cession of gaunt hungry men, bend
ing low under sacks of flour, stag
gered down the gang-planks with
their burdens to the waiting carts
on the quay. Day after day the in
terminable line of heavily loaded
carts dragged its swaying, crawling
length up. the long hill and across
the half demolished town to the
railroad station, from whence the
precious burden was sped upon its
life-giving errand And outlining
the path of that procession, articu-
lating like a huge-linked chain in
motion, the white flour siftings lay
like a ribbon marking the way to
new life, new strength, new hope.
1t was as if one beheld the very life
blood of a nation beginning to pull
safe through its arteries.
To an American, the spectacle
was beyond words moving. The
imagination leaped across dividing
land and ocean to that other group,
the members of which in a fine
frenzy of altruism were sounding
depths and climbing heights of ex-
alterd effort beyond anything known
to man, and in the stupendous pro-
cess were discovering the treasure
of their own passion for righteous
ness. Even as with magnificent ges-
ture they gave life to a nation near
to death-so at that moment they
found their own souls.

Three years lay between that ex-
perience and this unpacking of gifts
for group of sickly children, on
whose twisted backs and misshapen
limbs war had laid the supreme bur
den. Three years, during which men
had fumbled blindly, trying to scale
the precipice beyond which lay the
way to a secure future; years in
which faith faltered, and yearning
souls knew fear and the black terror
of possible failure; years in which
the steady white light of unselfish
heroism died in mems eyes, giving
way to the darting flame of avarice
and suspicion and snarling envy.
Years, when often and more often,
the tormenting question rose in
weary brains-"Is it that there is
no Godhead in man." And 10! here
was the answer in those little pack
ages with their bits of childish
treasure, gathered together in un-
bounded love, and sent flooding over
land and set with serene faith that
the free-masonry of childhood is as
broad as the universe, and the pass.

IN PALESTINE

Jerusalem lies on a high, windy
ridge In winter the wind is bitter
and snow often flies. There are
no trees except where here and
there groves of olives have been
planted. Bare gray rock splashed
with red peoples stretches on every
side. But in the deep gorge OF the
Brook Kedron there Is the green OF
hush gardens and where the valley
widens toward the pool of Sloan,
famous cauliflowers are grown.
Four thousand feet below Jeru-
salem, on one side. the caUldron of
the Dead Sea is visible, with the
blue hills of Moab beyond, topped
by Mt. Nebo, from which Moses
viewed the Promised Land. But be-
tween Jerusalem and the Dead Sea,
the country is scarped and sterile.
~ desolate, lonely, but impressive
wilderness. On the other side wild
mountain paths lead through Samp--
sons country down to the Plain of
Sharon, where fruitful fields reach
to Joppa and GAIA on the Mediter-
ranean Sea. This is the grainery
of Palestine.
Up in the hill country of Jerusa-
lem and Bethlehem shepherds watch
their fIockS as in the time of David,
defending them from wolves and
iackals. Here lives a boy. the son
of the chief in the village Of the I'M
peni (tent thief. The village has
bad reputation, having been nest
of bandits for over four hundred
years
But this boy is not one of them.
When offered money for posing for
his picture to be sent to the Junior
American Red Cross. he refused, re-
plying that ne was glad to do some
thing for Americans as he had
heard Of the scholarships which the
American children had given to or
uhaned children of his own country.
When asked how he knew this, he
said that each week his father de-
livered camel load of vegetables
at the orphanage where the director
was an American. He was proud to
have been chosen for a place in the
picture which was to 90 across the
sea to be shown to children who
were befriending the needy.

Great Work Done
For School Children

Bogalusa, La, May /, 1922.
10 the Mayor and Commission COun-
ell, City Of BOgalusa, Louisiana:
Gentlemen
Feeling that the school work done
or DR., J. H. Slaughter, your city
health officer, and myself, is sure to
he OF interest to you, who are so vi
tally interested in every phase of
public work in your city, the follow
ing report was prepared:
The work of inspecting the schools
was begun November 18th and con-
cluded in April. All six of the white
schools, the three cOlOred public
schools and also a small private school
for colored children has been inspect
ed. This inspection consists Of test
ing the vision and hearing, in exam
lng the eye, ear, nose, throat, skin
and noting the child's general cOndi-
ton. The children are weighed and
measured and comparisons made with
the standard for their age. This,
with a short history of the child is
recorded upon an individual health
card and filed at school. A written
notice is mailed to the parent for
each child.
When examining the Long Avenue
School on a cold day in December,
we were particularly impressed with
great need of some hot food at school
for these little children, and began
casting about in our minds for some
means by which this could be accom-
plished. It seemed logical that the
mothers of a community should be
Ehe ones most interested, and as there
was no Mothers Club or Parent
Teachers Association to which we
could turn, we began to interest the
mothers and teachers in forming an
association, with the purpose of in
stalling hot soup and getting a much
needed playground. The Long Ave
nae Parent-Teachers' Association was
accordingly organized on January "a,

New Worms Destroy
Orange Trees in Day

A new specie of worms, which
said to destroy a young orange tree
in one night, were exhibited in Bo-
galusa Monday, having been taken off
tree at the Robert Carson farm.
One of the young orange trees >as
dead Saturday, and Sunday morn, lg
another near it died. An investiga-
tion was made and worm measuring
about two inches in length was found
on each tree.
Those who have made orange-tree
growing a business in this section
state they have never seen such a
worm before. 1t is a hideous looking
creature and when angry protrudes
its tongue almost a quarter of AL
