ed" exclaimed her mother and taking
the money from Roselle she ran out
to get food for her husband.
When she got home the table was set
and Roselle was looking out of the
window. Steaming food was o
placed on it. They said their grace
and went to bed happily.
Next morning Roseile started of
to get some fagots. AS she was pass
ing a canal she heard two men speak,
ing in low tones under The dixie. h
thought they were discussing business
and stopped to listen, but to her hor-
ror one of them said, w will make
a leak in all the d.kes and the coun-
try will be flooded" Good" said the
other nan and then Holland will be-
long to our King, King of Austria
Hungary. Roselle threw the bundle
down she was carrying and started to
run to the governors house two miles
away. When she reached the u
she ran right in without knocking.
The governor and his wife were hav-
ing their breakfast. What is the
matter child 2" Two men under the
dixie at Herben's canal are going to
make a leak in 1T" Then b.ackness
surrounded her. When she awoke she
was lying on a rich couch, the gov
errors wife bending ove her. You
are going to be paid handsomely.
Those men were captured, your
family is going to live here with u.s."
And so it fell out. Roselle's father be-
came very Wealthy and Roselle went
to a private school and they all
lived happily aver after.

Perth Amboy.

Perth Amboy.
Dearest Helen and Girls:
l have just received a visit from
my cousin and she told me some
more about the wonderful Y. w. C. A,
out where she lives 1 asked her to
write to this darling column and she
said she would think it over, because
she Ives a great distance from here
and receives the paper once in a week
but l guess she will write / am send
ing in another story. If no good,
Helen, don't put it in.
The Bravo Little Dutch Girl.
BY AMETA.
Once upon a time there lived a girl
named RoSelle S~teinheidt, who lived
with her parents in a little cottage
by the side Of Gretchen Canal. Though
they were very poor the mother kept
the little house as clean as glass. AS
I had said before they were poor, Ro-
selle had to go every day to gather
fagots for her mother. The way led
through q beautiful field. Every time
she passed she would stop to gather
blowers for her mother. To help
support the family after she had
gathered fagots would sit down on
the doorstep and knit some stockings.
Everybody that passed gave her a
smile for she was very kind, gentle
and sweet. 1t had been a terrible
winter and Roselle's father had been
taken sick and they were as poor as
ever. Roselle's dearest treasure was
a flower pot, in II stood a stately tulip
red nj yellow. She would tend 1t as
fondly as a mother would her child.
Al last she saw her father was in
wan OF good food, so she resolved to
sell the tulip. Then one day she took
1t n went towards the market. She
was welcomed everywhere. She sat
down on a stone at the entrance OF
the market and waited till someone
came along. Pretty soon a pleasant
lady came by and said, My dear lit
tie girl are you trying to sell this
pretty flower?" Eyes man." said
Roselle. why are you selling 1t for
to buy q doll?" At this remark tears
came into her eyes. mo l am not
selling il for a doll. but for my father.
He is very sick and we are SO poor
Then the lady said, II will give you
some money and you keep your tu-
lip" Roselle could not keep from
crying out, You are so good! You are
SO good" The good lady put in her
hand a ten dollar bill. 1t looked so
much TO poor Rosele. Thank you
very much exclaimed Roselle and ran
home to tell her mother the good
news. When she got home she said
to her mother, Mother a kind lady

Dear Helen and Girls:
l am not going to write very much
only ask you something and write
the legend. Do you think we could
ever have a Y. w. C. A.?
Legend of the Muskingum River.
Ohio was the daughter of an In
dian chief. At marriageble age had
many wooers, but would have none.
One day a messenger came from an
other tribe and she fell in>love with
him. After they were married a son
was born to them. Muskingum, who
was named after his father. While
out hunting one day Muskingum was
struck by lightning. Ohio mourned
for him. Not long after his death
there came a drought and the wise
men planned a sacrifice. Ohio and
her son were to jump from a cliff
that night. The next day in place
of her n her sons body flowed two
rivers. The Ohio river and the Mus
kingum, a branch Of It,"
SCOTLAND"
I can only say in answering your
question concerning a Y. w. c.. A.
that Il sincerely hope So"

Phosgene, chlOrpgorin and mustard gas

Other war gases are obtained from
outside plants by rail. The capacity
of these plants is more than 12o,ooo

such that men in direct contact with
the liquid gas are not required to wear
masks. The filed shells are returned
from filling machines and are classl-

GAS MEN PLAY A BIG

Upon these 300 acres have been con-

II was attempted 10 run the arsenal
with civilian labor, but the hazardous
character of the employment made this
class Of employee SO uncertain, al
though fancy wages were offered, that
1t became necessary to use enlisted
men exclusively throughout the plant.
The result has been that work of
u highly specialized nature and extra
hazardous has been done by men re-
ceiying from $50 a month up, and un-
der rigorous military discipline.
The research laboratory work of the
arsenal has been highly fruitful and

be mild in comparison with the more
terrible products of Edgewood. of

foretaste when the armistice was

"Came to Teach, Remain to Learn"
Two experts, Colonel Aud and Cap

1917, for the construction of a gas
shell filing plant at Edgewood, under

PLAN THE WAR GARDEN NOW
More Food Than Ever Before Should

This Year.

The ending of the war has placed
additional obligations on the American
people. We have not only our friends
the allies TO feed. but our former enc
mics must also be kept from starva-
tion.
The larger part of the people of the
evacuated regions are destitute: they
must have food and this country Is
the only place Il may be had In suf-
ticient quantities. This means that
we win be asked to get along with less
meats. fats, grains and sugar and
make UP the difference with things we
cnn grow In our own gardens. The
home gardens OF America must be re-
lied upon for larger proportion Of
our living than ever before.
Potatoes. bcets. carrots, peas, corn

portant garden crops from food
standpoint Radishes. lettuce. onions.
cucumhers, turnips, squash. cabbage,
