Luginbuhl was anxious to buy wool

It In Germany where he could get m

pathized with them and would helm
supply them with garden tools and fur
niture and to get work for them.
Reducing housekeeping to its very
lowest terms, the American Red Cross
delegates decided that each family
must have beds enough for everybody,
a table, a chair apiece, a stove. some
thing to hold water and something to
cook in (there is n wonderful French
utensil called Il "fait-tout," In which
you a pretty nearly make every.
thing), a fork apiece, n plate apiece,
and one knife for the family. These
furnishings are lent to the poorer fam.
lilies. Those who can pay. buy furni-
ture on a subllmated installment plan
$1.25 dowL and small payments ac-
cording to income every two weeks
until two-thirds Of the cost price Is
reached. when the furniture becomes
their own.
The delegates may be able to cure
the physical needs Of the refugees, but
they have to contend always with the
terrible inconsistencies Of an uprooted
people. More than anything else in
the world, these homeless people want
to return to their own flresides; and
FOR the time being, that Is tragically
impossible. They must be made as
cohtented rs possible in their new
communities. Furniture offers ono
means. gardens another. rabbits a
third. Many Of the people have been
farmers on a small scale 50 that a
few feet Of ground on which to raise
soup vegetables OIL potatoes makes
them in~ordinately happy. The village
furnishes the garden and the Red
Cross supplies tools and often seeds.
But rabbits are the browning glory.
They represent almost the only form
of meat these people ever have: they
can be kept in very small quarters, fed
on grass gathered by the children and
they multiply with pleasing rapidity.
Where 1t seems that a rabbit will be
specially appreciated, the delegate
gives money enough to buy 1t to tho
mayor OF the village and asks him to
do the purchasing.
So 1t goes. Sometimes the gifts Of
a spade or a hoe or some wool or
stockings sometimes hundreds OF kilos
