Germs. remember especially Bridge
port, Conn, where the Singer ma
chimes are made. Also I passed in
Bridgeport the headquarters of the
Barnum and Bailey Circus.
We need the business-like North
with it's manufacturing centers, and
the hospitable, agricultural South to
make the nation perfect whole, and
without either it would be a failure.
Much bewildered, l arrived at Bos-
ton at eight o'clock at night, getting
off at Back Bay Station. l walked a
few steps and was met by two girls,
students in Boston, one from New
York and the other from New Hamp-
shire.
My first impression of Boston was
that this huge, lighted place was a
great blessing where one might walk
and rest, for the humping train had
been like ship on the ocean.
I spent my first night at the Stu
dents House, 96 Fenway, established
the year l was born, going the next
morning to the Leland Powers school
which / found to be very elegant
and charming indeed, both as to its
faculty and building. Mr.. Powers and
all the faculty are perfectly charm
ing. l am delighted.
I am rooming at a Y. W. c. A.
Club House, recommended by the
Students Union. In this apartment,
there are twenty-four other students
from eigheen states. Five others be-
sides myself are Leland Powers stu
dents.
am taking my meals at the Stu
dents Union, a lovely place where
crowds of students take their meals.
They are studying everything imagi-
nable and seem to be from every
state in the union.
1 am rooming with a girl from
New Hampshire who is spending her
fourth year in Boston as a student
of music.
We are going to the Museum OF
Fine Arts Sunday afternoon to see
some of the wonderful pictures.
went to the theatre last night
with girl from Plant City, Florida,
where we saw Ethel Barrymore.
am enjoying myself very much
indeed and am not homesick and am
so Independent, that I can hardly
realize it is i. found my boarding
place myself, and sometimes go to
and from school alone, in fact am
learning to depend upon myself.
am delighted with Mr.. Powers.

Of supply.


The sugar allotment, he also point
ed out, has been increased to three
pounds and in December will go to
four pounds, while after January
"you will probably be able to roll in
sugar if you think it will help you
any"
On the other hand, the people of
Europe are suffering from lack of
fats, and it will be absolutely essen
tial, DR.. Soule said, for America to
economize very closely in this detail
in order that the people of Europe
may be supplied. The lack of fats
and dairy products is terrible men,
ace to the children, he said, and he
declared that already in Servia and
Roumania there are hardly any chill
dren left. 1t is to put stop to such
conditions as this that America will
be asked to save her fats for use in
Europe.
DR.. Soule stated that not only will
America be called upon to feed her
allies, as during the war but will even
be asked to furnish food for the de-
feated people of the central powers.
DR.. Soule admitted that to do this for
the people who have preached and
practiced terrorism and brutality to
all the world and have slain our sons
is not at all the liking of Americans,
but that aside from the humanitarian
spirit for which America stands, this
course will be necessary in order to
curb Bolshevikism and anarchy which
threatens not merely the disrupted
nations of central Europe, but also
neutral countries and is capable of
situation which may pass beyond con-
troll. This is the cold fact of the situ-
alton America is up against, he said.
DR.. Soule also pointed out there
are more than 40,000,000 people in
northern Russia who are facing star
vation unless relief can be carried to
them. The plight of these people is
such that it is already doubtful whe
ther they can be saved from this hor-
rible fate, he said. If winter comes
on and their northern ports become
ice-bound before food reached them,
DR.. Soule declared, they will die ac-
tually by the millions.
The cooperation Of America in
feeding the world will be further en-
phasized during "World Relief Work"
December 2 to 7th, when an enor-
nous amount of food is expected to
be saved in a nationwide weeks
campaign. Plans for the keeping of
