A philosopher once said that there
II no value to any thought. no matter
how fine or noble, unless 1t Ia trans
formed into action. II you feel up
lifted by beautiful music, do some
thing that will tally with your mood,
and then the music has been worth
while. II you read something that Is
Inspiring, at once do something, no
matter how small. TINT Is little DIFF
ferent and a little superior to your
routine. The theory applies with equal
truth to the reading Of books rs more
than pastime.- Chicago American.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
Constantinople. Aug. 2-All grain
stored in Turkish government ware
houses. millions of bushels, has been
made available for distribution by the
American commission for relief in the
near east by Mahammed VI, the sui
tan of Turkey. following an audience
that monarch has just granted to Maj
David @. Arnold OF Providence. r. l.,
director of the commission.
The sultan. according to- Major
Arnold, expressed his appreciation OF
the American effort to relieve condi-
tons in Turkey and upon the concfu-
sion of the interview issued an order
to the Grand Vizer to Cooperate with
the commission. which now numbers
about $50 American workers. aided by
several thousand assistants.
The commissions field OF operations
covers the entire area Of the old Turk
ish Empire and stations are scattered
from smyrna to Tifiis. in the Caucasus,
Major Arnold. who arrived less than
two months ago and WHO has estab-
lished headquarters here, Was formerly
France. and before the war saw service
with American troops In Mexico. He
is an attorney by profession. The
personnel of the commission includes
many former army officers.
Immense Sums Handled.
The work OF the commission involves
monthly expenditure OF about ST.
100000. Forty-two thousand tons Of
supplies. including large amount of
drugs and valuable hospital equipment,
has already been put to use. In addi-
ton the organization has supervised
the distribution Of 10000 tons OF -four
for the Food Administration. The
supplies have been shipped to Turkey
direct from America but their delivery
into the interior. it Is said, has in
volved every conceivable transport DIFF
ficulty.
1.-THE chief problems that oonfrant
u.s." said Major Arnold today. ARE the
care of refugees and orphans. Condi-
tons are particularly acute In central
Armenia and in the Caucasus. In those
areas many cases Of starvation have
occurred. We are making every effort
to deliver supplies to the points IN
need. During the coming winter there
Is certain to be an immense demand
for clothing. In summer the people
can worry along with vegetables and
odds and enCs OF. food which are avail
able, but in the winter their situation
is bound to be far more serious.
Our general object IL to provide re-
lief for war sufferers The four Gas
es of'persons given first consideration
are refugees. orphans, women and
girls rescued from Moslem homes and
tho sick. We do not discriminate De-
tween nationalities or religions. the
aim being simply to aid suffering hu-
mainly. We aim to provide food. clo-
thing, medical aid. employment ana
housing where possible. At the orphan
ages trades are taught.
Every effort made to get refugees
children and rescued women into COM
munication with friends and rela-
tives in Europe and America who can
provide for them. Repatriation OF
500. 900 refugees, the reconstruction
their homes and the provision of farm
implements Is task so colossal that
it can be undertaken only by govern
ments, we cooperating so far as we
are able Ours is relief work and is

Ornamental Lamp Posts.

There is no feature in municipal
equipment that adds more to the at
Effectiveness of a city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness of interior decora-
tons and furnishings depend in a
large measure upon lighting fixtures,
so the beauty of the street can be en-.
HANGED or marred by its lights. In
each case a satisfactory solution of
the lighting problem consists not only
in supplying sufficient illumination but
also in providing lighting equipment
that harmonizes with its surround
ings and possesses a beauty of its
own. The old-time lamp post in
vogue before the days of electricity
fulfilled the second Of these cOndi-
tons, but not the first; for, although
the post itself was often Il work OF
art, it's feeble oil or gas flame seldom
was equal to the task Of Illuminating
the street. On the other hand, the
modern overhead arc lamp gives a fair
ly satisfactory light, but the ~unsightly
poles, ropes, wires and other equip
ment for raising and lowering the lamp
can scarcely be called beautiful. Now
comes the ornamental street lamp post,
which combines the beauty of n of
its predecessors and the utility of the
Other.-ThOmas j. Davis in The House

Early temperance pledges were often
