Thomas is usually dressed in fine
linen. His hair is red, and like
many men he is fond of being
"mothered." He says so himself:

Daddy Delix. I'm just Thomas
Squeelix all by myself. I want a
home, little bit of love and some
adoption"

about their own business, and are

child who takes this picture and
story in her or his hand and goes
to the Bush Terminal Building next
Saturday, December 20, between
one o'clock and five, will be taken
up in the elevator to the Toy City

But the "Mar-Jean" toy city is

we are confronted by the actual facts
that we realize the enormous handi-
caps under which some Of those who
are fighting the White Plague are
laboring. Then the little Red Seals
which we paste so gayly upon our
Christmas packages take In very
deep significance.
Perhaps the Orange Day Camp
School, located at Orange, N. j., is
one Of the most striking examples of
difficulties overcome in the warfare
against tuberculosis. This school for
sixteen tubercular children is an old,
tumble-down barn. Not an up-to-
date, made-over stable studio, but
real barn, with huge, rickcty doors
on rusty hinges; wide, uneven board
nooring across which drafts sweep
from the chinks in the ancient walls,
and great. high-ceilinged loft up
stairs, where the children spend their
rest hours in inclement weather.

1t was during the rest hour after

Orange, who is in charge of the
school. The camp cots had been

A New
Triangle Plot

Now, in the Little Shaver family
a three-cornered race for popularity
is being made by Patsy Doola,
Thomas Squeelix and Ketsy Piper,
Undoubtedly you've discovered the
trend of my affections from my re-
marks about certain red-haired
people. But honestly, if l couldn't
have Patsy I'm sure l could be
happy with Thomas or Ketsy.
Ketsy Piper is very young and
quite scared. She is usually dressed
in yellow and continually puts her
hands up before her face because
she is so shy. Her frightened eyes
appeal to little children. They find
in her something they can comfort
and love; something that needs
them.
Thomas Squeelix is really a very
fine gentleman. AS I said before.

"Our barn, with this acre or so
Of land, was first loaned to us nine
years ago by Charles Lindsey,
president of the league; but within
this past year we have bought and
now own it. The barn, though
picturesque, is the draftiest old
place in the world, between you and
me; but the children are hardened,
so that cold does not affect them.
Still, we will be very glad when our
new building, which we hope to
erect in the near future, is COM

Myer, the motherly-looking assistant,
moved among her charges, quelling
a turbulent spirit here and there,

keep getting uncovered. Quiet
reigned, however, as soon as Miss
Orr came alertly up the drive, all
though we leaned against the side
Of the barn where she could keep
a calm but efficient gaze on the
long line Of cots. And as we talked
the murnur of sleepy, childish
voices drowsed away into silence.
How the
School Is Run
"This school," began Miss Orr, in
answer to our question, "is sup

tuberculosis League, which has to
furnish the food, which must be of
the best; all the camp equipment,
such as the cots, blankets, ETC.; pay

the dispensary department. We,
through our league, appeal to the

responding; but it would be better

"No, indeed" Miss Orr shook her
head emphatically. "The immigra-

that. Most of these children are
Americans, and their tubercular

their ancestors. Our idea is to get

DR.. Garth's Address.

DR.. T. R. Garth, who fills the chair
of instructor in psychology in the
West Texas State Normal School at
Canyon, Texas, was heard here in
the school auditorium last Wednes-
day night on the subject of the
PHILOSOPHY of Education" DR.. Garth
is a graduate from Columbia Univer-
sity, receiving the degree of doctor
of philosophy some years ago.
We have very little opportunity
to quote from the address, but the
essential points were that education
is necessary for the progress of the
human race. 1t is inseparable from
religion. The fact that one genera
ton is responsible to the succeeding
generation for the transmission OF
learning was one of the strongest
points. We must get our learning
from those who precedo us, or fail
ing in that, education would finally
be lost, with all its retrograde re-
suits back to barbarism.

CHURCH OF CHRIST
CONVENTION CLOSED
Large Attendance and Interesting
Proceedings Altogether.

Rev. ]. Randall Farris feels that
the West Tennessee Convention
which closed Wednesday night was
one of the most interesting sessions
of that body. The exercises began
here with a sermon at the First Chris
tian Church Monday. night by Rev.
E. S. Baker, of Dyersburg, subject
HAS Woman Measured Up?" a very
interesting and instructive address
of the spirit of the woman's age.
Tuesday mornings session was
given over to woman's work, Mrs.
Patty presiding. Mrs. Downey, ma
tional worker, was present and very
active with her duties so essential
to the success of the work.
Tuesday afternoon session of the
Christian Missionary Society was
held, with L. G. Glass, of Mississippi,
as president.
Quite a number of speakers took
part in the discussions.
Tuesday night a special address
was delivered by Geo. w. Kemper, of
the McLemore Avenue Church, Mem
phis. Mr.. Kemper is popular and
interesting speaker.
On Wednesday morning the con-
vention was turned over to the Sun
day School work, Mrs. S. P. Moore,
State Sunday School worker, in
charge.
Wednesday afternoon reports from
the various churches and church in
terests were heard. One of the most
helpful discussions of the work was
that of Whether the Preacher is
What he Ought ito be-"
The convention closed Wednesday
night with a special address by At
torney General Sherrod, of Humboldt,
and one by Dr. Walter NJ White, of
Memphis. The latter is the minister
of the Linden Street Church, and was
a representative of the churches of
this part of the State in France and
Germany during the war. His mes
sage was inspirational and very in
teresting.
The city entertained quite a large
number of visitors and delegates dur
ing the convention.
