In an official report to Charles ".
Vickrey, General Secretary Of the

of Spencer, Iowa, describes the pitt
able condition OF tens OF thousands
of homeless, starving, half-naked
refugees, driven from their homes IN
the war area, and huddled In stables
and out-houses, or on the bare
ground, for lack OF shelter.
Most OF the refugees are country
people with almost nothing except
the clothes on their backs, stupened
and dazed by their misfortunes.
Bread is given only to women and
children at the rate of one-half loaf
for person, each day. The milk 10
reserved for the babies and sick. The
refugees sit around, huddled up
against the walls-wOmen with dull,
sad faces, little children that are blue
and pinched with the cold, and too
miserably lifeless to cry. One family
of FIVE sleeps at night on a bare stone
floor, under one thin, ragged half
cotton blanket. In one room several
women are wasting away with tuber-
culOsis; in another are some severe
eye eases. including two young blind
girls, who have no one in the world

HUMAN FLY"
FALLSTO DEATH
Andrew Coray Fell From How
ard Hotel; Had Prernonition
of Death.

Baltimore Md, April 2s.-While
the body of Andrew Coray, human
/ fly," who fell to his death on Satur-
day afternoon from near the top OF
| the new Howard Hotel, is lying at
the morgue, police are making eff
! forts to get in touch with his widow
and child So far they have been un-
able to learn their whereabouts, but
it is believed they are somewhere in
New Jersey
Police have learned little about
Coray They heard indirectly that his
widow was divorced from him some
time ago because he refused to give
up his dangerous pursuits. The fact
that he was separated from her and
their child is said to have caused the
depression which made him declare
on Saturday that he had nothing to
live for, and that the three buildings
on his schedule to be climbed would
be the last he would ever tackle.
Coray's fall occurred while thou
sands of persons looked on He had
been engaged by the Pentecostal Or
phanage to scale the walls of two
apartment houses besides the hotel
but he abandoned the apartment
houses early in the afternoon be-
cause the walls were wet.
Coray seemed to have Fremont
ton of death. He told Mrs. Philip
Cohen. his employers wife. that he
had nothing to live for. and especially
requested that she and her husband
view his ascent. His nervousness was
apparent before he started to climb,
and often on the way up he paused
for a better hold.
Coray was born in Poland and was
% years old He was for years a ira
peze performer with Barnum and
Bailey's circus. but lately developed
a passion for climbing buildings. Lit
tie more than year ago he fell from
the sixth story of the Hartford Ma
tional Bank building in Hartford
Conn, and was confined to the hos
ptal for some time

"ALLEY AND BACK
YARD BEAUTIFUL"
A Western City That Had a
Campaign to Beauty the
Town.

The spring cleanup time. now a
regular annual feature of town and
city life, can not be observed on
farms in the same season because of
more pressing work. Efforts are made
constantly, therefore to encourage
picking up the odds and ends about
fall planting and early spring. In
the farms in the slack time between
many towns, however, the home de-
monstration agents give their organ
izing ability to furthering such work
in tie early weeks of spring.
In Spokane, Wash, campaign.
called the ALLEY and Bhck Yard
Beautiful" began in 1919 to extend
through five years. This work was
initiated and guided by the city home
demonstration agent whose reports
show excellent progress. Newspapers
give constant publicity to the work
urging the repairing of screens. win
dows. and outbuildings, and the plant
ing of shrubbery, trees. and flowers.
In 1920, in the city of Spokane, more
than 5000 grape cuttings and rooted
plants were set out. The chamber of
commerce supplied thousands of cir
culars drawings attention to the du-
ties of citizenship particularly for
