on this endeavor. Specially have
the children of people OF moderate

English School Children
Thank the Americans
For Conserving Food

a letter from her thanking you for
saving food so that she need not 60

her" This, in effect, though per-
haps not by the use OF those words,
is the plan adopted by the United
States Food Administrator Her
bert c. Hoover, to convey the
thanks of English school children
to the children of America for help
ing him to conserve food for the
benefit of English girls and boys,
Mr.. Hoover has brought back
from London many thousands OF
letters from the British boys and
girls and his plan is to send at
least one letter to every public
school in the United States.
The letters were delivered to Mr..
Hoover during his recent visit to
London. Two motor cars were re-
CURED to cary them. Some OF
them were written by individuals
while others were signed by the
children of a whole school; so that
the total represented the thanks Of
hundreds of thousands of British
children.
The Editor OF the Teachers
World presented to Mr.. Hoover
a deputation of English school chill
dren and told the American Food
Administrator that the letters were
heartfelt expressions of gratitude
to the American nation which had
denied itself to provide England
with food.
II will very proudly distribute
these letters among our American
schools" replied Mr.. Hoover. %

one of the most effective links pos

Dogs Are Mans
Best Friends

A dog is a mans best friend, and
dogs are found in all parts of the
world in which man has made him
self a home. There are all sizes,
from the Newfoundland-as big as
sheep-to the lapdog- as big as
kitten. Some dogs have smooth,
close hair (the greyhound, some
have rough, Shaggy hair (the ter
rier), and some have soft, flowing
hair (the spaniel)
Dogs are put to different uses.
Collie dogs assist the farmer to
drive his herds. Hounds are
trained to find game for sportsmen
In the North the huskie dogs are
employed as beasts of burden, haul
ing sledges especially made for
them.
The Newfoundland is a noble
looking animal standing thirty inch
es in height. He is very fond of
the water and his toes are half
webbed. His limbs are large and
strong, his hair rough and curly.
He is employed in drawing carts
laden with wood and fish in his ma
tive country, Newfoundland
The mastiff is most powerful
dog. He is mild and gentle, but
when defending his masters goods
he does not fear to attack either
man or beast.
The sheep dog is very intelligent
and his master treats him as COM
panion, the dog obeying his every
order. The sheep gather around
the dog for protection when any
thing alarms them.
The greyhound is a graceful
beast, noted for his speed His
body. is light, his nose sharply
pointed, his chest deep and broad,
and his legs are long and slender.
He follows his game by sight, not
by scent.
The bloodhound is of reddish
brown color. His scent is remark.

or beast ne keeps on his course

+, and always securing his game. In
| former times this animal was used
for tracking criminals in Australia
also in America.
The bulldog, noted for his cour.
age and fierceness, is not afraid to
attack any animal larger than him
self. He was once used in the cruel
sport bull fighting.
Spanish dogs, or spaniels. are all
handsome creatures They have
long, silky hair, dropping ears
bushy tails and partly webbed feet
They are good swimmers. There
are several types-the field spaniel
very fond of hunting game; the
water spaniel, a powerful diver
very useful for bringing game out
of the water after it has been shot
The Alpine, or st. Bernard, is the
finest of the spaniels and is nearly
as large as a mastiff. This animal
is sent out after travellers lost in
the storms in the Alps Mountains
in Switzerland.-Elm III. Fisher

hood lights were shining from the
upper windows of several houses
and hurrying figures might have
been seen moving rapidly back and
forth. Shrill cries were sounding
systematically upon the still night
air and the whir of high powered
machines stopping at one complete

the silence.
Jimmie, oh Jimmie, wake up
DEAR" Mrs. Gray's voice was low,
but very intense. Something ter
rible has happened to Thomas Har-
low. He is very, very i'll, and they
cannot imagine whatever is the
matter. All he does is gasp out,
ASK jim SO James boy, you must
wake up, you must, dear, and tell
them what Thomas has done"
well whatsamatter," mumbled
Jimmie with one eye half open,
"Why can't Tommy Harlow let a
fellow have some peace"
"Oh Jimmie boy, wake up, dear"
repeated his mother, her voice quiv-
ering with earnestness. "They have
two doctors and a nurse over at
Harlow's how, and you must tell
them what has happened to
Thomas. Try to think, dear, has
he eaten anything he shouldn't"
A slow smile spread over Tom
my's sleepy face as he murmured,
did you say say Tommy got sick?'
Eyes Jimmie, he is desperately
i'll. Oh, James, tell me quickly
what has happened. You must.
Thomas may die"
Jimmie turned his head and
looked thoughtfully into his moth
er's anxious face for full minute.
Then slowly ne began: well, if
it really made Tom sick, and I've

Children Are Asked
to Help Save Soldiers
from German Gas Attacks

Junior Red Cross members are
asked by Washington officials to
help save soldiers from poison gas
by collecting materials which are
used in the gas masks, and Mr..
Giles, the superintendent of the
schools, who is the head of the
Richmond chapter Of the Junior
Red Cross, is urging all children in
the schools to do their part
The charcoal or carbon made
from nut shells or fruit stones is
placed in the breathing tube of the
gas mask and it takes the poison
out of the air which the soldiers
must breathe, and so it saves them
! from the singing, binding pain of
the gas.
One little peach seed could not
be of any use to anyone, or one lit
tie nutshell, but when hundreds and
thousands and millions are collect
ed and given to the men who know
how to work with chemicals, these
are changed into the means of saw
ing thousands of mems lives.
The organization of the Junior
Red Cross has been completed for
some time, and Mr.. Giles expects
the children to make this cam.
paign the greatest success.
The letter which was sent to Mr.
Giles follows:
Dear Superintendent:
| Poison gas was one of the first
fruits of kultur. 1t stings, blinds
and kills. Charcoal or carbon made
from fruit pits and nut shells is
used to neutralize it.
The government needs carbon. II
asks the boys and girls of America
to save:
| (a) Peach pits.
! CO. Apricot pits.
| (c) Plum pits.
i, (d) Cherry pits.
| (e) Prune pits.
/ f) Hickory nuts.
(g) Walnuts.

structions and bags will

Two hundred peach pits or sever
pounds of nuts produce enough car

and nut shells.
