this friendly holiday service was
reached after several requests had
been received at Che National
Headquarters of the American
Red Cross from its Paris office
and also for the reason that no
other single project offers such OPP
poltunity for the application of
Junior Red Cross principles
1t is suggested that the boxes
contain such practical articles as
the following: a rag or celluloid
doll, a hair ribbon, mittens, stock
ings, handkerchie.s, rubber ball,
colored pictures, colored picture
book, a wash cloth, cake of soap,
a tooth brush and tooth powder or
paste, comb, set of dominoes,
a top, marbles.
Last year the boxes of New
England Juniors went to Budapest,
Vienna, and several parts of Mon
tenegro, Albania and Roumania.
Their destinations this year have
not been announced but it seems
probable they will go to the same
places.
The Caledonia Chapter this
week through its secretary, Miss
Narney, has distributed 100 boxes
to the schools of St Johnsbury,
East st. Johnsbury, Lyndonville,
Sheffield, Wheelock, Danville,
Peacham, Barnet, Ryegate, East
Ryegate and South Ryegate. Full
information regarding the con
tents, packing and equipment of
the boxes, will be given at the Of

ROSE GREENBERG
MAY BE STILL RUNNING

NEW YORK Sept. 29-Where
is Rose Greenberg?
More than a hundred indignant
tenants in the apartment house at
1853 Park avenue of which Rose
is janitress, are asking this today
in tone which indicates it is well
for Mrs. Greenbarg's health that
she is in a position to have the
questioned asked and not answer
ed.
This morning Mrs. Greenberg
broke up barrel and two soap
boxes and kindled a fire in the
water heater at tho apartment
house. When the wood was blazing
nicely she threw Oh three shovels
full of finely granulatcd soft coal.
Before the ianitress could slam
shut the door of the firebOX a
burst of rich, black, sooty smoke
pulled out and chased her from
the cellar As far as any one knows
she is running yet.
After exploring the cellar the
smoke rolled up the air-shafts and
dumbwaiters and invaded all the
apartments, Just to give the in
mates a forctaste of what New
York will be like in the winter of
1929. Two minutes later 100
tenants were rushing from the
building and yelling fire as soon
as they could get wet towels un-
wrapped from around their faces.
Patrolman Harry O'Donncll of
the East 10th street station, who
is world war veteran and fearless
entered the cellar and put out the
smudgc before the arrival Of fire
men.
"Thcre's going to be lot of
that in the rext month";" said
O'Donnel, wiping off a black
face makeup he had acquired

better. His lack of interest must
be a damage to the whole class
room, and he is acquiring habits
of dwadling and non-perfolmance.
But any young person who SIN
cerely tries to make good and who
has brains enough so he can pass
fairly strict tests, would appar-
emily get benefit. At any rate he
is acquiring lesson of thorough
ness that will count him well in
after life.
Such a student should learn
truths out of human history and
experience that will make him a
better citizen and so that he will
not be fooled by visionary ideas
and half baked philosophy. So
college education is an ideal to-
ward which any ambitious young
person may we'll aspire, but the
colleges should not tolerate stu
dents who fail to come up to a
reasonable standard of achieve
ment.

MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Authorities Puzzled 40 to Whether
Mans Being Pronounced Dead
Makes Him Legally So.

Al f. Williams. United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas. received
letter short time ago asking his opin-
ion as TO the status OF person upon
whom a death sentence has been exc
cuted, who has been legally pro-
nounced dead, but afterwards regains
consciousness and RECEIVERS.
Tbs case cited was that OF five ban
dis who were convicted of highway
robbery in the province of Cagayan,
Philippine Islands, and sentenced TO
die by the old Spanish method of
strangulation. After the execution the
five bandits were placed on the floor
of church TO await funeral rites in
the morning. In the night three re-
gained Consciousness. Two of The
three died again" in a couple of days,
but one recovered, although left in n
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could be strangi, d
again, or, IL e'could not, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried in the
courts II he committed another crime.
Mr.. Williams wrote an opinion TO the
inquiring person, declaring that he he
lleved that an order could be obtained
from the court setting aside the first
execution as having never been per-
formed and another one ordered.
His opinion was that II the bandit
were not killed, finally, he could he
held amenable for other crimes. al
though legally he was not in existence.
"Of course" Mr.. Williams said. you
will probably find as many lawyers
and judges disagreeing with my Opin-
ion as concurring"

