RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent $1,200,000 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions OF acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
inces Of Northern China, where mil
lions OF persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage OF food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $l,20o,ooo'
$1,000, 900 of which was contributed al,
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups m
terested in the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal OF
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November II to "a.
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in Its opera
tions in China was particularly effec'
tive, for In addition to saving hundreds
of thousands Of lives 1t provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent q recurrence of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them In food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and elsewhere.

BLACKBIRD IN THRUSH'S NEST
Correspondent Of Scottish Newspaper
Calls Attention to Remarkable In
cident He Has Observed.

Last week l discovered In the Ivy
on sunk wall In my garden nest
which had all the characteristics of a
thrush's nest, with plastered lining
only, and which contained two eggs,
pale blue with small black spots-the
eggs of song thrush, writes corre-
spondent. Later on | noticed bird
sitting Oh the nest. Only the head
was visible, but 1t appeared to me
that the bird was hen blackbird and
not a thrush. 1t was some days be-
fore ! found the bird off the nest,
when on looking In, / discovered that
the plastered lining of the nest had
been slightly covered with dried
grasses, and that the nest contained
four blackbird's eggs-bluish green
with notified ends. The two thrush's
eggs had disappeared. They could not
be found at the foot Of the wall below
the nest, but there was found on a
green above the wall the broken egg
of a song thrush. When | discovered
the nest part Of its outer wall was
slightly torn, as If cat had climbed
up the Ivy and endeavored to claw out
the bird then sitting. Is 1t possible
that the thrush may have been scared
away and the nest taken over by
blackbird and adapted to her require
ments? None Of my friends, versed
In the habits of birds, ever heard of
similar case.-Edinburgh Scotsman.

and prancing horses. As the great
preacher was little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t Is claimed that the gown was a
preaching gown, but It Is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and,
generally speaking, 1t seems to accord
with the style Of a black study-gown.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented a pair Of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition.
and are Of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, Of course, Travelled through
out Great Britain and Ireland In all
weathers on his preaching tours, and
It was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains q
large number of interesting relies Of
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair Of John, and presently,
as a gift from the donor of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
dominions and the United States,
where the interest in all that relates
to the early history Of Methodism Is
very keen.

New York likes to refer to Its
spendthrift milliona!res. The head
waiter of a magnificent eatery told me
that for the bountiful gratuity he pre-
ferred the visiting sod-buster to the
son of a millionaire. The young man
from Hohokus having his annual fling
has read SO much about huge tips
that he thinks anything under $40
bill will be tossed back at him. The
information volunteered by the head
waiter came after a well-known spend
thrift had departed with two young
ladies'. His dinner check came to so
and he gave the waiter $2-the head
waiter nothing. And" continued the
head waiter, "see that young fellow
over there in the green suit with a
large Adams apple. He has been
shucking off So bills to every walter
in the place. And he gave me a half
century note. I'm afraid his keeper
will be along soon and make US give
II back."--Exchange.
