Helen had the whooping cough and so was not invited to her little friend Margaret's birthday party, though the invitation list included all the other children in the neighborhood. On the morning of the affair the telephone girl might have overheard the follow ing conversation:
 "Hello.'
 Hello, is this Margaret Hillfelds house?' >e
 "Yes.'
 'Is this you, MargaretY'
 "Yes. Who is this?''

RED CROSS BUREAU BIG
 HELP TO NAVY MEN
Shifting Nature of Service Keeps Department Ever on the
 Alert.

With the American fleet no longer securing the seas for enemy craft. the work of the American Red Cross at the naval stations, shipyards, naval hospitals and other assemblage points for Uncle Sam's bluejackets has more than doubled.
 There are forty-one naval stations, shipyards and hospitals in the terri tory of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross which now are among the principal debarking points for the men of the navy. This means that the Att lantic Division, which includes New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, contains a large portion of the navy's high water marks of operation and consequently it's activities are on an unusually large scale in order to meet the needs of the thousands of sailors who are constantly coming and going in the Third Naval District
 Service for the navy is wholly diff ferent matter from service for the army. In the latter men "stay put" for a much longer time than in the former. With the navy, where the shifting scene of f~operatiOn is on the high seas anywhere from Guantanamo to Gibraltar, personal contact between Red Cross workers and enlisted men Is far more difficult.
 When one works with the navy one must be constantly on the alert, with one's finger on the trigger" so to speak, else the opportunity for service will be gone before it is grasped. This condition calls for high degree of efficiency and training on the part of the Bureau of Naval Affairs workers an efficiency and training that have not been found wanting, despite han dicaps, as results show.
 Loans for Sailors.
 No sailor on leave who wished to reach home and who was without funds has been deprived of that pleas ure, thanks to loans advanced by the Red Cross. Red Cross representatives covering all forty-one stations in the Third Naval District have also fur nished information as to the where abouts of enlisted men when requests have come in from relatives and friends.

The Bazaar of Lucknow.

Q sacrifice, and the dealer knows ex- actly where lives the rich Indian who pays, without much haggling, the top most price.
 The glory of the bazaar, like that of practically all that was picturesque, mad given way to the vitally needed sanitary measures. But the bazaar still exists, although rather in what we would call open or general mar kets. Undoubtedly they continue to offer many temptations spread before the covetous eyes of the foreign vis- itor in such a1luring ways that the end of purchasing is not reached even when the bottom of the purse is, be- cause the dealers are only too glad to send their wares to the hotel to be paid for at masters or madam's con- venience, and lots of other 'srare bar gains which cannot be duplicated"
 Most Fascinating of Streets.
 Mir. Curtis Modern India" says of Delhi's Chandni Chauk, "Silyer Street." that it is fairly called "the most picturesque and fascinating street in the world" Between the two rows of trees that grow along the cen ter of it's width of 75 feet there was formerly an aqueduct of clear, rum ming water, that is now filled, and its banks are the great promenade for the city's. gentry, both foreign resi- dents and natives.
 But the street is marvellous for the adeptness of the shopkeepers in "spot- ting'' the stranger. Let visitor from abroad appear, no matter how perfect ly Che, at least, thinks) he has dis guised himself in proper Indian garb, he is bounced upon by a swarm of shopkeepers, and besought to avail himself of the bargains that were new CT before offered, and never will again fall to his good fortune, until he either yields and secures, sometimes a true bargain, but often lot of rub bish, or calls to his relief friendly policeman, usually a swarthy Sikh Sometimes it is most amusing when rival merchants grapple each other in their frantic efforts to secure the mo-. nopoly of seemingly profitable GUS toner, and the policeman's services are required to separate the belliger- entS.

Freak FiddIes.

The story of freak fiddles would fill a book. They have been made of tin, copper, iron, leather, glass and paper. They have assumed many wonderful shapes. Last year, in Los Angeles, a blind fiddler used to play on the corner with a fiddle that had no body. A tin horn did the work of the ordinary sound box of the violin This was the invention of local man. A certain corporation making phonograph records in the east uses an aluminium violin. This instrument is scientifically constructed and used by one of the greatest artists in mak- ing records of his solos for reproduc- ton on talking machines. Even the highest priced old violfns do not sound as one expects a violin to sound when it is reproduced on record. This aluminium violin corrects that and the listeners sit entranced at the sweet tones of the record. The violin, itself, has a most disagreeable tone.- Los Angeles Times.

Whisky Still Found

Knoxville, Tenn.-It is noth- ing unusual to find illicit distil- leries hidden in caves, cellars or in dense undergrowths of noun tain laurel, states T. B. Wins, veteran moonshine raider of the internal revenue department. But to find one perched in the top of a towering oak tree is quite a novelty, he says.
 MT. Wins located a large cop per still in such a place when conducting raid in the famous old Tenth district, or Sevier county, Tennessee. The outfit was dislodged and destroyed.

Oldest Customer in Nation.

Columbus, O.-The oldest dry goods customer in Ohio, and likely the old est customer of any store in this country, was claimed by B. M. Thir- kield at the Ohio Retail Dry Goods as- sociation convention. He said he was connected with the department store of B. B. Thirkield & Sons company at Franklin, and that James Mclean, one hundred and four years old, made his first purchase in that store March 10, 1884, S5 years ago, and that he is still a good customer.

steamina Paper.

Stripping wallpaper from the walls of room is tedious and unpleasant task. The following method has been found to do this work satisfactorily Remove all furniture from the room and take up the floor covering; place in the middle of the room some kind of a portable stove with big pan of water on top. Light the stove and close all the windows and doors: when the room becomes full of steam 1t will soften the paste which has been used for sticking the paper on the wall. After an hour or more of the steaming it will be easy to remove the paper.

MOTOR WOMEN HAVE
 SPLENDID RECORD
Help Army Medical Authorities Evacuate and Debark Wounded
 and Sick From Transports.

Starting little over a year ago with 10 members and automobiles. the Motor Corps of the Metropolitan Dis trict of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, composed exclusively of women, has developed an organization of approximately 1000 members, which operates 105 ambulances, 259 passen- ger cars and 27 motor trucks
 The services of these women, all of them full-time volunteers, has not only been of great assistance to military kospitals, but of incalculable help also to the authorities of the Port of Elm barkation, as letters and testimonials from commanding officers will attest.
 The magnitude and kinds of service the corps has provided are shown by the following figures, covering the pe- riod from October, 1918, to June, 1919 |:
 Lltter cases b61S
 Ambulatory .......... .13,153

 RecreaC1On Il ,960
 The hours of service are computed to have been 136, ,744; the miles cov- cred were 578,043, and the number of daily cars." 6,566.
 Aided Evacuation Work.
 The corps has aided in the evacua- tion and debarking of sick and wound ed soldiers, sailors and marines, has transported sick and disabled fighting men to theaters and concerts, and has maintained service for POO nurses at U. s. Debarkation Hospital No. 3, pro- viding them with transportation four times day.
 Reports from National Headquar- ters covering 56 per cent. of the Red Cross Motor Corps in this country for the six months following the armistice show a total of 54O,OOO hours of serv- ice with a mileage of 1,69O,OOO. At $3 an hour, this service has meant a contribution of more than $4O,OOO worth of gasoline. The women of the corps supply their own passenger cars and gasoline. More than 10000 wo- men are enlisted in this service. The corps is now on a permanent peace basis and the demands upon it are even greater now than during the war period.
