to find enough puzzles to keep them con- tented, because you see after they've mas tered one puzzle there's more fun to be had from that one.
 So now there's a puzzle exchange, the only one in New York City. probably the only one in the country. To it you can bring Cor send, if you can't come) your puzzle, when you have finished it, and exchange it for another picture puzzle made up of intricate pieces that will take any one several hours to untangie,
 The puzzle exchange is at the Needle work shop of the New York City Y. w. C. A. Jus. now there is such great de man5 for puzzles at the various debarka- ton hospitals that the women at the Needlework shop are buying large col ored pictures and cutting them them . selves into the most difficult shapes with an eve to keeping wounded men busy for some hours mt a time. A number of New York City clubmen also like to While away the hours at their clubs by solving puzzles and they are bringing theirs to the shop for exchange with those of the soldiers. This keeps a busy stream of fclks hieing to and from the Needework shop with flat packages under their arms People are beginning to know that when all the amusements at home or in the hospitals begin to give out there's always the puzzle exchange. where new games and bright ideas for invalds may be ob- tained.

Salvation Army's national Christmas dinner to the poor that has of recent years taken on huge proportions, the to- tai of people fed on that day of days ap- proximates half a million annually throughout the country. The whole world is aware of it.
 And so I might continue the story ad libitum. It would not be hard to touch hearts by relating some of the tragic stories whispered into eur ears by those who come to our Anti-Suicide League headquarters for advice and help
 Thank God for it all
 Yes, and ten thousand thanks to God for our whole hearted sympathizers and supporters in this great country, upon whom I lean for support in the coming drive.
 I might use reams and reams of paper in describing or trying to do so-the won- derfu way in which the heart of the American soldier and sailor has been cap tured by the efforts of my devoted off cers across seas and in the onmps and cantonments of America. But this is evident on every hand and requires no comment from me. I might also deal at length with our plans for transforming

 Service fund will help.
 Then again, we must have more and
 larger properties. Not all the unchurched
 can be reached in the open-air. But many
 will come to our halls-they will come
 there when they will go nowhere else ex-
 cept perhaps to the movies.
 We must also do more for the unfortu-
 nate in prison cells. People tell me tltlt
 our practical methods in dealing with
 prisoners, coupled with our ever-living
 hope for them and our intense belief in
 the power of God to save them, has
 wrought many a modern miracle with
 the class of person. who once con- demned, is in far too many instances, forever condemned.
 Now l come to the young people. The youth of a nation is one of it's mightiest
 assets We have been criticised some
 times for doing so much for the socially submerged, our friendly critics informing
 us that we should procure far better re- turns by switching our efforts over to the young people, On the principle that prevention is preferable to cure. These good and well-meaning people have some how or other acquired the erroneous idea that we are doing but little for the youth of the country in comparison with what was being done for the aged and broken. It has been my privilege to disabuse their minds on this subject and to convince them ttnt whilst, by the help of God, we do accomplish lot for the class mem tioned, we are equally strenuous in our preventive efforts among the young. What stories could be told of our Slum Settlements, Fresh-Air Homes and Sum mer Camps. Oh. the children-the help less and in many cases hopeless children of America! It is my impression that in no other country has the Salvation Army clAdled as many baby outcasts as here. Children of all sizes and natlonal- ities and shades of color

They met Shamby Mcclure, a negro, who was driving Ford on short curve and narrow road bed The car rammed into the front end of the wagon. throwing Mr. Hamilton and his little boy to the ground, breaking MT.

 After being in session for two weeks, the grand jury has made its report to Judge Almon. The report shows that 144 cases were docketed. and that 6 true bills were returned They found no prisoners in jail, but it reported that the jail needs some improvement Com plaint was made that the present county treasurer had not made bond. and neither had the deputy sheriff The report rec commended that these two officers make bond at once. The report also showed that an investigation had been made into the matter of some stores being kept open on Sundays, aud the selling oi cigarettes to minors. The report shows that both of these laws had been vio lated, and while no bills were found, the officers were asked to look after this matter, at once. It also showed that ths drug stores are not observing the law 1T regard to Sunday sales, and asked tha they comply with the law.
