AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Disapproval of the exploitation of school children for the purposes of collecting funds is expressed i'll a joint statement issued today by Dr, Henry N. MacCracken, director of the Bu- reau of Junior Membership of the American Red Cross. and George r. Strayer of the Division of Education of the National War Savings Commit tee. The statement reads:
 The attention of the Junior Red Cross and of the National War Say ings Committee has been called to 3, few cases in which the services of school children have been misdirected in the work of raising funds. The undersigned officers of the organiza tions wish to make their policy in this respect perfectly clear to the public.
 Education in patriotism and ser vice are the aims of the Junior Red Red Cross and of the School Cam paign of the National War Savings Committee Omitted States Treasury Where the children of the country are concerned these aims are far more important than the material results of their service in money or sup plies The reversal of this policy would endanger the future which these children hold in their hands Statements have been made in re- cent campaigns that school children have engaged in unauthorized street speaking, selling, soliciting and col 1ecting contributions outside of school hours. Although these activities have 1 had their origin in the laudable zeal of the children or those responsible for

to parry the pointed, singing conver-
 sational shafts he was wont to direct at me, or to avoid what l feared
 more-his sentimental moods. Now
 I made up my mind to take command
 of the situation even if in doing so
 I violated some of my old ideals of
 ethics and behavior. The situation was desperate or Lillian wouldn't have
 asked such service of me. I didn't
 intend to fail her.
 MT. Underwood ?' I hardly knew
 my own voice, so cool and controlled
 it was.
 "Ah, Lady Fair! So glad to hear voice. That old woolly chimpanzee
 was so frieid I was afraid perhaps
 she'd locked you ID in your room on
 bread and water and wouldn't give
 you my message
 What can l do for you?" I asked, lodging the question of Betty. "Havent you seen the Era
 Not until this morning. We have
 had 8 death and burial here"
 "Yes, I know" hurriedly, T saw an a7nouncer?ent."
 Did I fancy it, or was there some thing akin to remorse in his tone? I hoped so. Surely he had reason to be remorseful, for I knew how bitterly he had opposed Lillian's giving
 horne to poor old Mrs. Morton, When can 1 come and see you?" he continued. Its impera tive. I ought to have seen you two days ago" Pretty Smooth--'' A new dilemma faced me. I was sure that Betty was listening to my end of the conversation. I mustn't let 1 her suspect that MT. Underwood had no idea lie was to come to his old home.
 "Yes, I understand" I replied. "Iil- 1 lian told me this morning that you would probably be here today to look after your things upstairs, and asked me to help you. How soon will you ! be here? I'll tell Betty to be on the ! watch for you, although she knows you're coming.''
 Pretty smooth, little petticoated Machiavelli." he chuckled. "Tll be at your door in exactly , minutes Is ! Lii there?"
 The question was elaborately care less, but I knew he anxiously awaited the answer-that he had no desire to see Lillian.
 No, Katherine and she went shop ping" I replied.
 We'll" and I knew him we'll enough to detect the relief in his tone, farewell child for Is minutes, the longest quarter of an hour in me life"
 It was his old tone of burlesqued
 sentiment. There was something in
 the quality of his voice, ., certain sus- picion of thickness in the tones that
 made me suspect he had been drink ing. My heart almost failed me at the prospect of the interview l had set myself.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
How Madge Took Things Into Her Own Hands and Arranged to
 Meet Harry.

I tried to conceal it from Ll- lia,n and Katherine, but l was trem- bling with nervousness when they left for their shopping trip. The prospect of any interview with Harry Under- wood, especially one as trying as this conference promised to be, was most unsettling.
 There was no deceiving Lillian S keene eyes, however. She turned back at the door, sending Katherine ahead to the waiting taxi, in order to have parting confidential talk with me
 ''I ou've got to brace up, Madge" she said, and the edge of her voice was calculated either to stiffen my backbone or 10 crush me completely T wouldn't ask you to do this if had any choice in the matter Frank ly. I'm counting on Harry's interest in you--I would better put it his in fatuation for you-not only to get him out of this mess he is in, but to secure from him information we in the serv- ice need sorely. So keep your eyes, mental and physical wide open. your nerves under control, and don't you dare miss a trick. Young Gates, in the library, will be at your call if Harry shoul turn ugly, which is the last thing I expect. So longN'
 She was in the taxi before recovered my breath. I mechanically returned the wave of the hand she gave me, and then went slowly back into the big living room
 During the next hour, which seem = ed to stretch out interminably, I tried to knit, to sew, to read and abandoned all three as hopeless. Though l dreaded the sight of Harry Underwood I was actually relieved when Betty called me to the telephone.
 It's that limb of Satan, Mis- Lil- lian's husband, Mis- Madge," Betty announced indignantly. Miss Lil- Lillian, she tel me fore she went that he'd probably come today when she was gone to see about some of his trash upstairs, an that she had asked you to lend it to him. l know what I'd lend to him with if I was you-- just the sharpest razah I could get hoI of. Rut he's waitin' at the tel ephone. so shake your foot, honey"
 "Its Imperative"

