RED CROSS
HOME SERVICE

Atlanta, September G.-The fol-
lowing cold facts, set forth in a
report from what may be termed
al average county in the Southern
division of the Red Cross, made
by home service worker, indicates
with merciless plainess the need
for that service HIS planned under

tutional and probationary care
mum Der 70. Of these, half have
been we'll placed in homes, orphan
ages schools hospitals and colleges
as their need indicated and the op-
portunity arose. The children
came to their unhappy situation
principally through poverty and
disease, though the death or de-
sertion of one or the other parent
also contributed a large quota.
On the uglier side of the picture
the worker reported four "incorri-
gible" and IA unmarried mothers,
the principal cause of their way
wardness and misfortune being
lack of proper recreation. Niue
children were reported as never
having been to school, their ages
ranging from s to Is. Seven chill
dren were in dire need of hospital
treatment, two others were dumb
and three were paralytic. Six
were blind and six imbecile.
Fifty adults were found illiterate,
One family had a tragic epidemic

A BREEZE
FROM FLORIDA

Jacksonville, Fla, October 2 -
Mr.. Editor and readers of The
Chronicle: Rain and more Tainl
Florida has been er-abundantly
supplied with that article this sum-
mer. Gardens, those that survived,
were late and most fig trees ripen-
ed their fruit nearly month late.
Today, while it is still raining, [
thought why not write back north;
it will be something to do, for we
can not go to the seashore.
Rambling on the beach is one
of my greatest pleasures since we
came South. It's always interest
ing, but this season there are no
shells on the beach. On one of
my trips in August l found five
long strings of conch shell egg
pockets, all in one little beach
pocket or place where the tide
swirls around sideways. 1t was in
deed prize find. They are rarely
washed ashore. If the editor will
allow space [ will tell you about it.
The animal that lives in the
large beautiful conch shell lays
her eggs in these pockets, which
are on long tough string or cord
of the same toughness as the pock-
cts, and there are from rs to $50
of the pockets, each of which con-
tain dozen or 20 of the little
tiny shell eggs. When they are
far enough developed they gradu-
ally fall out through small open
ing of the pocket into the ocean,
then toss about and grow until they,
too, are large shells. These strings
broke loose and washed ashore
before they had time to hatch.
If anyone wants to see them and
will send postage / will mail them
half dozen. At the same time
would you like pair of pictan
shells? [ gathered them several
years ago. Last summer thought
to tie them together in pairs, so [
drilled holes and tied them with
baby ribbon just for pastime, for
am well along IN years and now
have no special use for them, only
give them away. They are very
pretty shells of different colors,
Now this is in no way an adver-
tisement or in anyway hitched to
one-only just what it reads. I
like to do such things, and if it
suits me you ought to be tickled
to death. Anyone in Benton or
any other county is welcome to
either or both by sending address
and stamp for return postage.
If this sees daylight in print.

God is the Lord" Psalm cxliv
Is. Friends, are you one of those
poor deluded beings who are num-
bered among those who have never
found that happiness for which
your soul, your real self, continu-
ally cries?
The great inquiry is, "Who will
show us any good2 Who will tell
US how to find happiness?' This
May not be expressed in words,
but down in the depths of every
responsible soul dwells this great
question. Some, perhaps, would
reply "Seek it in bags of gold, in
tho riches of the world; money
answereth all things" Another
replies "Seek it in the path of hu-
man greatness and earthly glory" "
A third voice says "You will End it
In the avenues OF pleasure, or the
soft luxurious walks of worldly en-
oyment." And what is the results q?
The poor deluded soul tries each
of these remedies and instead of
finding his anguish removed, the
feverish excitement is increased
and he is more dissatisfied and
wretched than everl
Friends, all these voices call
away from the path of real happi-
ness. Riches are good for what
they are good for, but do not meet
the boundless longings of your
immortal soul. And as for human
greatness and worldly glory and
the soft luxurious walks of world
ly enjoyment, and especially the
latter, they lead down to the very
depths of He'll.
You will find the great secret of
happiness when you find. God.
When you surrender your heart
and life to him.
