For chIna's Health.

Effective work In health education
has been accomplished through the
school children in China. The Ameri-
can Junior Red Cross members have
thrown their efforts into the work al
ready done by welfare organizations.
In the fifth health campaign conducted
by the Y. M. Z. A. the juniors loaned
their services in addition to contrib
uting money. They took part in the
health pRrades, carrying large models
of flies, mosquitoes, rats and other
enemies to health. The older boys
conducted Open-air classes in the mar
ket places, where regular instruction
in personal hygiene was given TO chill
dren and Incidentally to the grownups
who were looking on. They distrib-
uted handbills and gave street-corner
lectures on health. Being born actors,
they advanced the cause greatly by
giving health plays. Part of the con-
tribution from the national children's
fund is used in making a survey of
gutter snipes," the destitute children
in Shanghai, and in furthering the
campaign against blindness.

Where Vendetta
Still Prevails

the crimes, no one was ever punished
by the law.
Agreed to Attend Mass Together
Then some one having authority
suddenly listened to reason. All the
hostile families-the Leporis, the Pes,
the SeaZzus, the Spezzigas and the
Nasas-far more hostile than the Mon
| tagues and Capulets, agreed to attend
service Of reconciliation together.
Their famous feud has been respon-
sible for no fewer than % hOmicides
during the last 10 years. It all began
with the murder "of Prof. Pier Felice
Stangoni, a widOwer who lectured at
the technical institute of Sassari
What he had done is not quite clear.
Some say he had f1irted with a Miss
Pes and then refused TO marry her.
Another story is that he was unin-
tentionally killed by mischievOus
boy from an unfrlendly village. Any
how, the professor was taking a coun-
try walk with his three boys, Albert,
Mario and Arnold, when some one
lurking In the thickets suddenly hit
him on the forehead with a bullet
from a catapult and killed him in
stantly.
There was a sensational trial and
the suspects We're acquitted. A few
months later, however, one of them,
Martin Pes, was killed. ThereupOn
the authorities arrested Professor
StangOnIs father-in-law, Paul Lepori,
a vigorous old man, and he was ac-
quilted for lack Of evidence. Assas-
sinations followed with furious rapid
ity. Nicholas Vasa was seriously
wounded one day and killed the next.
Members of the various families
were found dead in lonely places or
disappeared and were never seen
again. An immense amount of prop
erty was destroyed. Great -umbers
of innocent people went in daily fear
of their lives.
Ceremony of Reconciliation.
Two hundred members came from
far and near to attend the ceremony
of reconciliation.
The boys of Temple seminary
walked first In the procession. Then
came MOnsigOr Sauna. bishop of Tenn
piO and CastelsardO, followed by the
parish priest, the mayor with an Ital-
ian flag and an enormous crowd from
the whole countryside. PenItentlal
hymns were sung and mass was cele-
brated In the Opeh air amid deep emo
ton.
Then Father DellgiOs, famous
Franciscan preacher. spoke of the
beauty of Sardinia. the hospitality of
her people, always generous except
when carried away by traditional ha-
treds. He alluded to the rs victims
and invoked the blessing and pardon
of heaven on the survivors.
Then the members of the hostile
families were divided into two long
files and went up side by side to re-
ceive the episcopal benediction. There
was Paul Lepori, Uncle Paul" as he
is known to the whole countryside, the
tather-in-law and alleged ayenger of
the first victim, now ninety years of
age. and very hoary, but still erect
and vigorous.
Beside him was Salvatore Pes, the

The Last Combat
This is the story of the latest rec
Onciliation. Two families carried on
feud until they were both nearly de-
stroyed. They fought like wild beasts,
concentrating every nerve. every emo
ton, in the business Of killing the ira
ditionaI foe. Year after year, in am
bush and open fight members of both
families fell victims of the implacable
rancor.
oddly enough, however, the two
heads of the respective clans, sturdy
old men, remained unmOlested.
Youths and even children were laid
low. but the chiefs remained, like stall
wart oaks, undisturbed by the raging
tempest of crime
At last they remained almost alone.
A few more murders and they would
have been the solitary representatives
of their slaughtered lines. They took
no special precautions to guard
against attack. IN fact, one afternoon,
one of them was riding quietly back
to SasSari, accompanied by a servant.
\ few miles from home shot re-
sounded from behind a hill and he bit
the dust. He shook himself and rose
to his elbows, but he knew that his
hour had struck.
He called quietly to his servant.
Take off the saddle" he said.
When this was done he took cover
very steaIthily behind it, pointed his
gun in the direction from which death
had been let loose upon him.
Then he babe his servant run to-
ward the town. shouting as he ran:
My master is deadl"
Deceived by Ruse.
The man who had fired the shot
was completely taken in by this de-
vice. First, he peered out cautious
ly; then his whole body appeared
above the hill. 1t was the chieftain
of the other family.
The wounded man took q long, de- |
liberate aim, fired and saw with sat
iSfaction that he had hit his mark. |
The servant came running back, re-
called by the shot, and to him the old |
man said grimly:
"Ten them to bring two biers, for |
we are two dead men," And so 1t |
proved.
They found the chieftain with his |
head resting on the hard pillow af- /
forded by his saddle, and In death he |
still chung TO his gun. After this last |
tragedy the few survivors of the two |
families consented to make peace, for |
it seemed TO them that they had car
ried out the law of vendetta to its
bitter end.
But vendetta is In their blOOd-the
very children play at vendetta, just
as little Spaniards play at bull fights.
A trifing accident or a petty quarrel
may easily lead to another feud last
ing for centuries and spreading a reign
of terror over whole provinces.
