MEMORIAL FOR CON. HELCESEN

A few days ago in the house Of representatives at
Washington, time was given for memorial exercises in
honor OF the late Congressman H. 7. Helgesen of North
Dakota. The three members from this state delivered
appropriate addresses, and many others followed with
words of appreciation Of the departed member.
Congressman Lobeck of Nebraska devoted 4 para
graph Of his address to the Scandinavian race from
which Mr.. Helgesen sprang. On this Mr.. Lobeck said:
They came with empty hands. Most Of them were
poor. but they had a faith in themselves and in God.
They turned the virgin soil to the sun; they plowed, SOW
ed and reaped: they built homes, humble in.the begin
ming, but which became in later years the very best In
our country. They did their part in building towns and
cities They went into the lumber camps Of the north

A%MERICANIZINC THE
RUSSIAN CHURCH IN
THE UNITED STATES
Organization Incorporated at Al
bany to counteract Boil
shevik Doctrines.

New York, March 1s.-with a. view
to A~mericanizing the priests and
members of t h Russian church in
this country and to counteract the ef-
feet of the Bolshevik doctrines. the
Association Of the Citizen Clergy of
the Eastern Holy Orthodox church Of
America has been incorporated, at AL
bany.
The purposes Of his action, accord
ing to the Rev. Ingram M w. Irvine,
d. D., head of the English department
OF the Russian church, was, Ito unite
I clergy and laity more closely, to fur
Their the interests Of the church
among the Russians and other var
ious n~ationalities holding a similar
American citizenship among clergy
and laity; to secure necessary fnan-
cial assistance; to create high spir-
itual and social ideals among the la
ity; to stimulate interest in Ameri-
can school and institutions; to pro-
tect the clergy and laity from unwar-
ranted and libelous ATTACKS; to hold
all means to prevent the appointment
of unworthy persons to the clergy"
"As a result of The false hopes held
out by the Trotzky-Lenine regime,
the Russian church in America has
been depleted Of many members and
priests" said DR.. Irvine. They went
back to Russia in expectation Of re-
not available in the United States"
There are not now. so far as I
know, six Russian priests in the
American mission who were here

cathedral" he continued. we have

parishes in America n during the
regime Of Emperor Nicholas II. re-

Because Of all these traditional
conditions. the citizen clergy. Of the
Eastern Holy Orthodox church, met
together in an informal way recently
and decided to incorporate, SO as to
create stability and to stop. if posi-

pie"
DR.. Irvine said that Tikhon. the
patriarc h OF the Russian church,
elected on November last. during the

Of the Russian church in North
America had absorbed the spirit of
democracy. Tikhon, he said, was the

Russia and set up. instead. the Holy
Synod. He introduced into the synod

RAIDS AND REPRlSALS

Nothing could demonstrate more clearly the differ
ENG between Germany and the powers that are at war
with her than the attitude of the United States and the
entente powers OF Europe on the matter of reprisals.
From the very beginning of the war the Germans
have habituaHy trampled all law under, foot. They have
com united outrages innumerable, uncomfortable and in
calculabie.: They have murdered women. and children,
the sick and the wounded. and civilians in all walks of
life. They have committed atrocities from vantage
points on land, on water, in the air and under the water.
They have spared neither peaceful villages. world of art
nor holy places. Every flight their airplanes make over
the cities Of England and France is an act Of deliberate
and prenedhated murder Of the most aggravated sort,
for the specific purpose at the outset Of each Of these
raids is to kill the defenseless.
NJ Every other nation has been more humane. Ger
manys allies have not yet learned the full lesson Of hor-
ribleness from her. Even the Turks, whose name has
been the synonym for all that was cruel and savage,
have in this war conducted themselves as humane gen.
tlemen in comparison with their German allies and mas
ters. Among the other nations, those which are at wal
with Germany. indignation at these outrases long since
passed the bounds of speech.
At times there have been demands for reprisals in
kind. In a few cases such acts of reprisal may actually
have been undertaken. And It is natural that after one
Of those utterly useless, defenseless and criminal acts.
there should be momentary outbursts Of the demand
that the Germans be treated to a dose Of their own medi-
cine on an impressive scale, and that as they have made
war on the women and children Of other countries, so
their own women and children should be made to suffer
for the sins of their nation. Such a demand, under the
pressure Of indignation, is the most natural thing in the
world. And yet, the thing has not been done. That
There should be punishment is admitted. That the pen
atty should be made to approach in severity as near to
the enormity of the crime as is practicable is recognizaed
as fitting. And yet-and yet
The hesitation is due to the fact that in spite of
what Germany has done for it, humanity has not desen-
Grated into savagery. And the same humane spirit that
causes the nations to withhold their hand from melting
out to Germany what she has meted out to others, and,
as she has done. applying the punishment to the de-
fenseless. is the spirit in which civilization has under
taken this war. It may be that under some stress. some
terrible provocation, there may yet be a temporary re-
version to the condition of the beast. II there is. who
can condemn it. But there has been no such reversion
yet, and, If We can carry the war through without any
thing Of the sort we will have abundant cause for salts
faction when it is all over.

