THE MOONS TEARS.

:. Once upon time a kind shepherd
lived with his wife In cottage on the
hill. He spent each day from down
TN dark with the sheep on the green
what 1t was to be lonely. But his wife
had no one. to keep her company, for
the cottage stood far away from any
other dwelling. and she had neither
child nor neighbor. In lambtme it
often happened that the poor sheep
would bring the woolly orphan to his
wife. Therefore, all the dark winter
through she looked forward to the
spring. One March evening Is she was
hanging the pot over the fire, she look
cd at the snug chimney corner and
TO the left Is what want to see there.
The words wero still there upon her
lips when there came n loud knock at
the door. open the door. wife" said
the shepherd. She lifted the latch and
ing rs he held the lambs closely wrap
ped In his plaid. Give them to me-"
cried the lady. She bore them to the
hearth and 10! when she unrolled bun
dies It held no lambs. but two fair lit
spread twenty cold fingers to the blaze.
Imagine the woman's happiness! The
shepherd had found them In messy
hollow between the roots OF tree.
They had curly heads and were so much
alike that no would ever know which
n little green .petticoat and the boy
n small pair OF green breeches. The
two were always hand in hand. Bud
and Sis were their names. They were
given the tenderest love. and the shep-
kerd and his wife believed them to be
happy.

SEND IN CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE
CONTEST.

Ny Dear Girls and Boys:
Hurry up with your contributions for
the War Orphan Contest. I have had
some fine articles and stories sent in,
now let's have some pictures and puZ-
lies. You can draw pictures OF the
Germans plundering the homes of these
children. or how you imagine the little
French boys and girls look. how they
play and dress. almost anything like
that you can think OF. Just suppose
you were orphaned under such cruel
circumstances as these little French
and Belgian children have been. think
how wretched it would be. l believe
you have pretty good understanding
OF what the contest Ia about, and from
the articles already sent in, l am sure
1t will be one OF the best we have
ever had.
One new member writes and asks
how much it costs to join our club. 1t
doesn't cost cent, but we must have
the letters and stories and pictures sent
in In ink, and your name must be

MARINE CORPS
TO BE ENLARGED
More Men of This Fighting
Force Wanted at the
Front

Washington, April 20. r. Increase oi
the marine corps to 1880 men and di'
rection that major.general of marines
accompany the marines tothe front in
Europe, were agreed to by the House
naval affairs committee yesterday as an
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill
This action was largely result of a
fight made by Representative Bri,ten OF
| Illinois.
While the committee amendment does
not specifically state that maior-gen-
eral is TO 20 to the front, it provides for
ma general of marines, besides the
present major general commanding, who
would be available for service overseas
The present ma ior general would re-
main as administrative head here
The committee also agreed to an APP
preparation of SS77 900 for purchase OF
additional land at the Great Lakes naval
training station at Chicago to make it
the largest station of its kind in the
world
The House began consideration of the
naval appropriation bill yesterday, the
1925, 100000 on more involved in the ma
rins increase raising the total of the bill
to more than a billion and a quarter
dollars.
A fortnight ago Representative Brit.
ten, member of the naval affairs com
mittee, demanded that more marines be
sent to the fighting lines. The war de
partment cabed to Secretary Baker,
then in France, and to General Pershing
recommending reconsideration of the de-
cision against having more marines at
the front, with the result that an in
crease was recommended.
Secretary Daniels favored increasing |
the present strength of 10000 marines |
to $1,000, but Major General Barnett, |
the marines, asked for 75. |
800 and the committee voted unani- |
mously in favor of his request.
1t was said that with this increase in
he corps it would be possible to spare
5000 or $4,000 marines for service az
