AID GERMAN CHILDREN
Appeal Is Sent to Help Feed Little
 Ones of Frankfurt

The Age-Herald has received from Frankfurt, Germany an appeal for aid in feeding the poor children of that city with request for it's pub lication. The communication signed by the executive committee of the Frankfurt Childrens Aid reads as follows:
 "Philanthropists throughout the world;
 Now, three years after the close of the terrible World war. the heart rending effects of famine and mall nutrition show to their full extent.
 Tt is our children that are stricken hardest and suffer most keenly. Girls and boys, emaciated by rickets and tuberculosis. fill our hospitals. The entire future of our coming genera ton is seriously endangered, unless quick and vigorous help be given. Germany's own resources are almost exhausted. Do not be deceived by the apparent prosperity and extrava- gant mode of living indulged in by minority of Germans, who un- scrupulously scoff at the distress of the people at large, and hurt our reputation abroad. TO all those who, last year, assisted us in alleviating the sufferings of Frankfurt children, as well as to all friends of humanity abroad we address this appeal:
 Help the innocent children.
 Help us in our efforts to afford 1000 Frankfurt children, poor city bred children, the benefit of an out ing in the country, the blessing Of good nutrition, and assist us in saving 10000 children, as We were able to do last year.
 Large amounts Of rnonev are need- ed. Therefore: Give, give to our children: do not hesitatel
 Please address money and checks to the Frankfurt bank and to the Commerz-u Privat bank for ac- count of Frankfurt Kinderhilfe' in Frankfurt a. NJ.

Concerning the Poppy.

To the farmer the poppy is an un-
welcome weed. In the old days, how.
ever, the flower was held in great es-
teen, being dedicated to Ceres, the
goddess of agriculture. 1t played an
important part In harvest-home cele-
brations and other ceremonies, and
was protected In the countryside. To
day, in Switzerland, the poppy Is used
as love token, Girls place a petal
in the palm of their left hand and
strike 1t with their right. If the petal
bursts with sharp pop" the lover
in the case Is held to be sincere. II
there is no sound the girl believes
him false.
