ALL WANTED THE GREEN HAT
Refugee Children Passed It All Along
the Line, Each Wearing It for
One Day.

New York-The community hat is
very much of a reality in the refugee
colony at Ismidt, Asia Minor, where
approximately 10000 Greeks and Ar
menians, made homeless by the mill
tary operations Of the Turkish Nation
alists and Greeks, have sought shelter,
says a worker of the Near East Relief
who has just arrived in New York.
"a large fraction of the refugees are
children, with the normal fondness of
the child for bright colors, which can
not be satisfied under the conditions
that they live in" this worker de-
clares. when bundle of old clothes
from America arrived one day there
was great rejoicing among the unfor-
tunate waits who come daily to the
Near East Relief clinic for treatment
for all sorts, of maladies. This par
ticular bundle contained hats, all of
which were passed out, with the ex-
ception Of large green picture hat
the creation of some fashionable mil.
liner back in the States.
"There came wall from one tiny
tot at the end of the line, who had
failed to receive her hat; so the green
one was given to her, to the great
envy of her companions.
"Clinic hour in the refugee camp Is
the event of the day for the children
On the following day, the@green hat
was in line, but the face under it did
not seem the same as the day before
On the third and fourth day the same
thing occurred Finally the reason
was discovered. The hat was being
passed from child to child, each being
given opportunity to wear the coveted
colors for one day. II never failed to
make the wearer happy and always,
on the pathetic, thin face underneath
it, was a joyful smile. The fact that
the hat rarely fitted the shaved head
that sported II made no difference, II
was the bright color rather than the
design that made it SO much desired"
The Armenians don't need many
green hats, but they do need practical
hats and warm clothing. Will you not
gather up your cast-offs and send them
to the Near East Relief warehouse at
$40 West seth Street, New York. Self

What's a Doonian?

what's DoOnian?
And what do you do with a Doonian?
What do you feed 'em and where do
you get 'em? Are they something
for the rheumatism? Are they--well
what is a Doonian?
A Doonian has two legs and two
arms and it wears old clothes.
Some are fat and some are lean.
The fat ones are those who have been
Doonians for the longest time and the
lean ones are those who remember
most wildly the Foodless Weeks, be-
fore they turned Doonian. The en-
tire Doonian family belongs to the
Near East Relief, and this is the way
a Near East Relief worker of the Urfa
orphanage explains them:
"All the little Armenian waits that
came struggling into our orphanage
for protection without remembering
their own names / called 'Doonian'
Consequently there are several thou
sand little Doonians over there-all
being fed and clothed by the Ameri-
cans who support the relief organiza-
ton. We fit them out in clothes which
the people in America cast off and
send over to us-and how the little
Doonians do love those old cast-offs! !"
Every year the Near East Relief
Committee makes its appeal for old
clothes to be sent over to clothe all
the little Doonians and their thousands
of little comrades wandering about in
the Caucasus who haven't the good
fortune to be members of the Doonian
family. At the orphanages the little
girls help to sew garments for them
selves, but as in every big family,
there are a great many of them that
have to wear the hand-me-downs from
America. The Doonians really prefer
these that come from America, be-
cause they usually are in gay colors
and the orphanage garments are in the

Example of Eternal Triangle viii
Soon Be Presented to Another
Judge and Jury.

Not so very long ago there lived to-
gether in Indianapolis a certain man
and woman. They were we'll past
middle age, and their children were
reared and gone. One evening the
man of the family nervously marked
the passing of time. Sad suspicion
gripped the heart Of the woman. The
husband explained that he would have
to be away from home that evening
on business. The wife explained that
she did not wish to stay at home alone,
and would go to a neighbours home
She left the house first. But she did
not go to the neighbours home. Instead
she slipped into the rear seat of the
curtained darkness of her husbands
automobile, and covered herself with
q robe. After q while he came out
Of the house and drove away. He
drove to another house I'm the city and
drew up In front. He left the car and
entered the house. The wife also left
the car and took position In the
shadows nearby. After few minutes
walt the man came out of the house
with another woman on his arm. The
eternal triangle was completed, and
the same old thing happened. Now
they are getting ready to tell 1t to the

LIKED LURID GARB
BUT FEARED WOMEN WOULD
STEAL HIS CLOTHES.
Armenian Refused to Go Home From
Hospital Until Skirt Was Made
Into Trousers.
BY Near East Relief Worker.


"Petros Martirossian refuses to go
home!"
The matron of the hospital made
this announcement, and asked me
what was going to do about it. He
has been in the hospital for two
months, the doctor says he is cured,
and we need the bed for another pa
tient. l have given him clothes-the
best we had, but he has been sitting
in the yard all day and refuses to
move"
remembered Petros, who had come
to us with bad case of frozen feet.
He had told me something about his
home and family and had been impa-
tient to get back to his village. | went
out to have talk with him and see
what was the matter.
Was this Petros? This grotesque
and pathetic figure crouching at the
hospital door? A lilac sunbonnet
dropped over his gloomy eyes. faded
pink pajama coat covered the upper
part of his anatomy, and below came
black velvet skirt, of the hobble
variety. The fashionable length of
this garment exposed his very bony
and hairy ankles. On one foot he wore
an old overshoe tied with piece of
string, on the other an army boot.
Poor old scarecrow! 1t was all
could do to keep from laughing-or
crying. Petros leaned forward and
kissed the hem of my apron. "Oriort-
JAM" (beloved Miss) he said, II beg
you not to send me home in these
clothes-they are beautiful-certainly
there are none like them in my viii
lage, the women will take them and l
will be naked! The matron told me
could make the skirt into. trousers,
but there are no needles, no thread,
no buttons in the whole of Kars Dis
| trict--what can | dor" Tears welled
from his eyes and struggled down over
his grey beard
Are there no mems clothes in the
store-room | asked the matron.
None" she answered. they were
all given away weeks ago. ! gave him
the best had and he is an unreason-
able old mani"
Petros agreed that the clothes were
very fine. But he knew women, he
asserted. The moment he got home
they would take his skirt and give him
| -four sack.
| There was only one thing to do.
With the aid of a pair of scissors and
a sewing machine | transformed the
black velvet skirt into something re-.
sembling trousers. Petros, draped in
a blanket, superintendent operations
