FOREIGNERS SENDING
 VAST RELIEF HOME
Over 90 Per Cent of Food Drafts Sent to Europe Gifts From
 Immigrant Population.

Out of their earnings, for the most part as unskilled laborers, living from hand to mouth, the foreign-born els- melt in the United States is contribut- ing largely to the funds for food SUD- plies to aid the starving peoples of their native lands.
 Figures from the Food Draft section of the American Relief Administration show that $593,11O had been sent to Poland, up to the end of November. $15S,170 had been sent to Czecho Sovakia, Hungary had received $982,- 760, Germany had 1,44S,619 and Aus tria $2,O46,72O. It was estimated that more than 90 per cent of this money had been spent by nationals of these various countries who are now in the United States. There are about ], ,5O0,- 900 Poles, 8OO,OOO Hungarians, 5OO, ,OOO Czechs and 6OOOOO Slovaks in this country.
 The profits which resulted from the sale of these food drafts have been turned into the fund for general child feeding. It is to bring this fund up to the point where 1t can meet the de mands on 1t, to save the lives of 3,5OO,- 900 children that the European Relief Council has been formed by eight great relief organizations.

NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE
Machines That Make for Economy Are Now in General Use In Facto-
 rles In America.

Recovery of valuable portions of
 materials formerly wasted Is more and more feature of American in
 dustrial ecOnumy. For many years
 there has been in use In many of
 the large engineering works cen
 trifugal separating machine which
 removes the oil from iron and steel
 turnings or borings and thus permits It to be used over again. This idea
 which underlies this machine has now been carried farther and applied
 to the removal of the dust and dirt which unavOidably collects in oil used In the lubricating systems of marine and other large engines. The new machine Is very similar in form and operates on the same principle as the now well-known centrifugal cream separator. The foul oil Is fed continuously into the machine through a strainer which catches any gross particles, precisely as milk is fed into the cream separator. The purified oil escapes continuously, while the dust and dirt collect on the inner surface of the separating drum. Provision is made by which the at tendant can instantly tell when the machine Is chOked with the deposited impurities.

THE VALUE OF VALUABLES
Many Things Go to Make Up Con- alteration of the Real Worth
 or an arIicie.

Value In commodity depends, ac- cording to certain standard econo- mists. on utilities of time. place and events. An article is worth what its owner can get for 1t. What he can get for it depends on where it is. who wants 1t, for what purpose and the number of bidders.
 The Manchester Guardian published an interview with Rykov, president of the supreme council of national ecOno- my in soviet Russia. Rykov indicated in these days than formerly, while others were more so. The soviets, he said, would let go of their platinum slowly in trade with the outside world slowly, that is, in comparison with their release of other articles.
 "In platinum we have world monopoly" said Rykov, 'and cOnse- quently can afford to wait. Diamonds and gold. however-they can have as much as they want Os such rubbish. Platinum Is different and we are in no hurry to part with 1t. Diamonds and gold ornaments, the jewelry of the czars, we are ready to give to any king in Europe who fancies them if he can give us some less ornamental but more useful locomotives"
 Similarly there is no doubt that not a few American manufacturers would willingly trade diamonds and gold and motor cars and electric runabOuts for box cars-plain, old. railroad red box cars-ready on the sidetrack to haull factory output from point of produc- ton to point of Chica- go News.

EUROPEANS PLEADING
 FOR THEIR CHILDREN
Elder Generation Sacrifices Self That Hope of Future May
 Receive Means of Life.

The one optimistic note in the des- perate need prevailing through the war torn areas of eastern Europe Is the ex- traordinary and touching faith of the people in the children. The elder gen. eration has put all its hope and trust in the future of the generation now in it's early years. In fact, in many fn- stances 1t Is deliberately sacrificing It. self for the children, the Europe of to- morrow
 In the war-ravaged districts supplies necessary for maintenance of lnsti- tutions are lacking, but 1t has been noted that always the request for out side aid emphasizes the needs of the orphanages. How marked Is this in- clination was indicated by the fact that one district of Poland the au- thorities. appealing to an American re- lief organization for assistance, asked assistance for only one military hos pital. four general hospitals and twen- ty orphanages.
 The appeal has reached America with the result that because they know that literally millions of European chil- dren face starvation and death from disease unless the aid that only this country can give Is forthcoming, eight great American relief agencies have banded together under the name of tho European Relief Council to raise $33,- OOO, ,OOO needed to tide the baby genera tion of Europe over possibly the most critical winter 1t has yet faced.

Stranqe Hotel.

What is probably the queerest hotel and restaurant in the world is that recently erected at Atlantic City, N J. It takes the form of a monster elephant. Seen from a distance the resemblance of the structure to live elephant is remarkable. As you ap- proach it its huge size becomes appar- ent, but you quickly observe that it Is only a thing of wood and iron, but most cleyerly contrived. It boasts of many beds, and dining pavilion on the animals back capable of accom- modating two hundred people. One reaches this novel restaurant by means of a staircase which runs up through the animals legs and body. Here and there windows give the nee essary light. Needless to say the elephant hotel is causing quite an at- traction, and it's owner bids fair to reap a good harvest as a result of his ingenuity

BEFORE WHITE MAYS COMING
Eight Groups of Indians Divided the Land Which We Now Know as
 North America.

