million dollars for starving wom-
IN and children In eastern Eu-
rope win be successful.
This fund is being raised by
eur Jewish fellow-citixens, who
have already given almost fifty
millions for the same purpose,
besides contributing most gem
srously 10 all war funds, regard
less Of religion or nationality.
Gentiles, as well as Jews,
hhould he glad to contribute. BY
way Of making that suggestion
real, this writer sends $500 to
David A Brown, chairman OF the
nationat appeal, who, besides CIV
ing his money most generously,
has given all Of his time, to the
complete neglect for months Of
al his business.

have our little touch Of snobbery.
The pictures show you King

Of the palace, also Lloyd George

they know enough to govern

Revise your imaginary pic

According to Mr.. Druce, Of

Royal Archaeological Institute,
Salon1e was not dancer. but q
tumbler-an acrobat.
She turned somersaults for

It's good news, musically.

A young New York chemist
accidentally killed himself with
ether. He was "trying to look
into the hereafter" His theory
was that II he could get his
soul hall way out of his body,
without losing. the soul would
come back to tell what It had
seen. II went and never came
back.
More than a hundred million
years Of life on this planet in
various forms has been re-
quired to. give the mind the
body In which it now lives.
With that body we can weigh
this earth and the distant suns,
connect oceans, irrigate deserts,
drain swamps, explore the bot
tom Of the ocean and the upper
realms Of the air. That 10 ex-
citement enough for one short
life without attempting pre-
maturely to enter the "ether"
lane.

But it doesn't seem probable.
