cipal speakers at an enthusiastic
meeting of captains and workers IN
the openings women's conference OF
the District Committee of the Euso-
pean Relief Council at headquarters

Il streets northwest, this morning
DR.. Farrand stated that he visited
Paris last August for the express pur-
pose OF formulating plans for with
drawing the American Red cross
forces from Europe. but that the chlld
problem In Central Europe forced
-him TO advocate that the Red Cross
remain there. Upon his return TO
America he found Herbert Hoover OF
the same opinion, that the children
must be fed and given medical care
otherwise tho coming generation
would be a menace TO the woriu
civilization. The other six welfare
organization heads readily endorsed
the movement to remain ABROAD 10
feed the starving little ones.
Miss Boardman advocated the tenn
porary adoption OF children by the
people OF Washington. She earnestly

pleaded for aid in terms OF child HE
and urged everybody to have one OF
more of these little ones as invislbls
guests at Christmas dinner by SUB
scribing TO the fund now being raised

"Do you mean to say" he was
asked, "that British spies would

Senator Johnson, and backed by

has been, and is, >ndeavoring to
poison the minds of the American

"At present Japan seeks the control

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH

 peb's Was the Greatest Sacrifice
 Woman Can Make for Man
 The rescue of Ann marked the cli- max of Deborah's love for Jim. Deb could easily have let Ann slip off to New York with Van-and to her own destruction. Then she could have built her own happiness on the ensuing do- mestic debacle. But Deb has restored his child wife to Jim's arms. Never before did girl in love with married man make such a strange contribution to his happiness, I suppose.
 Next to laying down her life for his Deb has made the greatest possible sacrifice any woman can make for a man. And she had done it without any urge of the new morality. She had acted in quite an old fashioned way. I went over to her house a few hours after we had finished with Mistress Ann. :.
 Tt isn't as if she were worth saving, said to Deb. She distinctly isn't!'
 But Jim is! That's the point, ! Jane!"
 "oh." I exclaimed Deb. you're a dear!''
 T suppose that's the last thing can | ever do for Jim!"
 And the best!" I spoke absently because suddenly the 1uil AoiCo ol Debs conduct struck me-and re- preached me! I fairly cringed before the lesson she had taught me that day

 My Own Recipes
 When cooking sweet potatoes it is easier to pare them in the first place than to scrub clean, cook and peal. The skin of a sweet potato is so thick that it does not peel easily after cook ing as an Irish potato does. Pare pota- toes and cut in shape for frying. Then cook until tender and fry in half but ter and half lard with generous sprinkling of sugar. Smothered Oysters 1 l pint oysters. | tablespoons butter.
 Salt and pepper. l 1 F cups milk. tablespoons flour. Wash and drain oysters. Melt butter 1 in a frying pan. Add oysters, season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake l in a hot oven for 10 or 15 minutes until the oysters frizzle. Put oysters on squares of hot toast. Stir flour into butter left in pan. Add milk slowly