The North American Indians were divided into seven or eight great
 groups, according to their various
 languages. The AIgonquins made up the largest family, comprising the eastern tribes of Canada and the
 United States south of Hudson bay, east of the Mississippi river and south to Virginia and Tennessee, including the Ojibwas, Ottawas, Crees, Algon- quins and Blackfeet. The Iroquois or Five Nations of Cooper's stirring tales inhabited the east central states, including New York. West of them lived the Dakotas or Sioux, from Canada to Arkansas and from the Mississippi to the Rocky mountains. The Muskokis or Appalachians occu- pied the southeastern states as far west as the Mississippi; while the ShOshonis were at home in the region from Texas to Montana and from California to Idaho. The Athabascas, the Yumas, and the Pueblos occupied Alaska and Canada, Oregon and New Mexico respectively.

LOCATION OF "BLEAK HOUSE,
Writer in London Times Describes, to His Satisfaction, Building Im-
 mortalized by Dickens.

The city librarian of St. Alban, Eng land, writes to the London Times as follows, and thereby seems to settle literary controversy. 'There is no mystery" he says about the town in, or near, which Bleak house is sit uated. Why there has ever been any controversy is difficult to understand. The only question is the identity of the house. It is quite probable there never was a building agreeing struc- turally with the one described by Dick ems; but there is house still in ex- istence which in the middle of the last century corresponded geographically. It is situated at the end of Catherine street, and from 1915 to about 1893 was called The Daltons' or Dalton house. but from the latter date has been known as Bleak house. This house when Dickens wrote his book was separated from the town by fields, but the land has now been built upon. Even now the abbey tower can be seen from the top windows" ."-Boston Tran. script.

ALL DELIGHT TO HONOR FOCH
Whole World Paid Homage to the Genius of the Great French
 Master of War.

Marshal Foch's home in the Avenue de Saxe. Paris. has become one of the wonderful dwelling places of the world. Far more than a dwelling place, 1t is now museum of glory. The rooms of that modest first floor flat are crowded with the trophies which all civilization has offered in homage to the man who led the allies to victory. Such profusion of beauti- full things and notable works of art Is rare, and admidst 1t the unassum- ing figure of the marshal moves al- most grieved, as 1t seems, by the pos session of these precious tributes, which only his kindly courtesy induced him to accept.
 They come from. every part of the world. That large, solid silver stat uette of French general of the Napo- leOnic wars is signed by Los Amigos de Francia a FrancOphile league in Spain. Next to it is an alabaster fig ure by a French master. Over the hearth stands a great gilt empire clock inscribed "To Marshal Foch, HUH luc loWu Ol CdSSel.
 Gold caskets, jeweled swords of honor, antique and valuable mina- lures and worries, the splendid enam- eled collar of the Grand Cross of the Bath, are crowded together in the glass cabinets that line the walls. Here is all the respect, all the enthu- siasm, all the gratitude and joy of victory of a whole world, expressed in the finest and loveliest forms that the ingenuity of great artists, sculp- tors, goldsmiths, can cOntrive.

LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
 FOR EuR0PE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies Combine to Save 3,500,000
 Children Death Menaces.

Eight great relief organizations, working among and for every race and creed, have united under the name of the European Relief Council to CO ordinate child relief In Europe this winter. The Council will seek to pro- vide funds for 3,bOO,OO0 starving and diseased children in Eastern and Gen. tral Europe and to administer this relief economically.
 It consists of Herbert Hoover, chair man, and Franklin K. Lane, treas urer; Edgar Rickard, representing the American Relief Administration; Dr.
 Livingston Farrand, representing the American Red Cross; Felix Warburg. representing the Jewish Joint Distri- button Committee; Wilbur K Thomas, representing the American Friends Service Committee (Quakers) James A. Flaherty, representing the Knights of Columbus; pr. c. V. Hubbard, repre- senting the Young Mems Christian As sociation; Miss Sarah s. Lyon, repre- senting the Young Women's Christian Association; pr. Arthur Brown, repre- senting the Federal Council of Church es of Christ in America.
 It Is the purpose of the Council to raise $98, 100000, in an appeal center ing at the Christmas holidays. to the end that the desperate situation re- garding child life may be met In every town and community of the na- tion, it Is planned. local committees, representing all the cooperating agen- cles will be formed to secure the vl- tally necessary funds. Of the amount sought, $23,OOO,OOO will be used for basic food and $1O.OOO.OOO for medical service.
 For every one of these American dollars the local governments and communities aided will furnish two dollars, in the form of transportation, labor, guards, clerical help, cash con- tributions and such food supplies as are locally obtainable. No children receive the free food except after medical tests showing them to be seri- ously undernourished. The remaining $1O, ,O0O of the fund is just as urgently needed for medical service to the children.
 The European Relief Council will do much more than effect economies in the raising of the child saving fund. It will, with the inspecting forces of eight great agencies, keep constant eye on the administration of Amer ica's merciful gift, in order that there shall be no wastage and no tendency toward pauperization.
 '"This is the largest cooperative be- nevolent organization ever attempted in the United States" MT. Hoover says "The organizations represented have come to the unanimous, though formed conclusion, that nothing but prompt and united action by the whole American people can avert incredible tragedy for the help less children involved. The organiza- tions forming the Council will organ ize their representatives in every town and community of the nation for the raising of the necessary funds"

Rats Overrhn English Town.

Millions of rats are overunning Abertillery (Monmouth). England. and neighborhood. While the cOngrega- tion was leaving Baptist church in Tillery street on recent Sunday an army of rats ran among them. One woman collapsed. All means have been used. but the rats have not only survived. but also thrived. The medi- cal officer of health, pr. Bailie Smith, says the rats are of two kinds-brown and black. The black rats. as a rule. keep to the sewers. but the brown rats climb anything-telegraph poles and rain and gas pipes. They swarm everywhere. It was suggested to the Abertillery district council that ex- pert rat destroyers should be employ ed. but local staff having stated that they could do better than the experts, the matter has been left to them with discretionary power to call in help if necessary.
