CHILDREN
SHOWN IN DRAWINGS

Children and juniors will be de
lighted, we feel sure, with the
exhibition of pictures now hanging
in the west room of the Public Art
gallery The drawings were made
by Alice Milo Upiohn, and real
children in Albania, France, Italy,
Greece. Montenegro, Roumania and
Serbia, posed for them. Miss Up
john was interested in the Red
Cross relief work in those coun.
tries, especially that among the
children.
The drawings are interesting as
art work, as descriptive OF the
dress and habits of the people in
those countries, and are so clearly
representing real live children.
There are pictures of children
with their bowls and spoons, look
ing much as they probably do
when they go to get their food in
the Red Cross feeding stations.
There is one of boy with a goat,
OF boy and a gaily capped
rooster, of a girl with her ducks,
and one watching the sheep, and
knitting as she wanders with them,
There is one of boy, too, watch
ing his sheep and gazing at the
stars so earnestly, it makes US
think of the story of the shepherds
and the first Christmas night.
Boys selling fruit at stands, or car
rying baskets, and children going
to school-all these help us to see
clearly what kind of work these
children do.
We see them, too, with their mu-
sic, taking care of the younger
and listening eagerly
while an old man, perhaps an old
soldier, tells them stories.
The gaily colored native cos
tunes are seen, and a few shore
and street scenes, showing us a
few glimpses of the appearance of
these countries. One of these pic
lures a child, and goat packed in
saddle bags, for more convenient
But we could go on at great
length. We will just say that
whether in color or in black-and-
white, whether large or small, each
and every one of these pictures is
and worth intent study,
on the part OF children,
and juniors who are interested in
hese junior friends who live a
lop, skip $50 to speak) across the
ocean, and run and jump across
/ continent away from them, and
n whom they have become inter
,sted through the Junior Red Cross
We are fortunate to have these
pictures which just arrived Wed
lesday from the John Heron Art
institute in Indianapolis, and be
ore that, from the Corcoran Art
,allery in Washington, d. C., where
5000 children saw them.
The exhibit will be shown until
20, and all children and
unioTs from the fourth grade up
Yards will have a chance TO visit
he exhibit.

PRESENTS MADE IN
WOODWORK CLASSES

When Christmas time is draw
ing near, interest in work done in
the vocational or hand work de
partments, becomes greater than
usual. That which is being made
is to be somebody's present, and,
therefore, it must be finished in
time.
Boys in the fifth and sixth
grades OF Joseph Moore, who take
their hand work with Miss Bull,
are now making many things of
tin, from all sizes and shapes Of
tin cans. This work includes the
cutting, shaping. soldering, design
ing and painting Of tin. Many diff
ferent kinds of things are now
being completed. There are pin
trays, and weather vanes that
whirl around in the wind, trays
with handles, biscuit and cookie
cutters, vases, salt and pepper
holders, sugar scoops and candle
holders.
Make What They Prefer
Members Of these classes may
ChoOSS WHAT hlHu Oh WOTh lD6y
wish to do, from the different
lines taught, and what they prefer
to make in that line. They may
make toys of wood, or automobiles,
or presents from tin cans, just as
they like best.
Some Of the boys in these classes
like to try making new things. /
Charles Rogers, of Baxter school, |
shaped his cookie cutter like a |
Christmas tree. Maurice Murray, |
of Baxter, made toy automobile.
Russell Richardson, of the Joseph I
Moore school, made a very credit
able steam roller and the boys of |
SeVastopol made a very successful
toy automobile. We have named !
a few of the more unusual things
at random, but all the work is
varied and engrossing.
We believe many families will
be glad Christmas morning that at
least one of their number is in the
wood work or metal classes.

