The following letter Is self
explanatory. All persons who
are interested and willing to belp,
please report to Mrs. F. d. San

My dear Mrs. O'Deary:-
There are now slightly less than
GOO patients in this hospital, but the
work is very busy one and the Rcd
Gross is trying very hard 10 render
all the social service Of various kinds
which these patients request
Possibly because of what has been
so long expected of the Red Cross,
We are still furnishing many Of the
supplies, particularly the knitted ar
ticles used by the patients. We have
very special requests for heavy gar
ments in the way of sweaters, socks
and caps, etc, because so many of the
men sleep out on the porch and the
nights in New Mexico are very chilly.
Because National Headquarters is
not sending US any more supplies, we
must necessarily look to some of the
interested chapters to send many
articles We need. 1t has occurred to
me that your chapter might like 10
do very definite piece Of service for
these boys in connection with the
knitting of wooden caps used for
sleeping out Of doors. We have q
great demand for these caps and at
present have less than one dozen on
hand. We, however, have hundreds
of helmets which, you win remember.

can do this you make 1t several inches
larger around than this one If YOU
think you would all be interested in
doing this thing for our sick boys,

you can use for material in knitting
these caps.
With very kind personal remem-
brances to you and the other men,

assurance of the great appreciation
which we, here at this hospital, will
have for any interest shown "our

EARLY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
the Great Continent Long Before
Columbus Was Born.

1t is said by persons who have given
attention to the subject that the
Mortimer were well acquainted with
the east coast Of North America nearly
500 years before the first celebrated
voyage of Columbus. 1t is said to have
been accidentally discovered by an Ice
landic navigator, while endeavoring to
make the coast of Greenland, in the
year 1901. From that time, for about
$50 years, the intercourse Of the Ice
landic Normans with Holluland New
foundland), MARYLAND (Nova Scotia),
and Vinland New England), was fire.
quent and intimate. No other Euro
pean people have been so scrupulously
correct In keeping their records as the
Scandinavians, and the accounts Of
these early voyages, which have been
handed down from the period In which
they were made. are most particular
and Observation-Disclosures so, indeed,
than those Of the Spanish Adventures
who followed Columbus.
All intercourse of these Mortimer
with America seems to have ceased
about the middle of the Fourteenth
century. This fact is as extraordinary
and inexplicable as that, about the
same time, or soon after, they disap-
peared in like manner from the west
coast of Greenland.

SLIPPED AWAY FROM ARREST
Cuaker's Explanation That II Would
Have Been lnconvenient at the
Time Is Humorous.

A story dating from our Civil war
has just been retold by Earl Russell,
grandson of Lord John Russell. the
great Victorian statesman, in his MY
Life and Adventures A Philadelphia
lawyer named Rosengarten was a
colonel in the Northern army and was
dispatched to arrest John Janney, a
Quaker, who had signed the Virginian
act of secession. He found them all
at a meeting" so he just sat down
and said: Il don't want to disturb
your meeting, but warn you that at
the end of it, 1t is my duty to arrest
John Janney." One OF them arose and
said: "Will thee take off thy hatr'
NO" he replied, sit is Friends meet
ing" "Yes, thy hat is a military hat"
So he took it off, and his sword also,
after some demur, and one of the
Friends took them out. After an hour
or so, the meeting was over. SNOW"
he said, II must remind you that l
want John Janney. Pray stand up"
About twenty of them stood up. Mon
sense" he said, II want the John Jan
ney who signed, ETC." "Oh, that John
Janney,' they replied, 'why he took
out thy hat an hour ago." He added
that after the war John Janney came
and called on him to apologize for
slipping away, but said 1t would really
have been very inconvenient for him
to have been arrested just then.-SaD

UaKWIN'S THEORY OF LIFE
Opinion That Has Been Sharply At
tackled and Holly Defended Since
He Expressed 1t.

Charles Darwin published in 1859 a
work entitled "Origin of Species" IN
an attempt to prove that the numerous
species now existing on the earth
sprang originally from one, or at most,
a few primal forms, and that the
present diversity is due to special de-
velopment and natural selection.
According to Darwin's theory, those
plants and creatures that are best
suited to the conditions Of their ex-
istence survive and become fruitful
certain organs called into play by Pc,
culiar conditions of life grow with
their growth and strengthen with their
strength, until they become so much
a part and parcel of their frames as
to be transmitted to their offspring.
The con ditions of life being very di.
verse cause a great diversity of or
ganic development, and of course
every such diversity which has be
come radical is the parent of a new
species.

CATS MARK OF CONFINEMENT
Purr Proves That Pussy Is Just at
That Moment Particularly
Pleased With World.

