Mrs. Norman Short

sXMi's. India Evans Short, beloved
ne of Norman Short, of Rhodesdale,
3 at her home Sunday morning at
%elock, after an illness of ten
of influenza, which developed
double pneumonia
M addition to her husband, she is
&Eiyed by one son, Roger Lee, aged
'tx5 years; a father and mother, Mr..
2n& Mrs. ]. w. T. Evans, of Will
dBton, Del; four sisters and two
k6fhers, as follows: Mrs. Willie
1Jes, of Elliott Mrs. Robert Della
Mrs. Earl Moore and Miss Fran
~ Evans, of Wilmington. Messrs.
Raymond Evans, of Cambridge,
d Albert Evans. of Wilmington.
Funeral services were held at her
home near Rhodesdale Wednesday,
atS2 p. M, with Intern ent in East
N6w Market cemetery.
She was well known, having tau
ght in the public schools of the coun-
tyefor several years prior to her
marriage. She was lovely Chris
tian character, who portrayed in her
life of devotion to her Maker an ex-
emplification of the life and wishes
Of Him Whom she served so faith
fully, having been a member of Ell
lott M. E. Church since she was fif-
teen years of age.
Words fail to express how she
served her companion, her child, her
home and all those whom she loved;
how diligently and faithfully she per-
formed every duty, and fulfilled ev-
cry task that would add to the COM
fort of her loved ones.
She contracted the dread disease
while nursing her sick husband, who
IS now recovering, being SO faithful
and untiring in her efforts that her
physical energy was consumed, thus
rendering herself unable to with
stand the disease.
Every attention was given her that
was possible, but God saw best to
call her to His fold. Her influence
was never felt but for good, and we
know she is not dead, but sleeping,
antil that last day when the choicest
treasures are all garnered.

And shield his life from grief.

In our family's cherished chain,
But it's great to know you've crossed
the brink,
And are free from earth's toll and
pain.
India, our hearts are sadly torn,
Not because you've gone safe
home,
But all because it's hard to be borne,
The loss which makes us sad and
lone.
Oh, India. We know God has you
Placed within His choicest fold,
And we all shall your face view
When we too have reached our
goal. F. E.

A bill for an act to establish an art
commission has been drawn up by
William Dudley Foulke and will prob
ably be introduced soon in the legis-
lature. This bill provides for state
commission of FIVE members, one of
which shall be appointed to serve a
term Of four years, one three years.
one two years and one one year and
fifth member shall be the Director
of John Heron Art Institute of Indi-
annapolis. The appointments are to
be made by the governor the first day
OF June OF each year. One OF said
members shall be an architect, an
other painter or sculptor, and two
may have business professions but
shall have a knowledge Of arts.
The members are to work without
pay but an appropriation Of $1,000 a
year is included to cover any travelling
of incidental expenses. The commits
sion shall have power to adopt it's
own rules of procedure
A second section of the bill provides
that no work of art shall be erected
or become the property Of the state
or any county or municipality unless
such work of art or the design of the
same together with the statement of
its proposed location, shall have first
been submitted to the commission and
approved by the majorit.
third section in part, says, that it
shall be the duty of the commission
to act in an advisory capacity relative
to the construction, erection, and re-
modelling by the state or any county
or municipality OF any structure built.
Reasons for the creation and pass
age OF this bill have been set forth as
follows: After the close Of the war,
in addition to the usual statues and
public structures there will be num-
Der Of memorials erected in honor OF
Indiana heroes. Their construction
will begin very soon and vast
amount of money will be expended in
their erection. The two million sol.
diers returning from France who have
been face to face with the beautiful
structures Of art and classical archi-
lecture will not be satisfied with me-
MORALS erected in their honor if done
in the haphazard way of former years.
Art commissions have not original
ed in Indiana but have already been
formed In other states as far back as
1887, when one was formed in Con-
necticut
Persons are not to be misled as to
the powers Of this commission. 1t
has nothing to say about the kind of
memorial shall be built or the
amount Of money that shall be expend-
ed on it's erection but serves as an
advisory committee.
At a meeting held in Indianapolis
in January this bill was drawn up and
presented Among those present were

URGES NEEDS OF
SERBIAN PEOPLE
(By Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-"Send ship.
load OF clothing to Serbia" Is the plea
OF Madame Slavko Grouitch, wife Of
the minister to this country from the
new kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes, who started today an or
ganized effort to obtain from the
American people the material desper-
ately needed by Serbians.
Not only manufactured clothing but
cloth by the yard and especially foot
wear Is desired. according to Nine.
Grouitch. honorary chairman of the
Serbian Aid Fund Clothing committee,
which has undertaken the task OF col
lecting the clothing and which has its
headquarters at 33S Madison Ave-,
this city. Arrangements have been
made to receive there all express or
parcel post shipments. Transporta-
ton to Serbia has been arranged
through the Washington legation OF
the new Jugo-slav kingdom.
'In many Serbian families there Is
but one wearable garment" said Nine.
Grouitch. During the war, Serbia
was so nearly inaccessible that relief
work was almost impossible. Since
Serbia is SO percent farming coun-
try, there was little merchandise in
the whole kingdom, and the first Aus
trian invasion Of 1914 completely de-
vastated the richest quarter. In sue
cessive invasions. all movable goods
furniture. clothing. plows and cattle
were stolen, so that upon their re-
turn from exile, the. Serbians found
their country stripped OF everything.
In order to live, they must work their
farms The men are making rude i'm
Elements and the women trying to
construct looms. But they have no
raw materials with which to work. and
unless clothing Is sent in time for the
planting season they cannot start
their crops, and will be faced by fam
inc.
1.-THE men are already broken in
health, crippled and tubercular. The
women, worn out by the struggle for
existence, are bent and aged. The
children--(all under eight years of age
have died, for milk and chocolate have
not been tasted in Serbia for three
years. are anaemic and tubercular.
Yet in spite OF physical handicaps,
these brave people are eager to re-
build Serbia. and we are appealing to
our American allies for clothing in
which they can work Underclothing,
outer garments, and especially foot
wear, must be sent at once to Serbia
if thousands of lives are to be saved.