1t Was Big Undertaking. But A Winner-And
The Fans Liked It

NEW YORK, Jan. IS. - The
American committee for Devastated
France today announced it had
realized $4,000 from its manage
ment of the boxing bout last night
in which Benny Leonard, light
weight champion, scored technical
knockout over Richie Mitchell in the
sixth round. The gate receipts
amounted to $150,O00. Fans were
still discussing the bout today, which
all experts declared one Of the great
est encounters in a decade.
In. the opening round Leonard
knocked his opponent down three
times and injured Riches right eye
so badly that it was. useless to the
game Western lad during the re-
mainder of the bout. However, to-
ward the end of the initial round
Richie surprised the champion and,
in fact, the entire house, by hook
ING a terrific left to Leonard's jaw,
which sent the champion down on
his back. Leonard arose slowly and,
remaining on one knee, waved his
hand to his manager and second, and
indicating that his head was clear
and that he was uninjured.
From this to the beginning Of the
sixth round Leonard had the advan-
tage in every session, but many
close observers believed that if Leon
ard had not virtually blinded Rich
ie's eye in the opening round, the
Milwaukee lad would have given
him the fight of his career.
In the sixth round, Richie came up
as game as a pebble and tried his
best to land a solid blow, but Leon.
ards blocking and foot work were
almost perfect in defense. Leonard $
attack in this round was ferse and
he simply battered his opponent off
his feet. He sent Richie to the
floor three times and was ready to
put over finishing punch when Ref
cree Haukop intervened and saved
Mitchell from further punishment.
Leonard defended his lightweight
title against Mitchell, of Milwaukee.
The purse of 100000 was split 40
to Bennah-and 20 to Richie.
What was left over was to go 70
the fund for the devastated IN
France, 5000 miles away.

the charity fund and a daughter Of
thelate J. P. Morgan, supplied the
big idea.
1t was the first time a member Of
the gentler sex ever got into the
big league game of backing cham
pionship match in the times Of high
finance.
This woman accomplished what
Tex Rickard, fight promoter, couldn't
do himself-namely, getting Leonard
and Mitchell together. He tried by
personal interview. Stacks of letter
and wire correspondence have been
interchanged in futile dickering. He
even Had Bill Gibson issue his chal-
lenge to the Milwaukeean by long
distance telephone to no avail. The
match was a hang-fre thing and look
cd like it might drift over into Jer-
sey.
When the proposition to have the
boys fight over the ffteen-round
route to a decision for the cause of
charity was stuck under Richards
eyes. he fell for it.
Miss Morgan assumed = PROPOSE
, tion that would stagger a lot of the
fellows in the promoting game But
the cause she was backing was true
blue and there was a method in her
madness.
Tickets for box seats were sold
by auction at one Of the big hotels.
Some of those pasteboards brought
in the large-fgurc money. Charity
and boxing were linked together in
this.
Even if the helping-hand idea
was not mixed up the show of Leon
ard and Mitchell would have called
in plenty of customers.
Ric6ard showed he was a regular
fellow by donating his gold garden
for the gihcw. Also he aided in
making the card an interesting one
by supplying the warm-up bouts.
Associated with Miss Morgan were
Colonel Arthur Woods, former police
commissioner of New York; Louis
Stoddard, famous polo player, and
Otto B. Shulhof. The latttr is a
great friend and admirer of the

PERET FAILS TO
FORM CABINET

PARIS, Jan. 15.-(By Associated
Press,) - Former Premier BRAND.
agreed this evening to attempt the
formation of a cabinet in succession
to the Leygues ministry, which re-
signed Wednesday.
Raoul Peret appeared before Pres
ident Millerand today and declined
to form q cabinet, as he had been
requested.
Figaro, which presents a certain
body Of opinion, asserted today that
the only reasonable solution of the
crisis was the choice of NJ Poincare
as premier, who would direct the
policy of France as a whole, with a
foreign minister of his own selec-
tion.
"If such a solution is not accepted
now" the paper declared, 1T will
have to be in three months time.
Therefore, why not save time at a
moment when so many urgent ques-
tions demand attention?"

