IN BEHALF OF EUROPE's
SUFFERING CHILDREN.

Mrs. Francis L. Cook, OF Meridian,
Is active in the campaign for funds to
relieve the destitute children In the
war zone, and contributes this poem
to the Times:
Can you help that sad faced mother
With eyes so dimmed with tears?
AS she sits thro' those anxious mo-
ments
That have numbered now into yrs.
Can you picture the marks on her
forehead
And her cheeks so pale and thin
AS she weeps beside those hungry
white faces
And prays from her soul within2
All, she sees those upturned faces
AS they gaze with broken heart
into her very soul and feelings
TO realize they soon must part.
Listen the waves are telling the story
Far out on the moaning sea
VI the ones that are pleading in an
guish
And are looking toward you and me.
Send of your bounteous blessing
That you have laid up in store
Then your Master will give you the
harvest
That will reach from shore to shore
And you'll hear His welcome applaud
ing
Well done thou child of mine,
Because thou hast been mindful of
these
My love, my all, shall be thine.

Ballard-F Pagan Concert

Probably number OF people who
attended the recital given last Friday
night by Sibyl Sanderson Fagan and
George Wilton Ballard at City Audi
torium were at first puzzled and dis
appointed when they discovered n
center of the stage.
They hardly were reassured when
Willard Osborne appeared on the
stage and announced that Miss Pagan
had been delayed and. rather than
disappointment the audience. RE-

all their beauty. Suddenly we heard
tho same whistling coming from he
hind the scenes. Miss Fagan had
arrived and was whistling in unison
with her RE- CREATED self. She con-
tinued whistling while walking toward
the New Edison. The effect of two
whistling solos. of the same exquisite
quality, coming from two different
places, was indeed a new sensa ton and
brought all under its magic spell. Miss
fagan reached tho side of the New
Edison and, during the remainder of
the solo, paused from time to time. ap-
parently at random, and permitted her
RF-CREATED performance to be
heard alone This gave an opportunity
to compare one with the other. and IT
Is no more than Just to state that there
was not the slightest shade OF differ
ence between RE-CREATED perform
ance and original performance.
In the course OF the evening similar
tests were made by George Wilton
Ballard. Baritone. and Willard Os-
borne. Niolinist. with the same miracu-
lous result. There must have been
slight difference In volume when the
artists stopped singing or playing, but
II was not noticeable. for the tone

vibrant. pulsatinE quality of that which
came directly from Mr.. Billiards.

one could he sure when they sang or
played and when they did not.
This proof was convincing. If 1t were
not, another proof was offered. After
Mr.. Ballard had commenced to sing
one number, the lights were turned out
-ostensibly so that the audience could
not watch the singers lips.
1t did not seem difficult to deter
