HUNDRED MILLION
TO HUNGRY EUROPE
PRESIDENT REQUESTS IMMENSE
SUM TO SUPPLY FOOD FOR
STARVING PEOPLE.
Declares That Food Shipments Worth
Billion and Half Dollars Must
Be Made From United States to
Europe Within Seven Months.

Washington. President Wilson's
first legislative recommendation based
ON his study of conditions in Europe
looks to the relief of distress of popu-
lations outside of Germany" which are
threatened with starvation.
Requests for immediate appropria.
ton of $100,000,000 to supply food to
liberated peoples of Austria, Turkey,
Poland and western Russia, who have
no recognized governments and are I'M
able to finance international obliga-
tons, was transmitted Saturday to
congress by Secretary Glass on cabled
Instructions from the president.
The presidents message said that
food shipments worth 81, 100000
must be made from the United States
to Europe in the next seven months.
An international organization direct
ed by Herbert G. Hoover, will super
wise the distribution of the supplies,
most of which will be paid for by per-
sons able to find the necessary re-
sources. The appropriation requested
by the president will take care of the
population IN Otnef ulstflctS, Hotdpiy
In eastern and southern Europe, which
have been ravaged by war and where
freedom and governments Will emerge
only ''slowly" out of chaos
In appealing ito the great sense of
charity and good will of the American
people toward the suffering" the presi-
dent said:
'.While the sum of money is in itself
large, it is so small compared to the
expenditures we have undertaken in
the hope of lettering the world that 1t
becomes a mere pittance compared TO
the results that will be obtained from
1t and the lasting effect that will re-
main in the United States through an
act of such broad humanity and states

TO HONOR FRANKLIN
U. s. TO CELEBRATE 2fsTH BIRTH
DAY or PHILOSOPHER.
age Continuance of National
Thrift.

Washington. Benjamin Franklin
whose pictuer adorns the 1919 issue o.
the War Savings certificates, win have
on January This 213th birthday
one OF the most unique birthday cele
brations ever undertaken In honor OF
distinguished American. Ii will have
the full backing OF the United States
government
The event will be celebrated through
special exercises to be held in the pub
lie schools throughout the country and
/ by various childrcn's organizations.
More than 10000 War Savings socie-
ties will make the day special one.
In these and many other ways the ma
ton will join In paying n gigantic
tribute to Benjamin Franklin, whose
words of wisdom on thrift and saving
are familiar In every American home.
The purpose of this birthday cele-
bration is To encourage the continu-
ance of national thrift. Americans.
pre-war MASTERS, became notable saw
ers under wars pressure. Nationalizing
this newly acquired thrift habit is the
task undertaken by the United States
treasury. Wise buying, sane saving
and sane investment are the watch
words of the 1919 thrift program.
In Franklln's day the almanac was
one of the most popular forms OF Ut
erature. For years Franklin himself
was the author of an almanac bearing
the signature of Richard Saunders,
popularity known as Poor Richard.
Many of Franklin's trite sayings are
as applicable now as then.
Money can beget money, and Its
offspring can peget more, and so ON,
said Poor Richard" in his advice to
a Young Tradesman.'
''IIe that waits upon fortune Is new
er sure of dinner again said Frank
lin. Look before or you'll find your
self behind. Beware of small ex-
penses a small leak will sink great
ship"
These and many other Of Franklin's
sayings win be utilized as texts in spe-
cial birthday anniversary events on
January IL.
Officials of the United States gov
eminent point out the necessity for
continued thrift There are many
tasks neEurope to be completed the
army OF occupation must be main
tanned. and many hundreds of thou
sands of American soldiers are to be
returned To their homes. The treas
ury department has therefore launched
a program Of education of the Ameri-
can people in thrift and saving. This
program viii reach every line of en-
deavor.

BOHEMIA LAND OF PATRIOTS
and Its People Has Been Far
From the Truth.

When Shakespeare wrote of 'the
seacoast Of Bohemia" he showed no
cheerfuller disregard OF fact than
most of us Dow do when we think OF
that richly stored country as land
OF gypsies forever bent upon gay OF
wildsome adventure. Bohemian" has
stood for many an age as an appella-
ton for carefree wanderers; yet as
originally applied by the French 1t
probably referred to the expatriated
disciples of the Bohemian martyr,
John Huss. Spiritual and patriotic
fervor rather than lightheartedness
are the traditional marks of this
people, who after long generations Of
subsection to Teuton Austria are COM
ing into their OVID.
Bohemia was the home of the
Czechs for hundreds of years before
Germanic invaders broke in upon its
happy freedom. as early. indeed, as
the sixth century before Christ. The
Czechs' love OF country and of liberty
and their sense of Slavic kinship with
their oppressed Slovak brethrep dwell
ing near by never died or dimmed.
Despite tyranny and persecution they
have chung to pride in their past and
to hope for their future; they have
cherished their language. their lltera-
turo and customs. their common faith
and ideaIs.-Atlanta Journal.

FOR CONTROL OF UGLINESS
Science Should BE Capable Of Rem
edyinq or Preventing Defects,
Either Physical or Mental.

Why Is 1t that one member Of q fam
| lily is ugly or imperfectly developed.
while all the others are practically
perfect IN form and features?
Nearly every family has Its ugly
member. If the defects happen TO be
physical the sufferer Will be known
as the runt of the family, or If the de-
fects are of the morals. as the black
sheep.
There are good and sufficient causes
for all physical and moral ugIiness and
there is no reason why these causes
may not be discovered and controlled.
Why should one member Of q fam
lily be made sick by eating the same
food the others eat and that he has
often eaten before?
To say that 1t doesn't happen TO
agree with him may be satisfactory to
some, but to the intelligent. inquiring
physician 1t is not There is some
thing wrong with the human machine
or 1t would produce proper results.
To the mechanical engineer improper
results are suggestive either OF lack
or OF a peryersion Of energy. The or

failed to do its proper share Of work

share OF nerve force.
