pressing them, or by drying them on
No II sock stretchers.

across the rib so as not 10 interfere with
the elasticity of the knitting under the
label.

We are all familiar with the picture of
devastated Belgium, and the story of the
sufferings of the people of this brave little
country have touched the hearts of the
people of America deeply. But according
TO the stories of eye-witneSses the plight
of Poland is infinitely worse: yet we hear
less about the sutferings of the Poles, ,tor
they are separated from us by distance
and the barrier formed by the armies OF
Germany and Austria.
With her ancient kingdom divided
between Germany, Austria and Russia,
the Poles have been forced to fight under
the three flags of armies which are oppos-
ing each other; and surging back and
forth over the devastated land which
once was Poland, they have been forced
to fight brother against brother, and to
destroy their own well-loved land at the
bidding of foreign masters.
Belgium is near enough to neutral
neighbors to receive little help IN the
care of her refugees and the provisioning
of her country under the control of the
enemy. Poland is surrounded on all
sides BY warning nations that have not
sufficient supplies for their own people,
and who have stripped Poland OF the
little that she is able TO raise.
The Polish Reconstruction Committee,
group of Americans under the presi-
dency of Mime. Laura de Iurczynowlcz,
have been organized to raise funds for
work in Poland after the war. The need
of training reliable agents TO carry out
this work has caused this committee to
unite with the War Work Council of the
Young Womens Christian Association
for the recruiting and training of q group
of Young Poish-American women IN
America. to be known as the Polish Grey
Samarltans.
This work is under the direction of a
JOINT committee of which Mrs. John r.
Mott is the chairman, composed Of Ameri-
can and Polish experts in social welfare.
In order TO train the largest possible
number of women for this important
work two courses have been instituted.
The first, known as the Polish Probation
ers' course is open 10 all Polish girls and

MAKING Excuses.

He is only bum. He has been a
member of the down-and-out club for
years. He began by making excuses.
And he is making excuses still for his
parasitism on society. If the world
had given him chance as it has given
other men, he declares, he would have
accomplished things. But the world
has never given him chance, and he
sees no prospect now for future of
any consequence. This excuse he Of
fers, despite the fact that the country
is calling for men and women as never
before in its history.
Few men appreciate the harm that
comes to their careers from making
excuses. They are wont to attribute
their failure to hard luck. Luck at
times breaks against men and their
undertakings. But If those who have
failed will look back honestly into
their careers, they will see that they
themselves are to blame for their fail
ures. The excuses they offer are mere
salves to their own egotism and lack
of perseverance.
