Heroic Richard

What with the news that this yeai

cases OF fatal sunburn, there is cause
for apprehension on the part Of ad-
mirers Of that Adonis of the screen

Blood infection is said to be the
peril Of victims from whom Old Sol
has peeled the cuticle protection.
II the reports about the physical
dangers, as we'll as discomforts oi

No More New York
Straw Hats for Him
Says Wesley Barry

Wesley Barry's pet alligator.
Mickey" swan 5000 miles across
the country from New York to Los
Angeles and that's some swim for
any crocodile.
True, the alligator made the watery
route in the wash basin Of the Pull
man, but nevertheless he swan all
the way. II you don't believe it
ask Wesley.
Yves arrived in Los Angeles
after four months absence.
He was accompanied by his mother
and Mickey" his new pet alligator
mentioned above and which he
bought in Florida while working
there with John Barrymore's "The
Hidden Paradise" soon to be re-
leased.
"I'll tell the keyed world that I'm
glad to be back" exclaimed Wesley
as he removed New York straw
hat from his head, placed it on the
ground and kicked it over the fence
of the depot. That's what I think
of New York and New York straw
hats" said Wes, "and if anyone can
get me l6 miles out of Los Angeles
again they'll have to feed me
chloroform first"
Perhaps the fact that Wesley is
devoid Of all his famous freckles has
something to do with his ire over
the east. Wesley Barry minus his
freckles is difficult to imagine, but
that's just what the sunless New
York did to him. However, he's
hoping that a few days-without the
shelter of a straw hat-under the
California sun will restore the fam
Gus freckles to their respective
| places.
Despite his evident wrath, Wes-
1ey's visit east was marked with
triumph everywhere. Among the
honors bestowed upon him included
the parade headed by himself on
Boys day." in which $4,000 young
sters marched, his pitching ball to
Babe Ruth who promptly sent it
over the back fence at the Pols
grounds, his direction Of the traffic
on Fifth avenue and 42d street, and
other incidents that gave him many
thrills"
Among other things, he has
grown three inches during his ab-
sence and now speaks with a voice
that cracks with every third word.
In his suitcase he confided, there was
neatly packed a brand new suit with
LONG TROUSERS. II will prob
ably take q few weeks before Wes-
ley summons enough courage to
come right out in public with his
'longies," but he confidcntially
whispered to his friend that he was
shortly going to give Marshall
Neilan, his boss, the thrill of his
life"
Wesley was accompanied on his
trip by his mother, who stated that
she would never make another trans
CONTINENTAL journey with an alli-
gator. Had it not been for til.
fact, that the conductor was an ad-
mirer of Wesley, we would surely
have been put off tire train the day
tie alligator got out of his basic
| and crawled out into the train for
the excitement of the passengers"
Within the next few weeks Weslay
will start work for Marshall Neilan

turlists in nearly 500 villages, with a
total population of probably 4oOUo'
to erect temporary homes, restore
their farms and become selt-sustain-
ing said DIR. Moorhead. Il have JUST
visited the section to which the loans
were made. The farmers have paio
per cent interest on the small loans'
as they agreed. and in some cases they
have even paid off the principal in

The villages aided by the American
Luthcrans are chiefly in the vicinity
of Lublin and Cholm, where DIR. Moor
head found the population living in
cellars and shacks in the fall of 1919.
Tho country has been laid waste py
years of fighting. 1t was land OF
small farmers having tracts of LANDS
varying from five to 40 acres, but with
little machinery, no stables, no houses,
no animals and no seed.
When the farmers asked DR.. MOOT
head for food and clothing he called
together local committees and told
them he would rather help the com
munities re-establish themselves on a
permanent basis than grant temporary
relief which would only better their
situation for a short time. Loa n
banks were established in each of the
villages under the direction of local
committees. An agreement was reach

Impoverished small landowners were to
have timber at n nominal price ana

1t could be called little and small

that those words mean the same thlnS.
But depression is not digcstiolc when
ones hungry for the meat OF the

in this one, for it's about sparrows.
and they arc not the posscssors OF

But the observation l am about to

have been a good carpenter. 1 often
wonder IL he belonged to the union
and how many hours day he worked
during those forty days and nights;
also II he sawed his own lumber.
And that reminds me that sparrows
don't have to use lumber for their

always find dimension stuff lying
around where they can pick 1t UP to

Prices for grain and vegetables were
so high in Poland last summer that
the families which had planted crops
realized a handsome income and were
able to pay their interest and make
other needed improvements on their
farms in preparation for next year.
Il found the villages have differ
ont outlook upon life," said DR.. Moor
head. The spirit of hopelessness and
ruin is gone. Workmen and merchants
have profited by the good fortune of
the farmers. and there has been a
nomic regeneration. The plan worked
so well that the interest is being used
to help other villages and additional
appropriations will be made from our
relief funds to extend this sort of re-
lief in Poland"
The villages assisted were made up
chiefly of Lutherans, but where there
were Jewish and Catholic farmers In
the communities, these were also aid
ed by the loan banks. In many OF
the villages assistance was also cN-
tended to textile workers, whose hand
looms had been destroyed, and the
peasant home industries are being re-
stored.
All in all, the American Lutherans
have given 81, 900 600 for European re-
lief work in the last is months and
this has been expended in IA coun-
tries of central Europe, extending
from the new Baltic governments
made out OF old Russia to Bulgaria.
Large supplies of food and clothing
have been distributed by the Ameri-
can Lutherans, but DR.. Moorhead be-
lievcs temporary relief work of that
sort must speedily give way to re-
lief designed to assist war sufferers
in helping themselves back to self
supporting work so they will not be
pauperized and encouraged to accept
help when they are not doing some
thing to help themselves.

HEALTH WORK MEN
SEEK A HOSPITAL
Board Will Meet This Morning
to Take up Detention
Building Question.

The county and city joint board Of
health will at meeting at Hotel Rain
bow this (Thursday) morning discuss
the ACCESSIBILITY of retaining only the
building at 126 Commercial avenue for
use as a detention hospital. This
building was inspected Wednesday by
the board of county commissioners,
with Drs. w. II. Hulbush and A. Dol
an, county and city physicians. and
will be recommended for use if the
cost of equipping it is not prohibitive.
The buildings at 125 and 126 Com
mercial avenue have both been under
lease for hospital use for the last three
years, but since the influenza epidemic
Of 1919 the building at 126 has not been
in use. The lease on the other expires
in short time and u plan is being
worked out for transfer of the hospital
to No. 1928. This building, the board
discovered, can be more easily heated
and partitioned into wards and rooms
than the building now occupied.
Any arrangements now made for a
detention hospital will be effective
only until way is found to erect a
joint county and city building. Free
ton of such a building was urged upon
the health board last Monday by COM
mittee from the Cascade County Med
zeal society and opinions expressed by
county and city officials were favor
able to the proposal.
