Americana Chocolatto'' Say Italian Children

kill them off, but the children sing
all the time and so beautifully that
we do not miss the singing of the
birds. We heard them singing
everything from folk songs to
Grand Opera, we would see many
children, and always they were
keenly and happily listening to one
thing only, and that was the music
that was being sung or played"
Pals of the American Soldiers.
THE children of Italy loved the
American soldiers" Capt. Wenck
said, because the soldiers were al
ways interested in them, divided
everything they had that would
please the child, with him, was al
ways truthful. In fact, the soldiers
were so generous with their choco-
late, that the children would cry
when they saw an American sol
der, Americana chocolatto!"
Another thing that surprised the
Italian children greatly was that
every American soldier took bath
every day.
Jasbo is Mascot.
The Army Ambulance with the
Italian army Ito which Captain
Wencke belongs) had mascot,
too, real Italian boy, whose real
name was Ettore, but whom the
soldiers called, "Jasbo." Jasbo
was little fellow about eight
years old, whose father was dray-
man before the war. When the
war come, the government called
in all the horses, SO Ettore's father
did not have anything to do.
Ettore wanted to work. so that
he could help his mother and sis
tiers, and SO he began working for
this company Of soldiers, shining
their boots, getting water, making
their cots and taking their laundry.
Jasbo was very, very honest, and
wouldn't let the generous soldiers
give him any more money that he
thought he ought to have, or any
more candy, although he needed
the money badly and wanted the
candy Just as badly. He worked
for them three months, and was
adopted as their mascot.
When they had to leave they
wanted to bung Jasbo back to the
States with them, but his family
could not bear to part with him.
When the boat left the harbor,
carrying the soldiers away, there
was a very SD Jasbo on the pier,
who watched with eyes full of
tears, the great boat steamed away
carrying his dearly loved pals with
it. And Captain Wencke said that
Jasbo wasn't the only one that was
sad nor the only one that had tears
in his eyes at the thought of part
ing.
But the soldiers hope that some
time Jasbo will visit America. In
fact, his brother is a sailor on an
English vessel, and hopes that per-
haps next fall, he can bring Ettore
over the Atlantic with him.

Tatohekiya Camp
Arouses Interest

Several more camps may be the
result Of the splendid entertain
ment given Friday afternoon and
evening. April rs, BY the girls OF
the Tatohelxiya camp Of the Camp
Fire Girls. A short, but very In
teresting talk By Mr.. Gemans, min
lister OF the First Methodist church
began the program. In this. he
spoke the appreciation that the
Camp Fire Girls all over the
United States feel for the work
Of DR.. Gulick, who died last sum-
mer. Doctor Gulick, with his wife
were the founders Of the organize
ton Of Camp Fire Girls. He spoke
too, Of the devoted work the guard
ians Of the hundreds of camps in
the United States are doing, and
the fine spirit and interest they are
showing In their work.
Then followed the play. where
every girl played her part well.
The Motion Songs brought forth
a great deal OF applause. The
movie, which was the last thing on
the program, showed some wonder
full swimming and diving, in fact
one could almost imagine they
were seeing Annette Kellerman in
some OF her pictures.
The girls made about forty dol
lars ON the entertainment, which
amount they will apply on the ex-
penses of their camping trip this
summer.
One Of the best results Of the
play is that many people became
interested in the Camp Fire Girls
and different Sunday schools are
planning to organize camps. Does
not that sound fine?

Dear Aunt Polly:
! am little girl, ten years old.
We once lived in a house and 1t
caught on fire and we burned out.
Now it is remodeled and we moved
back. but my sister still has fear
of fire. Do you think we will burn
out again? M. s. M.
Dear M. s. M:
am not surprised at all, that
your sister is afraid of fire. would
be too, think, If we had ever had
our house burn down. No, 1t very,
very seldom happens that the same
house has two big fires. really
do not think that there Is any dan
ger of it happening again. I GER
tainly hope not. Being careful, has
a great deal to do with preventing
fires. Examining the chimneys
every once in while, and being
very careful with matches, gaso-
line and coal oil and things like
that, help wonderfully in keeping
fires away, although even that will
not mean absolutely that you will
not have any more fires. You have
no more reason, though, to be
afraid any more than everyone else
as the fact that your house burned
once does not mean that 1t Is any
more likely to burn again than any
other house in Richmond.
Aunt Polly.
Dear Aunt Polly:

High school begin basket ball?

Special Programs and Dances Are Given

Christmas week infused its warmth
into the programs of women's clubs and
organizations. The bright lights of
Yuletide shone for families and friends
Of club members Here a dance was
given for the daughters and sons Of
their club mothers; there dinner, ar
ranged for husbands, - reception
given for friends In other organiza-

In most cases the club went outside
its own circle entirely and entertained
or gave actual help to those less for
tunate. Christmas trees in settlement
houses, dinners for hungry families
temporarily absorbed the attention Of
women who have studied civic problems
and read the latest plays all year. The
feeling Of responsibility to give seemed
universal in the club world this year,
