Allen Urges Characteristic Kansas
Response to china's S. O. S.
An appeal for contributions In
cash or grain for the famine strick-
en- people Of Northern China, Is
made in a proclamation issued to
Kansas people by Gov. II. j. Alien.
He uuotes an authoritative state
ment on conditions in China, stating
that despite all that possibly can be
done by America, 100000 Chin
csc will die of starvation this win
ter. :,
DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon, well
known author and preacher, and edi'
tor of the Christian Herald, who Is a
member of "the committee Of 13O'
which is endeavoring to raise $2OO,'
100000 for the starving Chinese
stated that proclamations similar to
that of Governor Allen have been Is
sued by governors of number OF
states, including Colorado, Minneso-
ia and Ohio.
Governor Allen says:
1.-THE story Of the famine In North
ern China grows as the details OF the
horror become better known. 1t Is
stark fact that 5O,OOO,000 Chinese
farmers, reduced through successive
droughts to actual starvation, will die
unless they are given relief. A re-
cent statement from expert testi-
mony is that with the best we can do
100000 will die.
1.-THE situation in China presents
an urgent appeal to the people OF this
prosperous state who have always
been responsible to every call OF
actual human suffering. l ask, there
fore, a liberal response to this dis
tant but appealing cry for help.
CDR. Charles M. Sheldon who
has charge Of the work in this state
believes 1t would be possible to send
to China from Kansas several train
loads of corn and wheat. Contribu-
lions in money may be sent to the
treasurer, Vernon Munroe, Bible
House, New York City"

One OF the Quaintest innovations Of
the recent heat wave In London was
the introduction Of s%unshades for
dogs. These consisted of light crepe
DECLINE projections suspended over
the animals necks by light wire
strands.
The 'lucky" animals whose masters
or mistresses bought the sunshades
did not seem so pleased with them as
perhaps the donors had hoped, re-
marked London Answers.
One dog found the heat 70 oppres-
sive that he sought the shelter Of a
railway tunnel on the Highbury tube.
Here he was, however, so frightened
by the continual passing Of trains
that he shrank into u dark corner and
remained there for two days, until
his master, on the Information OF a
railway man. fetched him.
Although sunshades for dogs made
their first appearance, there was a
strange absence of the straw hats
that horses used to wear before the
war. Have horses been so hardened

this pastry is that everything used
should be cold the only exception is
the warm water used in softening the
yeast. Next in importance is that the
ligntness and delicacy of the finished
product are produced by the rolling
and folding in of the butter as in puff
paste making.
Take N pint of milk, three eggs,
one-half pound of butter, one yeast
cake, one cupful of sugar, n and one
half teaspoonfuls of salt, the grated
rind of a lemon, a pinch of mace and
-four to make a stiff dough-about nine
cupfuls. Divide the butter in two
parts after washing out all the salt
and working it thoroughly with a
wooden spoon that has been scalded,
then cooled. Wrap the butter in a
cloth to absorb all moisture, divide and
place on Ice. Sift three cupfuls of the
-four with the salt and mace. Soften
the yeast in one-fourth of a cupful of
warm water. Rub half of the butter
into the -four or cut IL in with w
knives until the mixture is like coarse
meal. Beat the eggs until stiff. and
stir them with the sugar, milk, lem
on peel and yeast into the flour. Beat
very hard, adding more flour gradually
| until the mixture becomes too stiff to
handle with Il spoon. Turn the dough
on n we~ll-foured board and knead Wig
Orously for ten minutes. Then turn
the dough into a bowl, cover with a
cloth and place in the ice chest for If
teen minutes. Now roll the dough in
long strips half an inch thick, bring
out the butter and spread on the low
or half of the sheet of dough bring the
other half down over il. Fold the
ends, one over and the other under the
center, making n compact square with
the butter inside. Tap the dough
slightly and roll again into a long mar
row strip. Then fold again as be-
fore. Now turn the block of dough
halfway round. roll and fold C
more, then tuck away into a cold bowl
and set in the Ice chest.
