The Maker of BandageS
Red Cross Workers Solve i'm One Minute the
Mystery of the Stony Hearted
Mrs. Britt.

Mrs. Britt was such woman.
have seen hard women in my time
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when she smiled 1t
was like the glitter of ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as If she had
ever wept In her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
in the morning, the last to leave at
night No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was a

Are Efficient Women Hard7
Efficency-dreadful word that How
often hard women are efficient! How
often efficient woman are hard She
was both, Mrs. Britt The moment she
came In ut the door she had her hat
and jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set. grim,
austere and hard-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
Of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, duty! But then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs Farlow
She was soft and womanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, Though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
at the work table, her mouth culver,
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
In her eyes, The bandages that came
from her were often soiled and rum

Again and again what she turned In
had to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall hint that she was more
Of a burden than help. The hearts
of all those women ached with woman
ly pity for the poor, stricken mother
Once in awhile, though, In her corner
at the back of the room Mrs. Britt
would turn around and throw a glance
at her. The glance was as hard as
rocks-harder, In fact.
Mrs. Farlow had son In the Rain

His picture was In the lOcket she
wore Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at it. Sometimes, her
face wistful. she would show 1t to the
other workers. voicing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged holloway in her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlow's oldest
daughter came hurrying In. Her face
was white She had just learned that
the Rainbow division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed. sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile OF
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares

The room instantly was in confu

the mothers aid-that Is, every one
but Mrs. Britt She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails. grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs
FarlOw, still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure In the
corner was plugging away as mechan
ically and methodically as ever. The
one glance she threw over her shout
der at the weeping woman was almost
contemptuous.

EAST MAKES LITTLE CHANGE
Methods of Agriculture About BethIe-
hem the Same Now as In the
Days of Boaz.

Belt Sahur is a small village lying
eastward at the foot Of the mountain
wherein is built Bethlehem, and is
what might be called its agricultural
suburb. In the broad level valley be-
yOnd we see the shepherds fields
where the angels, the first Christmas
eve, appeared to men in the lowliest
walks of life. Here Boaz must have
had his fields, for they are the only
large ones near to Bethlehem suitable
for raising grain and such as would
be in the possession of "a mighty
man Of wealth." as BOaz is depicted as
being
After threShing, the next process Is
to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This is done by the aid of the gentle
breeZeS that usually arise during the
evening hours, no matter how warm
the summer day may have been.
The tools are very simple. A two
prOnged fork, converted from single
limb Of an oak tree, is used to move
the long straw, and with this the
worker stirs the grain during the
process of treading 1t out. For the
WinnOwing a fork, also made Of oak
wood, but with five fiat prOngs, Is
used. This is the implement referred
to as the fan" of which we read in
sacred story. A wooden shovel also
plays its part.
In this land Of no change, or at
least slow change, 1t is quite cOnceiv-
able that on and around these very
threshing floors, with the same ap-
pearance of life In Olden times as now,

To Protect Birds From Cats.

The pole supporting martin house
or any other bird house, and also the
trunk Of tree In which bird house
Is placed, should be protected by cat
guard, writes George GLADDEN., In an
article on bird-house construction in
the Peoples Home Journal. Barbed
wire wound around the trunk Of the
tree, but held away from 1t by cleats
about two inches thick, forms the best
guard. Another simple guard may be
made by tying around the support or
tree trunks number of stalks Of rose
bushes or any other branches with nat
ural thorns.

other she thrust at her the half fin
ished bandage. Her tone as grim as
her face, she spoke, and again the
sound Of 1t was like hail pattering on
slate. you're not thinking of your
SON." she said. You're just thinking
Of yourselfI"
There was a murmur of remon.
STRANGE. Mrs. Britt heard it, and she
flashed look about her. But when
she spoke again it was to Mrs Farlow
she spoke.
Think Of Your Son.
You're not the only mother In this
war;" she said. IF you thought q lit.
tie more about them and q little less
about yourself you'd be doing some
thing. You'd be helping your son, for
one thingr"
"Why, what do you mean?" gasped
Mrs. Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adamant,
Icy smile.
"YOur son wouldn't die for want of
care. Any one Of those bandages I've
seen you ruin might save his life. Any
one of them might save the life Of
some other mothers son !"
Mrs. Farlow shrank as II she had
been struck. Shed never thought of 1t
that way before.
The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for a
moment to quit her. II have no son"
she said. her fiinty voice biting out the
words. II had one, but he died at
Guantanamo. 1t was In the Spanish
war;" snapped Mrs Britt, land there

why he died. That's why I'm here

Then, her lips drawn into q bony
smile. she glanced about her once
more and stalked back to her place In

That night Mrs Farlow rose from

sought the table at the back. For the

Fishes Yawn When Bored.

Did you ever see fish yawn? Rich
ard Elmhirst, an English biologist,
tells us that yawning is a common
habit Of cod saithe, cobbler. plaice and
various other kinds Of fish, From his
description, the piscatOrial yawn Is
very much like the human yawn, ex-
cept that 1t is done under water. He
says: From numerous observations
am led to think that this action of
fishes Is a real yawn, and serves the
true physiological purpose of yawn-
that Is, flushing the brain with blood
during periods Of sluggishness. The
conditions conducive to yawning are a
slight increase In temperature, and, /
suppose, the accompanying diminution
Of oxygen" Popular Science Monthly.
