1000 STARVING ARE
SAVED BY AMERICA
Red Cross and Navy Get Food
Supply to Isolated Island
of Madeira.

America has saved the several thou.
sand residents Of the island Of Madeira
from threatened starvation. The story
of how she came to the aid Of the lit
tie colony situated OF the coast Of Az
RIGA and cut OF from It's normal food
supply through the ragaves Of Ger
man submarines, unable to obtain
any help from Portugal, It's mother
country, Is one Of the most interest
ing Of the smaller tales of the war.
Residents Of the island Of Madeira.
which prior to the war was an object.
I've Of many tourists. depend almost
entirely on the outside world for their
food supplies, consisting principally
Of corn, rice and Goldfish. The number
of food ships reaching the island has
grown steadily less In the last year,
with the result that the people have
had to practice the most rigid econ
omy to keep alive. They had money
to purchase what they wanted, but
other countries could not spare the
ships to carry 1t to them. The sinking
Of a food ship bound from Africa to
the island about six weeks ago brought
the affairs Of the colony to a crisis.
They were facing starvation.
Word Of their plight vas sent to the
Red Cross headquarters In Washing
ton. Red Cross officials took the mat
ter up with the state department and
notified the latter that the Red Cross
was prepared to advance $4,000 for
supplies II they could be obtained In
Portugal and that country could trans
port them to the island.
Portugal said 1t had neither ships
nor corn to spare.
About this time the navy department
through Admiral Niblack arranged
with the governor general of Morocco
to let the hard-pressed islanders have
500 tons Of corr with the understand
ing that the amount taken would be
replaced by the American Red Cross
through shipments from this. country
to France.
The United States shipping board
provided the space for transporta-
ton Of the corn and a Red Cross rep
re~sentative Is accompanying the cargo
to assist In its distribution. In the
meanwhile arrangements have been
made with the navy department for
the shipment Of 1900 tons from here
by the Red Cross on a navy transport.

St. Winnitred
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
a legend OF St Winnlfred. 1t is one
OF the many thousands of those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefs that have at
tached themselves to the midwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
II is related that st. Winnifred, great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree it was blasted by sudden
whirlwind. Close beside II was
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
of the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
10 reported to have spoken as follows
to the pagans
This little tree, a young child of
the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. 1t is the wood of peace. for
your homes are built of 1t. 1t is the
sign of an endless life. for its leaves
are always green. See how 1t points
toward heaven Let this be called the
tree of the Christ Child. Gather about
IT.; not in the wild woods. but In your
homes; there 1t viii shelter no deeds
of blood. but loving gifts and acts of
Kindness"

OF the northern regions. became the
holy tree OF the converted pagans. and

thoughts 1t stood for they decorated 1t

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
NICE soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of KnOwlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair--sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair ut once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft,s glossy and beautiful in just
o few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. ADV.

MADE THE WORD MEAN MUCH
All the English Pretty Bulgarian I'm
derstood was London" but She
Gave II Decided Expression.

1t is curious that the name London
Is more generally known the world
over than the name England Is. In
commercial circles London" stands
for most articles of English manufac-
ture. II all the East 1t represents ma
ton. The author of Under the Red
Crescent" who was a surgeon of the
Turkish army in 1877, found that in
the near East, no farther away than
Bulgaria, London" served to Identify
him. 1t did even more than that
In conversational way, as he tells US
In his book
My first landlord-who was land
lord In name only. for of course 1
never paid him any rent-was a Bull
garian, he says and his daughter was
one of the few pretty women that I
ever saw In Bulgaria. Conversation
with her, however, was restricted by
our Ignorance Of each others Ian
guage, for I knew scarcely any Bull
garian, and the only word of English
that she could say was London"
Whenever / saw that girl she would
show her white teeth with charming
smile. flash her big, black eyes, and
with beautiful irrelevance calculate:
'Londonl"
Whether she knew what London
meant | cannot say, but her limited
vocabulary expressed more in It's way
than the gushing phrases of many more
brilliant takers.
When she said London" with
bright air Of welcome and a frank
smile as 1 came home at night tired
out with my days work, knew that
she meant Good evening, doctort I
hope you haven't had a very hard day
today; and see, here is your toast
and coffee ready"
When she uttered the word with
backward turn of the head and with
pretty glance as she passed out OK
the door, 1t was very evident that she
was really saying: Good night now,
doctor Pleasant dreams to you, and
| hope a Russian shell won't find you
In the morning. Compan-
