ones should be accepted. Nothing
shorter in the foot than a full ten
inches should be sent nor one
longer than 13inches. Moreover
the socks should be we'll proper
toned, j. e.. they should not be
larger than the standard in one
place and smaller in another.
Measurements should always be
made with a ruler and not a tape

Columbus Name Perpetuated.

Cristobal-C Colon, the joint city of
Colon in the republic of Panama, and
Cristobal in the canal zone, is the
Spanish. name for Christopher Column
bus, the first a who sought an all
water route across the isthmus, in his
quest for a new path to Asia. But
history shows that Columbus never
bore that name while living. He was
born of a family known as Colombo"
and when he entered the Spanish serv-
ice he changed his name to "Cristobal
Colon" yet we insist on calling him
Columbus" The Panaman and
American cities of Colon and Cristo-
bal, situated at the Atlantic entrance
to the Panama ,lnal, are so named in
recognition of the great explorer, and
a massive bronze statue representing
Columbus presenting before the court
of Spain n of the native Indians of
the new land he had discovered was
erected many years ago on the sea
front of Cristobal-C Colon, and still
stands as a monument to the memory
of n of the worlds most intrepid ex
plOrers.

Two English officers, accompanied

American soldiers in France can re-
celve but one Christmas package each
this rear and each package must
weigh not more than three pounds, AZ
cording to regulations announced by
the war department. Boxes for men
in the navy, however, may weigh TWEEN
ty pounds.
The regulations governing Christ
mas packages for soldiers have just
been completed after conferences be-
tween the war and p~ostofice depart
ments and the American Red Cross.
THE men themselves will decide
who is to send these parcels. They are
now receiving Christmas parcel labels
with instructions to mail these labels
to the person in this country from
whom they wish to receive the holiday
box.
No Christmas parcels will be ac-
cepted for shipment after Nov. 20.
The cardboard boxes or cartons to be
provided for these parcels are 3 Inches
by 4 inches by 9 inches in size. When
packed, wrapped, and ready for mail
Ing these boxes must not weigh more
than three pounds"
The American Red Cross has agreed
to provide these cardboard boxes and
to supervise their distribution to rela-
tives of the soldiers who present the
proper Christmas parcel label creden-
tials. The following is an outline Of
the procedure to be followed by per-
sons planning to send one of these par
GELS abroad:
On receiving n of these Christmas
parcel labels it should be presented at
the nearest chapter, branch. or aux
Hilary headquarters of the Red Cross,

These labels are not expected to reach
this country before Nov. l, but by
that time each Red Cross branch will
have its allotment of boxes, based on
the number of soldiers in service over
seas from that community.

TAKE THEIR REST ON FLOOR
Russian Peasants Have Beds That Are
Costly, but Tney Do Not slum-
Der on Them.

In the home of a Russian peasant
Denis Garstin discovered the great
bed, according to the Youths Com
panion.
The room, says Mr.. Garstln, was
small, scrupulously tidy and covered
with ornaments. The walls were en-
tirely hidden with ikons-some 30 Of
them-sacred pictures, cheap litho-
graphs of the czer, czarina and their
children, calendars decorated with
saints and lovers, and crude photo
graphs of their own family taken at a
fair. But by far the most imposing
article, dominating over all in the room
and insisting on all observance, was
the bed.
1t was q massive creation in itself,
made still more imposing by layer on
layer of bedding and mattresses and
pillows reaching high up the wall and
covered with black and red embroid-
cred counterpanes. 1t was a monu-
ment of Russian peasant responsibility
rather than a suggestion of any repose.
l a marveling at it when the baba
returned, laden with thick potato
pasties and wine and fruit. We sat
down to eat and my companion ex-
planned who we were and gave the mes
sages. The old woman nearly en-
braced us in her ELUSIVE welcoming.
A boy was sent to call in the husband,
who vas out on the hillside gathering
fagots. A little girl went toddling
down the village to round up all the
relatives she could find, and soon we
were the center of a crowd of rough
peasants, who tried to cover their shy
ness by pressing US continually to eat.
The husband, a shock-headed old
peasant, came last. His wife poured
out all the news to him, referring every
moment to us for confirmation of each
detail, and whenever we said truly"
to her remarks he turned his hat round
In his hands and said: 'Thank God,
but eat and drink some more"
"You have a very fine house." 1 said
to him. He stared at me, puzzled by
unusual "you."
"Yes," he said finally, struggling in
to the plural, 1--WE have. Tell Lukyan
he must come to visit us with every
one. There is much ROOM"
"But only n bed?" l said.
Again 1 puzzled him. "Yes," he said,
"there is a bed, of course"
My companion nudged me. mo one
sleeps in a bed" he whispered.
The bahia, glad of any reference to
that piece of furniture, had stripped
off the covering. "See," she said, zone,
two, three, four-15 mattresses. That
is enough for every one, is it not?"
"They all sleep On the floor" said
my companion. "My grandfather used
to, too, when he vas staying in the
country"
