Will Teach Armenian
Orphans How To Play


A Maryland girl, Miss Anna Rouse,
of Belair, is going to teach $1,000
kiddies in the Near East Relief Or
phanages in Greece chow to play"
Miss Rouse, who sailed on the Roch-
ambeau, of the French line, a few
days ago, has had considerable ex-
perience in supervising Fairgrounds
in Baltimore.
Relief workers find that without
knowledge Of how to play it is impos-
sible to thoroughly teach the Near
East orphans American idealsH
It is for these little children and
many others in the relief orphanages
and for the hundreds of thousands of
refugees, mainly women and children,
that the Near East Relief is asking a
rs per cent increase in donations this
summer as it is impossible to keep
up the regular orphanage work and
care for the refugees also, under the
regular orphanage budget.
Donations may be sent direct to

kept for evidence before United

Of II men and women next week.
The contents of the bottles includ-
ed bonded rye, gin, corn whisky, bee,

1t was learned that for two weeks
prior to the raids several revenue
agents had been in Hagerstown get.

spenders in taxicab fares and in the
purchase of liquor. Sixteen agents
assisted by an equal number of local
officers, conducted the raids.

No wonder one passes cars from all
the Western States. For to what
pleasanter and mellower part of
America could these benighted inland
dwellers hope to come?
A lush of land knee dee p in peace.
IE many ways detached relic Of a
blissful past. Caught even temper
arily in its pleasant tolls one under
stands why Maryland-this ancient
State has never produced Presi-
Ident nor a Vice-President nor a
Speaker Of the House nor any salts
factory number Of men high in the
national councils.
Life in Maryland is altogether too
pleasant.
Even in Southern Maryland, the
poorer soil of which has prevented
some of the luxurious social growths
of its sister peninsula, life, is very de-
lightful. Our inland counties lack
the glamor of the bay counties. Yet
they are pleasant lands. Maryland
is an anodyne. One is too busy liv-
ing and enjoying to achieve very
greatly. Maybe Ohio. produces so
many Presidents because-well, we
wont rub it in!
The interesting past of the Eastern
Shore seems curiously obscured by
the new movement and vitality
brought by perfect roads and more
rapid inter-con1munication. From
Ocean City and Snow Hill and Prin-
cess Anne and thence to Claiborne is
row merely a matter Of six or seven
hours in good machine. Even 20
years ago it would have been a tedi-
GUS journey of days. Yet 20 years
ago the Eastern Shore was still part
of its feuday past. Today that past
has receded so rapidly that it seems
scarcely memory.

THE CHILD'S BEDTIME
MAKE YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS RETIRE EARLY

Careful measurements show
that the child-or the adult
who goes to sleep with a tense
body, and mind is certain to
suffer some kind of depletion
during the hours of rest.
The bedtime period may in
deed be designated as the heal
ing hour" for the retiring child.
Regularly you should recall the
experiences of his day just
closed. Learn as to the fears,
rights, worries and perplexities
which may have affected him.
While he is resting on his pill
low, and with body and mind re.
Taxed, speak the phrase or SEN
tence that is best calculated to
counteract the trouble. Put him
to sleep with perfect bodily COM
fort and with a calm feeling of
assurance that all is we'll. Thus
you may make bedtime a period
Of valuable schooling as well as
a time Of spiritual comfort and
healing.
