Red Cross

The Red Cross War Council
mas received the following report
from Red Cross Headquarters in
France:
AS an example of activities in
behalf of the civil population of
France, we have established a,
temporary childrens' shelter at
foul, city in a section of the
-Srar zone recently bombarded by
the enemy.
"Gas bombs were being used
by the Germans and the inhab-
itants Of the nearby villages were
Obliged to wear face masks to
escape asphyxiation. This mode
of protection, however, is not
feasible for children, and it was
found necessary to send the
children away at once.
The project of the Depart
ment telegraphed to a worker at
Paris that $50 children had been
suddenly thrust upon his hands
and that he needed immediate
assistance.
THE next day eight workers
left the Red Cross headquarters,
a doctor, an experienced nurse,
two auxiliary nurses, a bacteri-
ologist, an administrative direct
or and two women to take charge
OF the bedding, clothing, food, etc.
"They found that Fl of the
children were infants under one
year and the remainder were un-
der eight years. They were
herded together in an old bar
racks, dirty, practically unfur-
nishel and with no sanitary ap-
pliances. Sick children were
crowded in with the we'll and skin
disease and vermin abounded
Within two days the children
had been thoroughly cleaned anC
transferred to a new and clear
barracks. Medical care had beer
AgiVSn and nurses secured for the
- les, suitable food provided
and a classification of all the re-
fugees made to prevent the sep.
aration of members of the sam,
family. The organization of az
institution for the care of these
children has been worked out.
The French Government has
provided a new brick barracks o
ten buildings, situated on a hill
side mile from Toul, and will
furnish coal, water light, rougl
labor, beds and bedding, ration
and transportation of supplies.
THE Red Cross is to direct tn
work of supplying doctors, nurse
and administrative officers, an
OF installing sanitary apparatus
Twelve shower baths have alread
been set up. Supplies are bein
provided for recreation, educa
ton and the vocational training
of children.
1T is expected that four o
five hundred more children wi
come in the near future, and tn
Red Cross is planning to increas
its staff to care for this number
The children will be kept here a
long as conditions remain sue
that they cannot return to thei
homes"

Mary Rddy Memorial NJ Auburn csmsts Cambridge Mass

The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy. the DiscoYerer and Found
er Of Christian Science. has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board Of Directors by Ebert S. Bar
low Of New York City who held the
contract for its construction.
The memorial, which Is at Mt. Au-
.burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass. has
required over q year and a half to
complete. The fund for its construc-
tion, amounting to over $4,000. was
arst announced by the directors In
June, 1911, and was some time ago
fully subscribed. These contributions
have been made as expressions Of
sentiment by Christian Scientists
throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial is
located is not only one Of great nat
ural beauty, but on account OF Its
grade has rendered possible = more
picturesque and interesting treatment
architecturally than would be possi-
bic on q perfect level lot. The plot,
which is approximately 80 feet square,
slopes gradually from the level Of

ECONOMY IN The DAIRY FARM.

il is commonly believed. by those
not familiar with the policy of COW
testing associations, tnat these assO-
Citations always stand for pure bred
stock They usually do so stand, es-
pecially after the first years work,
because the superiority of such stock
is almost always shown clearly by
the operation of the dairy scales and
Babcock tester. The owner of a
grade herd has nothing to fear if he
can show a good profit for his cows.
Indeed, some of the most profitable
herds in the country are grade herds.
but they have been usually made pro-
ftable by the use of pure bred sires.
Even the scrub herd will find its
friends if the profit can be proven.
but the trouble is that there are very
rarely any profits from such a herd.
In this connection the doubt may be
expressed whether under present con-
ditions. or under any conditions. a
dairy herd can be kept just for the
sake of the manure The value of
manure cannot be over estimated, and
the more of it we can get the better
off we will be. On the other hand,
it must be remembered that much of
the labor of keeping a dairy must be
used whether a large amount of the
milk is produced or not, and that the
stock well fed gives higher grade of
manure. A man often deceives him
self by thinking that there is only one
grade of manure; thae everything that
can be fed will give good manure.
This is true to the extent that any
manure may be called good manure,

To the Women of Delaware:
An urgent call has come from Ma
tional Headquarters for all the sur
gical dressings, hospital garments
and hospital supplies that our Della
ware chapter can send. They are
needed as soon as possible. The per-
sonnel of six co American Red Cross
Hospitals has already been called for
foreign service and must be fully
supplied with equipment; and Della
ware must do her share.
In this emergency we call out every
woman in Delaware who has the i'm
pulse to aid the Red Cross and en-
list in this work.
The material will be provided by

The material used for the memorial
is Bethel white granite. the inscrip-
ton in the frieze and upon the top OF
the pylons being Of white bronze set
deep into the stone work. The detail,
which on account OF the size OF the
reproduction Is only indicated, Is en-
tirely floral IN form and free In treat
ment, the wild rose and the morning
glory being used as the main motives.
Il is interesting architecturally to
note that while It Is extremely free In
treatment and not at all conventional.
II is generally very classic in feeling.
The extreme width Of the memorial is
about fifty feet, and the colonnade i8
eighteen feet in diameter. The col
umns themselves are fifteen feet in
height and are similar in general
character to those in the Clepsydra
Of andronicus OF Cyrrhus. The large
pylons were exhibited at the Ameri-
can Institute OF Architecture in New
York a short time ago and experts
pronounced them the finest pieces Of
carved granite ever executed.

"a, NJ ANHgE5lhu De round TO deter
mine the actual market value Of man
ure, as measured by the amounts Of
plant food contained, the scrub-prO-
duced manure would usually get a
rather poor rating, merely because
scrubs are usually fed on feeds that
simply cannot produce the best grade
of manure.
A common objection to high pro-
ducing cattle Is that they eat a great
deal of food They do, but they pro-
duce enough milk and usually more
than enough, to make good the differ
ence in cost. Even the best bred COW
cannot produce milk out of nothing,
although there is undoubtedly a diff
ference in cows with respect to their
ability to make milk and butter fat
on a given quantity of feed. The bus
mess man does not hesitate to invest
additional money in an enterprise If
he knows that It will bring in returns
to pay for itself. and no more should
a dairyman hesitate TO feed more
feed. even at present high prices. if
the records show that his cows are
able to make good use of such feed.
The records of every COW testing
association contain plenty of instanc-
es of saving feed and labor more than
sufficient to pay the cost Of member
ship in the association. 1t is safe to
say that not one dairyman in Sussex
County would lose money if he were
to become a member A rather unus-
al instance of the increase in value
of dairy products that may be expect
ed when cows are examined with
scales and tester has been brought
out in the records of a certain assO-
citation in Sweden The records Of
this association cover ten years. and
in the tenth year there were 639 cows
on test SuppOsing the same price Of
feed and the same value of product at
the beginning and end of this per-
iod, the cows at the end were produc-
ing products valued at S1S,154 more
than the same number of cows would
have produced at the beginning, or
S2S more per COW.
