DEATH Rate DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES


lives Of thou.ands of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack Of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these institu-
tons averaged as high as twenty or
thirty day in some cases
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good foodW& e~e

Next Wednesday at the Rock Is
land public library. will be opened
the second exhibition of the TTi-
City Art league for the season of
1919-l920, The exhibition will be
open each day from l to 9 o'clock
without charge.
The exhibition is to consist OF 30
Japanese color prints. from the
famous collection of Arthur Davi-
son Ficke. The art of the Japan
csc print has been extinct for al
most a hundred years; and it is
only rarely that the public has an
opportunity to see the masterpieces
OF the art when il was at its prime
The 30 prints exhibited trace the
history of coloT-prints from their
earliest and crude beginnings to the
glowing splendor of their prime.
These designs are very strange
things. which are almost as queer
as they are beautiful. They have
become so famous and so much
sought-after that the best of them
always arouse a great deal of in
terest when they are exhibited.
Among the prints shown are fine
examples Ol lHe NOIh VI mar uHOOu'
the master of graceful girl por-
traits; of Sharaku. the satyrical
caricaturist of actors; of KiyOnaga,
the serene master of statuesque
beauty; and OF Hiroshige. whom
many authorities have regarded as
the greatest landscape artist of the
world. Among the most interest
ing works of the last-named artist
is the finest known copy of his
famous print. THE Bow Moon"
The exhibit will continue until
Nov. 10 and at some time during
the exhibit Mr. Ficke will give n
short talk on Japanese prints, the
exact time TO be announced later

active members are on the associa-
tons rolls and Mrs. Day is about
the only woman on the list. But
that is not the reason they elected
her, president at their recent con-
vention in Portland, Ore. It was
because she believes in it so much
that she naturally leads right off
when anything pertaining to the
business is under discussion.
Il started into the business when
was just 16 years Old says Mrs.
Day THAT was in 1912"
And now that it's out that Mrs.
Day is just %, it might be explained
that she has been complete boss OF
a nursery establishment in Spo-

Then she was known as Miss Ruth
