HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do yen Know what the present day
Home Service Of the American Red
Cross is?
Many people do not know that, be-
sides completing the work for ex-serv-
Ice men, especially the disabled, 1t pro-
vides the same neighborly service to
families In general that it formerly
gave families Of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
"Home Service covers wide and
varied field" says Frederick c. Mum
roe, general manager Of the American
Red Cross. ''It gives aid to families
in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
Of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws. 1t renders serv-
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement jewellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their ewn problems,

the weak spots In the social life Of

Senator Harding's occasional re-

Senator Harding's occasional re-
ferences to the desirability of a
tariff system which will not surren-
der the American market to foreign
PRODUCERS, and which will not per-
nit prompt destruction of the in
dustries which have been developed
here during and because of the war
and its circumstances invariably pro-
woke a howl of resentment from the
retainers of the Administration who
repeat the parrot cry that all duties
must be for revenue only, and who
point to the declaration of their plat
form, That a low rate OF duties in
crease the volume of imports and
therefore increases the amount OF
revenue. The trouble with the
present Wilsonized tariff is that it
is tariff not for revenue but for
deficit. 1t has permitted an immense
increase of imports, but it has at the
same time caused big decrease of
revenue. The seven years of De-
mocratic administration as compared
with the preceding seven Republican
years show an increase in the total
value of imports of about 100 per
cent, and at the same time de-
crease in the total revenue received
of more than 25 per cnt. The Re-
publican system secured revenue
of $2,2O0,00O,OOe on S10,000,000,0 900
of imports, and the Democratic sys-
tenn secured only $1,631 100000 re-
venue from imports of $20,000,000.
The latter may be tariff for imports;
the former is certainly. the tariff for
revenue.-Harvey Weekly.

communities. 1t joins hands with 9TH
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
I Organizing action along lines in
which the community is already inter-
ested is one of the objects of Home
Service. 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eants and picnicss Rest rooms, recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
ing libraries as well as to secure coun-
ty agricultural and home demonstra-
ton agents.

Weather and the Death Rate.

The general death rate Is found to
Increase with rising temperature, and
to diminish with falling thermome-
ter. These conclusions are reached
by Doctor Ellsworth Huntington OF
Yale, and are q result Of study OF
about 100000 deaths in New York
city In connection with the weather
on the day Of death. The peculiarities
seem to apply to all seasons. Variety

FITTING a Bear With New Teeth.

A grizzly bear may wear out his
teeth, just the same as a human be-
ing. When he needs new ones he gets
them, particularly in America. More
animal dentistry has peen done here
than in any other country. Once, when
an old pet bear belonging to the owner
Of well-known menagerie was fitted
with a complete set Of false teeth, II
was necessary to glue the plates to
the bears mouth to keep them tn

Birds and sheIIfsh.

The English thrush brings its snails
to certain convenient stone, on which
it will crack their shells by beating
them upon it. Some sea birds carry
shellfish to a height and drop them on
the rock to break their shells, but this
brings only the anvil into use, not the
hammer. The case of the wasp is the
only one which records the seemingly
intelligent use of tool to accomplish
a given purpose.

Heads of the fire department on reaching the scene directed the1r ef- forts toward ascertaining the cause and location of the explosion.
