know everything, and they really sue
coed in impressing people with the
idea that they are very wise, and they
go to work to measure, with the New
York, New England or Western rule,
matters in Maryland or elsewhere, to
which their rules do not apply. They
are about to apply these rules to Ma
ryland schools and colleges, (the Hop
kins excepted, of course), and soon we
shall have elaborate reports, at an eX-
pense of thousands of dollars, showing
how backward and how ignorant we
are in everything that goes toward
educating children, and boys and girls
of more mature years. One of them
at a recent meeting of the county
school superintendent, advocated the
expenditure of a considerable sum of
money Twenty thousand dollars as a

colored schools in the counties how to
play basket ball or socker, while an
appropriation to teach them how to
use the shovel and hoe would be more
to the point. A reverend gentleman
is here now asking the city authorities
to pay him a percentage on the
amount expended in the building of the
proposed new school houses in Balti-

on their adaptability for the purpose
intended. This reverend gentleman,
whose father was at one time in

pend tens of thousands of dollars to
teach young darkies how to play bas-
ket ball and soccer really takes the
cake, and it is said that it did not
cause a smile on the faces of the as

posed by foreign expert, and, of
course, was all right. We are moth

GRAY SAMARITANS
RESCUING CHILDREN

The Young Women's Christian Asso-
Citations of the United States are keenly
interested in the movement for the re-
lief Of the 100000 starving children
of Europe because a group of their
members, the Polish Gray Samaritans,
have been in charge of distributing food
to children in Poland. They have been
serving under the American Relief ad-
ministration and have conducted food
kitchens and distributing stations in
all parts of Poland outside Warsaw.
In all the relief work being done in
Europe, that Of the Polish Grays has
been unique because all the girls,
though sent from America, were either
born in Poland or are Of Polish paren-
tage. When the need for social serv-
ice in their country became acute
many girls Of Polish descent answered
the call of the Young Women's Chris
tan Association for overseas service
ing course that was given in several
cities of the United States. From this
group thirty girls were chosen and sent
to Poland where, since 1913, they have
been caring for the children of the
country. The distribution of clothing
has taken them into all parts Of
Poland.
They are now spending their entire
time in arranging for the feeding of
children this winter. Groups of them
travel to strategic centers in outlying
districts where they set up distributing
stations, receive supplies, prepare
meals, arrange for impartial dlstribu-
ton and train helpers to continue the
work when they are sent on to the next
town

POLAND NOW RIVALS
! PLIGHT OF BELGIUM
Children Chief Sufferers in Land
Stripped of Necessities,
J Says Relief Worker.

Poland is in the destitute state for
want Of food and clothing among the
poor that Belgium would have been
during the war, had there been no COM
mission for relief in that country, ac-
cording to DR.. Vernon kellogg, Ameri-
can Relief Administration official, who
recently returned from Warsaw.
DR.. Kellogg was a member of Mr..
Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the
conclusion of hostilties, entered Po-
land as the Hoover emissary in charge
Of food relief. He first entered Poland
in 1915, few months after the Ger
man occupation. His report Of starva-
ton, disease and suffering that exist
ed at that time is one Of the most
narrowing documents in the records
of American relief work overseas.
DIR. Kellogg made the following
statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
with Warsaw as our headquarters,
we began operations in Poland in JAN
uary, 1919, and within a few weeks
there was established a steady impor-
tation of food into that country. Tons
and tons of it came from overseas
through the Port of Danzig.
at was impossible to do all that
the administration wanted to do, be-
cause the need of Poland was too great,
but 1t was agreed that enough food
should be sent to Poland to care for
the four million people until the great
agricultural districts could again pro-
vide for them.
"But in addition to these four mil
lion people who so pressingly needed
relief, there was another call for relief
from source that could not be re-
sisted: the children of the land. Many
Of these were orphans, hungry, ema-
ciated, destitute and diseased. SO the
American Relief Administration added
to its work by instituting a system Of
feeding these children. In a few
months million and a quarter Polish
children were getting a free meal ev-
cry day of special food prepared to
counteract the effects of their previous
undernourishment."
To finish the job eight great organ
izations have united under the name
Of the European Relief Council to raise
the funds necessary to care for the
food needs and the medical needs of
the 100000 children Of Eastern and
Central Europe. These organizations
are the American Relief Administra.
ton, the American Red Cross, the
American Friends Service Committee
(Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribu-
ton Committee, the Federal Council Of
the Churches of Christ in America, the

Mr.. Paul Winchester, Newspaper Man

His Assertion.
Mr.. Paul Winchester, a newspaper

"The State and city authorities seem
to be going daft on the subject of ex-

OUSEHOLD
TALKS
PIES WITH A BAKED CRUST

Any good bread or pastry flour
may be used in making pastry, or
either corn starch or corn meal may
be used in combination with it. Any
good solid fat may be used. Have it
we'll chilled and use cold water. Keep
pastry cold, handle as little as pos
sible and roll lightly on one side only.
Add water slowly and avoid using
too much-not more than just enough
to hold the mixture together. -
The lightness of pastry depends up
on the amount of air enclosed and the
expansion of that air in baking The
flakeness depends on the kind and
amount of fat used. The fat should
not be cut in very fine if flaky crust
is desired. The tenderness depends
upon the care used in mixing and
handling. Avoid using flour on the
board when rolling pies. 1t is not
necessary to grease the pan used for
baking. .

U. S. Shipping Board Is Al

PLACED CONTRACT
ON A HIGH BID
Testified Stewart Dickson
Before Congressional
Committee

New York, Nov. l6.-Stewart Dick
son, president of Stewart Dickson and
Company, Inc, testified before con
gressional committee to-day that as
bestos packing was purchased by the
United States shipping board in Febru-
AIRY and March of this year at prices
50 per cent higher than what they
should have been
He said there were five bids for the
contract, four of which were practical
ly the same. The four averaged about
/ 80 a pound His bid was Sl.20.
In explanation of the award of the
contract to higher bidder, he said,
he was informed the engineers had
complained against his product. He
added that he had never paid any
gratitudes and had never been asked to
do so.
The witness further said a contract
had been made by the board for a
years supply of asbestos cloth at Sl.60
a pound on a falling market, when a
fair price would have been Sl.l0 a
pound
He also charged that there was a
monopoly in this commodity. He esti-
mated the loss to the government on
such a contract at more than sf,000,0 600
a year. Each OF the boards 200 yes
sells, he claimed, used about 5000
worth of asbestos a month.
John F. Richardson, who assisted in
preparing for the committee the re-
port upon which the injury is in part
based, was recalled.
He presented list of cases upon
which he said the report was based. He
charged that purchases had been
checked inefficiently and that alien and
inexperienced painters had been em-
ployed on shipping board vessels when
there was on file with the board a list
of more than 500 painters who wanted
work
He also said that there was a con-
troyersy in 1918 between the operating
division at New York arising from du-
plieation in payment of bills for sup
plies purchased at New York. He said
