John Brandon spoke quickly.

began.
But Barbara made permission un-
necessary by starting us so. sud

"Sit down." Tom warned. Then.
al she obeyed with a muttered
apology. whats the matter7"
II want to go ashore" she said.
"I will not have Mr.. Brandon ask
Aunt Cynthia to let me do a thing.
I can look out for myself
Which speech confirmed Tom
White in his idea that Barbara did
not care much for John Brandon.
"Why, Barbara" her aunt greeted
her as she came up the bank from
the canoe, II was just ABOUT to say
that you might go back with Tom
why didn't you do it?'
Because I did not want to-" was
the succinct reply. II have had
enough canoeing for one evening.

"Yes; do come along" Tom urged.
Then, as Daisy seated herself in
the canoe Barbara turned to the
other girls.

automobiles" she proposed. II have
suddenly realized that I have been
lazy all the evening-automob

Her companions protested that she

NON-ESSENTIALS N Q TAKE UP SUGAR

Mrs James J. Grace, state chair man of the Division of Women's Ac- tivities, Department of Justice, has obtained statistics from Washington, D. C., today, proving that twenty per cent. of all sugar in the United States at least, goes into the manufacture of non- essentials or luxuries.
 Mrs. Grace therefore issues the following appeal to the women of the state:
 Reduce per capita consumption of sugar one-hahf, for this country is far in excess of any other in the con- sumption of sugar in the form of lux uries. If the use of non-essentials as represented by candy. soft drinks, chewing gum, etc., is curtailed one half, a plentiful supply of sugar for the essential industries and house. wives will be assured. The coming canning and preserving season makes this imperative. There can be no question that the curtailed demand reduced dry goods prices, hence all consumers of sugar in the state are asked to cooperate, thereby causing a. similar reduction in the price of sugar.

CARDS FROM A BA NlDIT

 The missionary, homeward bound from the interior of China, raid the tribute which the robber chief exacted and started on his way, but the ban dit called him back
 "Pd better give you my card Ii will take you safely to the Loo River two hundred miles away. Beyond thai I'm not known
 The missionary took the card and found that it was better than a gov ernment passport. At the very nex. ford someone called to him:
 Who are you, and what's your business?"
 "I'm an American missionary on .,ay way to Shanghai"
 Have you a card from Chang. the bandit chief?"
 'Yes."

CLAIMS BLOCKADE AGAINST RUSSIA
 IS DOING HARM

We are nearer to Russia than we stop to think. No man who wears a linen collar or shirt, no woman who uses a linen Ina ndkerchief or towel no home where there ara linen table colths and napkins, but is related through these commonpaace things to the. economic problem created by the absence of Russian flax from the markets of the world. The absence also of Russian caIfsktns is reflected in the price of leather and the cost of shoes. The. bread we have today eaten reflects in it's cost the absence of Rus sian wheat The chemical industries feel seriously the lack of Russian plat mum.
 The blockade against Russia should be removed for the Soviet authorities are making that blockade a prop to susta ain their falling fortunes They charge to the blockade all the ills which are the results of their-own in Competence and wrong doings. With the removal of the blockade this re source will be taken away. Little trade is likely to ensue for the Rus sian transportation system has broken down, and save for such limited quan- titles of goods as may be here and there found at or near a seaport, there is no possibility of transporting ma terials on any considerable seale.--- w. c.

QUESTIONS ASKED
 BY K. c. SCHOLARS

Did Tom Paine write the Ameri- can Constitution ?'' What do you mean by the public first, then the men, then the companies ?'' ''Why don't the Catholics join the Socialists and help the working men?'' Why are the Bolsheviki winning so fast in Russia ?'' What good is a union to migratory workers?'' 'tWho cares for a working stiff when he gets o1d?"
 These are samples of the hundreds of questions dropped in the question boxes in Knights of Columbus social clubs and night schools. They are the questions that are answered at question-bees held once a week, and it may be interesting to know that questionerS are erically, than in the East. The type of min q that asks them is the sincere mind, the uniformed foreign-born or the miS1nfornned native,-the man who has had sense enough to deny him self pastirne in a pool-room, picture or burIesque show to go to a K-C night school and sit in at an even ing's lecture on citizenship.

PRAISES WORK OF
 YANKEE NURSES
 IN JERUSALEM

New York, May 25. - Emanuel Mohl, of the Society of Engineers, who has just returned from Pales- tine, gives a vivid account of the anti-Jewish riots in Jerusalem on Easter Sunday, of which he was an eye witness. He paid high tribute to the courage and heroism of Amerl- can nurses and physicians of the Zionist Medical Unit who disregar ded death or personal injury from snip CTS bullets and in fighting fires dur ing the disorders.
 "I never saw such bravery or de- votion to duty, as these American men and women displayed" said MT. Mohl. ttPart of them had to stay in the Medical Units hospital to receive and attend the wounded. The rest were on the go constantly for two days, rushing at breakneck speed through the streets in their trucks and ambu1ances, gathering up the wounded and rushing back to the hospital All the nurses and doctors were on duty for from 36 to 40 hours without any sleep or meals, and even then after the let-up, they had to be forced to eat and get some rest.
 '"The nurses and doctors rushe d right into the midst of the rioters and carried away the injured. The { Red SlX-PO11ted Star of David, worn
 by all members of the unit, combine q
 with their reso1ute and determine d courage, in facing every danger, pro-
 tected them, for not once were any of
 them molested by the Arab rioters
 Part of this was due to the admira-
 ton and wonderment their heroism produced.
 1T saw many examples where these nurses and doctors went boldly among the rioters and rescued the wounded but one striking case of he ! roism I never will forget was when three nurses walked straight through
 a crowd of threatening and menacing Arabs, surrounding a house and walked out with four old women, two old men and several children. The nurses with heads erect and eyes flaming, walked straight through the ring of Arabs, who melted away from l them, and led the frightened ole people and children to a synogogue.' | The American Zionist Medical Unit 1 composed principally of American 1 doctors and nurses, has been in Pal estine two years, carrying on medica and sanitation work. It has five hos 1 pitals in various parts of Palestine, as | well as several clinics. -Dr. l. M 1 Rubinow, of New York, is it's presen I director.
