Victory for Auto Owners.

After fighting for 15 years against the admission of automobiles to the island, Nantucket voted recently in favor of motor vehicles. The contest was one of the liveliest the town had had in many years. The final vote was 336 in favor and 296 against. The mat ter came up on the question of accept ing an act of the legislature, repeating an act of 1914 forbidding the opera ton of motor vehicles. The election was of more than local interest, for a considerable part of the opposition to automobiles had come from the large summer colony that goes there from many parts of the country.

(By Helen Clay Frick.)

With me-with us all-is the inspi- ration of the refugee Train. Memory of the sight of 1t influences everyone who has been over to wish to go back again. Twice day such train ar rives in Evian, bringing a company of six hundred refugees, olod nen, broken women, children old before their time, and always on the platform as the train pulls in, are three buglers'
 Weep for Joy.
 The poor, broken people file out of the train crying, "Vive la France, and with tears streaming down their faces, so great is their joy at being once again in their own country.
 The buglers lead the way, the crowd follows, the townspeople turn out to cheer them and together they all march to the Casino, where the refu- gees are welcomed by the mayor.
 On Sunday and Monday only one convoy arrives, but the program is all ways the same; the buglers are at the station and the mayor gives hearty welcome twice each day. Who but the French could do this? Who else could understand that to each return ing Frenchman and FrenChwoman, the cordiality of such a welcome, to some degree, throws into the background the weary months of bondage under German rule?
 No French people are allowed to re turn directly into France from occu pied territory. First, they are takeI to Belgium for two months so tha anything they may know cf German defences may be of no importance tt the French government from Belgium they are sent to Switzerland and thel they are sent across the border t.

Three Kinds of Sweet odora

Sweet odors are of three kinds-the floral, the aroTHal and the balsamic. The first group includes all those de rived from sweet-smeIling flowers and plants; the second, those derived from musks and resins; the third, those de- rived from leaves and gums.

Saccharine,

As none of it is absorbed by the blood, diabetics are allowed to use saccharine instead of sugar. But.sac- charine has been accused of causing grave troubles to the digestion and it has even been indicted as a cause of cancer. The best medical opinion, however, acQuits it of these charges, for there are many diabetics who have used 1t regularly for many years with out any i'll effects, In France saeehar- inc may not be given to infants, the aged and the sick without a doctors prescription,

Coal in .caucasus Reaion.

While peasants were recently dig ging a well near the village of Tzar- idvor, in the Ressen valley, in the Caucasus, coal was found 16 feet from the surface; the vein, however, was but 2.25 feet in thickness. Enough coal has already been found in this particular locality to supply the entire neighborhood, and in all probability there are other and greater deposits not yet located.

Evian. There the Minister of the In terior directs them to their destination.
 Our work consisted of helping these people after they had been placed in their homes. All who were able were urged to do farming. When we visit ed them in our motor truck we always took garden implements and seeds with us, for every scrap of land must be cultivated.
 Children Pathetic.
 The children of tha district are so pathetic. They all show the ef- fleets of mal-nutrition, and they seem to have left their childhood far be- hind them.
 Very soon the Red Cross is to open a home for thirty or forty little girls who are suffering from mal-nutrition at Chaney, in the Ain, which is a. lit tie village overlooking the Rhone val ley. The ages of the children will range from four to fourteen,
 It is hard to realize how greatly the children have suffered.
 One little girl, when told 1t was again meal time, exclaimed: "Oh I'm llOl luu6IgS l 4ldAl 5OlllCl1llI16 lO S<1sA yesterday"
 The women who are not strong enough to work in the fields are en- couraged to knit. The French Gov ernment furnishes the wool and pays franc for socks and seventy-five cen times for gloves. It is not very much money, but it helps,
 One of the important things which the Red Cross is doing it's it's distribu- tion of furniture, It sells a great deal of furniture at two-thirds the cost, on the installment plan, and to those unable to buy, it lends to the Commune according to a certain sys- tenn.
 How Red Cross Helps. | Repatriates on their arrival in the l little villages are in many instances housed in large cantonments or un- used buildings. Sometimes as many as 300 are crowded together. The Red Cross has been very successful in persuading the French officials to place these people in individual lodg- ings which the Red Cross helps tc furnish.
 Pathetic little stories are told ot many of these repatries. For instance one poor, old man landed in a little village only to find that he had beer separated from his old wife. She ha6 his sack of clothes and he had hers.
 Through the medium of the Red Cross, the wife was located and wher we made our second visit to him, we found him at the railway station foul hours before the train was due, clat in a new suit furnished by the Rec Cross and eagerly awaiting the arri val of his wife.
