The matron of honor at the wedding
had twice been charming widow be-
fore she married her present husband
During the preparations for the we'd
ding she had kept much In the back
ground lest some one would twit her
on being experienced in weddings, but
at the ceremony she came out with
flying colors determined to outshine
the bride in receiving attention II pos
sible.
And she got 1t, too.
The ceremony had proceeded with.
out hitch until in the middle Of one
of the responses, when the little bride
forgot. She hesitated, stammered and
then was silent. For a minute every
one was disturbed and then one OF thu.
ushers leaned over TO the matrOn of
honor. Prompt her, Marie" he or

most every one to hear him.

destruction, wrought by war that
has never ended and that today Is not
even ended. 1t Is starvation following
pestilence, and stalking hand in hand
with death from exposure, from vio-
lence or from disease.
I'm the mountains between Kars
and Alexandropol there are 100000
human beings without clothing, food or
shelter In the bitter winter, who are
wandering from place to place like
people In nightmare. Unless they
are succored before the end of an
other month. they will all be dead.
In southern Persia, the remnant of the
ancient family Of Chaldean Christians
have been forced to renounce forever
all hope Of ever returning to the home
land where they have dwelt and hour
ished for 1000 years, and to become
pitiful fugitives, dependent upon the
generosity Of strangers for life itself.
In Cilicia, $1,000 armenian refugees
have crowded into the coast regions
seeking safety from the anarchy which
reigns In the interior, In terror for
their lives. They live from day to
day On the food which is given them
In the soup kitchens established by
the Near East Relief. Scattered
throughout the Near East, there are
some 1890, 400 Armenians, the re-
mainder Of nation Of 100000, who
have neither government, country,
homeland, shelter or hope OF regenera-
ton, save that which lies In the great
heart Of America.
at is q tragedy so stupendous that
It Is difficult for us to grasp its mean
ing. A whole nation, a living, Christian
people, face to face with extermina-
ton today, unless we help. We shall
see an entire nation disappear from
the face Of the earth before our eyes
IL we withhold our hand now, when
the call comes to US to save 6y giving,
or by inactiOn to condemn to death.

He is vigorous and energetic. He
was an exceptional athlete In his coli

like him. Nevertheless, they were

some day something would happen to

A girl came to borrow a textbook

she would return 1t the next day be-

lecture, he had recourse to 1t. While
turning the leaves a powder pun
fell to the floor. There was an ag-

floor to see what had fallen, and when
he saw the pun he tried wildly

Device Saves Cargo Space.

Surprisingly large cargo space char
acterizes two sulphur-carrying steam
ships recently built at Eewburgh, N.
T., as a result OF new, patented ar
rangement Of the twin propeller shafts
Ordinarily these shafts would have
been mounted In tunnels placed near
the center line Of the ship, thereby
breaking up the floor of the after
holds into useless wings and central
pockets. says Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. But the new arrangement
places the two power units as far out
board as possible In the engine room,
and consequently locates the shafts
along the after bilges ard run OF the
vessel. or in other words. near the
joints Of sides and bottom.

East Relief Work.

New York.--"There is no spot on
the globe today where there is more
desperate and hopeless suffering than
In Armenia" Edwin M. Buckley, the
well known New York banker, who has
Just been elected chairman OF the
board of trustees Of Near East Relief,
declared today. Mr.. Buckley succeeds
the late Alexander ]. Hemphin as
head Of the American relief work In
Armenia, Turkey, Palestine, Syria,
Mesopotamia and Persia. He has long
been connected with the banking house
of Spencer Trask & Co., and Is thor
oughly conversant with the Near East
ern situation.
ELSEWHERE" Mr.. Buckley continued,
"there Is famine that tears at our
heart-strings and evokes our pity and
our help. But In Armenia 1t Is not
starvation alone that the people face

FIRST AID WORK
is BEING PUSHED

Two phases of the Red Cross work
that are being pushed under the peace
program Of the organization are first
aid and life saving-two principals
with which every person should have
at least the fundamentals, for there Is
no feelings at what time they will
prove Of vital need.
!. In the central division, In particu-
lar, Is this work being carried on ex-
tensively and intensively. More chap
tiers have taken up this line of work
and the number of schools which have
adopted courses in first aid Is in
creasing with considerable rapidity.
During the last few months the Bu-
reau Of first aid has been instru-
mental In introducing courses in the
normal schools In each Of the states,
with the result that several hundred
teachers now are prepared to act as
Instructors. In several instances
enough interest has been aroused in
the normal schools to have work con-
tinued throughout the year.
Swimming Activities Grow.
Swimming activities have been ex-
ceptionally well carried on, particu-
larly at Muskeg0n, Mich, where, I'M
der the auspices of the Chicago chap
Ter, more than 400 boys were taught
swimming, life saving and elementary
first aid under expert instructors.
Ludington. Mich. also employed a
permanent teacher for swimming and
life saving and reports excellent at
tendance in the classes. Many appli-
cations have been received from chap
ters throughout the division for the
use OF swimming teacher, but, un-
fortunately, up TO the present time
there have not been enough teachers
to meet the demands.
Milwaukee Chapter Busy.
Milwaukee chapter has carried on
an exceptionally active campaign,
both In first aid and life saving
work, and reports q large number of
graduates. This chapter also has
pushed the advanced work in the
instruction of first aid and has pu-
pills at present awaiting their medals,
which have been issued to them from
Washington.
Many private institutions which
have no connection whatever with the
Red Cross have been ordering first
aid supplies through the division
Office. These institutions undoubtedly,
in a very short time, will be brought
under the Jurisdiction Of the Red
Cross chapters.

Women Live undsrareund.

Mrs. ]. r. Forbes, the well-known
woman traveller, who lately returned
to England after wandering for sew
eral months from Moscow to Syria,
tells q story Of her discovery Of q
tribe Of women who live underground.
They are to be found In the caves of
the Tripoli mountains and come up,
says Mrs. Forbes, only once In the
course Of their lives. That is when
they marry and change their abode for
that of their husband. Being cOntln-
ualiy In their underground caves re-
markable change takes place In their
appearance. They become very white
In the face, and their eyes become dark
and brilliant. AS they grow older
they are seized with passion for
dyeins their hair with henna. In the
daylight these women are almost
blind; in fact they stagger about as
though under the influence Of drink.
Their houses are spacious enough for
them to keep all their live stock un-
derground, including their camels.
