SILENT PEOPLE

1t is the silent person who provokes your interest and
your admiration, isn't it?
The person who talks, who boasts, who dictates, who domi-
neers-sueh a one is easily classified. But the silent person, the
one who thinks, that type is always full of surprises.
Great people are usually silent. General Grant was
known 'as the Silent President" OF Marshall Field, the
great merchant, it was always said, he talked little. Napoleon
was a silent man.
The bully the coward is he not always the greatest
talker. The brave man says little.
The silent person is dangerous as an enemy but most
loved as a friend. The talkative friend may interest and
entertain for a day. The silent one understands and satisfies
for all days. The takative friend delights in sharing your hap
piness. The silent one is willing to share your sorrows too.
The talkative friend sometimes wearies you. The silent friend
always rests you.
All nature proves the beauty and power of silence. The
brilliant sun that warns the earth makes no sound. The rose
that blooms in your garden blooms noiselessly. The mighty
trees that shade your lawn face silently the winds and storms
of winter.
So it is with great souls, they are silent. 1t is written of
the greatest soul the world has known that when they Knocked
him and reviled him, che answered not a word"
'Silent people are best Why's They are springs. Their
souls bubble. And the people that ehatter-they are geysers.''

YOUR BABY AND NINE

American Women
Hospital Aided

Negotiations have just been clos
ed between the American Women's
Hospitals and the government OF
Greece, to take over the Island or
Macronessi as a quarantine station
for the shelter of refugees from
Smyrna and Anatolia, who are about
TO enter Greece. This is by far the
greatest piece of humanitarian work
yet accomplished by this organiza-
ton by American women of which
DR.. Esther Pohl Lovejoy is chair
man. Owing to the urgency OF the
situation the executive board with
DR.. Mabel z. Elliott of Benton Har-
Dor. Mich, as director OF the work
In South Eastern Europe. has agreed
to finance the undertaking and have
the island equipped and ready for
occupation in six days. When this
is completed 1t will be the largest
medical quarantine station in the
world.
The Island of M~acronessi is ten
miles long and two miles wide, situ-
ated thirty-six miles south of Athens
and uninhabited. The American
Women's Hospitals will furnish p
500 tents and the necessary hospitals
disinfecting plants, soup kitchens,
etc. DR.. Olga Stastny of Omaha,
Nebraska, will be the resident d.
rector on the island, and with the
assistance Of forty Greek doctors
and nurses she win be able TO care
for 10000 refugees at one time. This
new branch of relief work will cost
800, 900 which will be entirely de-
frayed by the American Women's
Hospitals. For the past five years
the women OF this organization have
been doing a great work in rehabili-
tating the war-stricken area, and
nov with the advantages Of an up
to-date quarantine station thousands
of moor people will be enabled to
go out from Anatolia to Greece who
would otherwise be prevented from
leaving in case they had typhus or
smallpox.
