RED CROSS MEETING

In srite of the rain and poor roads
the River Falls chapter had eleven
delegates out of twelve who attended
the County Red Cross meeting in
Ellsworth last Friday afternoon.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of transferring the Red Cross
headquarters from River Falls to
Ellsworth where more advantageous
location could be given to the office
in the Court House. One member
from Ellsworth attended the meeting,
and there was not quorum present.
Nevertheless the River Falls dele
cation outlined the plan of action and
a meeting of Ellsworth members was
held in the evening and the reorgani-
cation was perfected.

FRENCH CITY IN THE DESERT
Little Township Of lshmaiIa Has Been
Made Place Where Beauty Abides
Beside DesoIation.

Sir fan Malcolm, British govern
ment representative on the Suez canal
board, gives charming description OF
the luxurious little township OF Ish-
malta, which is the headquarters OF
the company. The executive OF the
undertaking Is practically entirely
French. and therefore it is not surpris-
ing to learn that behind broad belt
of tall trees and waving palms one
finds a town that is purely French in
atmosphere and management.
Here is the residence, where l am
now staying with NJ. Jonnart, the presi-
dent; buildings, schools, shops, are all
French, in fact you feel that you are
living in smart French seaside resort,
where roses, violets and Strawberries
abound throughout the year, but If you
20 a mile In any direction from the
lake you come to the end OF civiliza-
tion and are faced by the desert"
This lake, the Large Bitter lake, is
more than ten miles long, and was at
one time part of the Red sea, but for
centuries it has been dried up and had
become part of the desert. Across
this depression the canal was dug, the
sides and bottom were prepared, and
when all was ready the waters Of the
Mediterranean were allowed to flow
in. 1t took four months to fill this an
Gent bed of the Red sea.-Christiar

MUSEUM GETS RARE RUGS
Once Used to Wrap Around Pillars in
the Orient, They Are Now
in Philadelphia.

Six Mongol pillar rugs, recently pur-
chased by the Pennsylvania museum,
have been hung in the Memorial hall,
Paramount park, in the north corridor;
one pair at the entrance to the VIII
stach gallery, one pair at the entrance
to the Silver room and the third pair
at the entrance of the section devoted
to musical instruments. These rugs
were once bound about the wooden
pillars of Mongol lamaseries or
temples, and in several of the mu-
scum examples the wooden lashings
which bound them are still there. Pos
sibly textile decoration for pillars fol-
lowed carving, which would account
for persistence of design, as these rugs
could have been intended for no other
purpose. In one pair, at least, the de-
sign becomes meaningless when spread
fiat, for the dragons which coil about
the pillar appear cut off in three sep
arate pieces, which meet exactly when
the edges are joined.
TIE Chinese Huen Tsang, travelling
" luuld III lue uISI HILL VI liz
Seventh century, says that the paw
lions of the monastery of Nelanda
were upborne by pillars ornamented
with dragons. The burial chambers of
the kings, with their antechambers,
have been uncovered from the mounds
of earth which were heaped about
them, and on the stone walls are fresco
paintings. The doorway from the outer
to the inner chamber of one of these
royal tombs is flanked on either side
by an ectagonal column on which are
painted coiled dragons, no doubt in
Renaissance of earlier carved up
rights. The next step, for particularly
nomad people, was to render the same
design for a similar purpose in textile
fabric to be dashed to the post.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Girl Has Real Grievance.

Goats with an appetite that permit
them to relish leather pocketbooks
and shoe laces may be ordinary, but
a goat with sense of humor should
be annihilated. This was the opinion
offered to the Venice (Cal.) police one
afternoon by young woman, visiting
in Del Rey from Ohio, when she APP
pealed at police headquarters for help
in finding the owner of billy" that
she caught chewing her purse. She
laid the pocketboolS on the bank of a
canal with her shoes and stockings
while she padded her feet in the wa

Removing Moss From Canals.

When moss grows in canals, it soon
causes trouble. Yet how to remove it?
George e. Stratton of the United
States reclamation service offers sew
eral suggestions. If there is plenty of
time. the canal can be dried out; the
sun will kill the messy growth. When
the moss is stiff, submarine saws will
cut 1t.
Dragging the bottoia with harrow
is sometimes resorted to, but a chain
is more effective. Thirty-five miles of
canal were dragged with a chain at a
cost OF 50 a mile.-Popular Science
Monthly.

Making the Most of Vacation
by FREDERICK A. HATCH

Some of our readers have planned
planning for vacation. 1t means change.
vacating the usual procedure in living. In this
part of the country it largely means more OF
the out-of doors experience. 1t can be change
of occupation, and often that serves a good
purpose, but to many 1T is a getting out from
under the continual responsibilities abldlug IN
the home life. II might be vacation Just to
do the same swork do at home. but IN a dlf-
ferent environment and with different people
For thoughtful folks, lust to he IN company
with our mountains and canons and g'ens IS
sufficient change to make the rest OF the
wears daily toll enjoyable. But, too many
can be happy only with the crowd Vacation
is test whether be good company with
ourselves
Wise people consider the hygenie conditions
Of the place where they vacate Water
drainage. food and quiet, essential to health
and enjoyment 1t would be real vacation TO
a few lust he where they had no disposition
to malicious and petty gossip. Just to forget
self is a remarkable change in the usual habit
of mind of of To fuss in the noun

own kitchen. To he either 'naggcr' or 90 nag

roding as to be in Pueblo. Mostly we
cerry our environment of mind with us That
can he changed for time If we but drink IN
the wonder and beauty of wider spaces.
But no vacation is truly restful IT we leave
God out of our experience. The Maker OF all
beauty; the Inspirer of true JOY. and tho
Helper to peace Of mind, must find open doors
and windows TO our souls if to get the
best from our life in the open Too many
church people never cross the door step of
church when they leave town until they return
Some never thank God for their privilege or
ever give help to the church in the SMALL
town they spend weeks in. IF vacation does
not mean larger sous when come home, 1T

Cod. We cannot return to the usual with quito
the same hearts we took away with us.
