UNLESS you act these thousands of
women will be condemned for the rest
OF their lives to an existence of hope
less drudgery and hardship.
"For humanity's sake help these Eu-
ropean women. They are your sisters,
even though you have never seen them
''Six months training will educate
the blinded men dependent on them In
trades not requiring sight. Even your
single donation alone will go far to
ward enabling one of these sightless
men to support himself and partly sup
port his family for the rest of his life.
"These women stretch appealing
hands to you from across the ocean.
Make at least one Of them permanent
ly happy and her husband, father or
son permanently useful by sending us

"The sooner you act the sooner one

rescued from an existence of despair
and crushing slavery and the sooner
the man who Is tragically anxious to
support her will be saved from life OF
uselessness and hopelessness."

ASK AID FOR BLIND
Call Upon American Women to
Help War Victims.
PLAN TO TEACH THEM TRADES

Unceasing Activity OF American People
In Their Efforts to Alleviate Suffer-

New York.-.The activity of the
American people in their efforts to allie
viate the su1erlngs in Europe has re-
suited in the saving of the lives Of
many persons who were on the verge
of starvation and the receiving of PM
found thanks from both victims and
rulers of the belligerent nations. Their
unceasing work will long be remem-
bered Money and supplies in large
quantities have been sent to both sides.
One of the latest steps taken by the
sympathizers of the allies is an appeal
issued by the II. f. b. british, French,
BelgiaD) Permanent Blind Relief fund,
with headquarters in this city, over
the names of Lady Arthur Paget of
the funds executive committee and
honorary secretaries, calling upon the
women of America for aid. The appeal
says in part:
thousands of wives, mothers and
daughters in France, England and Bel

bands, brothers and sons, blinded In
the war, are helpless and hopeless.
They cannot see to work at their for

are now obliged to assume the entire
burden of supporting them and their
children, of supplying all their daily

FOX IN PORCH SWING.
Apparently Found Cushion Comfort

Apparently Found Cushion Comfort
able Sleeping Place.
Duarte, Cal. - When G. A. Werner
opened his house the other morning he
found his swinging seat occupied by Il
full grown fox. With the cushion for
nest the fox was resting comfort
ably and evidently enjoying his quar-
ters.
When his presence became known
the members of the family came troop
ing out TO see the porch climber, Then
the fox disappeared under the house,
where his nature prompted him to hide
until the Spectators left the porch,
when, finding the coast again clear,
the fox gracefully jumped on the
porch ana into the swinging seat, and
with an almost human air OF comfort
and satisfaction adjusted the pillow
and settled down TO complete the
morning nap.
When again interrupted the fox dis
appeared and Seaded for the moun-
| tains.
