RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent 100000 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers In China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions of acute
inces Of Northern China, where mil
lions Of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage OF food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than 81 200, 900.
$1,0OO,000 Of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested In the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t Is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "A,
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross In It's opera
lions In China was particularly effec-
tive. for In addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands Of lives It provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence OF famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents. this
food being brought In from Manchuria
and elsewhere.

MISS OKELL TO GIVE
LECTURE-RECTAL

Miss Adelaide Okell, of the piano
department Of Wesley College Con-
servatory of Music, will give a lee
ture-recital of Wagner's famous opera,
ruary is. The recital will be given
in Corwin hall under the auspices of
Alpha Sigma 1ota, the musical sor-
GRITTY Of the college. Mrs. Fl. Alden
Enyeart, soprano, will sing " solos
from the opera.
The lecture-recital will be given to
raise funds for the Edward MacDow-
ell association, which has founded the
Peterboroush Colony at Peterborough,
Mcdowell, the most famous compos-
or America has given the world,
dreamed Of a colony at Peterborough,
where musicians, painters, writer's,
sculptors and other creative artists
could gather to do their work. "far
from the madding crowd" and in an
environment that was conducive to
fine work.
The colony has been established.
farm land and forest. we'll equipped
farm buildings, four dwelling houses
and fifteen studios. 1t owns in ad-
|dition:
A fine permanent outdoor theatre
for occasional festivals Of American
music and drama. The stone and
concrete seats of this theatre are a
recent gift from the National Fede-
ration of Musical Clubs.
The John w. Alexander Memorial
Building for small exhibitions of
American painting and sculpture.
Valuable collections of scores and
costumes.
The Cora Daw Library Of some
three thousand volumes. =
- Artists have already found the colo.
ny a splendid retreat. There they
can go and work unmolested and free
from the worries of preparing meals,
cleaning homes and away from the
noises and Interruptions of everyday
life.
Mrs. Edward Mcdowell has work.
ed for many months to make the
Peterborough colony a success. She
has given Of her time and money, but
it has been found necessary to ask the
musical sororities and other musical
organizations of the country to assist
in raising funds. Alpha Sigma 1ota
has been given its quota. and mem
bers Of the sorority asked Miss Okell
to give a lecture-recital to raise the
money.
Remembering the success Of Miss
Okell's recital of Wagner's L%ohengrin,
they asked her to give another Wag-
ner lecture-recital., She chose Tam
hauser. one Of the most famous and
best liked operas in the literature of
grand opera.
Miss Okell knows Wagner thor
oughly. She knows how to interpret
him, too. and that is what makes her
lecture-recitals SO popular.
Miss Okell vas a personal friend
Of MacDowell's. She is a friend OF
Mrs. Mcdowell, and has assisted in
the work Of making the Peterborough
colony a success. She was a pupil Of
the late Nine. Carreno, as was Mac
powell.
With ths background, there can be
no doubt that Miss Okell's recital
picture Of Tannhauser will be one of
the treats of the musical season.

nEDDY BAT Will NOT DO THE KINGS BIDDING.
buC arlvsle H., holcomb

Tinker Bob and Lady Duck had
done all they could for Mr.. Alligator
and his tribe to teach them how
with other Forest Creatures. Tinker
tried to get Mr.. Alligator to under
stand that 1t was not the part of a
gentleman Alligator to act SO ter
rible toward Mr.: Bat and his tribe.
But this seemed very hard for Mr..
Alligator to comprehend. e
At last Tinker said: "Wcll. Mr..
Alligator, you could do this Bat and
his tribe no harm anyway. You
You don't believe it. but / will show
you" W
tinker called Reddy the Bat to
him and said: "Reddy, 1 want to
show Mr.. Alligator that he can't
kill you II he wants to. Now you must
do the very things 1 tell you to do
and o will not be harmed in the
least. I am the King Of the Forest
and I know what to do"
Reddy Bat listened. with one ear
first and then with the other. Said
ne: "Oh. King OF the Forest, what
do you want me to do?" IL
This is what I want you to do.
said Tinker Bob. ."I want you to
walk boldly into the mouth Of Mt.
Alligator and walk out again.
"Oh. King of the Forest, o want
me to be DESTROYED forever. II I
ever walked into the mouth Of that
fellow I would never come out alive,
and no n would eve know what
became Of me. Oh King. the mouth
Of that creature is so large that I
would get lost trying to find my
way out, and then he would shut his
mouth and I would never see you
nor n Of my friends any more. Why
do you ask me to do that. oh King"
Freddy Bat, don't you know that
as I had power to take the teeth
out of the mouth Of this great crea-
ture. I could keep you safe in his
mouth without harm? You are not
a fellow to be afraid"
II know. oh King, you are o Won
derful fellow, but that is too much to
ask of a poor fellow like me who
knows what A1ligators like. best"
"All right. Reddy," said Tinker,

TIE FEAST
OF LIGHTS

~ HE lights on the tree are said to
VI be of Jewish origin. In the
month Of kisley, of the Jewish
year, corresponding nearly to our De-
cember, and the twenty-ffth day, Jews
celebrated the feast of dedication of
their temple. 1t had been dedicated on
that day by Antiochus. 1t was dedicated
by Judas Maccabeus, and, according TO
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was found
in the temple to last for the seven
branched candlestick for eight days,
and it would have taken eight days to
prepare new oil. Accordingly the Jews
were won't on the twenty-tfth day OF
;Kislev in every house to light can
die, on the next day two, and on the
the eighth and last day of the feast,
eight candles twinkled in every house.
1t is not very easy TO fix the eX-
act date of the Nativity, but it fell
most probably on the last day OF kis-
lev, when every Jewish house in Beth
lehem and Jerusalem was twinkling
with lights. 1t is worthy Of note that
the German name for Christmas Is
Welhnacht (the night OF dedication)
as though it were associated with this
feast. The Greeks also call Christ
mas the feast of lights, the name
given to the dedication festival, Chan
ukah, by the Jews.

WHY THE CHRISTMAS KISSES?
Oscillation, Allowed by Custom, Ceie-
brates One Of Most Charming
Events i'm Tradition.
11f ny should men kiss girls who
VW1 stand under mistletoe?

1I11 NY should men kiss girls who
VV1 stand under mistletOe?
Because they like 1t and be-
cause custom allows it. Every kiss
under the mistletoe, however, is kiss
which celebrates one of the most
charming events in Christmas tradi-
ton.
The romance goes back TO the days
OF the gods of Scandinavia, when Bal
dur the Beautiful was shot by Locke,
the Spirit Of Evil, with an arrow Of
mistletoe But his mother, Venus OF
the North. restored him to life by sa-
lutng With kisses all who passed be-
meath branch held aloft in her hand.
Thus it became an emblem of love
and happy celebration. Ancient races
held the plant in great veneration, par
ticularly the Druids, who went in pro
cession into the forests to collect it.
After New Years day 1t was dis
tributed among the people as q sacred
and holy plant. If any part of the
miStletoe touched the ground it was
regarded as an omen of impending
| evil.
