AMERICAN RED CROSS
 EXTEND HELPING HAND

WASHINGTON, September 30.-
 The appointment of Edward T. De- vine, professor of Social Economies at Columbia University in New York and one of the leading social workers of the United States, to the position | of Chief of the Bureau of Refugees and fHome Relief, under the American Red Cross Commission to France, is an nounced today. A cable just received by the Red Cross War Council in Washington from Major M.-P. Mur- phy, head of the Commission, reports that Dr. Devine is to be in charge of all relief work outside the city of Paris. The cable is as follows: 'In the various departments out side the Seine there are some 85O,0OO refugees embracing all classes and ages except able bodied men. Altho employment at good wages is general, these refugees are nevertheless in an unfortunate condition because of the complete i513 of their possessions when driven out of the invaded terri tory. They have since been living in excessively congested quarters and, necessarily, under very unsanitary conditions.
 ''The Red Cross hopes to aid the authorities to lessen this congestion by supplying furniture to those who in this way could move into better quarters, by completing buildings all ready constructed, and even by fur nishing portable houses of cheap con- struction, when necessary, as a tenn porary makeshift.
 Tt is proposed to establish, in con- nection with the French authorities, health centers from which useful work can be done in such way as fully to conserve the self-respect and inde- pendence of those who accept it. There are many voluntary agencies, as well as public relief authorities, through whom the Red Cross can give assistance.
 "Dr. Devine's immediate task will be to coordinate those agencies and arrange for constructive relief for tohse victims of the War who cannot yet be returned to their own homes. Later it is hoped that there will be
 undant opportunity for them to be re-established in the busy and fruit ful regions in which they lived before the War"

 Here is proof of their merit.
 G. A. Yocum, retired carpenter, 721 Cloverdale St., Seattle, Wash, says: Hard work such as lifting heavy timbers strained my back and weak ened my kidneys. I had pains in the small of my back and soreness across my kidneys whcih made it hard for me to stoop over or pick up anything. The irregular action of my kidneys annoyed me day and night. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the pains and aches, took away the soreness and regulated my kidneys"

1t is hard to please woman. If he
sticks around the house every nigh,
his wife has no use for him, and il he
goes out every night She has no US,
for him.
The average mans ambition wher
he start. out is to have enough money
by the time he is so to retire and take
it easy, And by the time the average
man reaches the age of 50 his ambition
is to keep from borrowing money dur
ing the week so he will have full
weeks pay coming on Saturday.
A man likes to be called Brother"
by a member of his lodge. But he
hates to be called Brother by a mem
Der of his church.
The reason why man wants you to
do all the listening while he does all
the talking is because he realizes that
he knows twice as much as you do.
The skeletons may occupy closets in
winter. But a lot of them occupy

Many a married woman who doesn't

Father is happy when he is having

4 CHANCE FOR A sUNKEN GARDEN.

THIS CITY owns many acres OF parks. Some OF them
are yet unimproved but their ownership assures lot
Of Fairgrounds for succeeding generations Some OF the
parks are improved and the children get abundant enjoy
ment from them every fair day in the year Everyone
hopes that may be able to add to the park area before
inside property becomes so valuable that small parks IN
thiekly settled sections will be prohibtve.
There is rough piece OF ground we'll within the city
which should be acquired The day Will come when
the will become valuable not account OF It's topog
raphy which is bad but account OF its location, near
the corner Of Twelfth stree, and Mckinley avenue II is
the property which was formerly used brick yard has
recently been drained and is quite the most unsghty spot
within the city limits.
But
While this property is unsghy, it Is admirably adapted
for conversion into sunken garden one OF the finest
types of park development which can be devised Kansas
City has number of them San Antonio has one that is
famous. Several California cities possess them and they
are delight to the people who take pleasure in rambling
about in the rough places,
Now then, if Colonel Blank the oil millionaire, would
take notion fine afternoon to acquire that deserted
plot OF ground which comprise, about four city blocks,
and would into sunken garden he would confer
blessing on the little children who constantly looking
for more places in which to play,
And il Colonel Blank. the oil magnate would dedicate
this property after improving It, to the city, OF course the
commissioners would promptly designate the park with
the donor, name causing a monument to live forever
monument far superior any shaft Of granite or marble
that could be erected
The old abandoned brick yard that is located we'll within
the residence section is apparently Of value But it is
an asset as sunken garden Probably hi, property can
be purchased at low price As building site it is not
attractive In Its present condition it is detriment to
adjoining property There vacant lots fronting it. but
no one would wish build fine home there while the
great hole in the ground remains unmproved
II ever there section Of this city which needed
improvement 1t is the old depression which formerly
used as the plant Of brick establishment In general
determination to create city beautiful feel
satisfied with the job until that old brick property has
been put the hands Of landscape engineer to be made
spot Of beauty II the city is not able at this time to
exploit the ,unken garden for which this ground is ideally
suited let hope that Colonel Blank the successful petro
eum operator may make up his mind to acquire the tract
Of land and create q unit of our magnificent park system

soulful men don't walk with me around

all are selling shares in patent folding
