Thousands of Garments
for European Relief.

More than $4,000 garments and 12,-
900 layettes have been shipped this
year or are in process of production
as part of chapter enthusiastically
pledged from Central Division head
quarters in Chicago. This work OF
volunteer among the $50 chapters IS
supplying more than the average chap
ter quota for distribution among the
Ghildren in Eastern and Central Eu-
rope.
Despite the local need which exists
in many communities in the states of
the Central Divi ion field constantly
increasing desire to assist the children
who are suffering so desperately in
Europe is shown When no other
agency exists to care for local needs
the Red Cross chapter is helping COM
munties to adequately meet conditions
caused by unemployment or crop fail
ures and in addition is helping in this
necessary overseas relief.

Xmas Cheer Work of
The Salvation Army.

Chicago, December 24.-More than
a quarter of a million dollars is to be
spent by the Salvation Army in fiji
teen states, known as the Central
Territory, to provide Christmas din
ner baskets for the poor, according to
an advance estimate made today at
the Territorial headquarters here by
Commissioner William Peart.
The estimate is based on advance
reports from ten cities near Chicago
and does not include the money to be
spent for candy, toys, fuel and cloth
ing, the total of which will probably
exceed that to be spent for the bas-
kets. 1t is estimated that the total
expenditure of the organization for all
usual Christmas purposes will run
very close to the million dollar mark.
Towns making advance reports were
Ottawa, Streator, Rockford, Joliet,
Aurora, Belvidere East Chicago, Ham,
mond, Mishawaka and Gary. Saliva
ton Army officers in these places es-
innate total of 800 Christmas din
ner baskets at an approximate average
cost of $500 each.
303 Army Corps.
The Central Territory comprises

303 Salvation Army Corps, located in
Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Minnesota. South Da-
kota, Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana.
Each Of these corps will be the center
for basket distribution and will provide
a grand total of not less than 10000
baskets, each of which will contain a
Christmas dinner for not less than
five persons.
In addition to these, the 10 Mems
Industrial Homes in the territory will
provide Christmas dinners for ap-
proximately $500 unfortunate men
who find shelter and the means of sus-
tenance beneath their hospital roofs.
Nine Rescue and Maternity Homes,
affording refuge to some $50 unmar-
ried mothers and hayward girls will
expend a considerable sum for Christ

homes and for thousands Of "Outside
Girls" who have passed through the
institutions to self respect and self
support on the outside.

erative, and they will therefore have
many unsatisfed desires. People
who, on the other hand, are proud of
their work and regard all useful work
as ennobling will have lower cost of
living in both particulars. Again, any
occupation is certain to have some
disagreeable aspects. People who al
low their minds to dwell continually
on the disagreeable and never on the
agreeable things will find that life
costs them more than it costs those
who habitually think Of the more
agreeable side Of their work. Writer'S,
poets and artists who help workers to
see and to appreciate the more agree
able side of work are powerful aids in
reducing the ultimate cost of living;
those who habitually harp on the dis
agreeable side and use their powers of
expression to make workers sorry for
themselves are adding to the COST

MacNider is tall and erect in sta
ture and in his large gray eyes you
see his inheritance of canniness from
his Scotch ancestry on his fathers
side, but it is softened by the humor
of the Irish from his mothers an
cestral line. He is so years old, but
still has youthful, almost boyish look
about him despite the thinness of his
wavy brown hair, parted on the right.
Close friends of Commander Mac
Nider call him "Jack." He is unmar-
ried. He says his only sweetheart is
his mother. Ten minutes after his
election as commander-in-chief of the
American Legion, he was keeping the
telephone wires busy from Kansas
City to Mason City, Iowa, telling her
all about it." Such is the man the
one million members of the legion
have chosen as their leader.

Goes to Prison
for Buddy.

A story of personal sacrifice, unique
in annals of the World war, is that
of Harry w. Haley, who served in
Leavenworth prison to repay a war
time buddy for his life. Haley has
written the American Legion the first
account of his action.
Wounded and left in no mans land,
Haley, a Canadian soldier, was slowly
dying from loss of blood when he was
picked up by Private Thomas G. Jones,
an American. After taking his buddy
to safety, Jones disappeared. Back in
the lines again, Haley was captured by
the Germans and lost all trace of his
rescuer.
On May 20, 1921, Haley arrived at
the home of his sweetheart in Canada.
His wedding was to occur at o'clock
and the guests were assembled.
Then Private Jones reappeared. He
had deserted the army at Fort Slocum,
N. Y, because, he said, they were 60
ing to send him back to Germany. He
was suffering from mustard gas burns
and had a wife and two children de-
pendent upon him.
Haley acted quickly. Telling Jones
to return to his wife and keep quiet,
he informed his fancee Of his inten-
ton. She declined to wait while he
served the term Jones would have to
spend in prison. At the hour of the
wedding Haley took a train for ST..
Paul, MINI. He gave himself to the
first police officer he encountered, de-
claring he was Private Thomas G..
Jones, wanted for desertion.
Tried by court-martial at Fort
Crook, Neb., Haley was sentenced to
dishonorable discharge and six months
in prison. He had served all but Is
days of his sentence when authorities,
by checking fngerprints and identifi-
cation learned Of the substitution.
The Legion is petitioning President
Harding to purge the dishonorable dis
charge from Haley's record.

