From Red Cross Briefs, published
In Atlanta the following inspiring ac-
count of Red Cross work in France is
taken:
The national headquarters of the
American Red Cross In Washington
Perkins, Red Cross commissioner to
France, on the work of civil relief
and restoration done in France during
the month of February.
During this one month, substantial
aid was given to over hundred thou
sand French refugees, repatriates and
other war sufferers. This number in
cluded about twenty thousand persons
in the devastated areas, seven thou
sand five hundred repatriates in prov
inces and nearly six thousand under
nourished Paris school children. More
than twenty-five thousand people were
given hospital care during this one
month, including thousands of repatri-
ate children at Evian, and about a
thousand tuberculosis patients in Paris
who were given supplementary ra-
lions daily.
Work is now being conducted by
the Red Cross In 90 French cities and
villages, not including the Friends
unit which has 81 relief stations, or
the Smith College unit which works
in IL villages. Nine civilian hospitals
with total capacity Of more than a
thousand beds and 40 dispensaries give
care to children, tuberculosis patients
and refugees.
Grants of money to French organ
izations during the month tOtaled
more than half a million francs, and,
in addition, large quantities of cloth
ing, food and household GOODS were
| distributed.
The Red Cross now has a staff of
400 workers in France, SO having been
added during February.

Vast Defense Work Has Been BUTT
According to Statement Made
by Swede.

Monster guns, hidden in pits 40 and
30 feet deep, and 125 to $50 feet apart
form a labyrinth Of defenses around
Berlin, according to John Erickson, q
native of Sweden. For five years, be-
ginning with 1907. Erickson says he

tom of the pits In which the guns are
hidden, surrounding the city. Two
circles Of these guns surround Der
lin. One is seven miles from the city's
outskirts-the other Is IL. A screen
roof is now laid over these guns. A
layer Of two feet Of dirt covers the
stop. Grass, trees and even the sea
sons crops are planted over them.

A CARELESS DOLL.

The conversation In the lobby OF q
Washington hotel turned to the sub
feet of lodging responsibility, when
this anecdote was fittingly related by
Representative Frank d. Scott OF
Michigan:
Some time since fond mother re-
turned from an afternoon call and
found her five-year-old daughter hud'
died up in a big armchair, crying bit
terly.
"Why, Bessie" exclaimed the moth
er, taking the little one In her arms
"what In the world is the matter"
"Somefin dwedful has happened
sobbed the youngster, nesting closer tc
her mother. IL"
That's all right, darling" coaxing
ly responded the mother. "Tell me al
about It,"
ut was my dolly" was the tearfu
explanation Of Bessie. "She dot away

The last efforts Of the designers in
suits for this summer are eloquent OF
two influences. One Of them is the
adaptation of styles TO silk fabrics-in-
Guiding several novel weaves-and the
other proclaims the conservation of
wool, carried to its limit, in suits Of
cloth for ordinary street wear. The
result is a great difference in style
between suits Of silk and suits of wool.
The wool suit must repress all ambi-
lions In the direction of embellish-
ments that use up cloth and must even
curtail the length Of coats and width
Of skirts. But the suits made of silk
are under no such obligations. They
may be as ample and elaborate as the
designers ideas.
The maker Of the little cloth suit
pictured has accepted the inevitable
gracefully and, 1t appears, has used
something less than the allotted four
yards of goods. But he has managed
to put a lot of youthful style into 1t.
The short coat has a plain, unshaped
body gathered into a wide belt, and a
mere reminder of skirt In the narrow
peplum. There is a narrow shawl col
lar open to the belt and plain sleeves
with no cuffs. Narrow silk braid bind
lngs and bone buttons tell the briei
story of finishing touches. Plain as
the skirt is, 1t is cleverly draped and
finished. Two tabs, bound with braid
are set on at the sides and each has 6
mall, slit pocket in 1t.

Why Women Bear Pain.

Women bear pain better than men,
as is we'll known, but DR.. e. O'Neill
Kane says that their tranquility is
often deceptive, being stoical submis-
sion rather than lack Of feeling. He
believes women are less often affected
by shock than men; they endure sur
gical operations better and pass under
anesthesia more rapidly, quietly and
safely.

Easy-Golng People.

Any time is good enough for easy
going people. Any way is well enough.
They are inclined to be sorry for the
young man who sets his alarm clock
for an early hour, and takes off his
coat when he goes to work. But the
road to success of any sort is never
easy. Easy-going people jog along
comfortably. knowing nothing of tense
nerves and strained muscles, but when
the day is over, the goal is still far in
the distance.

Called In the middle Of bitter win.
ters night to a house three miles
away, where a child was reported to
be seriously Ill, the creator Of "Sher'

rain and sleet oply to find the place
in darkness, and bolted and barred

He knocked and rang again and
again. No answer! At last a head
stuck itself gingerly out Of a third
story window.

"Yes," said Doyle, "let me in"
"Oh, no need to come In now" said
the man. "The child's all right
sleeping quite peacefully"
Doyle buttoned his coat and started
off homeward. But suddenly the win
dow was raised again and the same
voice cried: Doctor! say, doctor =
He hurried back, thinking that the
child had suddenly taken turn fol

Don't Ask Personal Questions.

Never presume upon your intimacy
with another to ask personal ques-
lions. No matter how good friends
two may be, both have certain matters
which they prefer TO keep to them
selves. The presumption which, under
the excuse of intimacy, pushes its way
into the privacies Of the spirit is I'M
worthy Of you. Respect your friends
reserves, and insist that they shall re
spect yours.
