Velop In them the habit of regularity and
neatness, as we'll as afford personal exam
pies in arithmetic, writing and English.
In order to determine the efficiency of
the garden work in any town or CITY," SAYS
the bureau of education, definite records Of
the financial results should be kept" The
bureau suggests the following headings for
keeping this record
Number of children in garden army com
panies
Area of garden in acres
Number of garden teachers
Number of quarts of vegetables canned
Number of pounds of vegetables dried
Value of fresh vegetables used at home
and sold
Total money value of fresh, canned and
Total cost of work, including teachers
salaries
Net balance.
The bureau realizes the difficulty of setting
standard OF garden achievement for all
parts of the country, but after studying
records from many parts of the country it
offers the following as a suggestive average
that leader of one full company of the
garden army may hope to reach:
Number of children in Garden Army

fed with their country.
The most important thing for the success
of the movement, he says, is to persuade
boards of education and superintendent of
schools to employ ga1den teachers, offer them
courses of study that will prepare them for
this especial work, and give other financial
and moral support to it.

The very next thing that every one
thought about, as soon as the noise Of
the peace jubilee died down. was
something new to wear. There was
an immediate reaction in the matter
of dress, from the econOmiZing that
the war inspired, from the rather Sc

ing withOut-tO just the other things.
DreSSmakerS are overwhelmed with
work and all women with one accord
want some new and pretty clothes.
This is the most natural feeling in
the world since clothes are our uni
versal means of expression and we
must dress up to the jOyOusnesS of
having our victorious soldiers home
again.
Wraps and coats of cloth or fur. or
both combined, have been made in
great variety of styles this season.
Originality in design has been a fea-
ture of the styles so that new

periOr quality and very unusual de-

From supplies stored in France have
been diverted many things urgently
needed by the Red Cross commissions
for the Balkans, Serbia and Greece.
Relief work by Americans in those
countries continued to be vital after
the armistice. Hospitals have been
equipped, food and clothing provided,
agricultural training schools estab-
lished and medical attention supplied
to scattered communities which war
had left in utter restitution. A spe-

In an official announcement issued

members, Mr.. Dawson says:
1--WE must labor in cooperation with
the National Red Cross and relief So
cieties Of other nations to the end
that not alone the heart Of America,
but the heart of all mankind, may be-
come modified on behalf of suffering
humanity.
while, therefore. the plans of the
American Red Cross in this direction
cannot be formulated specifically in
advance of the general relief program
of the allied governments, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is nevertheless planning
to develop its permanent organization
in this country upon a scale never be-
fore contemplated in time of peace
STUDY is being given by the ma
tiOnal organization, not alone to prob
lens Of international relief, but TO
plans in this country for enlarged
home service, the promotion of public
health education, development Of nurs-
ing. the care and prevention of acct
dents and other correlated lines which
may contribute to the health and hap
pineSs of men, women and children.
For the completion of it's war
work and for the institution of it's
peace program, the Red Cross is for
tunately In a healthy financial cOndi-
ton. What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much cOntribu-
