your country and your activities.
The work with these children who
lost one or both parents as result
of the war. which has been - ma
tion-wide service of relief for three
years-was brought to a close the
: first of June in Richmond, as far
as the financial part of it is con-
cerned. After this, no money will
be sent to these children through
tho organization. In fact, after
December 1920. the Organization
for the Fatherless Children of
France, here in America, will cease
TO exist as an organization.
DO you know how many children
of France have been taken care of
by the people of Richmond? Prob
ably you could not guess, so we will
tell you-the number is ia. The
amount of money which has gone
from Richmond to these children
in the last three years, is s14,802.
This money was sent to ]. Pierpont
Morgan, Bankers, in New York
City, where it met all the other
sums raised for this purpose and
was sent with them to France.
Some children were adopted for
year, some for two years, some for
three and some for four years, as
some "godmothers and godfathers"
wished to pay ahead for their Or
phans for next year.
How many of you children saw
Marshal Joffre, or Papa Joffre"
as he is called in France, when he !
was here in Richmond? That |
white-haired fatherly man is the
head Of this work in France.
This work for the fatherless chill
dren of France has been a service
of honor and distinction wherever
it has been carried on. People of |
wealth gladly gave their money and
services for the work so that there
were no outside expenses. This
made it possible for every cent of
money which was contributed to gol
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-06-19

to the child. The large sum Of
money which was sent from Rich
mond, was raised almost entirely
by direct contribution to the Or
phans' Fund. Twice, however, af-
fairs were given to aid in raising
this money. These affairs had
delightful French atmosphere about
them. They were the sale of the
French forget menots-you remem-
Der those, OF course,-and of the
c0ckades, which are strictly
French and which were made from
ribbon by Richmond women. Then
in the Parade of the Fourth Of July,
1917, the Palladium flag was car
ried and into this, voluntary con-
tributions were thrown for the ben
eft of these children. Enough
money was raised that day TO pay
for the care of IA children for one
year.
After this, gifts will not be asked
for these orphans and no money
given except as some person
wishes to send his own orphan a
money gift. One of the best ways
to send any such contribution is by
registered mail. Mrs. Foulke says
it is not advisable to send packages
of clothing or food to these child
rem, as these things often miscarry
or are subject to a duty which is
often burden on the family re-
ceiving the package.
Richmonds splendid showing in
this work, for which it has re-
ceived credit in New York and
Paris, is due to very high degree
to Mrs. Foulke, who for three years
has given great deal of time and
interest and money to this work.
For her, we are sure, the child
rem of Richmond who joined with
Mrs. Foulke in this enterprise and
the children of France, who re-
ceived the relief and aid which she
helped so much to secure, feel the
warmest gratitude and apprec-
iatiOn.

Dear Aunt Polly:
Why does grass grow? Every
time We boys plan to go fishing all
day, mother says the grass has to
be cut. Wish ! lived in a desert
Bob G.
Dear Bob:
There are some things no one
has yet ever been able to figure
out. 1t seems to US 1t would have
been just as easy to have started
the grass and allowed 1t to grow
Just as high as one wants it to
grow and then tell it to be still and
quit growing, and stay that way for
the rest of the summer. And dande-
lions! Why couldn't they have
been left out of peoples yards?
But then, it wasn't made that way.
As long as the grass is alive it has
ono idea and that is to grow just
as tall as it can, and the only way
we can keep it from growing up like
a barricade around our house is to
get behind the lawn mower and
play Follow the Leader" Why
wish to be in a desert? There's no
fishing there. The best place to
be, probably, would be in Alaska,
where there is no grass to cut and
yet plenty of fish to catch--if you
cut a hole in the ice. Pm sorry for
you, but that's all the sense grass
has it just wants to grOw.-Aunt
Polly.

