4. The winds that most affect
the climate of both the United
States and Europe are from the
west. Thus they would blow of
shore in the United States and fail
to bring the warmth of the gulf
stream, while in Europe they would
blow toward the shore and warm it.
Q. Who was responsible for the
purchase of supplies for the navy?
T. W. S.
A. Rear Admiral Samuel Nc
Gowan, chief of the bureau of sup
plies and accounts, was purchas-
ing agent for the navy during the
war. He had been in the paymas-
ter corps for 20 years, having ad-
vanced through all the grades. Be-
fore that he was a newspaper re-
porter in South Carolina.
Q. Have engines been standard
lied by the railroad administra-
ton? c. C. A,
A. When the government took
over the railroads it encountered
many difficulties due to the fact
that there were SO many makes of
engines, and that different sets of
spare parts had to be kept for each
make. It decided to standardize
the new engines it bought. Early
in 1918 it issued specifications and
purchased, for 100000 apiece, 1925
engines with interchangeable parts.
ALI engines bought since that time
have, conformed TO this plan.

GASSED TWO DAYS AFTER SIGN
ING OF ARMISTICE

New York-It was a hard war for
the Three Hundred and Fifteenth in
fantry and Jack Devereaux, Broad
way actor and lieutenant in COM
pany L. He went through at least a
dozen battles without a scratch and
the day the armistice was signed he
slapped himself on the back, congrat-
ulating himself as lucky.
Deveraux came home on the trans
port Abangarez with 1O6 other passen-
gers, most of them soldier heroes, but
instead of slapping himself on the
back he was kicking himself all over.
Two days after the war ended he was
gassed.
The soldiers in this regiment were
still cheering the defeat Of the Ger
mans, and Devereaux was walking
through the ruins of Bras, near Yer
dun, when he accidentally tripped
over a gas trap left by the enemy. The
soldier-actor was overcome and for
several weeks after was under treat

Superintendent and some plan must
be derived whereby the present in
come can be doubled. Excepting
Christmas donations, there has been
comparatively little clothing sent in
the past few months. Some garments
have been sold at a nominal sum and
the money thus obtained spent for
children's clothing. Some mothers
have been able to make children's
clothes from partly worn garments.
Any new materials that may be sup
piled and some articles on hand, will
be turned into clothes for school chill
dren by the ladies of the Mission and
Settlement Club as soon as conditions
make such work practicable.
Last but not least is the need of
corps Of dependable workers. Wheth-
er there is a trained worker in charge
or not there is always the necessity
of a number of helpers.
About 30 children have been enroll
ed in the Industrial School. The girls
have begun sewing under direction of
Mrs. Ficklin and Mrs. Rosenham.
Miss Mary Wood has directed the
work of the boys and smaller chill
dren ever since the Industrial School
was organized, but has been compell
ed to give it up this winter. Assist
ants for two hours on Saturday after
noon are badly needed
More Sunday School Teachers and
several to assist with the music are
needed.
There have been some applications
for night school instructions recently,
for which no provision has been made
Neither can the clubs for the Work

must bide their time, but in the read

CITY MISSION NEEDS

It has been customary to hold an
annual meeting of the City Mission
Board in November when reports of
the years work were made, officers
elected and plans defined for ensuing
year. Also the anniversary of the es-
Enlistment of the Mission has been
celebrated with birthday party
which has performed the double pur-
pose Of bringing the friends of the
Mission together and increasing funds
and interest.
Owing to deficiency in Board men,
bership, election of officers has been
deferred, but, with the resumption OF
Mission activities has come the neces-
sity of better organization. The con-
stitution provides that the Mission
shall be managed by a Board OF
Directors composed of Is members
representing the churches and social
betterment agencies of the city, wish
ing to cooperate with the Mission.
If the Mission is to serve the pur-
pose for which it came into existence,
the support and cooperation Of the re-
ligious organizations is paramount,
and if all the Philanthropic Agencies
are to do the utmost good with mini
mum expenditure of time, labor and
money there must be mutual under
standing, sympathy and cooperation
Such affiliation through representa-
tive membership would help to simpli-
fly Mission problems and systematic
its work.
With the heavy demands upon peo-
pie and purses while the war was be-
ing won the Board made no special
call for funds. The income derived
from regular contributions from
churches, firms, individuals and City
Council supplemented by occasional
volunteer donations has been made to
cover current expenses. 1t is not suf-
ficient, however, to employ trained