PRICES AND PROFITS

The statement by j. Ogden Armour, just published,
presents in terse and ineligible form some significant
facts concerning prices and profits in the packing in
dustry which are too commonly overlooked and concern
ing which there is often great confusion.
Not long ago a man who poses as a popular leader
and the friend of the oppressed, especially the oppressed
farmer. said on the public platform: you farmers
know how much a pound you get for a steer. Now go
10 a big hotel and see how much you have to pay for
that steers tongue" The man actually made that COM
parison for the purpose of convincing a lot Of intelligent
people that they were being robbed. Perhaps they are
being robbed. but tht price of beef tongue as compared
With the price Of beef carcasses is scarcely sufficient EVIL
dence on the subject.
According to the statement Of MI. Armour his COM
pany has made on three main classes Of its business
profits Of as, 2.21 and 2.o7 per cent respectively. Is
that unreasonable? II so it would be interesting to have
some one point out what would be reasonable.
The reply that is likely to be made is that Mr.. Ar
mour.s statement is false. II it is, that fact can be
shown. The accounts Of the great packers are accessible
10 the government, and it can be ascertained to a cent
Just what was paid and what was received In any given
period. Because the falsty OF the statement would be
10 easily shown, IL 1t is false, and the man who made it
would then stand convicted before the entire country,
tire most rational assumption Is that the statement is
true. S@
yast sums have been made in the packing business,
As III other lines. But az q rule the concerns which have
made the large sums have made them on a very narrow
margin 81 profit and an enornons volume Of business.

CASUALTY. ADDRESSES

There is a strong impression that the desire of Cen
eral Pershins. andefhe reported desire of the French gov
eminent, with reference to the publication of CASUALTY
lists mus, have been misunderstood in Washington, and
that in attempting to carry out the wishes which have
been expressed the Washington authorities have adopted
ductive of needless anxiety to the people in many Amer
lean homes.
The, sole purpose Of withholding any Information
concerning the war from the American people is to keep
information of military value away from the enemy. The
enemy cares nothing about the postosnce addresses of
our soldiers. He is interested in knowing how many
Americans there are at a given point. and Of what the
force is composed. infantry, artillery. and SO forth. If the
old system of organization had been maintained, and SOL
diers had continued in the units in which they were first
organized by local tes. the publication of the fact that in
a given engagement there were among the killed ami
wounded several men from Texas. several from Minneso-
Ia, and so on. that would indicate to the enemy that COM
Hands from all the states named were in that locality,
and that information would be useful. But local organi-
cations have been broken up and their members have
been dispersed, hence the publication Of the addresses of
the injured cannot aid the enemy in that way. 1t does
not appear that it is possible for it to aid him in any way.
Hence there seems to be no good reason for withholding
AS an Illustration Of the manner in which the present
practice works out, it is to be noted that the casualty list
the other day reported Edward Kelly killed in action,
ard Charles Johnson dead of natural causes. There ~.re
four Edward kellys, four Charles Johnsons and six more
Charles Johnsons with middle initials from Brooklyn in
the army. The family Of the person meant was notified.
but the others must have had a season Of sorrowful sus-
pense. The same must have been true OF many Kelly and
Johnson families all over the country. If the department
would deign to explain on the basis, say, of these specific
cases how the addresses could have hurt in any way the
country would receive the explanation with considerable
interest

their services praising the Almighty
God. the Father of us all, and listened
to the teachings of the Master in
humble homes; but as soon as possible
they erected churches for divine

