AGED CENTLEWOMAN DRAWS VIVID PICTURE
 PRE- VICTORIAN DAYS

] CLOAN, Perthshire, Scotland, May
 14-(P)-Fresh and vivid memories of events and customs of almost a
 century ago were given recently,
 through interview and pen by Mrs. Robert Haldane, mother of Lord
 Haldane. as part of the celebration
 of her Tooth birthday.
 Her memories include the first To- comotive, that chugging creation of Stevenson's built the year she was
 born; the first balloon, and the black and white gingham that she and the
 other well-born Little girls wore in
 mourning for King George " when he died in 1880.
 Childhood in those days must
 have been more rigirous experi-
 ence than now. Mrs. Haldahe and the other children were taken from l their cribs about ann. "and plung- ed overhead by two nurses in a
 bath of cold water"
 Lessons" she recalled, were car ried on vigorously with a governess.
 and I learned to read at three years of age. The multiplication table and French verbs were repeated while holding a blackboard, and with our feet in the stocks, which were specially made by the joiner. 'In the year 1892 cholera visited the British Isles. We children were given port wine and ale to strength en our systems against attack, reme- dies to which we did not object. In those days children were always given mug of ale at dinner.time. "The first locomotive" Mrs. Hald. ane continued, was a curious grass hopper-looking machine that made a tremendous noise, and if our pon. les came anywhere near it they at once made off in terror. We drove with out mother to watch the first balloon ascend. and were greatly ex. cited over the event. I was much i'm pressed also by seeing the treadmill of the Newcastle prison, a barbar- ous form of punishment"
 In 1889, when she was seriously ill, the country doctor came dressed in a bright green frock coat with brass buttons and wore corduroy riding brooches and boots. His med. ical treatment was limited to bleed ing"
 "On looking back I realize how wonderful the changes have been since my birth, when it was almost impossible for a poor man to make his way in the world, and even for one of moderate means to occupv any position of importance. There were barriers everywhere, and the influence of the great was required to place children in any good posi- tion.' Young as I was was i'm. pressed by the overbearing manner of the higher classes, so-called, and the unnecessary display of wealth and power. Only three professions were considered fit for a gentleman. the church, bar, and army or navy. The condition of the working classes in the center and south of England was deplorable"

 Draws Actors of Stage

BERLIN, May 29.-(P)-Hard times on the stage have driven not a few German actors and signers to take up other occupations, and on the whole they seem to be happ.er and better off. Seven stage celDri tis have recently become cafe and restaurant owners and four others turned to industry and commerce. Farming has also attracted mum. Der of stage favorites.

WEAR A POPPY TOMORROW; HONOR FALLEN HEROES
HISTORY OF THE ADOPTION OF THE POPPY BY THE AMERICAN LEGION AND THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY.

It was not by chance that the pop py was chosen to be the Memorial Flower of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The poppy sprang from the hearts of those two great organizations.
 The idea of wearing the poppy in remembrance of all who died ill the World War was presented to the Am erican Lgion by one who, from all in- formation obtainable, was the first in America to thus wear the poppy, Miss Molina Michael, of Athens, Go. The greater part of the following was taken from her history of it's adop- tion.
 It was on the morning of November s, 1918, while she was serving on the staff of the r. M. c. A. Overseas headquarters at Hamilton Hall, Co., lumbia University. New York, that a soldier placed in the hands of Miss Molina Michael copy of the Ladies Home Journal with Col John Nc Crae's WE SHALL NOT SLEEP" it. lustrated in it.
 In Flanders Field the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing fly, Soar OCT head among the guns below WE ARE THE DEAD-Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie
 IN FLANDERS FIELD. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw THE TORCH. Be yours to hold it
 high.
 If you break faith with us who die We shall not slep, tho poppies grow
 IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
 Alone in her office Miss Michael read and reread this. beautiful verse which immortalizd the poppy, and studied the graphic illustration. She caught the message, and as she had dedicated herself to the service of her country on the night war was declar- ed she at this time made a second dedication-to keep Faith and always wear poppy of Flanders Fields as sign of remembrance of the sacrifices made by those who fell. She wrote this dedication in verse, considered by many to be the most beautiful an- swer ever written
 "Oh, you who sleep in Flanders fields Sleep sweet-to rise anew We caught the Torch you threw And holding high. we keep the Faith
 With~al who die.

That grows in fields where valor led It seems to signal to the skies, That blood of heroes never dies, But leads aluster to the red Of the flowers that bloom about the
 dead
 IN FLANDERS FIELDS. And now the Torch and Poppy red
 We hear in honor of our dead Fear not that ye have died for raught;
 We've learned the lesson that you
 taught
 IN FLANDEDRS FIELDS.
 The poppy is now the Memorial flower of the French, British and Ca nadian World War Veterans organi- zation. The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary cannot claim a sole right to the poppy, for the poppy is Gods flower and cannot be copyrighted, and has been chosen by other organizations, but the Am erican Legion and the American Le- zion Auxiliary can always claim to have been the first large national or ganization of this country to have adopted this flower.
 The poppy has won a place in the hearts of the people all over the world and every year through the an nual sale of the poppy by the Amer ican Legion and by the American Le- zion Auxiliary. The American public is afforded the opportunity of purchas- ing the poppy thus helping those for whom the war is not yet over, and of wearing it in memory of all who died in service. '
 Tomorrow, therefore, ladies of the Seward Auxiliary will be loaded down with the Memorial Flower and give the citizens of Seward the opportun- ity to show their respects.
