ed with a military atmosphere. 1T
has paid its handsome tribute to
the greatest American general since
Grant. Never was there a more
modest and unassuming hero. From
the time he arrived at the Shoreham
on Friday of last week. until the
present writing he neither, LETT nor
entered the hotel except through a
lane of enthusiastic men and women
crowded as close to him and his
khaki-colored limousine, as the po-
lice and attendants would permit.
them. And all the time they were
cheering and applauding, as a re-
turned hero deserves.
A pen picture of him would show
a remarkably we'll set up figure,
straight, dignified, good carriage
with an extremely good fitting,
handsome khaki uniform.
His face is scared and marked
with the deepest, strongest lines.
and when in repose is so full OF
sadness and sternness that bright
boyish smile which breaks suddenly
is quite unexpected and induces
spontaneous enthusiasm. From the
lobby of the Shoreham and the
space around the elevators is always
packed solid with people watching
for him to come or 60.
It is not the rank and file OF a
mob, but a lady and gentlemen
crowd of well-dressed people. Cen
eral Pershing always appears sur
prised to see them.
He always hestitates a little in
his walk as he starts through the
lobby, then when the applause starts
and he is sure it is for him, he lifts
his hand to his cap in salute. Usual
" by the time he gets across the
lobby the enthusiasm is great and
off comes his cap and on comes the
broad smile and it is like lifting the
top off OF Bedlam until the khaki
colored limousine flies around the
corner, displaying the generals
flag with the four white stars mod
estly on the back, and very small
sized one, at that.
Dining.
On Friday night he dined quietly
in the dining room of his suite on
the fourth floor of the Shoreham,
the only lady in the party being
Mrs. Marshall, the very good look
ing wife of Colonel Marshall Of the
general staff.
The centerpiece was a miniature
pure white replica of the Archie de
Triomphe. After the dinner the
general drove up TO they home of
( Senator Warren, his father-in-law,
for a call. Next day was his birth
day. He had little private lunch
con, with a beautiful birthday cake
with pink icing. MANY happy re-

white stars were "iced" on the top,

his honor at Grasslands, the most

Children S Pets
Have a Great
Influence
BY JESS SWEITzER SHEAF-
FER.

By JESS sWEITzER sHEAF-
FER.
The child on the farm has many
opportunities to own pets and to live
close to nature which a child in the
city lacks. Nevertheless, there are
number of gentle and very inter
esting pets which a child in the
congested city districts may have.
My children have taken a great
deal of pleasure in caring for their
different pets-of which they have
had quite variety. The first was
canary. Birds are always joy,
especially the canary, which is quite
at home in a cage, and is content
with a vessel of pure water and
fresh seed each day. His CHEEKY
song gives pleasure to the grown
ups as we'll as to the children.
Then, too, goldfish are a never
ending source of wonder and inter-
est to children. The fact that their
environment is so different from our
own, and that they live constantly
under water will start the child to
thinking and asking innumerable
questions. The fish need very lit
tie care and two or three of them
flashing about in a glass bowl are
an attractive addition to any room.
A small piece of especially prepared
fish food broken and dropped into
the bowl every other day and fresh
water once or twice a week, are all
that is necessary for their comfort.
Little shells or pebbles which the
children may have gathered along
the beach in summer can be put into
the bowl, although they are not es-
sential. A few water plants are also
desirable, and help to purify the
water. Our goldfish have thrived
for more than two years with very
little care.
Our family of guinea pigs were
more unusual. and were the clean
est little animals one could find.
"Jack and Jill" were the original
couple. but the children were de-
lighted, upon going out to feed them
one morning, to find three little
baby guineas snuggled down in the
hay! They were the tiniest, furriest
little babies with the pinkest of pink
ears, and just as lively as could be!
They varied widely in color, so the
children Immediately claimed certain
ones as their particular property |
and watched their growth, from day
to day. with great glee. Their
house in the back yard was small
wooden box, about three feet by
four. 1t was partitioned off and
covered with wire netting and one
half Of it was sheltered from the
storms with piece Of oil cloth.
Their snug bed of hay was frequent
ly replenished, for they not only
slept and burrowed in it but nibbled
at it constantly. They liked cab
bage leaves, lettuce, clover and
plantain and also relished a cake
made of corn meal, salt and bran
mixed with water, and baked in the
oven till dry.
My children enjoy kittens and
Bantam chickens, too. but their ia
vorite pet is a big Scotch collie.
He is noble and intelligent, and is
their constant companion. A dog
not only needs food and water, but
also Graves kindness and compan-
ionship to a greater degree than al
most any other animal, and. when
he becomes attached to his master,
is the most dependable sort Of