HUNTING EYE IN KHAKI
Francis Rolt-Wheeler

Hunting Eye was so excited by
the Secret Service Mans statement
that there were Indians in both the
United States and Canadian armies
that his friend smilingly offered to
take him to the barracks.
There the Indian lad made
friends with grizzled old soldier,
one of the top sergeants, who
took him around the camp and
showed him military life In Its true
colors.
IAN wear this same brown
stuff" asked Hunting Eye, laying
his hand on the sergeant's khaki
sleeve.
Sure" was the reply, that's
our war paint"
I'D like to have that war suit on
-once!" said Hunting Eye, wist-
fully.
Well" said the top sergeant,
tits against the rules for a non
enlisted man to put on a uniform,
but that rule wouldn't apply to
your just taking it on and putting it
off. Here, yours pretty big for
your age, and Bill Pevery is the
smallest man in camp"
Bill raised no objection and in a
few minutes Hunting Eye was ar
rayed in khaki, complete all save
the hat, for he would not take out
his feather.
This war paint, too" he ex-
planned.
He was only allowed to wear it
for a few minutes and then was
hidden to change back into his own
buckskin suit.
why mustn't l wear it?" he
asked.
"A soldier takes a PROMISE" was
the reply, "a very serious one, and
as long as he's in khaki he must
live up to that promise. A soldier
takes pride that the uniform is
never disgraced. If anyone who
hadn't given that promise COULD

the South. The tree is broad and
low and has glossy leaves. Among

Dear L. S.: That word Is now
used to mean a group of people
who decide to make some person
or several people do what they
want him to do. For instance, if
grocer is selling his groceries at
too high a price the housekeepers
may all meet and decide not to buy
anything at that grocery for a long
while. This would be called boy

Aunt Polly:
What Is a hoodoo?-F. ].


That Is the name gwen to any
thing that is thought to have evil
power. 1t is a newly dressed form
Of the word, Voodoo, which Is the
name of a group of people in Africa
who try to make their living by
frightening the natives until they
are ready to give anything they
have to be free from fear. To be-
lieve in hoodoos Is sign Of weak
ness. One time in the story named
The Illiad, people came to Hector,
the hero of Troy and urged him not
to fight, telling him the birds were
against him. He told them that a
sword and a good cause was all
that was needed. There is no such
thing as a real hoodoo.-Aunt

Dear Aunt Polly:
Where did the names of the
months come from? And when?
C. c.
Dear C. c.:
The names Of the months were
given them in honor of some god or
goddess or of some emperor or just
their number in the calendar. Just
when these names were first used
we do not know. The month
January got its name from
Romans. He was supposed to have
two faces, one looking backward
airy has no such romantic history,
for it is named from "februum," a
word that meant eXpiation and this
dreary little month was the month
of expiation, in which anyone who
had done anyone a wrong had to-
make up" February seems to,
have been picked on" generally.
When the Romans named July after
one emperor, julius Caesar, and
August after another, Augustus
Caesar, the latter month did not
have as many days as July. The
Romans thought this would never
do, as the months named after both
emperors should have the same
number of days. So, after a little
thought they picked enough days
off February to make August as
long a month as July, and made
August present of them. March
is named after Mars, the Roman
god of war. April has a lovely |
name. 1t is supposed to come from
an old Latin word "aperire" which
means ito open" and that Is the
time when all the buds are be-
ginning to open. People are not |,
sure just where May received her
name. Many people think it comes
from "majores" Latin word
elders, or, as we say,
grownups, and was named this by
the Romans in honor of their sen
ators and mobiles. They think June
came from the Latin word Junior
ibus" which means young people,
Of course, and was given to that
month in honor of youth. Some
people think these months were
named after Maia, mother of Mer-
curry, and Juno, queen of the gods.

thinking of names for their months

CHANCE THAT JOINTS ON LINE

Mr. Justice Murphy in the Supra:ne
Court at New Westminster, B. c., last
Thursday, indicated that he is likely
to find in favor of the petition to
quash the Surrey liquor license by
law on the ground that the munich
pality has exceeded its powers, al
though he reserved judgment until a
laater date. Up to this writing the
Judge has not been heard from fur
Their.
This practically assures that the

boundary line from Blaine, closed

out any restrictions whatsoever about
their operation. These places have
been reported aas rottener than the