 of which, because of their novelty and attra activeness, has not been disclosed.

IYCFUNI THEATER.

Whenever Douglas Fairbanks ap- pears in a motion picture, he is 8 dar- Ing "cut-up" whose antics and genial good humor not only excite merri- ment, but add to his popularity as an entertainer of the highest class. In his latest photocomedy, MT. Fair banks is a regular parlor "cut-up" as we'll as g. fighter in the slums, and his ehara acterization is no less enjoyable than are those quaint Western .crea- tions with which his name has been so long and agreeably associated. In his newest vehicle, MT. Fairbanks is genial laughing philosopher, who believes in happiness and who teaches the doctrine to help bring happiness to others In accordance with this

their welfare, they must be discour- aged The danger of overstim ulatien and of the undue pressure exerted by inter-school competitions are as great as the danger of slackness and indifference. Teachers som etimes ere ate this condition " saying to the children, You MUST bring a quarter, 2 dollar, etc, next Monday"
 On the other hand, saving or earn ing in proper ways for War Savings Stamps or the Red Cross will inculcate the habit of thrift and self-deniaI in the minds of our boys and girls. This valuable lesson is the object of the War Savings committee campaigns and the financial activities of the Jun for Red Cross.
 The directors of the Junior Red Cross and of the school campaigns of the National War Savings committee disapprove of the exploitation of chill dren for the purpose of collecting money. Boys and girls under the legal ago of labor must not be exposed to the dangers of street work The Jun for Red Cross and the War Savings committee seek to work through the schools and in school time, under proper school control. They do not encroach upon the child's play time. The value and necessity of play we'll as work is recognized in their pro- grams.
 The children are the hope of ths' world" This generation will leave them a heavy legacy of world prob- Iems. The future waits upon their energy, sanity, their breadth of vision. Our wisdom and foresight today must insure them the strength to meet that future.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

l HOUSEHOLD NOTES Children's one- piece dresses can be 1 cut up into middies for common or l camp use. Nobody can afford to do without eating abundance of vegetables every | day. Most dried vegetables will need to be soaked in cold water overnight be- fore using. Frozen custard with apple sauce in it is 8 pleasant change when apples are available. Whipped cream mayonnaise is in 1 tended to be used on all sweet salads such as fruit. 1 Excellent apple ice can be made of 1 tart old apples, favored with 3, little l lemon juice. 1 Curry powder or horse radish may l be used vary the flavor of a French
 dressing.
 When going in swimming, put d
 bit of lambs s-wooI covered with CO l coa butter in each ear. For a French dressing to be used with fruit salad, lemon juice is far better than vinegar. When cucumbers are old, try fry i ing them in oil---they are very much ] like egg plant. Tin trays are q great comfort to take on picnic---one for each per son, to hold his food.
 Food too rapidly cooked loses it's 1 full flavor.
 Even ice cream can be sueetened with honey. Pickled beets or lettuce leaves make ] a good salad. Baked beans can be prepared with 1 suet instead of pork. Tn drying vegetables, be careful not 1 to cut them too thin. 1 in banana ice cream A mixture of dried vegetables is excellent for winter soup. The dressing is always the most important part of 8 salad. Grape juice is much improved by beng sweetened with honey. Feeling potatoes wastes about 25 per cent of their food value.
 Green mosquito netting is better
 than white for the babys canopy.
 A wholesome and apretizing kind
 of muffin is made of nuts, bran and
 honey.
 Always store milk, butter end
 water bottle below the ice in a refri-
 gerator
 A good salad is made with cold tongue, potato and creamed horse
 radish.
 Lemonade spiced with allspice, cloves and cinnamon, is an agreeable change.
 When drying fruits in a. gas oven, an oven thermometer is an absolute necessity.
