6iRB N ROUMlNIl IS
LIKE PICTURE PUZZLE
People Have Had to Depend on
American Red Cross for
What Clothes They Got.

For close on six years new clothing
has been an unknown commodity In
the market places of Roumania. What
clothing did reach the country came
from American Red Cross warehouses
and was distributed among the need
lest Of the needy-the men. women
and children who went barebacked
during the winter months, with no
warm walls wherein to take refuge
from the cold. with no fuel, and no
h~eat-producing food to put In their
stomachs.
In the villages. the average peas
ants garb looks more like a picture
puzzle than a suit Of clothes. 1t Is
hard to determine where the patches
end and the clothes begin. Burlap
sacking has largely taken the place OF
the pre-war homespuns. People have
resorted to makeshift garments In
endless variety and color.
When the Inhabitants of a country
district gather for an American Red
Cross distribution of food and cloth
ing, the assemblage strikes the eye as
would an outdoor carnival. All the
colors of the rainbow are there. from
the shrIeking crimson that the peasant
affects to the dlzzlest greens and yell
lows. Only the emaciated faces lack
the carnival flush. and the eyes are
war-tIred.
To match cloth with the mems and
women's garments at such a distribu-
ton would be out of the question. The
top OF a soldiers red cap covers the
worn portion of a farm-hand's trou-
sers. An army blanket has been
pressed into service to patch a moth
er's white jacket. A ~fast-growing
girls light blue skirt has been brought
to its proper length with a hunk OF
rude buriap.
The cloth manufacturers OF Rou-
mania have been devoting most OF
their time to equipping the army with
Roumanian field gray, and as yet their
establishments haven't been able to
return to a peace basis. Wholesale
tailoring plants have never been
numerous or up-to-date In Roumania.
Importing the necessary clothing from
other countries has been found next
to impossible owing to the collapse OF
transportation. which Itself
has to be built up before there can be
any serious effort to clothe the people.
The neIghboring Balkan countries are
themselves waiting for outside sup
of clothing.

rel steel tanks from which the average
evaporation loss vas computed. Re
suits show that oil stored In such a
tank will In the first year lose 8 per
cent of Its original volume. and In the
second year 81 per cent. giving q loss
for the first WI years Of 81 per cent.
In considering evaporation losses OF
crude oil, one must remember that the
portion that escapes Is gasoline. and
moreover Is the lighter. most valuable
part Of the gasoline. This light gaso-
line, II saved, would command the
highest price. The value of the frac-
ton lost IL o than three times the
value Of an equal volume Of crude.
Some Of the principle conclusions
drawn from this work are:
II. The major portion Of the evap-
grafton loss 10 or the lease. when the
oil Ia still fresh and where the most
valuable products escape.
80. Even after leaving the lease oil
Is subjected to a large loss from this
cause.
"3. II Is possible to eliminate two
thirds to four-fftils OF the evapora-
tlon loss by protecting oil from free
contact with air.

STILL GROWING
Figures Of Oct. 8 Show En-
rollment to Be 67,32l,
1879 Over 1919.

Figures compiled yesterday by
Assistant Superintendent of Schools
Stephen E. Kramer, comparing en-
rollment in Washington public
schools on October of this year
with October 13, 1919. show a total
enrolment of s7,321 as against
64,s42, a gain of 1879 pupils.
This figure includes night schools,
the enrolment for which is $50 be-
low that of last year. The gain for
the day schools alone, therefore, is
2,92S for the present year.
An outstanding feature of the
statistics compiled by Kramer shows
that in all the high schools, except
Mckinley Manual Training and
Junior High, the girls greatly out
number the boys.
Central has an enrolment of 1,215
boys and 1.6o2 girls; Eastern, Isl
boys and 420 girls; Western, $40
boys and $50 girls; Business, 2S6
boys and 921 girls; Mckinley, 1,03I
boys and 236 girls, and Junior, 26s
boys and 173 girls.

