ARMENIAN RACE Is
FACING EXTINCTION
Few Who Are Left Will Perish Unless
Relief Fund Is Rushed
From Ame,ica

From America
Below is the latest word regarding.
| the situation in Turkey. 1t comes in
a letter to the chairman of the Ameri-
can committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief. The writer is speaking
of only one relatively small section of
the field of need. His suggested
$4,000 must be multiplied many
times to enable the committee to
describably great. .
I'VE cannot impress upon you too
strongly the need of prompt action
if the remnant of the Armenian
people is not to perish. It seems a
horrible thing to sustain them thus
far and then let them die through
neglect. 1t is possible that your COM
mittee think there are not means Of
distributing relief since the ambasL ~
sadOr came away but | want to as
sure you that it is not SO. There are
members of the American embassy
force still in Constantnople and are
working with and through the Swed-
ish legation which now has charge
of American interests in Turkey. They
may be relied on to see to the wise
and careful distribution of all funds.
The banks here have correspondents =
IN COnSIdnllHCpIS- SO the IunQS sent
here can be transferred by wire and
become Immediately available.
I'VE do not think our missionaries
remaining will suffer bodily harm, but
living conditions are growing steadily
worse and they must have large in
crease in funds to make up for the
high prices of food. They can all do
relief work if they have the money
and we can get the money to them
but not unless your committee re-
spends to urgent appeals of our COM
mittee. In each station which our
people have left they have arranged
relief, so that funds will not be mis-
applied, and there are yet thousands
of Armenians who have no place to
look for help but to the American Mis-
sionaries or their representatives. If
they are sustained they will form the
nucleus for a strong and helpful ele-
ment in the country when the time OF
reconstruction arrives, as their recup
erative powers have proved wonderful
after every previous massacre
I'VE want to make it as clear as
words can do it that at least $3.50
600 per month is still needed for re-
lief work; that the ConstantinopIe >
committee will be able to forward Il
to the field and will see that none of
it is mis-applied; that the customary
distributing centers in the interior,
are, with unim portant exceptions. still
supplied with sufficient force FOR
making the distribution as usual"

RUSSIAN CROPS FAVORABLE.
Prospects in 20 Districts Classed as
Satisfactory.

Petrograd, Aug. 1.-According to
local reports to the ministry of sup
plies. dated the beginning Of July, the
condition of crops in 20 governments
including all western and central
Siberia, is satisfactory, IS govern
ments mixed, two governments uncer-

tory.
The report of the International
bank says that rains in south Russia
have improved both winter and spring
crops, giving reason to expect par
ticularly good harvest in the dis
tricts between Kharkov and Melitopol,
also the district on the coast Of the sea
of Azov. In the Volga provinces con-
ditions are mixed. In the southwest it
is generally expected the crops will be
above average.

SIDE + ...... TALKS I. A!
RUTH CAMERON
All Tommyrot, and Yet
BY RUTH CAMERON

The other day, on the trolley,
| two seats down.
! He had an aquiline nose, excellent
teeth, bright dark eyes, heavy brows
| and iron grey hair.
| It is a type I always admire.
I felt sorry I couldn't know him
And I wondered how he happened to
have married Gas he evidently had)
the fat commonplace looking woman
beside him.
And then suddenly I had a revul-
ton of feeling.
Why Did 1 Want to Meet Iron Grey
Hair and Straight Nose:
Maybe he's just as commonplace
as she is [ reminded myself. why
on the face of the earth should we
base our desire to know people or
our interest in them on the fact that
their hair or eyes are a certain shape,
or their teeth even?
When you can for few minutes
shake off this delusion of the impor
lance of personal appearance, You are
simply astounded at the power any
thing so unimportant has over almost
everyone.
Good Figure May Mean Good
Health
Even the power Of the form to at
tract seems more logical and sensible
for a good figure may at least mean
good health.
But the shape of the features, the
color of the eye and of the hair, how
can one place such weight on them
If it were a question of expression
and of lines, that would be a totally
different thing.
That's the soul and character look
ing out through the face.
We do we'll indeed to notice express
sion. That means something. A dis
contented mouth, pleasant humor
lines about the eyes, facial lines that
all slant up, a mouth that droops at
the corners, a restless rowing eye,
these are all good or bad signs in the
matrimo nial weather bureau.
We Marry the Color of an Eye or the
Shape of Nose.
And yet it is only the few who notice
them at ALL
At least, not while they are young.
Someone has said one reads book
for the story when one is young for
the characters a little later, and when
one has fully matured, for the COM
ments, the touches Of philosophy.
So, in the face, we notice color first,
then shape, and only after we have
matured do we begin to notice the all
important signs Of character
After all, isn't it a wonder, not that
young folks marry as heller SHELTER as
they do, but that they don't make a
worse matter of it.
