had been reserved for it's reception, and the

ANOTHER BLOOMING OF THE Old HAND LOOM

NO YOU remember the old wooden loom
~ that stood under the caves Of grand
mothers garnet, before which you used
to sit on rainy afternoons and play at weav-
ing? 1t was covered with cobwebs and the
threads of the warp which had been left on it,
frame were frayed with age, but it was great
fun to slide the wooden bobbn between the
few threads that were left and weave all sorts
of wonderful fairy garments.
Weaving seemed the easiest occupation in
the world and one of the most fascinating
and for once our childish imaginations did not
mislead US. give you nv word as q "orown-
up who has woven a real, sure enough blan
Ket on one OF these same old wooden hand
looms, that weaving is both easy and fascinat-
ing. And what is more, people are beginning
10 realize that just now it is a mighty useful
occupation as we'll. And So one by one, the
ola wooden looms are being brought down
from tne garnet and reinstated in the place of
nonor IN the corner of the big farmhouse
Kitchen or living room
MISS Ida Tarbeu is responsible in some
measure Tor the return Of the old hand loom
~ was she who made the suggestion to the
members OF the war work committee of the
rem and Brush Club, of which she is the
honorary chairman, that they procure one or
Two OF these old hand looms and set them nm

Inc idea appealed Immediately to the
"rus's and writer's who comprise the "war
workers." and they set up several Of the old
wooden frames in the rooms at 1872 East
Nineteenth Street, where they have since been
in almost constant use.

New York City is merely the birthplace Of
the new war baby. Every city and town in
the country is to have share in the work Of
making it a success. Already committees
have been formed in different communities
and the response has been remarkable.

boys, remember, as we'll as those of our AL
lies; milk for the hundreds of tubercular pa
TENTS; milk, free milk, for everybody!
l doubt if you can realize what this means
unless you know something of the milk situa-
ton In France at the present time. Do you
know that France is facing milk famine? Do
you know that quart of milk costs 80 cents
in Paris to-day, and that it is difficult to obtain
it even at that price? Do you know that for
every two and one-half gallons of milk that
France formerly produced she produces now
less than one gallon? And this when she has
need Of twice the amount that is consumed in
time of peace!
The reasons for all this are simple First,
the Germans captured all the available cat
tie; then great many were requsitioned by
the Allied armies; and many of those that
were left were sacrificed by the farmer on
account Of the high cost or shortage of feed
The government realizes the situation and
the greatest care is being taken of the mich
cows that are left They are the pampered
pets of France. Directly town is in danger
Of bombardment they driven forth under
military escort to places Of safety The city
Of Paris, by-the-bye, has its own herd, which is
kept under special care.
Moreover, the government is doing every
thing in its power to conserve the milk sup
ply SO that it will be available for hospital use
There is law, for example, that forbids the
serving Of milk cream in restaurants or
hotels after 9 o'clock in the morning; but
still the milk gets scarcer and scarcer
So, you see, the situation is critical, and
this explains why huge tin milk can with the
words Gree Milk for France" painted on it
in big black letters adorns the sidewalk of
upper Fifth Avenue. 1t is there to spread the
gospel Of "the milk of human kindness"
This War Baby is Precocious
l have said that this movement to send
free milk to France is our youngest war baby.
AS matter of act, it is only month old, but
it is nightly lusty infant just the same, al
ready able to run alone, under the guidance
of two wise godmothers, who will make sure
that it grows to be highly respected member
of society
The idea Of helping France in this way
originated with Mrs Warren McConihe New
York woman, who served for over a year as
nurse in Janson de Sally Hospital, which
cares for the most seriously wounded. There
Mrs McConihe saw the dire need for fresh
milk.
"All through the hospital" she will tell

All that the American committee has to do
is to pay for the milk itself. 1t costs
liz cents a quart.
The plan at present is to SEND ton of this
milk a day. The cost of ton is $1,1OO. so
$1,100 must be raised once in twenty-four
hours When you think of the millions and
