some was used for relief supplies The
total value of the supplies shipped to
the entente allies countries was ST.
10000, while the value of similar
supplies shipped to the central powers
was $S5O,OOO.
The difference in the figures is ex-
planned by the fact that for more than
year, because of British and French
blockade measures shipments to the
central powers has been impossible.
Arrangements now are being made
however by which the Red Cross will
be permitted to send medical units
of physicians and nurses to take
charge of a number of hospitals in
Germany and Austria Hungary. Each
unit will have charge of a hospital
containing six hundred beds
Red Cross officials recently have
begun to consider the part America
will take in the period following the

question of food and shelter and eX-

DO Not Like Flour.
The people of Armenia have little
knowledge of the use of flour and do
not like it. The Red Cross consulted
Armenians in the United States, de-
termined just how their countrymen
liked their wheat and then had mills
crush it just as the Armenians do.
The cottOnseed oil is sent in place of
animal fats which are not eaten in Ar

informed that olive oil was consid-
cred highly desirable but the cost was
prohibitive and cottonseed oil was
substituted.

The curb rein, that last refuge of q
poor horseman. hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was dressed in
well-worn whipcord breeches, short
coat soft hat and close-fitting boots
adorned with rowelless spurs For
his health Red Hill had done wonders.
His body was trim, supple and as vi
brant as the young horse under It.
But Alan's thoughts were far from

Long lane was yelled from view by
overhanging trees. As he lifted his
hand, its impress, clearly defined as
an image. caught his eye. How strange!
He had ridden a thousand times and
he had never noted such a thing be-
fore. 1t was simple when reduced to
physical terms. The horse was warm
and moist, the hair cool and dry. His
hand pressed the hair down into the
moisture. But when he had reasoned
out the why and wherefore and tick
eted the phenomenon, the impress still
stared back at him. To his mood It
seemed an emblem of isolation, thing

smile of rebuke at his fancies he
touched the horse with his crop and

her shoulders were braced; she leaned
slightly back, steadying her horse with
q taut rein. Alan tried to draw sven,
but every time he urged his horse into
q squirt Clem's spurted too. Alan grew
angry. He watched Clem's whip, but
It never moved. He settled into the
saddle and rode blindly. His horse
must catch up or he would kill him.
He was gaining. A moment more at
the same pace and he could reach
Clem's reins below her horses neck.
Then Glen swerved again into q half
hidden wood-road and Alan's horse
plunged through the brush, broke out,
and followed, poor second.
Alan's face and hands were badly
scratched, but he rode on doggedly. II
never occurred to him to give up the
chase. In the end he would catch up;
he knew that, but what puzzled him
was what he should do to Glen when
he caught her. Anyone else, man or