MacNider, "A
Regular Guy.

John F. Brady in the Boston Post.
I'll say she's there forty ways from
the middle"
In ten years of character analysing
[ have not met young man who i'm
pressed me more profoundly as being
the type that the times demand.
You're going to hear of this man
MacNider playing big part in the
affairs of the nation one of these days
if the Lord spares him, or I'm no pro-
phet. But you don't have to take my
word for it alone. There are others
who met him at Milton and Harvard
plenty of them right here in Boston
who know him best, and they say the
same thing more emphatically than I
have.
They'll tell you he's "go-getter,"
that he got everything he ever went
after, except a wife. They'll tell you
he's "self-starter" as we'll as Ego
getter."
"Jack" MacNider is the most decor
ated man in America with the lone ex-
ception of Gen. Pershing, but rarely
wears the medals he owns.
And right here I must say that you
have to be ego getter" to get him to
talk about himself. About the only
story his most intimate friends have
been able to pry out of him is of the
heroism of his aide-an 18-year-old
boy.
AS the youngster lay alongside him
in shell hole, shrapnel bomb burst
close to them and they were blown
ten or fifteen feet apart. "Hurt,
kidd" said MacNider when he picked
himself up. "No, SIR said the kid,
"I'm all right" and all day he follow
ed his commanding officer.
That night when they had reached
a place of safety the kid tainted, and
on removing the youngsters coat,
MacNider discovered deep wound on
his shoulder which had evidently been
bleeding for hours as his shirt was
saturated with blood. "Why didn't
you tell me about this ?" demanded
MacNider when he had revived the
boy. II couldn't let you go on alone,
sir" said the kid, and in Jack Mac
Nider's eyes he became the biggest
hero of the war.

Salvaging Sunken
Treasure.

An interesting story is that which
comes from London about the salvag-
ing of $28,0OO,000 worth of gold bull
lion from the submerged British liner,
Laurentic, sunk off the north coast Of
Ireland five years ago by a German
submarine. It is expected that in the
spring the treasure thus recovered
from the wreckage will amount to
SAC, 100000 or more.
The operations as to the Laurentic
tend to fire the imagination regarding
the possibilities of scanning of this
sort. We do not recall ever having
seen a list of the ships sunk by Ger
man submarines or statement as to
the total of treasure thus sent to the
bottom of the seas. There were, of
course, millions of dollars worth of
things other than gold or gold bullion.
It must be that much Of this lost
wealth would yield itself to profitable
salvage under scientific direction
where it is possible to reach sunken
hulks with recovery devices.
Forty million dollars of gold bullion
raised from a single ship must be a
heartening fact to the British who
were the greatest sufferers from the
devastating work of German sub
marine warfare. 1t is tiny sum COM
pared to what the war cost Great Bri-
tain, but the British have fallen now
upon a time when every little helps"
perceptibly toward what President
Harding calls normalcy.
Recoveries of sunken treasure, how
ever, are not going to lend any respect
ability to the use of U-boats as
agencies of offensive warfare. The
most precious things that were lost
cannot be called back by any device of
mantle human lives that came to
untimely ends. If the Lusitania could
be lifted intact and set again upno the
surface of the waters as an ocean-go-
ing craft with all it's material treasure,
it would be no compensation for the
wanton snuffng out of the lives of in
nocent men, women and children.
There is no way to mend the breaches
in family circles and heal the bruises

The Ultimate
Cost of Living.

