The Story of The American Red Cross
 in Italy. By Charles M BakeweH. Cloth, 253 pages, illustrated. Published
 by The Macmillan Company, New
 York. Price $2.
 This volume is not devoted to a statis- tical account of the Red Cross activities In Italy, but rather to the telling of the American People what their soldiers did
 in Italy and it is great and inspiring record of which America may well be proud. The American Red Cross went to Italy in it's hour of need. The ma terial aid that it has been privileged to give, at the front, in canteens, in assist anee to hospitals and in helping refugees and the needy family of soldiers, stretch es from one end of Italy to the other
 The volume deals with all these fea- lures of the work and the devoted ser vice of the organizations representa- tives through whose efforts there has been a strengthening of the bonds of friendship between the nations through mutual un- derstanding and mutual respect The author pictures that finer and more dis crininating appreciation of Italian char acter that the workers in the field have invariably gained.
 Through such volume a much clos l CT touch is gained of how invaluable has ] been the American Red Cross service Th' l book tells not only of the establishment 1 of relief centers, work houses, travelling l canteens, "asili'' for children and larg, l hospitals, but also of the building of en 1 tire cities for the accommodation of ref
 ugees from the Piaye and from Venice

REGULATIONS FOR SAFETY.

The registrar of motor vehicles in Massachusetts has ruled that liceRs/ and registrations of motorists who are convicted of raiding fruit and truck gar dens will be cancelled will add one more means of Encouragement to those who are inclined to engage in such busi- ness.
 Massachusetts is recognizing the need of curbing those who by the nse of au- tomobiles are showing themselves to be a nuisance or a menace to safety. The necessity of reducing danger through the insistence upon standard headlights is corning in for needed attention. And yet in spite of the danger that is caused by glaring headlights there are those who plead that it would be unjust to- those who are driving carefully and consider ately to trouble innocent motorists whose headlights might not exactly conform to the regulations
 It makes little difference how cautious ly and considerably an automobilist s driving. if he possesses a glaring head 1 light that will blind the driver coming in the opposite direction, who may bt equally cautious, there is menace that ought not to exist in highway, and ii one is going to be permitted to have tn, strongest and most dazzling headlight i cannot be expected that others will bt | denied and the others may be those wht drive like the wind and increase high way dangers because Of their reckless ness. their lights and their disregard fol i others. The lights on the car of tn, | careful driver can be just as blinding al i those on the car of a speedster
 By the regulation of the lights great CT measure of safety is assured for all i It doesn't eliminate all the danger, bu it helps. l. means protection for tht cautious driver and one that he shoult be glad to get and therefore be anxious to conform to. It is likewise regula ton that should be enforced else the ef fectiveness of it is lost. It makes littl difference what the law may be concern | ing the automobile and the highway, 0 | anything else for that matter, if it ism i respected it doesn't amount to much.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
Education Through Stories.
By Frances Angevine Gray

By Frances Angevine Gray
 The average child, by the time that he is four or five years old has devel oped a craving for stories. If be is attending a kindergarten this instinct is developed and at least partly satis- fled there. But even in that case he has the right to his half-hour at home when mother or father read or tell him stories. either at bed time or any other more convenient time.
 How many parents realize that this little hah-hour each day, if carefully planned for may be made an import ant introduction or addition to a child's education? And this does not mean that the ma terial chosen need be one bit less attractive to the child. But if a mother, instead of merely picking up at random any one of the childs books-which may be good, bad or indifferent-and reading mechanic ally merely to satisfy his demand, gives the matter just little thought, the story time" may be made very valuable as well as entertaining.
 There is a vast treasure of fables, folklore, fairy stories, poetry and myths of all lands and ages to draw from, which will furnish the child S imagination and give him an instinct for the worth while things in poetry and all literature.
 The librarian of any large library will be glad to furnish a list of the very best juvenile books to be read to small children. But there is great deal of material for fascinating stories, history, nature study, manual train ing and other. subjects which is not in such convenient form, but any mother who is interested, can find it with the help of the librarian or by consulting the tables of contents in bound volumes of the best children S ma gazines; she can retell the material thus gained in a simple form suitable l to her own child.
 It is worth while for any parent to I give some time and study to planning definitely the ground to be covered | for if all the reading develops some general scheme and is not purely hap | hazard, a very great and telling addi- l tion to a boys or girls education ma! be made with very slight effort on tht l part of the parent.

THE coNTEsr IN GREECE.

Not only those who are subjects or were former subjects of Greece are in terested, in the outcome Of the election in that country on Sunday but through out the world there cannot fail to be desire 10 know the outcome of the COL test, which will show whether Greece to- day desires the return of Constantine or whether it wishes to continue under a government of which Premier Venizelos will be 9 part. Should those who are opposing the Venizelos government be successful it will mean the return Of Con- stantine, who up to the time of the great war was highly regarded by his sub jects and particularly for the manner ir which he led the Greek forces against the Turks and Bulgarians.
 Nenizelos has likewise been most i'm portant and excellent leader for the Greeks. He has succeeded in overcoming the effects of the Constantine policy of playing into the hands of the former German kaiser during the early days ot the war and it is understood that his pol icies will be continued if those who are opposing the return of Constantine arr successful. Whether the Greeks have al lowed the conditions and hardships re sulting from the war to place the blaml for them upon Venizelos and for tha reason have yielded to the strong figh among the royalists for the return O Constantine the election results shoul
 soon tell. Likewise it will be show
 whether they have more confidence il
 such a ruler as Venizeios, the man wh
 has shown remarksble grasp of tn l Greecian situation, might choose, or i
 the leadership of their former king. Venizelos has done much for Greco and it still needs his assistance. H
 would be the logical head for a Greel republic if Greece were ready for sue 1 a change.

OsTEoPATH CURES WHOLE
 DISTRICT IN TURKEY OF MALARI.

Osteopathy promises to be one of the coming professions in the Near East. Not because the people Ere so used to IHn- melling each other that they take na.lr- ally to this form of medical treatment. but because an American osteopath cured almost a whole district of malaria by that method, says the New York Even ing Telegram.
 The American osteopath was a woman -Dr. Louise T. Mason, well known prsc- titioner of Boston, who returned on Mon- day on the steamship Philadelphia from Trebizond Turkey, where she hs1 beer serving since the armistice under the Near East Relief.

 There had been much said regarding her voting and many plans had been made because of her age. Some of her relatives who were democrats had tried to persuade her to vote the democratic ticket.

to grant equal political rights to women. In fact when Congress in 1868 created the Territory of Wyoming from parts of Dakota, Utah and Idaho, a eonstitu- ton was adopted which gave women tae right to vote. This was considered very revolutionary at the time, but in Wyom- ing the women have continued to have suffrage from that time and were thus the pioneers n this movement which has now culminated in the acceptance of the nineteenth amendment to our Con- stiution.
 There were rumors of early Spanish explorations in Wyoming but these seem unfounded by fact. Probably the first white men to visit this part of the coun- try were Sieur de Ia Verend E.. arA his sons who passed through this region in 1743 in search of locations for trading posts.
