A Little Story With a Big
Thought in 1t. sst-

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City, Mich, received a hurry
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores we're searched successfully
for the right materials Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years Of age, each eager to lend
q hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers Of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch UNI
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making OF
the bags counted those completed and
announced that II every one Of the
workers could come early the next
morning anu WoIh I'LL NdJ lHc uo6o
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls the little sisters, were watt
ing for her at the door as she Dc.
parted.
Red Cross Dunnage 6ass.
I'VE are awfully sorry, ma am" said
the older of the two, but we cant
come back tomorrow. You see tomoE.
row we have to-" And, without n
fishing the sentence, she looked back
wstfully at the pile of bags.
ut is too bad you can't come back"
said the superintendent, but l want
to thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have teen wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly so
big II you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super.
intendent came down to unlock tho
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the two little girls stand
ing In the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you'll" ahe
said. II thought you said you couldn't
Gomez"
"Oh, we knew those Red Cross bags
Just had to be finished for the SOL
diers." exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, land we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the
washing done early!"

Object Lesson In Cleaning Up.

A housekeeping pageant took place
at Indore, India, few days ago, be-
Ing one of the first Of it's kind to bring
home to the people an invaluable OBJ
ject lesson in order to encourage the
cleaning and Frightening Of the city,
and to stimulate the masses and gen.
eral public to hopeful and energetic
action in dealing with cases Of plague
and the rat pest. The first part of the
procession showed the prosperity and
beneficial results of keeping the city
clean. Then the scene changed. Tigers
Of Ill omen appeared scattering tho
germs of disease and death; then fol.
lowed on a cart the model Of dirty
tumble-down, rat-infested house and
the model of the gigantic rat of plague
bearing upon its back Narakasur, the
Giant Of Dirt, with his club. These
were courageously attacked by the
spirit Of cleanliness and health; but
with incomplete success.

Equip Balloons With Carrier Pigeons.
The students of the Collegiate Bal
loon school, at Macon, Ca, do not rel
ish the idea of spending two or three
days in the swamps, cut off from all
communication with the outside world,
such as was experienced by party Of
four Of the students few days ago
when the big gas bag in which they
made an ascension came down in the
Ocmulgee swamp few miles below
Macon. To guard against this the bal
loon school has purchased number
Of carrier pigeons, and In the future
each balloon that goes up will be
equipped with pigeons which will be
used in an emergency to communicate
with the headquarters Of the balloon

Aviation Needs Chemists.

The swift development of the science
Of aviation has produced number of
highly important questions which, In
the opinion Of experts, must be solved
by the chemist, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Ways must be found, for
example, to overcome the susceptibility
Of machines to sudden changes Of tenn
perature, and some sort Of chemical
compound is needed to make cloth,
used in airplanes and elsewhere, water
proof, airproof, and slow burning. 9th

BY the demand for rustproof metal

Broken with pain and WEAKNESS .r-"' "

Back to the land Of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat was green above the scars
OF steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began
Ard still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast,
The old comforted
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate

HAPSBURG. HOHENZOLLERN
AND TURK

The attention of the United States
has been directed chiefly on the
evils Of the German dream of world
conquest. It is the principal men
ace because it is the most vigorous
and all-embra cling But the govern
ment Of the Hapsburgs in many re
spects has been far more tyrannic4l
than that of the Hohenzollerns. AMI
one Of the chief intentions Of the
present Turkish government is to
deport or murder a third Of its pop
u!atiOn-the nOn-MOslem third.
Austria and Turkey may be
weaker than Germany. but they ar.
not less wicked. Any compromise
that would put subject races again

there the couple lived a very re-
tired existence. educating their chill

this title having been bestowed up
on her. showed great tact, in not
attempting 10 intrude on her hus-
bands family. Queen Alexandra al
was kind, however. asked her nep-
hew 10 introduce his wife 20 her.
and she was so charmed by the
sweet personality Of the latter that
she wrote TO her sister. the En-
press Marie, asking her 70 show her
self ineulgent 10 the lovers.
II would. however, be difficult 20
guess what would have occurred II
the war had not broken out. and the
grand duke obtained the permission
10 go 10 the front. while the COun-
tess Brassow settled in Petrograd.

many friends as she had enemies

a wonderful position. and she was
before long recognized as a power

\ Question of Royalty.
When the car abdicated i'm favor
of his brother, the question arose as
TO what would be the status of the
countess i'm case Michael Alexandra
witsch assembled the throne. In
view. how ever, of the events which
followed. il never came TO be seri-
ously discussed. and very soon the
grand duke, together with his con-
sort. was arrested by the revolu-
tionary government. We now have
heard that they have been released
and that a strong movement has
been started in Russia with the view
Of the establishment of a constitu-
tional monarchy. after the model Of
the English one, with the Grand
Duke Michael as emperor.
Whether this will come to any
thing or not. il is, of course inn
possible to say. but should some
thing of the kind occur. it is more
than likely that the girl who seemed
TO be destined TO lead modest ex-
istence without any possibility Of
exchanging it for a more brilliant
one may find herself raised 10 the
proud position Of the consort of a
sovereign.
