How to Tell a True Mushroom

ut almost invariably grows In rich,
open, breezy pastures. in places where
the grass Is kept short by the grazing
Of herds and focks. It never grows in
wet. Doggy places, never in woods or
on or about stumps Of trees. A true
mushroom is never large in size: its
cap very seldom exceeds 4 or inches
In diameter. On being cut or broken
the flesh remains pure white; the cap
has frill; the gills are free from the
stem; the spores are brown-black or
deep purple-black in color, and the
stem solid or slightly pithy."

ORPHANS
OF WAR ADOPTED
Appeals Bring Response From
Washingtonians, Who Pledge
Financial Support.
SOCIETY HOLDS MEETING

Several little French war orphans
were adopted" as the result of fervent
appeals made by Mrs. Archibald Hop
kirs and by Miss Florence Schofield
and Miss Elinor Fell. representing the
Fatherless Children of France. branch
of the American Society for the Relief
of French War Orphans. at meeting
held yesterday afternoon at Eauscher's.
Ten cents keeps a child day in its
mothers home.
Three dollars keeps child
month in it's mothers home.
"Thirty-six dollars and fifty cents
keeps a child year in its mothers
home.
seventy three dollars keeps child
two years in its mothers home"
Such was the appeal made by the two
Englishwomen who came to this coun.
try some time ago to urge support or
the work this year.
What France Is Giving.
i. when we came to Washington we
knew we had met America. declared
Miss Schofeld. praising the ready re-
Spouse of Washington parents to the
France She outlined the suffering of
the soldiers of France and their appre-
hension for their children. and how
France is giving both her men in the
trenches and the children of the coun-
try in order to win the great battle Of
civilization. the speaker said.
There are 100000 French children
who must be taken care of, else they
will weaken and succumb to tubercu-
loSts. and then spread the disease to
other children of France.
America is building herself a monu-
ment in the lives of the little children
it has adopted" Miss 'Schotield declared.
Both this speaker and Miss Fell dwelt
upon the duty of the American people
to adopt" as many of the war orphans
as possible. because of the ancient
friendship between France and America,
the lasting debt which the world owes
France and because of the fact that to-
day France. with the allies, is fighting
the battle of civilization and democracy
Purpose of the War.
This war is not a war against the
German people, the Germany which
gave US Beethoven" Miss Fell said
but against the Germany that believes
IN might. This latter Germany is the
Germany which cannot live among
civilized nations
Canadians who die in hospitals in
France and England, Miss Fell said, do
not say, II going to heaven They
say. Il am going west" They have moth
ing to hope for from the east.
The speakers told many pathetic stories
of the orphans in France, and the devo-
ton OF the mothers, touching the hearts
of their hearers At the conclusion, fol-
lowing an appeal from Mrs. Hopkins. who
presided. many came forward and pledged
themselves to do their bit" for a little
orphan.