Last of Three Friends.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is the last Of
three distinguished friends. of whom
General Horace Porter and Joseph
III, ChOate are dead, remarks the
Detroit News. They were for years
a link between the present generation
and that or Civil war days. General
Porter campaigned with Grant and
was present when Lee surrendered.
All three were noted orators. General
Porter was regarded as having the
superior mentality and his achieve
ments as soldier. diplomat and rail-
road financier and builder made him
most conspicuous.
Choate's oratory was closely associ-
ated with his winning personality.
Depew's addresses are notable for
their spontaneous humor and wit, while
General Porter drafted speeches with
Infinite care and delivered them with
impressive intensity and sincerity.

HAnnle-Pie Order"

Few persons take time to trace ex-
pressions they use every day. When
a thing is in "apple-pie order" for
example, you mean, of course, that 1t

thing that 1t should be. The express
sion originated under somewhat differ

York Sun.
"Apple-pl order Is an old New
England phrase, and is we'll grounded
I'm the blue laws of several centuries
ago. Formerly the New England
housewife did little work on Sunday
and among the many things she didn't
do was baking. Everything Of that
nature was finished Saturday night.
When the baking was done all the
pies and cakes were ranged in row
on the kitchen shelf. With the -four

housewife would come out with a
smile OH her face ready for the Sab
bath. Everything was in "apple-pie

BELIEVE THEY Ho0DWINK GOD
Chinese Seemingly Have Little Re-
spect for the intellectually
OF Their Deities.

One of the strangest things about
the religion of the Chinese is the rev.
erence they hold for their gods, de-
spite the belief that the gods are gull
lible as man Of inferior intellect.
Instead OF attributing infallibility to
the deitIes they worship, as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks OF childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
Usually the tricks employed are tn
make sure the god does not betray
the sins 0f n Chinese TO the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment of the kitchen god just
before he Is to start on one OF his
periodic visits 10 heaven. This trip
is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven days.
The householder thinks he hust pre-
vent the god from reciting his sins to
the deities. So ii Is the general Gus

man on the general proposition that
TO the victor belongs the spoils.
Thereupon, Mr. Hayman, about two
weeks ago. displaced Jack Catterton
in the Eighth district, who. the engi-
neer acknowledged 10 be a very Ell
cient man. and appointed in his place
John W. Sherbert. who was defeated
in the la:e election as candidate for
County Commissioner from the Eighth

foreman some years ago. and is like

rhe County Engineer is said 10 have
protested against this, and TO have de-
Jcribed Mr.. Wigley as an unusually ell
lcient man. Lorenzo G. Lowman as
table man in the Fourth district was
also removed by order of Commits

appointed in his place.
Altogether. the situation in regard
to road affairs in the county seems 10
have reached an acute stage, with is
sues sharply drawn between the Com
missioners and the County Engineer
as to the matter of these several ap-

surrender and shape his appointments

demands of the Commissioners.

Birds That Dive.

Aquatic birds tlat are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at Will by eXpelling the air
that Is inclosed within the film OF
feathers surrounding their bodies, thus
making them heavier than water.
This mechanical trick on the part
OF diving birds Is probably familiar
to all who have watched the king.
fisher at close quarters and have noted
the sudden contraction in the birds
apparent size as it takes the plunge.
This is much more easily observed In
the case OF the starting. which some
times initiates the kingfisher by pIung-
Ing into tile water. The shrinkage OF
the bird is very apparent when, after
towering above the surface, it turns
downward TO dive.
