SELE-SACRIFICING
SUBURBAN WOMAN
OFFERS HER MITE

Pathos and humor are blended In
many letters that come TO Y NJ. c. A.
war work headquarters in Washing
ton from persons who wish to help
Uncle Sans men in uniform.
One that touched deeply secretaries
At headquarters. because it shows the
reaction OF the great war upon a
person OF restricted resources, was
received last week.
The writer lives in a Washington
suburb. Her letter is considered al
most a little classic in its naive ex-
preston OF a desire to help. She
writes:
mot long ago saw a notice where
they were asking for books and mag
azines for the soldiers and sailors. 1
haven't many books, but / got to-
thinking 1 would like to help along
the boys who are going to tight our
battles over there

three children and an old aunt who
have come TO us as next in relation

L
because we have four children Of our
own besides the two nephews and
nieces, all under sixteen, and II takes
all we can get to feed and clothe
them, so I tried to think OF some
thing I could do, and then I thoughts

Nov, want to offer you some La
dies Home Journals for your read

from 1904 to 1918. except one years
numbers, which I let the Salvation
Army have.
you know there are complete
books in them, such as Mother Car
ey's Chickens and Katherine Green's
famous detective stories and a lot OF
others I have forgotten and some I
did not get time to read, besides the
copies Of famous paintings.
Saved for Children
"Tsaved them TO have for my chill
dren when they got larger. but they
are getting more all the time, and I
saw by the papers where some Of the
soldiers had asked for the journal, so
then I got to thinking of all those
had in the attic.
Now, IL you want them. Just drop
me 9 card. and will get them all to-
gether. and then you can send for
them. A few might have the outside
covers torn, but 1 have taken pretty
good care OF them. II you accept
them, there Is one request I wish to
make-that is, that they be kept al
together and in proper form, so that
the stories can be read and each sue
ceeding chapter can be had, and IL
kept in order and returned properly
when read I see no reason why they
should be all mixed up, do you? ri

Traced by Laundry Mark.

Perhaps the most striking instance
on record in England OF how laundry
marks assist the police was that Of
the Yarmouth beach mystery, when
the mutilated body of woman was
discovered on the western shore Of
that, previous to the war, popular sea-
side resort. Over 400 laundries were
visited by the police to discover the
ownership of the linen found on the
body. It was traced at last to small
hand laundry ut Woolwch, whittier Il

Twelve hours later the dead woman
had been identified, and her husband,
Herbert John Bennett. was In custody
charged with her murder.
lie had, as he thought, obliterated
every clew. He had persuaded the
woman to stay at Yarmouth under an
assumed name. He had Also by suspl.
ciOus pretenses, got her to hide her
Identity in every possible way; and
he had decoyed her to the beach at
dead OF night and there strangled her
silently, swiftly, secretly-while pre-
tending to cnress her. But he over.
looked the existence Of that one little
telltale laundry mark-whch brought
him to the scaffold.

Mysterious Lake Tehad.

The natives Of the surrounding coun
try reverence the Lake Tchad. in AZ.
RIGA, and It's island Inhabitants. They
believe that great snake lives below
the lakes surface, and commands the
worship Of the race Of island dwell
ers. Some even think that these snake
worshlpers live within the lake. The
island folk are doubtless glad of u
legend which protects them from at.
tuck so effectively. Unfortunately for
them, foreigners are not SO gulllble
and adventurous travellers are the more
cnger TO push on to the lake after
hearing the warnings Of the fear-struck
natives.

WORDS OF WISE MEN