Chinese w an t
Common Sense
Footwear

Chinese women have started a
campaign of their own for common
sense shoes and perfectly-shaped
feet similar to the one which the
social education department of the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton is waging in this country.
The Chinese campaign is just part
of the work of the National Students
Patriotic society and is being car
ried on by the women students
some 5000 of them, who are included
among the 10000 students enrolled
in this society for creating patriotic
resistance among the Chinese to
misgovernment and foreign aggres-
sion.
The Chinese girls go into the
homes to talk to the women and, as
so few of the women can read the
literature which the students have
telling of their movement and what
they want to do, they have made
large, graphic charts which will en-
phasize the points they make. One
of these is a chart showing the
bound foot of the Chinese women
and the natural, unbound foot, in
such way as to encourage women
to free themselves from ancient Gus
toms. This chart closely resembles
the one which the Y. w. c. A. has
just published for use in the exhibits
in this country, according to Mable
K. Stafford, Y. w. c. A. secretary,
recently returned from tour of
China and Japan.
After getting the women interested
in being free themselves, Miss Stat
ford says the students begin ex-
planning how China should be free
from political bondage. They have
worked out all sorts of ingenious
ways of combining health and social
education with political education
and of injecting political education
into household affairs in such way
that they can interest the women
first in subjects which they know
and gradually arouse them to pa
triotic zeal and understanding.
Miss Stafford found active
groups of students in all of the
cities and districts which she Wis
tied. She told of her stay at the
Y. w. c. A. school for physical
training in Shanghai where, as in
all other schools, the students had
struck from studying in order to
organize and devote themselves to
their patriotic work although they
maintained study hours and carried
on some of their work by them
selves. She said that she entered
one day to find one group of
students on the gymnasium floor
going through their exercises by
themselves. In another part of the
building large group of students
were making things for a bazaar
which was being given to raise
funds for the organization.
Girls do none of the street speak
ing for the campaign. They spend
their time making things, to raise
money, translating leaflets into a
phonetic script which can be read
by the people, experimenting in
ways of manufacturing things which
are scarce since the boycott against
Japanese-made articles has become
effective. going into the homes to
talk to the women, and in interview
ing officials who have refused to
grant the men students what they
have asked.
The four points for which the
students are fighting are: .G the
ousting of pro-Japanese and cor
rupt officials from the government
in Picking; (2) freedom of speech
and of the press; (3) return of Shan
tung to China; (4) cancellation of
the 81 demands made by Japan i'll

Eye Strain
Lavoptik

For QUICK, permanent benefit in
cases of eye strain there is nothing
equal to simple witch hazel, cam
phor, hydrastis, ETC., as mixed in
Lavoptik eye wash. The witch hazel
and camphor soothe and relieve the
inflammation; the hydrastis and
other ingredients have tonic and an
tiseptic properties. One man reports
that TWO applications Of Lavoptik
helped him greatly when his eyes
were so badly strained that he could
not read without pain. We guaran-

SO the thing to consider is how you may

solved this problem for host of people.
In fact. they are so well known that
many physicians prescribe them for in

disorders. They contain ingredients which
act with an alkaline effect. Just as the
stomach does in perfect health. Thus
you may eat those foods you may have