THINK RELIGION.
ECONOMIC CURE.
Too Many Creeds; Not
Enough Faith, British Pas
tor Declares.

Urging Christianization of the en-
tire social order, religious as well
as secular. as the great remedy for
the economic ills OF the world, the
Rev. Tom Sykes, eloquent English
preacher, and others addressed last
nights session of the World
Brotherhood Congress in the First
Congregational Church.
There is something in life and
religion that you cannot wrap up
in a creed" said the Rev. Sykes.
Jesus Christ did not ask for creeds,
but for faith. Men are beginning
to realize there is something more
in religion than listening to ser
mons or putting money in the col
lection plate.
There is no word of creed in the
teachings of Christ, but there is
that expression of love for ones
fellow man through practical Chris
tian service for which the world
is now hungering."
The Rev. Sykes pointed out there
could be no Heaven for the rich
If the rich man will not link his
wealth with poverty. There is no
conflict between capital and labor
today" he said, ''the conflict is be-
tween men over capital and labor.
What we need today is more man,
and less talk of capital and labor.
Nothing can be economically right
that is morally unjust"
The Rev. DR.. Moffat Gautrey, also
of London, who has just made a
400-mile tour of the battlefields of
Europe, called attention to the great
need for the introduction of God
and Christian principles into the
consideration of all problems of re-
construction. The Rev. DR.. W. B.
Beauchamp, of Nashville, Tenn, also
spoke.
Among the speakers who will ad-
dress the congress today will be
Z. c. Drury, Prime Minister of the
province of Ontario. Canada, who
will arrive in Washington this
morning.

MOUNTED POLICE LOOKING UP
NORTH DAKOTA WE4ISKEY TRAFFIC

w. Warren, of Regina, Sask., .
member of the Mounted Police force,
is spending a few days in Minot. Mr..
Warren is trying to round up some OF
the violators Of the liquor law who
are bringing Canadian whiskey across
the line. He says the Canadian line
is wide and hard to police. Tens of
thousands of gallons Of whiskey are
brot across the line each month he
says. Occasionally a law violator is
caught, but the business is lucrative
and there is always more fellows to-
take the places of the ones arrested.
Recently a Canadian with $1,000
Cadillac car was arrested on the Ca
madam side. He had $500 worth Of
whiskey. His car and the whiskey
were confiscated and he was also fined
$500. It cost him $4,000 but he just
laughed at the officers for his bust
ness still showed q nice profit. House.
holders in Canada are permitted to
buy q case of whiskey a month for
their personal use. Many Of them
do not use whiskey, but permit their
names to be used and they make q
profit of ten or fifteen dollars month.
Mr.. Warren tells of q unique way
Of getting whiskey across the line.
Frequently household goods and other
effects are shipped to the states in
bond. The cars are not insnected as
they cross the line. Whiskey ven
doris keep their eyes open for such
cars, break the seals on them, put in
their whiskey, reseal the cars which
are not inspected at the line, and fol-
low the cars into the state. The seals
are broken and the whiskey taken
out. Canadian authorities have just
learned of this, latest pethod and are
ON the lookout for offenders.
Mr.. Warren says that many illicit
whiskey stills are being operated in
Canada. Whiskey is cheap over in
Canada, quart of the famous Johnny
Walker brand selling for $3.50. This
is the same brand that sells readily
in the states for SIS a quart.
Canadians buy their whiskey on pre-
scription. For fifty cents they may
procure a prescription from a doctor.
They take 1T to a dispensary and buy
their whiskey/for $3.50 a quart and
are allowed to keep the prescription
using it again and again.

They are just COWS he says, Of no

eggs Friday and sold them for 40
cents dozen. He packs them neatly
in cartons, keeps them nice and clean
and they are always fresh. He gath
.ers the eggs twice day and they
are never more than a week old when
marketed. He has 300 fine chicks.
He always feeds his poultry good
clean palatable food and this insures
the finest kind of eggs.
