"but isn't the government providing
war risk insurance, and will II not pro-

necessary? Isn't II fact that but
few men with dependents have been
called to arms?"
Mr.. Average CitiZ.n Is correct, but
he is thinking only in terms of money
relief And 1t Is to convince him that
administration Of money relief is only
one of many features of Home Serv-
ice that this series of articles on the
rudiments of Home Service have been
prepared.
Scan this brief summary OF the OPP
portunities confronting Home Service
committees in your county and you
will agree that the opportunities have
become the duty and privilege of an
outstanding, patriotic, American citi-
xenship.
/. Conservation by service Of hui
man resources wherever deterioration
is threatened in soldiers or a sail
or's home.
2. Temporary relief of families in
which there has been a delay in pay
ments, or in which there Is an emer-
gency.
3. Responsibility for regular and
continued assistance in cases not
covered by government allowance
this includes families in need and res
ident in the United States Of men who
are in the service Of our allies.
4. Personal service to the returned
soldier or sailor, especially when he
is disabled
5. An information service which
will save time, trouble and anxiety for
lonely relatives of enlisted men.
G. Advancement of home standards
wherever possible, but especially
when the lack of help is likely to
cause family disintegration.

HOME SERVICE
Civilian Relief Director Begins
Series of Articles Explaining
Importance of Assistance to
Enlisted Mems Relatives

EDITORS NOTE: This Is the first Of
series of five articles prepared by James
l.. Fieser. director Of civilian relief for
the American Red Cross in Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky. The subjects Of the other
four articles In the series are: What
Red Cross Home Service Is" Financial
Aid In Home Service, What Has Been
Taught Home Service Workers." and
"organizing and Training 10000 Home
Service Committeeman"
BY James L. Fieser,
Director, Civilian Relief, Lake Divi-
sion, American Red Cross.
Two new words-Home Service
are taking important places in the
vocabulary and activity of the 1856
American Red Cross chapters in Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky.
At wars outbreak ten months ago
to the few chapters then organized
Red Cross work and popular knowl-
edge of it centered only around prep
aration of hospital supplies, equip
ment of base hospitals and supplying
their personnel, and provisions Of re-
lief in times of disaster.
Then came the unfolding of null
solicitation Of war funds, driving for
increased membership, organization Of
school auxiliaries, turning out huge
quotas of knitted articles, surgical
dressings and Christmas packets.
Among these obligations-model Of
19l7-was the organization Of Home
Service committees, better known in
some communities as civilian relief
committees. Frequently the activi-
ties of the Home Service committees
were belittled by other chapter COM
mittees. This because importance of
Home Service had not been clearly
defined. Now, through the efforts Of
the Bureau of Civilian Relief of the
Lake Division, headquarters at Cleve-
land, chapters have come to clear
understanding Of the vtalness of Red
Cross Home Service in relation to war
and complete victory.
But to the general public, notably
in the so-called rural communities,
Home Service Is little better under
stood than 1t was by the chapters q
matter of five months back
So, what is Red Cross Home Service
and why?
Home Service must be the nations
assurance that the enlisted and con-
scripted mans family shall not suffer
for want Of any essential thing within
the power Of the nation to give.

If one is pressed FOR time a good
showing can be mace by keeping cool
and quietly disposing of one task be-
fore beginning another. Hurry and ex-
element will hinder any cause. But
the person who has mastered himself
or herself-who remains calm under
all circumstances--is the man or wom-
an who does splendid work.
Learning to concentrate ones mind
upon the duty at hand is, indeed, an
effort worth while. Therefore, the girl
or woman who would spare herself
hours OF needless worry or excitement
should wisely keep her head--in other
words, give her best attention to what
ever task coErrGnis her.

THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER
Men of Science Bafted In EndeaNors
to Find the Real Root Of All
Languages.

The oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerlan, Baby
lonian (or AccadlGn) and the Egyptian.
The earliest known Inscriptions belong
to about the fifth millennium B. G.,
but 1t Is reasonable to assume that
these were antcdated by many different
languages which had a great antiquity.
The script of the Sumerlan, Baby
lonian (or Accadian} and Assyrian was
the cuneiform. Chaldean, the Ian
guage used generally as the diplomatic
language about the time of BelshazHar,
is what we now know rs the Aramc
language. Archaeology has thrown no
light on the subject of the confusion
of tongues. Abraham very probably
spoke the Aramaic, the language of
Aram. In Canaan his descendants np-
parently used the language of the
land, which was that Of the Ammon-
ties. This Is what we now know as
Hebrew. 1t would seem that the Isra-
elites retained while in Egypt the Ian
guage familiar to them, but arche0l-
ogy has thrown no light upon the sub
ject. Nothing has been discovered
which can be determined as antedi-
luvian. Babylon.an legends mention
several cities as existing before the
flood, and Arabic tradition says Haran
was the first city that was rebuilt af-
ter the deluge, but archaeology has
offered no certain data as yet on the
suhiect.

Speaking of autobiographic recipes

he always started useful topic OF
discourse which might improve the