This might be delightful world if
everyone could do exactly as he wished
and at the same time get everything
he wanted. We could then live where
we liked and could find ready at hand,
or could get through pleasant effort,
everything that our hearts desired.
Life in at least two fundamental par
ticulars would cost nothing: first, the
price to us of labor in terms of dis
agreeableness would be nothing; sec
ond, the disagreeableness of life in
terms of unsatisfied desire would not
exist. Reduced to its lowest terms,
cost is psychological and consists of
some form of disagreeableness.
No such happy land as has been
described is known to geographers.
Even if there were such a spot, if too
many people tried to live there, some
of them would have to go far afeld for
things that they desired-a circum-
stance that would require more search
ing and carrying than would be agree
able. If they tried to live too widely
scattered, they would miss some things
that can be had only through the or
ganized efforts of many. No matter
where or how they tried to live they
would find that some desirable things
were to be had only through efforts
that were tiresome, dangerous or 9TH
erwise disagreeable, or that interfered
with the desire to play. Such is the
nature of the world, and, properly con-
sidered, it is a rather delightful world,
after ALL The best that most of us
can do in such a world is to find as
agreeable and as remunerative work
as possible Such work reduces to a
minimum the ultimate cost of living,
both in terms of the disagreeableness
of work and in terms Of the disagree
ableness of unsatisfied wants.
The agreeableness Or the disagree
ableness of any kind of work depends
largely, though not wholly, on the
spirit with which we approach it. Peo-
pie who are generally ashamed of
work or who look upon it as degrading
will have high cost Of living in that
such work as they do will be disagree
able and not well done. Not being
well done, it will not be very remun-

Kilping Sees
World Peace.

An Interview IN the PaflS F1garO.--
World peace in four years is the pro-
phecy of Rudyard Kipling made to a
writer in the Paris Figaro when Mr..
Kipling was in Paris to receive his
honorary degree. The paper says:
"On hearing the name of Rudyard
Kipling we involuntarily think of a
giant or super-man. The author OF
the Jungle Book must be a strong,
big man, standing above his fellow
creatures.
"Not bit of it.. We are astonished
to see small simple man, affable and
friendly, who stretches out his hand
to you at once as if you had Travelled
round the world with him. But if we
look for a moment at his face we can
not fail to understand the extraordin-
airy vitality Of this great writer.
"Gold-rimmed spectacles, set off by
bushy eyebrows-like the jungle-and
eyes impossible to describe because the
whole world seems to be reflected in
them and they have retained so much
light-this is Kipling.
Ellis eyes change with each word.
The poet speaks with his eyes as he
writes with his heart. He sits care
lessly on the edge of his chair, stoop-
ing rather forward He accentuates
his words with sign of his head, with
a raising of his eyebrows
II asked him what he thought about
peace as he had been such an excellent
prophet about the war.
ellis face lighted up and he said:
Peace, universal peace l can see it.
Not on the horizan, far, far away, but
on the contrary quite near us.
Seven years are needed to build
up deceased organism. Alas! we
we're badly wounded in the storm and
seven years will be needed for the
world to recover it's equilibrium. Three
are already past, we must still have
patience for four years.
All that is done until then will
scarcely count. Nothing will remain
of our words hardly any of our actions
of today. We are in period of tran
sition between illness and health. In
four years. time we shall be cured;
human energy will have triumphed and
we shall live once again
"Seven years * And prophets
are not superstitious.
Moreover the great writer has con-
fidence in the close union between
France and England in bringing about
this peace which he desires SO ardent
ly.
1T is all in vain,' he says, that the
Germans will try to separate France
and England Believe me the people
at home love France; they remember
her hospitality and the soil which they
defended as if it had been theirs. You
should hear our children talk of the
war and speak of their brother soldi-
ers.
Our children At these words
his voice become tender and low and
a shadow passes over the eyes of this
father whose son fell in the sacred
cause.
"'Our children know the names of
the smallest villages which the soldiers
passed through. They know your
peasants and have lived intimately in
their houses, and a sympathy sprang
into existence which will last forever
between these simple creatures.
Then too there is still greater
reason why we should always be fri
ends, because our dead are with you'll

ct appears that the author of ssKim"
is writing a book now in memory of
his son, a story Of a regiment of the
Irish guard in France. He tells us
what a delicate work this is, adding:

speak about it = and also too
near to the peace.

Lively Ball
Has Created
A New Style

what about the lively ball that has
caused all home-run records to he
knocked to smithereens in the last
three years?
President John Heydler OF the Ma
tionsl League recently came TO the
defense of the lively ball, saying that
it supplied the much needed punch OF
the game, hitting.
For a time the moguls OF baseball
ridiculed the idea that the new ball
was livelier than those used fove years
back. That has all been settled. At
the recent world series one OF the offic-
ials of the factory that manufactures
all the cork-center balls used in the
majors, said:
The ball now in use is lively ball
because il is the best ball that we have
ever made. am positive 1t is the pop
ular ball 1t must be admitted that it
created new era in sport, long-distance

last few years all attendance records
have been broken. which makes 1t seem
that the public is in facor Of hard
