Red Cross Establishes Truck
 Farms in France.
Supplies Recreation and Employment to ConValescents and lnereases
 4s Food Supply.

Paris.-With a view to supplying recreation and employment to cOnVal- eScents, and incidentally Increasing the food supply, the American Red Cross has established ten truck farms In connection with base hospitals in France where. under trnned superyi- sion, the convaleScentS are raising vegetables for consumption in the hos pitals. The number of farms will be increased during the year, the Ameri- can Red Cross supplying seed, imple- ments and trained supervision, as well as money for operating expenses.
 At one place, where there are three base hospitals together, farm of 100 acres is now under cultivation, though the average farm is about eight acres. Two of the larger farms are equipped with tractors. For the most part, how ever, the work is hand labor, that the convalcscents may profit to the utmost from the outdoor exercise.
 Owing t. climate conditions garden Ing is an all-the-year-round occupation In France and is carried on in most intensive way, with every inch of ground under cultivation and rows be tween rows, as, for instance, cabbages between rows of potatoes. When plants are removed in the morning the ground is worked over during the day and by night the soil is again at work on freshly Sown seed. No charge Is made the hospitals for the produce, but accounts are kept and 1t is expect ed to show that the farms more than pay for the cost of operation.
 Through these gardens many French Pollus will have their first taste of the great American dGlicacy, "corn on the cob" A greater use of a variety Of vegetables is made iu France than in America and the Red Cross is supply ing seed for beans, beets, cabbage, caullfower, brussels sprouts, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, ChicOry, corn, cu- cumbers, leeks, lettuce, melons, machO salad, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes, parSnips, pumpkins, radIshes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, turnips, cress, fen nel and sorrel. A large amount of the last is used both as a boiled vegetable and in making SOup.i

GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK
GLondon MlchaeI". and Countess En- dure ReVerses Uncomplalningly
 in London.

London.-One of the Russian grand dukes, known as the London Michael" to distinguish him from the other Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from great wealth to comparative penury as a result of the Russian revolution.
 Before the war he lived in one Of the finest residential estates in the neighborhood of London. When his income from Russia was cut off he subleased this property and is now clerk at $2,O00 a year in an office near Westminster abbey. His wife, the Countess Torby, conducts their small home with zest and without grumbling.
 Probably no family in Great Brit ain has endured greater reverses than this one, or borne Its misfortune more cheerfully," comments the Evening News.

BARRIERS BEM0AN TRADE LOSS
Women Who Are Taking Mems Places In Industries Are Not Helping
 TonsoriaI Artist.

Memphis, Tenn.-Women taking tho place of men in the industrial world may be filling the jobs all right, but they are not helping the barber.
 Visit any tonsorial establishment and ask the man who wields the gleam- ing blade. He will tell you some of his best customers have gone-gone to fight the Germans. And he will tell you that all the women who took their places are strangers to him.
 While the barber complains the "beauty doctor" has a different story to tell. She says her patrons are more numerous than ever before, and they are more liberal. They spend money lavlshly. A few dollars to re- move wrinkle that has appeared as a result of business worries Is handed over without a murnur. Powder and paint and toilet water are used laV- lshly.

MANY EUROPEAN BOYS AND GIRLS SEEKING
 WILSON'S AUTOGRAPH

Paris, Jan. 7.-President Wilson is receiving letters from all over Eu rops from boys and girls who want his autograph. Some want more, seeming 10 think that he has brougt Christmas gifts from America.
 The president cannot possibly an swer all these letters, but to each IittleI letter an official letter is go- ing from the Paris white house ex- pressing the presidents appreciation
 To one 7-year-old boy in Madrid who wrote a touching letter in which he said he thought President Wilson was an international santa Claus. the president did send an au- tograohed reply.

fighting the flu, but ik is n6t posi- tive that this amountj or anY oth- CT amount will be forthcoming.
 Should something block the allow aucs of the appropriation asked for by Governor Riggs. skagway will be confronted by mass of bills which will have to be paid.
 In the meantime, Skagway gives fires medical attendance. board and lodg.Rs to transients with the ex- pectation that it will get pay from the government for this service.
 Skagway is performing an inter national favor or deed in detainlng persons coming from influenza in feeteG districts who are enroTte to the interior of Alaska, and North ern British Columbia and Yukon Territory. Should the efforts of Governor Riggs fail in securing the appropriation sought for this pur- pose, then the expenses incurred by Skagway will have to be borne Dy the taxpayers, and is this just?
 h another column, it is noted that Cordova Is detaining all tran slents arriving in that city for ten days, and they are taking the pre- caution ot making those so deta1nea pay for their keep. CordoVa, 1t seeT to us, is merely cautious.
 As a matter of fact, few of those thus far detained in Skagway by reason of the health regulanons have peen Skagwayans, and as tran sients a. this season of the year ar- almost all compelled to remain bere from two to five days at some one or the hotels, 1t Is not asKlns toe much to require them to pay TOT their keep at the hospital annex.
 l. is certainly not fair to run skagway into 8 heavy debt in order tha. the interior may be protected tbis debt to ultimately be paid by the tax payers Of Skagway. It IS admitted that this may be paid out of government funds, but until such funds are assured, it might be saTe for the health board to require the travelling public to "pungle" up.