We know that the cat purrs when
she is pleased. But just how she does
1t, beyond the fact that she is breath
ing in a way which causes a peculiar
vibration, we do not know. Place
your hand on the chest of a man
speaking or singing in a low deep
voice and you viii experience a dis
tinct vibration. 1t is only this vibra-
ton, much exaggerated, that we feel
when we stroke a purring pussy. 9th
er "cats" besides our domestic pet
also purr, the note In the case of
large animal such as puma rather
resembling roar. A seldom-noticed
popularity Of the purr is that 1t
continues both during breathing "in"
and "out''; careful observation will
detect a slight break in the purr with
the change of breath. The purr Is no
more than an expression Of emotional
satisfaction. Just as some of us,
when feeling particularly pleased
with life, will instinctively and al.
most unconsciously hum, so will a cat
purr when it is contented.

AUSTRALIAN HOME PICTURED
Really Fine Word Painting That
Brings the Scene Perfectly
Before the Readers Eyes.

Through some paddocks and bel,
of trees you come first to the wool
shed, quiet now, for the time of shear
ing is past. You pass through q
white gate and as you descend the
steep drive you see the house at the
bottom of the hill-a long low bunga-
low, gayly painted in two shades of
apple green, with dull red roof. BY
it runs a little creek, which widens
into a dam at he foot of the garden.
The hill above the house is golden
with waffle, the scent, too heavy in
doors but delicious in the open, fills
the air. In the garden beside a tall
clump Of bamboo, black waffle with
feathery leaves and pale yellow bios
SONS hangs over the water. There are
great punches Of freesias, antirrhin-
ums tall as bushes, double pink peach
blossoms and scarlet carnations
A black swan swims up and down
the water; he stretches out his long
neck and utters his queer cultural
cry. From the veranda you can see
on the skyline a long low hill, bare
Of trees, but green in the distance
There are no mists; all the outlines
are sharply defined against the blue
sky. The frogs keep up a continuous
drowsy murmur not much louder than
a cricket, but with an occasional deep
note as though a harp string had
been struck.
Later the moon will rise and the
magpies delight your ear with their
harmonious MARBLE all the night long,
and the trunks of the great gum trees
stand out white in the moonlight,
lending dignity to the scene. A calm

A Pair of Gloves,

One keen, biting winter morning half
q dozen grizzled, stoop-shouldered old
men were cleaning off the snow and
ice from the sidewalk of an eastern
city. They were warmly clad, and all
wore thick gloves or mittens except
one; he was trying to work bare
handed.
While he was alternately swinging
his pick and stopping to blow on his
fingers tall, broad-shouldered man
came walking along the pavement. He
wore fur coat and a pair of beau
tiful heavy gloves. When he came
opposite the old man who was resting
a moment from his work, he suddenly
snatched off his gloves, thrust them
vigorously into the hand of the labor
er, and with the tenderest and merri-
est of smiles went right on, without
even turning round, and was lost in
the crowd.
The old man Strengthened and stood
staring after him in utter bewilder-
ment. Then, shaking his gray head
over and over as If he were unable
to explain the generosity of the
stranger, he slowly drew on the COM
forting gloves and continued his hard
work.-Youth's Companion.

Sees No Change in Weather

A scientist says the sun has not
cooled five degrees in a thousand mil
lion years. This may be true, but our
recollection is that a thousand million
years ago the summers were much hot
ter and dryer than they are now. A
thousand million years ago the heat
was so intense we couldn't sleep
nights; even in our favorite northern
resorts a palm beach suit felt like a
winter overcoat. The mercury used to
break the necks of the thermometers.
In those days they used to deliver ice
at nights, because it was impossible to
transport it in the daytime. A 25-pound
cake of ice in a trip from the wagon
to the back door, if the sun were shin
ing, would be changed into a kettle of
boiling water. Only five degrees cool
er in a thousand million years-the
man has grown forgetful Detroit

Keep the Baby Quiet at Nlnha

Getting up in the night to quiet az
uneasy baby Is not the joke that some
comic writer's represent it to be. A
young husband discovered this In case
of his first-born and the means he
took to overcome the difficulty Won
him a prize in contest in new uses
for electricity.
The only means of quieting this
baby, who was ailing, was to move
him up and down, gently. In the low.
er part of the crib the father fastened
the motor of a discarded electric fan
From a small pulley on the motor he
ran a belt to a larger pulley on q
short shaft, at the other end of which
he rugged crank. Then he extended
a connecting rod to the center Of the
frame that supported the springs and
mattress.
The motor, when started. moved
springs, mattress and baby up an6
down about an, inch, smoothly, gently
and regularly. 1t proved entirely sat
isfactory to the baby, who is now
one year old, healthy and happy, and
he has never got his parents out Of
bed at night since the apparatus was

On visiting France he found that the

Some Consolation,

The guest found the brides biscuit
rather heavy. They kept forcing them
on him, and he kept nibbling at them.
But he slid several into his side pocket.
The bride saw this and so did her hus-
band. OF course they were too polite
to say anything. However, as soon as
the guest had departed, the bride began
to whimper.
"Cut out the weeps, dearie," coun-
seled her husband. Take it as a COM

less intends to conduct some important
experiments from which we may all
reap fame and fortune. He's a noted
