ANOTHER CALL TO BARRE
To Help Clothe Babies and Young Chill
dren of Central Europe.

| Once more the national Red Cross
through the New England division
asks Barre for her assistance. This
time it is to help clothe the millions
of babies and young children in central
Europe, The call to America is for p
900 900 garments, which is only small
part Of what must be supplied from
other sources before the children are
even decently clothed. The quota which
has been apportioned to the New Eng
land division is 10000 garments and
I.2l,000 layettes. From this number.
Barre is asked to furnish 800 garments
and 50 layettes.
Most of the Barre churches are will
ing to assume the responsibility for a
certain number Of these. Graniteville
and Williamstown will probably also
assist, but there still remains work for
volunteers and if anyone feels that
they can furnish any of the mentioned
articles they will please call Mrs. N. d.
Phelps, tel. 81.
The various kinds Of garments need
ed are; For children one to five years
old, dresses, pctticoats. undershirts,
nightgowns; for girls five to IA years
old, dresses, chemises, petticoats under
shirts, nightgowns; for boys five to III
years old, blouse suits, underdrawers,
winter undershirts and nightshirts.
The layettes should contsin two
flannel dresses, two undershirts, two
pairs bootees, knitted, crocheted or
made from remnants of the flannel
drosa Ypa4or;af t,r, HaroaI h;nJars ~
inches wide by 2S inches long, two
swaddling blankets, six diapers with
IL safety pins, six of which should be
used to pin the outside of the wrapping
when prepared for shipment). A bag
may be made of any material, even of
several kinds of material .,>into which
the folded layette may be slipped A
strawstring holds it secure and then
the mother has something in which to
keep the. baby's clothes.
These garments can be made from
used wearing apparel of every descrip-
tion, remnants, odds and ends, bed
portieres, curtains anything
that ingenuity can convert into gar
ment
The Barre chapter asks every won.
m in the community. whether she has
ever helped in the Red Cross work or
not, to contribute her material and |
work if possible, for this great call.
A recent letter from division head
quarters has called Barre star chap |
.er because of its faithfulness in full |
illing obligations and the officers wish
% meet this quota completely and
promptly as heretofore. Everyone who
an should help as the situation of chill
len overseas is literally appalling, &C.
',rding to authentic information gath
red by the Red Cross and other relief
organizations.
Mrs, Phelps win answer all ques- :
ions regarding the work.

bled in most cases. It is Door
double, the danger being that B will
call a minor suit, in which game is
improbable. AS diamonds are not
strong enough to complete doubling
hand.
Those who were familiar with the
defence to the double redoubled.
Others, not knowing it, passed. When
the redouble was left in by B, A
proceeded to run for it by leading
his two top hearts. Then he shifted
to the club queen, which z won,
leading a small diamond through
the ace, marked in AS hand by his
double. This is one of the weak
nesses of the doubling game: it be-
trays the position of cards to be
finessed against.
When dummy leads the spade
seven, B probably saves a trick bv
covering it with the nine. z wins
with the jack and puts the diamond
through the ace again. "A wins. Now
what is he going to lead? To pre-
vent another trump lead he went
back with the diamond.
Now dummy leads two rounds of
hearts, B and z both discarding
clubs. B has to ruff the club and is
over-trumped by z, who leads out
his winners and gives B the last
trick of all with the spade queen. In
this way he makes three-odd on
redoubled contract to make one. This
costs A and B just 551 points.
When B thought it compulsory to
go no-trumps, z and A passed and Y
doubled. B had no more to say, and
A declined to take any chances of
going in deeper. z, knowing his
partner had something in all the
suits but spades, led the ten of
diamonds, which A passed, and the
queen held. A spade came back and
the jack held over the nine.
With sure reentry in clubs, z
held his spades and led another dia
mond. Again A passed and the
king won. AS E was marked with
the jack, small diamond estab-
lished the seven. Thinking to avoid
establishing two hearts, B led the
club queen from dummy.
This q won with the ace, made his
two spades, getting two heart dis
cards from Y, and then went back
with the club nine, which held. An
other club and Y made the ten and
king, the long diamond. and then
lost two heart tricks at the end,

found that they led down to ths
lake, or ford, as it is called in that
country.
Then they knew that the great
monster, Grendel, which had at one
time caused them great loss and
trouble, had returned to prey upon
them again. There was great sor-
row and mourning throughout the
country.
Many brave knights volunteered
to fight the monster and many of
them did, to their grief. No one
was strong enough, to conquer the
beast, and many lives were lost.
1t happened that a minstrel who
was staying in the country was
hidden in the hall one night when
the monster came. He escaped in
terror and fed to another country.
The King Of the country to which
he went was Hygelac, and this king
had nephew who was the strong
est and bravest man in the kingdom.
He was the hero Beowulf.
Many time Beowulf had showed
his great strength. One thing for
which he was famous was swim

numbers of sea monsters attacked
him. He fought them off and con-
quered them. At length, when the
storm quieted, he swan back to his
uncle's kingdom, and as reward for
his bravery Hygelac gave him Won
derful sword.
When the minstrel told the stories
of Grendel Beowulf listened with
great interest. To rid Hrothgar's

The barber began to examine a
place on the top Of Reeds head and
thought he had found there con-
versational topic that would interest
his customer.

ventured to volunteer: "Yo' haih'ud

For the first time since he had

shields of finest make-and gold and
jewels were also part of the e<strange
cargo.
The people took the coming of
this baby to their country as a sign.
They were really tired of fighting
and quarreling. There on the shore
they proclaimed the boy, who was
Skiold, their king.
He lived for many years. In bat
tie with other countries he was al
ways successful and his people be-
came strong as a nation. Finally.
when he was getting old. he called
his ministers to him and told them
that he could not stay with them
much longer. He ordered that a.
splendid boat be made ready. lavish
ly furnished. When it was ready he
said goodby to his people and,
climbing in alone, began to sail out
to sea. AS the people watched the
boat seemed to disappear in a kind
of mist, and they saw golden sheaf
of wheat appear in its place. Then
all was gone.
But Skiold left son who became
king. And this Hrothgar of whom
I started to tell you was one of his
grandsons.
Hrothgar was a mighty leader.
He won great battles for his coun-
try and laid up great treasure for
the kingdom. As he became older
he decided that he would build
wonderful hall, where the mobiles
could meet and the people could
come for justice.
For days and weeks and months
the building of this hall went on.
When it was opened the King gave
a great banquet. All the knights
in the kingdom came, and for hours
there was merrymaking.
Late at night, when the banquet
was over, the King left thirty-two
of his bravest warriors to guard the
great hall. They went to sleep in
their armor in the big room where
the feasting had been, and all the
doors were bolted and barred.