1t is announced by Walter Ry-
lander, builder and manager for the
stage attractions to appear at the
new $15O,000 Rylander theater, that
matinee next Saturday afternoon,
January %, has been added to the
schedule for "Lightnin' - the play
which will open the theater with an
engagement of two days, making a
total of three performances of this
great play to be seen here. The ad-
dition of the matinee was made es-
pecially for the accommodation of
play lovers from surrounding towns
and rural districts, who will thus be
able to see this great play in this
wonderful new playhouse and return
home early the same evening.
1t was announced yesterday that
the seats for the opening perform
ance, which will be very much of a
society affair, had been practically
sold out. and that those for the sec
ond night were half gone. This in
dicated a complete selling out for
these two performances. The de-
mand for matinee seats from the
surrounding territory is expected to
be heavy by Monday, announcements
of the matinee having just been
made outside of Americus. The
success of the seat sale for the first
night of "Lightnin' may be judged
from the statement that only the
unsold reservations on the first floor
remaining are the front and back
rows and one box. Upstairs only
two or three boxes and two or three
rows of chairs remain to be had.
1t was announced yesterday that
a brilliant ball will be put on at the

BRITAIN SPLIT
CVER BATTLESHIPS.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Great Britain
IS divided JVer the question Of bat
tIeshipG or no battleships. 1
The admiralty favors more dread
naughts. But in parliament and other
quarters voices are raised against
dreadnaughts and in favor of ex-
penditure instead for airplanes, and
submarines.
The airplane and the submarine
have revolutionized war" says Sir
Percy Scott, creator of modern ma
val gunnery.
" II neither we nor the Germans
had had aIy battleships during the
war it would not have made any diff
ference. If it is said that battle
ships can now be built which will
defy the torpedo, ask: Does not the
projectile always beat the defensey
Can any ship be designed which
can stand the explosion of half q
ton of T. N T. with delayed action
fuse in the head of strongly-built
torpedo?
Other powers may be building
battleships. They may also be MAX
ing mistake in SO doing.
IF we are going to build battle
ships we shall have to build nurses
for them in the shape of destroyers
and we shall have to build safe har-
bors in which to keep Them. Il.
Admiral W. H. Henderson says,
81 think the battleship is dying, but
is not yet dead. She has to be treat
cd with extraordinary care. A pro
portion of four destroyers to each
battleship IS considered the mini.

Lord Sydenham, naval authority
says: "We cannot yet abandon the

ment of force, though at Jutland q
powerful British battle feet failed
to destroy a much weaker German

Opportunities Of
Work for Women
In Public Service

The story of the week reveals new
opportunities opened to women in
public service. They nave completed
their cycle of voting through partici-
patton in the old and cherished in
stitution, the New England Town
Meeting.
They voted, their voices were raised
from h floor in-public debate and
they. were. at some point in the Com
fees in the gift of the town.
Now the curious political observer
may study in action the efficiency of
women as local public servants. IL he
will only seek out the particular town
which has bestowed Office upon a
woman. A partial list shows the fol-
lowing elections; Helen N. Cook,
Hyde. auditor. Huntingdon: Eliza B.
Stone. town treasurer. Aver; Cora
Lowell, town clerk. Hinsdale; Edith
Tabens. overseer ~of the poor, Mar
blehead; Avis Churchill. constable,
Charlemont; Rose Blair, park COM
missioner, Northboro.
Other positions to which women
We're elected are boards of health.
public library trustees and school
committee members.
Generations of women have sat in
the galleries overlooking and listen
ing to men arguing the interests OF
the town; from gallery to Office in one
step is a ~momentuous change.
Another indication tina the world
does move is found in Boston where
two women have just been appointed
assistant registrars and have begun
their duties in the city election de-
partment. They are Helen ]. Fitz-
gerald and Kathleen G.. Ennis and the
salary of each is $500 a year.
