based on tho ability of a por-
tion of the population. to pay for its food,
which, with the contributions of other
countries. enables us for the present to
find the bare minimum of food supplies
for the whole 100000 people. but we have
no reserves with which TO provide cloth
ing for the destitute. We now plead for
help on their behalf.

Even IL these 100000 people had
money they could not import clothes, or
the raw materials with which to manu-
facture them. through the blockade into
an area under military occupation. While
the better classes have some clothing
with which they can get along, the des-
titute are composed of the working
classes which naturally had little re-
serves of clothing when the war broke
out. The only additions they have re-
ceivod since then have been the generous
contributions from America. Canada and
elsewhere. BY Christmas time all the
clothing which we have i'm our various
establishments will be exhausted.
ut is a certainty that the undue ex-
posture of UNDERGRAD men. women and
children to the bitter winter will greatly
increase mortality. The clothing for
these people can be provided only II we
receive gift supplies for the purpose. We
must depend upon the American people
I'VE have arranged that the cost of
transportation OF clothes from any CEN
trail point in the United States to Belgium
and northern France and of the distribu-
ton will be paid for out of funds which

In the southern story told in pic
ture form in William Fox's "a Tor
tured Heart" which will be shown at
the Palace today, Virginia Pearson,
that southern beauty of FINLAND, has
just the role which BELTS her beauty
and dramatic acting. For the tale
unfolded in "a Tortured Heart" is
filed with all the wholesomeness of
the southland and the beauty of Dixie
all of which is impersonated in Miss
Pearson, whom noted artist has
termed the most perfect American
type of womanhood."
When the noted stage and film
actress arrived at Savannah she was
so happy to be back "in EiXie" that
Director VIII S. Davis had much
trouble in getting her to do her work,
but once started Miss Pearson put Il
soul into her acting which is plain,
ly noticeable in the film. For Miss
Pearson is a daughter of Dixie, born
and reared in the genuine old south
ern fashion on her fathers plantation
near Louisville, Ky.
Near Savannah the exterior scenes
of the picture play were taken in
order to get the proper southern seen
cry and atmosphere. The interior
parts had been filmed in the Will
liam Fox studios about New York
City, where the best interior lighting
facilities are obtainable. Genuine
old English furniture such as was
common in southern homes "'fore
tn war" is seen in the indoor scenes.
The exteriors are just as genuine with
old fashioned bower gardens and ne
groes of the Tragedy" type.

The happy medium" is found in
house buff partly of some material
which may be considered as included
in the first class and partly of some
more endurable material which falls
into the second class. Even then the
selection is not limited one, for there
are many pleasing combinations of the
natural and manufactured stones with
the various forms of wooden material.
A design is illustrated which may be
placed in the "happy medium class.
The exterior of this substantial story
ard-a-half home is finished in rough
natural stone up to the tops of the
first floor windows, from which it is
carried up with shingles under the
gables. The chimneys are of brick
capped with rough stone. The broad,
gracefully sloping roof is shingled. The
rafters have their ends exposed and
the projecting ends of the purlins are
supported by heavy triangular brack-
cts. A large number of windows
break up the wall surface and add to
the general finished appearance of the
exterior. The useful porch, set back
under the roof, with its solid stone col
urnns, is pleasant feature. The en-
tire exterior is well balanced and can
be made very beautiful by properly
trailing vines and planting shrubs.
In walking through the various
rSo1ns of the house one is impressed
in much the same manner that obtains
upon viewing the exterior. Good sub
stantial construction is evident in
every detail. The door leading from
the front porch admits the observer
into hall from which the stair to
the second floor leads off to the right.
A feature of this hall is the long seat
built along the wall next to the stair
case. This seat will be found very
convenient and may be built to hold a
large quantity of stored books or
music in it's lower part, thus relieving
the living room of the clutter of this
material.
On the left Of the hall, through a
cased opening, is the large living
room. The fireplace is seen against
the opposite wall upon entering. Tx
posed timbers in the ceiling finish are
in keeping with the general plan.
Three large and four smaller windows
furnish ample light for this room. At
the rear of the living room are two
handy tiers of bookcases built into the
distinctive entrance to the dining
room.
This dining room is really a model
of colonial design. Exposed timbers
cut the ceiling up into large and small
panels, furnishing the possibility of
unique arrangement of the lighting fix
lures. A large buffet extends across
the entire end wall of the room. Three
easement windows are placed over this
buffet and three more windows of
larger size are set into the other wall.
Double doors are placed in the en-
trance to the living room and to the
