Pink Tea Workers Barred.

The head of the eanteen depart
ment of the National League for Won.
ems Service has requested all pink
tea" members to resign from her d.
vision. II would rather have one de-
pendable woman than one thousand
who can't work because they have an
engagement to play golf or because 1t
is their afternoon at home," she re-
marked. according to the Worcester
Post.
Red Cross workers and war work
ers of all types are up against the
old-age problems of organizers--how
to weed out the Indifferent and ineffi-
cient worker, the person who enthusl-
astically enrolls under every new
banner, attends few meetings, throws
a monkey-wrench or two into the Or
ganization machinery--and disappears
until q new "cause" or a brighter
banner fiaunts into view.
Such women are obstacles In the
progress of any cause with which they
see fit to play.

"up Aqain!"

When we were little Shavers, tod
ding about the house and went down
on the floor or the ground because our
feet could not keep up with our am
bition to run and "get there" right off !;
grandmother, a lovely old down East
lady, would sing out to us: "Up again !!
Never mind! That didn't hurt you
Up again!" So up again we would
jump, all the hurt gone, just because
grandmother cheered us to try it over
again, writes Vincent in Farm Life
Sam Jones has had the luck of ba0
crops two or three years. Things have
seemed against him. But he has been
as brave as lion. No frost can ever
come that froze the smile from his
face or withered the hope in his heart
And he is right at 1t this year, just
as if he had-had the best of luck all
through the years.
But I wonder who of his neighbOrs
has been down to sing out to Sam:
"Up again, old man! This is all right !!
You'll come out all right-can't help
itp t
I don't know of anybody that has
had time to look up from his own hoe
ing and plowing and digging long
enough to do that; it's shame, too!
Come on! Let's go down right now
and cheer Sam up bit! Maybe we
can give him a lift at the work, too.
All the world will be the brighter for
1t after that-to Sam and to you and
to me, writes Vincent in Farm Life.

RED CROSS CARE
OF SOLDIERS


While Uncle Sans soldiers have
been travelling to camps and canton
ments all over the country, the Red
Cross has been busy proving that the
boys in khaki never lack friends no
matter where they 60.
More than thousand chapters have
organized 'refreshment units," which
make business Of serving light re-
freshments-coffee, sandwiches, and
the like-at the railroad stations In
their home towns when the troop
trains 60 through.
Many chapters also stamp and mail
letters and post cards for the soldiers,
and send of their kilograms.
In town Of less than 1900 people
in Iowa. the Red Cross chapter served
light refreshments to over $500 men
In about two weeks times. Twenty
four hundred homemade cookies and.
ten bushels Of apples were donated for
use In single day.
When the selective draft men left
the town every man took pound box
Of candy, made by someone Of his
neighbors, with him. For another de-
tachment. the Red Cross loaded the
cook car with enough sweet corn, ap-
Piles and tomatoes for two meals for
the whole trainful Of soldiers.
During one full day Of "a hours (f0r
the chapters are ready night and day)
the Red Cross canteen workers served
homemade apple pie to 1.142 men, and
every man got quarter of piei

goldfish for Trench Soldiers.

The Goldfish army is no dream. It
arrives in the trenches somewhere In
France at the rate Of 100000 pounds
week. On it's strength of "two
breakfasts and one fish dinner" Cana"
dian and British "Tommies" are kept
up to their working mark.
Canada herself is helping to solve
the food problem by having two fish
days a week-Tuesdays and Fridays,
notes correspondent. With this
great demand for fish the Nova SEQ
tia fisherman suffers neither fog, nor
rain, nor ice, nor snow, nor darkness
nor submarine to interfere with his
task of supplying the dominion and the
empire with fish in quantities never
paralleled in history.

WEATHER CHANGED HIS VIEWS,
New EngIander Allowed Blowing Over
of Church Steepie by Hurricane to
Influence His Wedding Plans.

The recent destruction by fire of q
certain ancient New England meeting
house has set the villagers to retelling
an amusing anecd0te connected with
it's partial demolition nearly a CEN
tury ago, when it lost Its steeple In q
hurricane, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
Deliberate and cautious lovemaking
figures in many tales of rural New
England; but surely In none of them
does the hero show less impetuosity
than the Amos Of this story showed
For ten years he had courted his pa
tient Eliza; at last he had proposed.
had been accepted. and the wedding
day was set. 1t dawned unpropltious-
ly, with a bowling gale blowing, which
increased hourly In violence. At the
appointed hour. nevertheless, the
guests gathered at the home Of the
bride and waited for the bridegroom,
but he did not appear.
The storm was truly terrific; indeed.
the meeting house, just across the
common, had already surrendered Its
steeple with tremendous crash. The
bride became hysterical and her broth
ers began to look worried. OmInous
whispers ran about that if. the great
elm in front of Amos door had blown
down 1t must surely have crushed In
the whole front of the house; perhaps
Amos was killed or pinned under the
wreck.
At last a party of anxious volun-
teers started forth. in the teeth Of the
tempest, to investigate. When they
reached the farm the elm was still
standing, and on the threshold, very
much surprised. stood Amos. He had
supposed that Of course the wedding
would be postponed. r M

NERVE OF boobies
Police Display Thoroughness
That Astonishes ColoniaIs.
London Of Today a Marvel, Forming
One of the Most Important War
Centers of Entire World.

A Rhodesian who has arrived in
England to "jOin up," after service in
the three campaigns undertaken by
the South Africans, assures me Of his
astonishment at the tact and thor
oughness exhibited in the daily work
of military police, says a writer in
Westminster Gazette. The London of
today is, indeed, never-ending mar.
vel to the colonial soldier. 1t forms
one of the most important military
centers of. the world. 1t is inhabited
by floating population drawn from
one of the most cosmopolitan armies
in history-an army, too, that is in no
way remarkable for the gentleness Of
it's fighting methods when the games
afoot. Yet, as my South African
friend phrased it, "the whole mob
goes about on it's business and its
pleasures like a small flock of con-
tented sheep with couple Of we'll
trained dogs behind them."
Things were not always managed
that way in the early days of the
forces raised by the dOminions in the
first year Of war. My informant Illus
trates the contrast with ON incident
that came under his notice while his
regiment lay intrenched at Swakop-
mund during the German South
west campaign. One morning the
men Of the Union advanced posts saw
approaching them from the desert
three living skeletons, who staggered
like drunken men as they CROPPED
their way blindly through the fur
mace of sand. A comrade lay help
less a mile or so behind, too far gone
to walk. He was brought In later,
unconscious, but still alive. The four
heroes-captives in the hands Of the
Hun-had preferred the chances Of
death to the grim certainty of a cruel
and CALLING captivity, and had man
aged to escape from their jailers un-
der cover Of darkness. Practically
without food and, for the most part,
without water, they had Travelled
some hundreds of miles-from one
end of the vast territory to the
other. Almost naked, the ice-cold
winds of night had crippled them. hum
ger had robbed them of their
strength, and thirst had all but driven
them to madness. They had escaped
'by the skin of their teeth" from
both vengeful Hun and prowling lion.
And an officious military policeman
greeted them on their arrival in the
British lines with the order that they
were not to loiter in the streets OF
the town!
