American Uniform
is Curiosity in Paris

Paris-Of the 100000 doughboys
who celebrated the armistice two
years ago in France, there remain in
Europe today:
About $4,000 in the Army of Occupa-
ton on the Rhine.
Several hundred in the Graves Regis
tration department, looking after 400
cemeteries in various parts of France.
Perhaps rs officers with headquar-
tiers at Rue Tilsitt, settling up the
last of the A. E. F's bills.
And nearly all of these are new re-
cruits shipped over after the armistice.
On the boulevards, two years ago
people by doughboys, the American
uniform has again become a curiosity.
Occasionally heads are turned with a
reminiscent smile as a khaki-clad man
with big A on his sleeve walks
across the Place de POpera.
OF the some four or five thousand
who hid in the back alley of Paris
when their comrades went home, prob
ably not more than a thousand per-
haps only several hundred remain.
Army authorities still pick up these de-
serters from time to time-One in a
police court, another in a jail, few
on recognition in a cafe or on the
street, and ship them home in hand
cuffs. Most of them were criminally
inclined before entering the army and
went back to their old trade in Paris.
The second anniversary of the
armistice saw the Yankee soldiers in
France already receded into history.
AS to the two military branches in
France 1t is estimated that another
year will be required to complete the
removal to America of the bodies
whose removal has been requested by
relatives. Thus far, requests have
been received from about two-thirds of
the number buried in France. The re-
naming third will be concentrated in
four or five large burying grounds.
Colonel Warden, military attache at
Paris, placed the total claims still to
be settled at about 5000, generally
small amounts; bills from French
civilians for services or supplies.

Befogged

The morning was cold and foggy
when old Farmer Giles and his man
started out to drive bullock into the
market. The farmer being uncommon
ly stout left the work to his employee.
After tramping about eight miles in
silence, hardly able to see each other
for the fog, the man was startled to
hear voice just in front of him ex-
claim:
We're getting along in good style,
aren't we, Bill?"
"Lordy!" cried the farm hand. "Be
that you, master? Whoy, All bin "a
DROWN We for the last hour!"
And the bullock had vanished in the
fog, while Bill herded his bulky master
to market.

Austria Needs More
Aid From Americans

Peace has brought no improvement
to conditions prevailing among the
children of Austria, whose present
state is as pitiable as that of the little
ones of Poland.
This is the word brought to this
country by representatives of the
American Relief Administration Euro
pean Children's Fund, who assert that
Austria is the only country among all
those in which the fund has operated,
where next years relief programme
will not be substantially reduced. In
stead of improving since the coming of
peace, they say, conditions there have
grown steadily worse and the aid
which the United States will render
must not only continue, but increase.
DR.. Clemens Pirquet, formerly of
Johns Hopkins, and now head OF the
Department of Children's Diseases ir
the University of Vienna, has written
Herbert Hoover, Chairman of the
American Relief Administration, that
more than seventy-eight per cent. of
the whole child population up to the
age of fifteen is underfed. In other
words, 100000 out of 1,1S2000 Aus
trian children are not getting enough
to eat. Of vienna's child population,
only about two in one hundred are get
ting adequate nourishment.
The American Relief Administration
began it's work of feeding the children
of Austria in April, 1919, with an mi
tial distribution of 1900 tons of food
comprising cocoa, milk, sugar, rice,
peas, beans and flour. Public soup
kitchens were opened in kindergar-
tens, schools, day nurseries, orphan
ages and even the royal palace of
Schonbrunn was turned over to the
children's welfare workers. Since the
available food supplies were not suffi-
cient to satisfy all, no child was adj
mitted until examination by compel
ent doctor or nurse had showed an
actual condition of serious underEour-
ishment.
295,0O0 Are Fed Free
The cost to the administration of
feeding one child one meal day for
month has averaged about one dol
lar, while the remainder of the ex-
pense, amounting to two or three dol
lars for each child, has been supplied
by local charity, government and
municipal grants. In this way, the
rationing system has never been al
lowed to become pauperish influence
By July 1, 1919, of the entire Aus
trian nation of 100000 people, one
quarter of million children were re-
ceiving one meal a day at the public
kitchens. Last winter 10000 children
were fed in the city of Vienna alone,
and 125,000 throughout the rest of
Austria. Yet less than third of all
the undernoruished have been reached.
Consequently, the final budget for
the year ending next June contains
Mr. Hoover's approval of the proposal
to increase the number fed to 100000
and to undertake, if possible, to supply
shoes, stockings, warm underclothlng,
coats and dresses for 100000 of the
most miserable children. Altogether,
for the entire area of Central Europe
in which the administration is at work,
including Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and
Germany proper, $2O,OOO,OOO will be
needed before the next harvest,
August, 1921.

