asked that the bill be passed over

Ball bill providing for merger of

The Senate passed a bill granting
pension to DR.. o. II. Tittman, 70
years old, former superintendent OF
the Coast and Geodetic Survey,
who served forty-eight years in the
government. Senator King opposed
the action, saying the policy of
pensioning people who formerly
were employed by the government
would grow until the burdens
would be too great for the taxpay-
ers unless there be drawing of
the line somewhere. He declared
it is an imperialistic policy, and
not a democratic one.
He took occasion to reiterate that
the civil service is a fraud and q

Juniors Doing
Good Work in
The Balkans

Although less than one year
old, the Junior Red Cross, of
Czechoslovakia, which was or
ganized by the aid Of the Junior
American Red Cross Is already
doing splendid work. In spite. of
the fact that. there are SO many
needs for their services at home,
the Czech juniors have been
quick to spring to the relief of
the suffering children of Russia.
In this they have set an example
to all the world.
The Juniors are being supplied
with materials which they are
making up into garments for the
half-clothed Russian children.
Besides this sewing and knitting
junior classes will undertake to
find homes for Russian refugee
and orphan children and will
assist them financially. Each
class is to be a sort of foster
mother to the child it adopts.
The Czechoslovakian minis
try of education has requested
that the schools arrange for
special hours each week to be
set aside for this work for the
Russian children. the hour to be
called Russian hour" The ju-
nior boys will give marionette
shows. plays and games, the
proceeds of which will be do
mated to the common relief fund.
One day has been set aside in
each week, during which the
juniors will abstain from the
use of butter and fats, and will
ask their parents to contribute
the saved portion to the gov
ernment's collectors when they
call for donations for the starv-
ing people of Russia.
The Junior Red Cross move
ment so pronounced in Czecho-
slovakia. is rapidly spreading
throughout the world. Canada,
Australia, China, Switzerland,
T Poland and Hungary already
have their organizations, and
plans are being perfected for
the enrolment of the school
children of Great Britain. Italy,
France, Belgium, Bulgaria and
Portugal.

Hungry, These
Game Riddles
Kept Secret

Eight battered lunch pals hung
en the wall under eight ragged
caps and hats. The noon bell
rang. Slowly. a little YEARLY,
eight pairs of hands took them
iowa. and carried them out to
ths shade of the biggest boulder
beyond the school.
Now and then, one of the
eight. the eldest brother, peered
Ver the rocks rim and surveyed
ths yard where his schoolmate,
"a in little groups, nibbling
hard-boiled eggs and unwrapping
"a sandwiches from waxed pa
per. Already one boy. examining
q last chunk OF cake into his
oulged cheeks. was reaching for
the fayorite baseball bat. The
boy on the rock made sure that
the teacher was still within the
darkened doorway. Yes! She
was standing at the window sill
pouring tea. The blue china pot
shone in the sunlight and the
hot vapor steamed up between
the ferns.
When the boy saw that he
and his seven brothers and sis
tiers were quite unobserved, he
turned and nodded. The young
est opened her pail. One of the
twins drummed on the lid of his.
But no one ate. There was
nothing to eat. The pals were
empty.
After a while the eldest stood
up so that anyone might see
and pretend to throw a crust of
over the boulder's edge.
This happened, not in devas-
tated Flanders. nor in hunger
stricken Austria, nor in unfor-
tunate Russia but in one of the
most placid and prosperous val
leys of a great Western State.
And not once. but noon after
noon, for weeks.
The teacher wondered. why
these particular brothers and
sisters remained so resolutely
away from the rest me Other
children wondered why the
eight never played the running
games after lunch.
But no one knew of the gall
liant game they played out be-
hind the rocks with the battered
lunch pals, until a Red Cross
worker found them at home, just
before school. parceling out a
loaf Of bread That was break
fast. She saw them take their
empty pals and trudge of to
school. Hours before, the mother
and father had gone to work in
the fields At night they would
come home. and another loaf
would make dinner for ten.
Then the Junior American Red
Cross, without a word to rob
the eight game little actors of
their secret. started a hot lunch
in the school. Some of the pu-
pills brought nickels, some