NEWEST OF SLACKERS
Is Person Who Encourages Buy.
 ing of Platinum JeWelry.
Government Must Have Metal If War Machine IS to Be Kept
 Going.

Washington, D. C.-The newest type of stacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, Is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum Jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country Is anG for many years will be desperately In need of the scarce and precious platinum in its industrial work and must have 1t If the war ma chine Is to go full speed ahead.
 A plan proposed by the federal Offla cials would stop the use of platinum iR jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the sltua- tion are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum.
 In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in Its war program, the war industries board has ordered that 75 per cent of the stock of platinum In the hands of manufacturing jewellers be cOmman- deered and also the complete stock held by refiners, importers and deal CTS, but this, it Is said, will only fill small gap and that temporarily.
 It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whIms of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand gold and silver or a white alloy and so release platinum for its highest use, but the results have been dlsappOint ing.
 The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,000 chemists of the country, which is also back of this movement, has is- sued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum jewelry, but to conserve this unique and fast dwindling metal now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
 FROM CHRISTIAN
 SCIENCE MONITOR

The story of President Wilson's desk st the White House is told oy q London newspaper. It recalls such a happy little incident in the past relations Of the United States and Great Britain that it is quite worth giving once again. In 1So2' a. N. 5. Resolute was sent to the Arctic in search of Franklin, but getting into difficulties, she was abandoned by her crew. Three years later an American whaler eX- tricated and lowed the ship into port Tha Resolute was then pur- chased and refitted by the United States Government and sent to Eng land. by President Franklin Pierce as & token of good will and friend ship.
 Somo little time atterward, De- ing past service, the Resolute was broken up in Plymouth dockyard' and riom her timbers queen YictorI had a desk made, which she sent to President Buchanan, as a me- moria' c- "the courtesy and loving kindness" which had prompted his predecessor to send the VesseI back to England. The desk has ever since been the one used by success siye presidents Of the United States for tbeir official correspondence.
 A :uel conservator advises those disposed to do things that will help in winning the war to walk downstairs instead of taking the ele- yator, if ones office is not above tha fifth floor. Walking will be wearing On shoe leather and stair steps. Why would it not be more patriotic to slide down on the balus- trade, or upon what the occupants or office buildings used to call "Danisters" when they were boys?

 In one suit his watch and all . the money that he happened to have with him, 50 cents, wero attached. Lewis, through his at tJrney, claims that the watch is wearing apparel, "adOrnment," and cites the Century dictionary for proof.

the strong comforter of the down.
trodden and the weak.
True greatness is neither OBJ
trusive nor aIoof. While it is firm
and unmovable in the face of tyr
amy, it knows how to stoop in the
spirit of the Savior to the Cypress
ed of every land and creed. Car
dinal MERCER typifies what is best
and highest in human nature, what
is greatest and purest in Christian
ity. Therefore he is equally at
home in the world and in the
church, whose problems and diff
culties are identical at bottom.
The eminent rank he attained in
the hierarchy of his church IS
commonly held to be in recogni-
ton of his intellectual greatness.
The commanding position uhani-
mously accorded him by men in
all walks of life has been ascribed
to personal magnetism" He him

He is the living exponent of the
supernatural; the living answer to
that invidious question often asked
of late: what has been the influence
of the war on religion? The war
may have left a few shallow minds
untouched in the presence of sacri-
fee and death, and blind to the
great realities of the other world.
But it has set out in relief the fact
so often recalled by the cardinal TO
the minds of his stricken flock;
that men do not live for this earth
only; that suffering has another
worldly meaning; that we are our
true selves only when grasping
fully into ultimate significance in
connection with a life beyond the
grave. In one of his pastoral let
tiers he spoke of the joy of suf-
fering." a strange saying to many
ears, but a reality in his own per-
son. Tribulations manifold and
crushing have Left no trace on his
kindly countenance, only an In
spring smile, reminding all that
true happiness is within.
An ideal and an inspiration to
all who were privileged to get even
a glimpse of him; a vision of moral
beauty, truth and fortitude, the
memory of which will become
dearer as the years go by and will
be treasured up for life. the COM
