ECONOMY.

Let US consider some Of the inter
estins subjects of the present day.
There are many of these subjects.
which We might discuss. as peace hap
piness. Christianity, etc. but economy
is :he ore that we need to discuss to-
day.
Economy. one Of the greatest needs
OF the world to-day. is !ust wha. L
lacks. Perhaps We do not realize j.
but we are continually wasting some
thing that wc should be saving.
The food that we waste. II saved
might feed n'anv little children who
arc now GyinE of Starvation. We also
dispose OF our clothes before they are
thoroughly worn out. We misht use
our fucl. gas. etc. more sparingly and
share with he needy ones around us
There is still a more imrortnnt thing
which We all waste. God gives us
our time to use and He does not cy-
no employment OF our own we should
assist our friends in their attenlpts
Perhaps we may say that our friends
have no employment. but If we nut
forth an effort we can always ind
something to do
OF course 1t is sin 10 waste at
any time. hut it is still worse to-day
Our country needs nothinc moro thrn

all be more economical. SO IN The fu-

Bundles
(By June Lucas)

\Dy JUNE LuCdS)
"Why don't you check those bundles
here at the station?"
It was dark, rainy night last
winter at Evian. The evening con-
voy of homeless people were stumbl-
ing by us dragging their heavy
bundles-dropping them now and then
sitting on them to rest, but going
pluckily on down the dark streets
again to the brightly lighted Casino
below.
Every new Red Cross worker asked
that question, but if you stayed long
in Evian you found your answer. You
could not separate those people from
their cruel captivity. And that is
what we must not forget for another
year or more-the pathetic "bundle"
resources of thousands of French
women.
No oaken chests filled with treas
ured stores, left under the warm
thatch from which to draw in their
great need; no clothes Of fathers
left to cut down for small Pierre,
none of grandmother's linen-the dow
er Of Marie! Oh, the many, many
stitches, where is it now-the neat
piles of snowy linen, the big feather
quilts? Oh, the ache of it all!
In some ways, in the little homely,

two cents of each dollar of the mil

management of the greatest relief
program the world has ever known.
For each dollar contributed by the
American people for war relief work
more than one dollar and one cent is
expended for that purpose, the extra
cent being provided by interest on the
funds. These are two of the strik-

report of the Red Cross covering the

honey ways, this winter will be worse
than last. The bundles that seemed
so large have dwindled, and there are
no ways of replenishing. 1t is dis
heartening to the thrifty French house
wife to have nothing laid by, no
chance of helping some one worse off
than yourself-just a small bundle to
represent her years of love and care
for that cottage home and her man
and little ones.
Of course an empty larder is worse.
You can live without the old chest
under the caves. That is, your body
can live, but l wonder about the spir-
it. Longing hath tender pain than
grief or fears; 'tis the sweet touch
of little things that bring the tears. +"
Those bundles have a tremendous
power Of hurting. They will suggest
all their owner once had. Often, last
year, in a refuge where women and
children would be- crowded temporar-
lily, you would see some treasured bit
of the past that broke your heart.
Little things-the little worn-out
shoes of the first baby son-one
woman entered Evian with those in
her bundle-of no use, Of course, but
they were part of her, deep part of
her that would help to carry on.
In all the chaos and devastation; in
the midst of the rejoicing that vic
tory has come, stand those pathetic
bundles-row upon row-all that is
left to thousands Of women, Of their
home life before the war. And those
bundles call to us American women
with a choking appeal, like wounded
soldiers Scared by the battle line;
they call us to bind up their wounds.
Every American woman who has
worked for the soldiers is COM
mandeered to make a garment for
those homeless owners of bundles. We
cannot bring back to life the loved
villages, the shady avenues, the oaken
chests, the safe chimney corners; but
we can fill the sagging bundles tight
er with treasures money cannot buy.
