EBE w. TUNNEL

The life, character and work of
Ebe w. Tunnel were such that his
influence made an impress on his
county and State. Quiet and un-
assuming, he represented we'll, the
best of that type of gentleman
known as the Old School, fast
passing away. And such as we
and our children can we'll emulate
to the good and welfare Of today
With the sadness that comes with
the passing of character such as
he, there comes the beauty Of a life
we'll spent in the interests of his
fellow men. Touching our life but
slightly we are yet proud to have
known him and to have seen the
good that comes from a quiet
dignity of Man.

Miss Laurette Taylor :,
In "Happiness'

Miss Laurette Taylor comes TO
the PLAYHOUSE Friday and Satur-
day in a brand new play, ana Oh
course, in brand new part.
"Happiness" is the name OF the
play and it is a quaint comedy by
] Hartley Manners who is MISS
Taylor's husband and playwright
in ordinary. The role is that OF a
little dressmaker's apprentice
named Jenny who is poor, very
poor, in all the things that most
people regard as riches but who is
rich, very rich in such qualities as
courage, steadfastness, humor and
devotion. It is a part that suits
Miss Taylor's personality precise
" and it will no doubt be one OF
the most popular creations of her
repertory.
Klaw & Erlanger and George c
Tyler have surrounded their gifted
young star with an exceptionally
fine company for the production Of
this piece. O. P. Heggie the Eng
| lish actor, we'll remembered for his
remarkable performance in Jus
tice," "The New Sin," "Androclei
and the Lion" and other plays
heads the list which also includes

GIVE US MEN

God give us men. The time de-
mands strong minds, great hearts,
true faith and willing hands; men
whom the lust of office does not
kill; men whom the spoils of office
cannot buy; men who possess
opinions and a will; men who have
honor; men who will not lie; men
who can stand before a demagogue
and damn his trecherous batteries
without winking; tall men, sun
crowned, who live above the fog in
public duty and in private think
ing! For while the rabble with
their thumb-worn creeds, their
large professions and their little
deeds, mingle in selfish strife, 10!
Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the
land, and waiting justice sleeps.

Death is nothing-after all. The
Great thing-something greater
than all else is the giving away of
ones self.
Vision. Some people have it and
some are blind-wise, practical,
blind. 1t is the willingness to give
ones self to a cause. 1t may be to
a woman, or to a principle of
craftsmanship or to a religion or
to country, or to an ideal. But
every man should have something
for which he is willing to die-for
which he will, when the call comes,
die with a grunt of willingness
and a smile. Without this type of
man the world, with all it's wisdom
and organization, and plans and
comforts, is a world which is a
nasy craven.

Red Cross Brings Comfort
To Belgian Children

Several hundred Belgian chill
dren, now living in the danger
zone, close to the fighting lines,
are soon to be established in safe
and comfortable quarters in a
colony of their own, a dispatch
from Paris states, by the American
Red Cross, which is preparing GER
tain places in Belgium.
Here the children will have COM
forts which they have not known
since the Germans overran Bel
GUM, and in addition will be
under competent teachers, who
will pick up the broken threads of
their education. Six thousand
Belgian children already have
been sent to homes in various
parts of France, and there are
many more who are being shelled,
bombed and gassed almost every
day and should be taken away to
safer quarters.
The new Red Cross colony is be-
ing established to meet the grow
ing demand for refuge on Belgian
soil. There are several reasons
| for this. One is that the Belgian
authorities like to hold together
what is left of Belgium as much
as possible. The wonderful hos
pitality of Allied countries is APP
preciated, but the sentiment is
strong for the retention in Belgium
of as many people as practicable.
Another very vital factor is the
fact that mothers are reluctant to
let their children go so far away
that they cannot visit them. To
meet all these demands the Red
Cross is establishing the colony in
the safest place available in free
Belgium, where it will be possible
for parents to see their children
often.
Education will be in the hands
of nuns, but numerous advanced
ideas suggested by the Red Cross
-, will be included in the curriculum
{ One thing which has pleased tn
little Belgians has been the intro
duction of Institutional games il
! homes. A short time ago a car
load of games was sent to the Bel
gian asylums in France and bene
fetal results were noted immed
ately. The same system will b
employed in the new colony. Tn
>, idea is to interest the children i
- sports which will not only anus
- them, but train them mentally an
9 physically.
The Belgian authorities are gil
al ing the heartiest of support to tl
If Red Cross. The Queen is deep,
is interested in the new work and
lie making a special study of Anne
IN lean educational methods. A pls
e. for the establishment of war
err houses, in which reserve foodstuf
in may be stored, is being worked o
rapidly. Three sectional war
houses have been set up alreat
Is- and six more will be on the w
id from Paris soon. A considerah
d. amount of food has been purchs
ed for the rainy day store.