VELVETS

Ve1vets are being used more and more, for indoor gowns as well as for the street frock. Many beautiful dinner gowns are fashioned from velvet in the softest and most supple of weavers. These lovely veIvets drape but do not crush, rare at tribute in any fabric of this nature.
 Often Georgette crepe or chiffon is used in combination with the velvet. The crepe or chiffon, for instance, may form the sleeves and part of the bodice while the velvet is used as part of the bodice and skirt. Or the crepe may form an overtunic, as in the case of one lovely model noted, and the un- derskirt of velvet.
 The model under discussion had g long Russian tunic of plum-color crepe over an underskirt of same tone velvet. The velvet girdle, which was placed at a low waist line, was | caught at the side front by two large medallions of dull silver inset with inn | itation amethyst. The sash was fold | ed loosely at the left side, the ends | falling almost to the skirt hem. The | bottom of the tunic was "cuffed" by ! the material and trimmed with a mar. row stripe of the velvet running per. pendicularly.
 l Another charming dinner frock O, velvet was combined with Georgettt crepe. The frock was made almos
 entirely of the crepe while the vel
 vet extended in long panels down tn,
 back and front and was caught a
 the waist line by a sash of the vel
 vet run through slits.

It is a saying doubtless as old as speech itself that sweet voice is a woman's greatest attraction. If her voice is sweetly melodious and used with skilful modulation, a woman pos sesses one charm that's compelling and may outweigh many physical shortcomings.
 A beautiful mouth and perfect lips should be completed by lovely voice. but too often this harmonious trinity is spoiled by a discordant, rasping, badly placed voice. This is more of ten the result of careless habits than of physical defects---careless habits of thinking, breathing and speaking.
 Perhaps the commonest defect in a woman's voice is the fault of pitching it too high Often this is accompanied by a nervous tension which holds the muscles of the throat taut and strained, and by short hurried respira- tion---which cuts the vtb~ation---de- stroys the overtones and mparts an unpleasautly raSping shrill 'timbre' to the voice.
 Deep breathing is the first requisite T-r a sweet voice. The old vowel sound of hildhood---a-eA-o-u-- drawn fin, held and emitted slowly. will heIr to develop volume in the voice, by en- couraging the lungs to draw in suf1. cient afr

pitched voice that is heard the far thest nor is it the voice with a loud tone. The lower the tone---a full chest tone---the farther will the voice carry, for its vibrations are richer and the overtones mo.'1 mellow and pene- trating. The well modulated voice which 1npresses its hearers with it's ease and sincerity, is heard without raising the natural speaking voice perceptibly.
 Capable of an infinite range of ex- preston, the voice is in keenest sym pathg with our thoughts and emo tions, refecting them accurately when not repressed by Constraint or con- trol. It will require painstaktng eff forts to overcome pernicious habits of speech, to replace the voice and train 1t to musical utterance. The first step in improvement Is to give to each vowel its full value and to sound the final e." The reward for this effort is beautiful voice which any woman may have and which she alone car attain, for only by watching herself and correcting herself constantly car she correct a habit of years.
 Notice pleasant agreeable voices and compare your own critically witt them. In the seclusion of your room try the pitch of your voice until you discover its most melodious tone, de eide upon which tone you can develop into the sweetest "timbre," then de termine that this tone shall be rec ognized by your friends as your voice
 Determination and perseverance car win for it such a personal charm tha the sound of your voice will attrac people to you instinctively.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A splendid cleansing and softening liquid for the hands is here recom- mended. Use a tumbler of Indian meal, fifteen teaspoons of grated toil- ct soap, two teaspoons of orris root two teaspoons of brax and one tea spoon of sachet powder. Mix well and sprinkle on the hands.
 Another good lotion which is ap- proved is made by putting into a bot tie two ounces of glycerine, two ounces of water, four tablespoons of lemon juice and few drops of car boIic acid. Shake well and, after washing and thoroughly drying the hands, rub in a little of the mix ture.
 To bleach the hands, raw tomato | rubbed over them will whiten them and the treatment is perfectly harm less. A tomato may also be used | on the face. Fruit and vegetable stains on the flesh will give way to this treatment. Let it remain on a l few minutes and then wash off.