New York-Benny Boynton, alias
the Williams Football squad of Will
Jamestown, Mass, is just about all set
to become the star individual point
scorer in gridiron circles for the year
1920.
There are ten other players on the
Williams team, but this story is going
to be about Boynton, because every
thing that has been done this year
seems to be thanks to Benny"
Williams started out the year by
trouncing Rensselaer, to the tune of
So to 0. In this game Boynton scored
33 of the points, or better than so
per cent.
In the next game Williams trimmed
Union 35 to 0 and Boynton came
through with Is points. About so per
cent.
Right here you're supposed to for
get that Harvard slipped 3S to 0 win
over on Williams-because Boyntoon
failed to cross the goal line.
And then came Trinity to take 81
to 0 trouncing. Boynton made up for
his loss of points in the Harvard game
by totaling six touchdowns for 36
markers. This was better than SO per
cent of the teams total.

mally busy was he all day and every

once he went on a pleasure trip in
California, but a telephone wire was
trailed through the woods after him!
He killed himself by overwork. One
of the most brilliant of the younger
generation of bankers in New York is
Percy H. Johnston, whose achieve
ments are beginning to make history.
He not only works from to quite late
in the afternoon, but devotes some
five evenings every week to business
problems.
Others who find it necessary to ex-
coed the eight-hour day prescribed by
labor unions include Thos. w. Lamont
and Dwight W. Morrow, of J. P. Nor

of the Bethlehem Steel Co.; Robert

I find that practically every man
who has risen to unusual eminence by
his own efforts, toiled and sweated
very long hours all through his early
and even middle-aged years. know
no self-made millionaire who confined
himself to an eight-hour day or even
ten-hour day during his struggling
period.
Quite a number of financial and
business leaders, however, after be-
coming heads of enterprises, have so
organized their duties that it is not
necessary for them to spend long
hours at work or to be on hand every
week of the year. Even in such cases,
however, mighty few of them are able
to cast off all thought of business or
to drop all business activities on leav-
ing their offices or plants. Some do
have the faculty of being able to dis
miss every thought of business the
moment their days work is over
but not many.
What nearly every man of unusual
achievement does say is that a reason
able amount of recreation is absolute
ly necessary to keep feeling top-notch.
More and more executives are striv-
ing to delegate duties TO Subord1nateS,
leaving themselves more time to think
and plan. But in order to reach this
stage it is almost universally true that
there have had to be years and years
of brain sweat, long hours and pains
taking concentration.

patriotic New Workers" is the latest
organization announced to date. There
is considerable uncertainty over ex-
actly what it's function is to be. But
as it originated in the over-wak eful
brain of Mrs. John King Van Rensse-
laer, it will undoubtedly be carried for
ward-to somewhere-with consider
able eclat. Anyhow, Nine. Luiaz Tet-
razzini is charter member. Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, made her one the day
she came as a guest of honor to the ex-
elusive matron's reception for the
Rufus King Chapter of the Daughters
of American Revolution. GAS the won
derful songbird had to have the "Patri-
otto New Workers explain to her in
Italian, it is particularly fitting idea,"
commented one of the guests who is
not always in complete harmony with
the plans of her that-day hostess.
Shopping guides are nothing new in
woman's world. The woman who de-
scends upon New York once year or
once lifetime has known the value
of these professional shoppers who
could tell her where to get things and
what to get. But such a friend and
helper is an innovation in the world of
men. He's here, though. War mil
lionaires probably brought him. Any
how, everyday now you can spot them
on the Avenue and in the shops. These
male shoppers with one or two clients
apiece at their sides. They prevent
the taking home of neckties which are
with ones hosiery as we'll as with his
personality, and they are supposed to
help the glileless one from throwing
away his money without due return.
Asked how much it costs for man to
fit himself out properly for all occas-
ions, one shopper placed the sum at
$4,000.

They Don't Do
it in the Very Best
of Spirit Circles

Chicago-If you would mingle with
with the elite of departed spirits, do
not toy with the shades who use the
ouija boards as means of communi-
cation, because under ordinary circum-
stances; only the riffraff of spiritdom
speak during the sessions of the great
American parlor game was the warn
ing given by Miss Gail Wilson, trustee
of the American section of the Theo-
sophical Society. She stands high in
the theosophical world.
"Only the low type of soul would
make itself manifest on the ouija
board said Miss Wilson, who has
given the subject much research,
"a high type of spirit would not use
such a crude and dangerous method.
Why should highly evolved spirit
want to mingle among earth-beings,
when they are on much hibher plane.
Speaking of the slangy language
of the earth, most of the spirits we
get connected with on the ouija beard
lie like circus posters.
eff you are looking for advice, it is
far better to take it from a good
living person than bad dead one. No
spirit can tell the future better than
the ordinary earth being. It's rare
that a respectable spirit raps on the
library table, either"
Miss Wilson holds that there are
just a few cases on record of high
class spirits taking via the ouija board
route, but these cases are so rare that
thew NAV be discounted

Havre Swamped
With Coal as
N. Y. Suffers

Paris-While New York apartment
houses, according to reports received
here. are out of fuel, French shipping
officials here admit that the harhor at
Havre is temporarily blocked by a
score of ships laden with coal from
the United States, the shipments, ap-
parently being a part of the coal con-
tracted for by the Swansea syndicate.
The amount of coal now in the har-
Dor at Havre is about 100000 tons,
while much more is ON the way there
from the United States. 1t was pur-
chased by the French Government
when the prospect for the winter sup
ply was not frightened by the German
coal promises made at Spa
French consumers of this coal will
have to pay about $40 ton for it,
while the output of the French and
the German coal mines, as long as the
supplies last from these sources, will
sell for little more than half the
price of the American fuel.
Nevertheless French coal famine
has been averted and even the snail
est shops are we'll heated.

brother of Ruth Findlay who plays the

school boy and served his sister as a
pattern. In playtime, on the street,
even at meals, did she use him as a
model, in sitting, walking and general
department as boy. He stood it
without murmur until near the end,
when he began to complain bitterly.
"But, Hugh" she protested, my work
