+ bulgarian Jews are able to meet
the needs of their own poor, but they
have recently been confronted with
a new responsibility. Roumanian Jews
are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and
their Bulgarian co-religionists are at a
loss to know what to do with them.
There is. no work, even for skilled ar
tisans.
"A soup kitchen is being run for
these people Of Sophia, but many are
desperate An allotment from our
American Jewish relief fund must be
made to care for them"
In Roumania there is need Of cloth
ing and staple foods. 1t was Miss
Goldman who made the investigation
In this country also.
Clothing Greatest Need.
"The people needed clothing above
everything else" her report reads.
almost everybody is shabby, and a
large percentage of the poor are prac-
tically without clothing. / went into
many homes where the inmates had on
mere rags or were huddled in torn
blankets of sacking.
'The second greatest need is for
staple foods, such as dry beans, peas,
rice, vegetables, fats and the like.
Such supplies as are to be had are sold
nt exorbitant prices. American Jew
lsh relief committees should send
clothing and food for about $4,000 per-
sons. Only IL this is done will they
have protection against the hardships
of next winter.
"I was painfully impressed by the
number of sick in Roumania. In Bu-
charest, out of a Jewish population Of
$4,000 there was an average Of eight
funerals a day last winter. A large
percentage of typhus cases in Bucha-
rest and Jassy have been among Jews.
The lack Of clothing, especially Of
clean underwear, has been a contrib
uting cause. The inability to obtain
fuel made families huddle, In their
rooms. Some did not go outside their
homes practically all winter"
Machinery for the effective tdistribu-
ton of relief in the Balkan countries
is in operation. More than 100000
worth Of supplies, Including several
tons of kosher meat, was sent from
New York late in July to Constan1a,
R0umania. The American Jewish re-
lief committee, under the chairman
ship Of Louis Marshall, plans to con-
time regular shipments Of this kind
to the Balkans and to Poland, Galicia,

SMALL BOY IN HARD LUCK
Found Himself Handicapped by the
Fact That He Was Only a
"HaIf Orphan"

We had missed the little fellow
who used to come around every
month with the little paper from
the orphans home Then new
boy showed up on the job.
"What's become of the other boy
who used to bring the paper
around ?" we asked him.
"Who-immie? Oh, he's been
adopted out. Gee, he was lucky. A
big rich farmer out in Kansas took
him and he's going to live out on a
big farm where they's cows and
horses and squirrels and rabbits and
creek runs right through the farm
and everything"
well, he is lucky, sure enough
But maybe your turn will come
one of these days" we said encour-
agingly.
"No chanct," said the new boy
regretfully. "They's five of them
orphans ahead of me. | amt no

HORNETS AT DANCE.

The quickest one-step ever re-

home Of Miss Mildred Quillin, near
Greenwood, Del, when a hornets
nest, gilded and hung in the parlor,
suddenly became alive, when the
room became heated, and mingled
with the guests who were dancing on
the floor.
Miss Quillin was giving an eve
ming party, and as part Of the dec
Grafton had hung up gilded hor-
nets nest found in the woods by q
cousin. 1t was during the evening
while the guests we're dancing that
the supposedly dead nest became
alive and the room was suddenly
filled with awakened hornets.
Some went out through the doors
and some through the windows.
Anyway, all got on. safely and the
hornets were driven outside, where
they quickly succumbed to the cold

MALLARp DUCKS PROFITABLE

Raising mallard ducks is an in
dustry which should be developed as
extensively as possible in order to
supplement the decreasing national
supply of game. The ease with
which the mallard can be bred
makes it the best species for Wild
duck farming, and its beauty, popu-
larity, hardness, adaptability and
fecundity fit it as no other duck is
fitted to be the game duck of the
future.
