lund said 'tbut very seldom One do recall only during my experience, and that was private. It IS the officers who are so brutal; the privates are some times kinder. That young German sol dier that 1 mention was trying to aid a wounded English soldier from the field, As he passed his officer, the command was given to drop the English boy. The German boy refused to do so, and his officer shot him dead. The boy ex- claimed as he drew his last breath: I am willing to die just to show the world that all Germans are not bad; there are a few of us who have a heart and are not harbarans.f Oh, you cannot im- agine the German attitude. I once asked some German soldiers before the war started, when I was in their country, why they didn't raise their hats when their national air was played. They re- piled: We do not have to do so; we might do that when God is mentioned; but then the Kaiser is our god. We all know that, so why raise our hats?' It is all the terrible result of German kul- tur-imperialism, autocracy.
 After six weeks in Belgium, I went aboard the hospital ship. the Caris
 brook" Mrs. Westerlund said, bound for tho North sea. We were sent to those waters because of severe skirmsh-
 ing around in these parts, and there l ended my three months work, which was as long as a Red Cross nurse could enlist for at that time. I only say this in conclusion, if the good American people only realized the suffering, the poverty, the needy condition of the wounded soldiers on the other side, and of the splendid work the Red Cross is doing, feel sure that they would be amply repaid for their already generous support of the work and would gladly contribute anything and all they can to it's maintenance, for soon it will mean first aid for American soldiers as we'll as those of other allied nations"

for moment in the sunshine. Nurse Moore who went over to Belgium with me, was in charge of this patient, but she had stepped out for moment, so when he called me l assisted him to get across the room into the sunshine. Just as I did so, bomb fell straight through on the bed where he had been lying. It took it's course on through the floor of the building, and but for the fact that it ended in a great melee of slush and mud, every one of us would have been killed. Just the hand of Providence saved lis and that alone"
 In speaking of the German atrocities, of which Mrs. Westerlund really hates to think, of which she is loathe to talk, they are so brutal and so unspeakable, she related one incident which is so typi- cal of the German hatred and the Ger man brutality, that I canont refrain from repeating it.
 This same Nurse Moore" Mrs. Wes- terlund said, "of whom I spoke just now, was the victim of one of the most fear full pieces of German treachery I have ever known. You know, it matters not what nationality a man is, if he is brought in off of the field wounded, we must attend to him first. We are his hosts, in other words. He is our guest. It happened that a young German sol dier and two French soldiers were being attended by Nurse Moore. She stopped to give the German soldier drink of water-of course, attending him before she did the French soldiers. He drank the water heartily and as she laid him down she turned to administer to the two young French soldiers. As she raised the head of one of the boys on her arm and was just about to give him drink of water, the German soldier raised himself and shot her through the back. She died with the young French soldiers head on her arm.
 Occasionally there is an example of decency and humanitarianism on the part of a German soldier" Mrs. Wester-

t-1T7jHROUGH the woman's committee
 of the national defense the
 members of the food adminis- the United States the following in structions.
 "One wheatless meal day! Use corn. oatmeal, rye or barley bread and nonwheat breakfast foods. Order your bread AS hours in advance so your broker will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table only as re- quired. Use stale bread for cooking, toast etc Eat less cake and pastry
 Beef, mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish At the meat meal serve smaller portions and steak instead of steaks. Make made-dishes of all left-overs. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price
 eThe children must have milk. Use every drop. Use buttermilk and sour milk for cooking and making cottage cheese. Use less cream. Butter is es- sential for the growth and health of children. Use butter on the table as usual, but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use of fried foods. Soap contains fats. Do not waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats.
 Sugar scarcer. We use today three times as much per person as our allies. So there may be enough for all at reasonable price Use less candy and sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar i'll putting up fruits and jams. They will save butter.
 sCoal comes from distance and our railroads are overburdened hauling war material. Help relieve them by burn ing fewer fires Use wood when you can get it.
 Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too lit- tie green stuff. Double their use and improve your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all sun plus garden products.
 "Patronize your local producer Dis tance means money. Buy your perish able food from the neighbor nearest you and thus save transportation.
 Buy less, serve smaller portions; preach the gospel of the clean plate; don't eat 8 fourth meal; don't limit the plain food of growing children; watch out for the wastes in the community; full garbage pails in America mean empty dinner pails in America and Eu-

San Diego, Cal, July B-(Special) Theosophy may mean much to you. Or nothing Or something in between. You cannot have escaped hearing of it. And probably you know that upon Point Loma, which encircles one-half of San Diego bay like a fat, tapering arm, is located the Theosophical homestead, headquarters of most remarkable body Of men, women and children.
 I knew that much. I also knew that Katherine Tingey was founder and head of this brotherhood, and that to her leg dership the whole unique undertaking owes it's existence. Beyond that my g- norance was flawlessly superb.
 I had heard Mme. Tingley referred to as ''The Purple Mother" And I didn't like it. That and other things I had heard savored of unaired studies in Greenwich village. And of dingy adven- lures in necromancy. My imagination ran wild with the bit in it's teeth.
 l pictured tropical spot of unearthly beauty inhabited by weird personages in peaked hats and robes on which the signs of the zodiac were painted. l feared I should not be admitted to the presence of Mime. Tingley Or if I were, that the purple atmosphere and mystic ceremonies attending my audience would reduce me to the state described by few escaped visitors to the forbidden city in the days of the Chinese dowager em- press. 4
 ESOTERICS USE PHONES
 I'm, eyir ExrGo brisk telephone message came saying. Mime. Tingley's car will call for you at 3:20. Mme Tingley hopes you will remain for dinner, for the play she is putting on in the open air Greek theatre thls evening, and for the night at our guest house."
 The car, a plain, sleek limousine was upholstered in purple. This alarmed me some-until I saw the chauffeur. There is nothing psychic, esoteric,. occult, cos mic, mystical or purple about Herman. He is just a big, good-humored German who knows how to drive. And he wears regular clothes
 As we approached the Homestead grounds, man in a well tailored suit of olive army cloth swung wide the gates and we entered-another world. Not an alien, uncomfortable, spool1ish
  sunshine land of waving palm trees, vast blue ocean and dazzling flowers-flow- CTS of all nations, just as the Theoso- phical Homestead is a home of all na- tons. Twenty-six lands and several races are represented in one harmonious family.
 But 1t was not the blue and gold Pa cific and the flowers and the richness of trees and shrubs that fascinated me, for that is mere California. It was the buildings and their grouping, and the uncanny way they fit into the tropic landscape. They are of creamy concrete with domes of opalescent glass squares surmounted by dome-ettes to match.
 The larger building is octagonal, with sort of minarette-thing here and there This is the Raja Yoga college with stu dent dormitories. Its dome is of a pale translucent green.
 The smaller building is circular, with graceful, spreading steps embroidered with ivy. This is the Temple of Peace and it's dome is of purplish pink.
