The TeeIIling Tines
BY TINY TESSIR.

The toll Of lives. OF property 10
great this cloudy morn;
The havoc wrought on yesterday
left many hearts grief torn.
How, quickly times ofsJoy begun on
bright and glorious Sunday
Can turn from, joy to holocaust ON
blue and gloomy Monday.
My theory Of the storm would. be.
at twelve bells on. the dot,
I Weakened from dreamless sleep
aboard my. down1 cot;
A thunderclap 90 loud / heard,
I'ir tell yOu man to man,
/ thought the u. 8. "A. was surely
fighting with Japan.
The long night through the thun-

lightning FakOa.
lay aboard my ship Of sleep and
Quaked. and quaked, AND
Quaked:
A flippant~fGncy bright through my
ssething brain did steal:
Suppose a playful lightning flash
should tap me on the heel.
Discussing storms this morning
with . lady sweet ana bright,
Whose face 10 calmly beautiful,
Oh. WI whose hair 10 silver white,
~ given me o thrill
know your like the story. Here,
I'll tell it with q will.
That sunny. yester morning. where
Judea's faith 10 founa,
When temple bells were ringing,
white frocked children gath.
For into Moses. temples raSbis
smiled and leaned to pray
Above the heads OF children on
their confirmation day.
On Sinai, high and holy. Moses
stood one fiery night:
Midst heavens. awful thunder. God
bestowed the rules of right;
And Moses, stepping from the Mount
:: to greet his waiting throng,
Confirmed the word of God to those
who waited ever long.
To sanctify that. holy time, the
souls Of. children waken,
And on that day receive the word,
the same as 1t was taken;
Confirming to their inner beings,
though on foreign sod.
All the teachings that through
Moses came from IsraePs God.
So when the storm broke loose.
ght and tempest ragged afar.
To that sweet white. haired lady
To her the prophet spoke again.
the Light was in the sky,
And God had spoke to Moses once
again from Mt. Sinai

ASK WOMEN TO AID
CHILDREN ABROAD
500 Garments and Layettes Urged
for Needy in Poland, Greece
and Hungary.

Washington women yesterday were
asked, through the District Chapter
of the Red Cross, Mrs. Theodore
Richards, secretary, to make up 500
children's garments and layettes for
needy children of Poland, Greece and
Hungary, on whose behalf urgent
appeals have been made by Red Cross
agents working in those countries.
The call for volunteers was sent
out because of the need for workers
to complete the garments, which are
all cut and prepared for sewing. The
chapter provides material, including
such findings as tape, buttons and
the like, and Mrs. Richards said to-
day that if a woman could spare
only time enough to complete little
pettieoat it would be Il great help
to the appeal.
The garments can be obtained at
the District Chapter headquarters,
10 Jackson place, today. Mrs. Rich
ards and Mrs. Harold Barnes, as
siStaDt secretary. are supervising
distribution. 1t was pointed out that
it is not necessary to BE- an enrolled
Red Cross worker to do this work.
although it is hoped that those who
respond will volunteer for similar
service at other times.
