Activities Of United Charities in Feb
ruary, March and April
VIII Long Be Re-
membered.
PRIvATIoNs ARE MANY
Effect Of High Price Of Junk is
Shown In Increase in the
Juvenih Court
Cases.

The following report of activities
of the United Charities for February,
March and April has been made to
the board by the secretary, d. A.
Glascoff:
February, March and April will
long be remembered by many of our
citizens as months of privations and
hardships. Not only is this true of
those who have come in contact with
the United Charities, but many others
who have just been able to pull
through this period and now are COM
PEELED to ask for assistance. The
problems confronting the United
Charities have taxed 1t to its full
capacity and have overfowed. In
some families hunger had been the
common bed fellow Of the children
as well as the parents until we were
able to chase it through the timely
assistance given by our many friends.
The combination of the war across
the waters and the lack of employ
ment here has done much to warp if
not break the moral fiber in many
homes. Junk has brought higher
prices this year than for a long time.
This has led many to enter this line
and as conditions became crowded
the temptations to take what one
could get his hands on became great
err The moral effect of this Is seen
in the juvenile court cases that have

Knowles in devotion to the mstifI1-
ton" he said. "She met all of the
obligations of life and fulfilled the
one great law of righteousness-the
law of unselfish and loving service.
Let US take into our hearts the les
son Of her life as our example. Let
us strive to fulfill that great law
Let us not think Of a friend conc TO
an unknown realm Of life-no III can
come to those who lived according to
the law of righteousness"
W. M. Dickinson president Of the
alumni association of The State uni
versity, representing that body, of
which Miss Knowles was a member,
spoke next.
He wished that he might paint a
picture of Miss Knowles as she work
ed in the hall of the State university
to stand as an example TO those who
follow. He told of her zeal for the
Institution and of her activities as a
member of the alumni. Miss Knowles
was the first president Of the asso-
citation. then consisting Of seven
members.
Rev. H. S. Galley delivered the
formal address of the services He
spoke of his personal acquaintance
with Miss Knowles. He depicted her
home life in the community and Xix
ened it to the life of the Savior.
To-day" he said. I'VE stand face
to face with a soul that lived for us.
We see the vision of Eloise Knowles
going about the halls. We ought To
have joy in the realization that that
soul has gone to its rest. We should
be happy that she has come to her
freedom in some other life"
He said that the life of Eloise
Knowles should be an inspiration to
the young men and women of the in
stitution today. He spoke of her life
as one of friendship, love and
peace" He then lead the assem-.
blage In prayer for peace to the soul

Alan smiled. 81 know what your

Kemp was standing In angles. His
hands were thrust in his trousers peck
cts, but even so his elbows were
crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail. He was coatless as usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
Stetson hat was pulled well down over
his eyes. His eyes had taken on the
far-away and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
was about to speak from the heart.
"Mr. Wayne" he said. "I've toP you

At Pernambuco Alan found an ac-

too big to get into the little harbor be-
hind the reef. She rode the swell a
mile out from shore.
Alan lost no time in making his

basket. AS he left the wicker coop

Brownina's Peculiar Eyes.

Browning's eyes were peculiar, one
having long focus, the other very
short. He had the unusual accom-
plishment (try it and prove) of clos
ing either eye without sQuinching and
without any apparent effort, though
sometimes on the street in strong sun
shine his face would be bit distort-
ed. He did all his reading and writ
ing with one eye, closing the long one
as he sat down at his desk. He could
see an immense distance. He never
suffered with any pain in his eyes ex-
cept once when as a boy he was try
ing to be a vegetarian in imitation Of

Germany and Her Waterways.

Although Germany has three times
as many miles of railway in proper
ton to area as the United States, she
has spent hundreds of millions of
marks in the enlargement and improve
ment of her waterways. What the
statesmen of Germany think of the
importance of the waterways is shown
by the fact that in the midst of the
greatest war in all history, when the
empire is fighting for its very life,
they are not only maintaining and
operating the waterways they already
have, but are actually building more.
