 So that poor little Miss Ellington is dead. She was most interesting the night of your party. Although she looked so wistful and trusting. there came into her eyes at times alternate gimpses of determination and fear that made me wonder if you or anyone else really knew any, thing about her.
 She was very young and yet per- haps it was better for her to die than to live under the cloud which seemed to have settled upon her. Her life was the kind which makes good stories and perhaps. when l reach Egypt I shall take her for my heroine, even though have an- other all picked out for that some- what dubious honor.

 My Dear Mrs. Prescott: May I have the pleasure Of sending you the stories of Michael Arlen.
 Only that you have been so busy lately with burglaries and other sensational happenings, l am quite sure you would have read these charming stories.
 AS 1t is, I hope am the first who has presented them to your notice.
 Because I like them so well - especially the one called Charming People - I have had them special ly bound for you.
 am sailing in about a month for Nice, where l shall remain for the season and then perhaps go into Egypt. As. you know, my novels are all of. American life, but l usually go to some foreign country for my atmosphere.
 Americans in America are com monplace. Americans on the streets or in the bazaars of Cairo are TO- mantle and interesting.
 This morning with some vague idea that l might get the nub of a story I took my roadster and drove down the Main street" oi Albany. All the girls were wearing coats with fur around the bottom where it was only good for looks and not around the top where il might pssibly do some duty.
 All the men were wearing bright rcd neckties and Prince of Wales hats. There was nothing about them that would filipe the imagination.
 But if you would take one of eacf of them and put them meeting ir the streets of Cairo you would bt all ready to write of romance ant

It is never safe to neglect a wound caused by the bite of a dog.
 Dogs often are infected with rabies, especially during the sum- mer months.
 Most states now furnish free treatment for rabies and it is better to play safe and take the treatment wherever it Is at all possible.
 Snake bites are less common than a few years ago. Only few pois- onous snakes are found in many parts of the country.
 As soon as the bite has been in- iiicted, tie cord above the wound

 Suck the wound. Make it larger with clean sharp knife.
 Then pour into the wound strong ammonia. or permanganate of pot ash, one ounce to pint of water. After this loosen the cord little.
 A good liniment to apply to snake bites is made from turpentine, one pint; camphor, three ounces; sul- phuric acid, four drams; nitric acid, four drams; olive oil, four drams.
 Mix these ingredients, and apply freely.

NINE. REISIK NAMES
PLEDGES OF PEACE
President of Esthonian Womens
Council Enumerates Friendship,
Good Will and Understandings

Nine. Marie Reisik president OF the
National Council of Women i'll Es-

will and understanding are pledges
of a future world of peace. and says
that 'the Esthonian women consider
the work of the international Council
of Women as one of the greatest guar
antees of future international friend
ship and mutual understanding; that
1t is evident that women are especially
predestined to manifest themselves as
apostles of peace.
"The Esthonian women hope espe-
cially much of this deepening of inter
national friendship. which surely will
be the result of this fortnight in hos
pitable Washington, when this great
est parliament of the world, the par
lament of women, which surely will

bilitieS and new beautiful dreams Of

creating foundations for successful

we hope will be a great united and

International Council of Women,

striving to the great ideal-to unity

greatly help to develop undivided

more unity of conceptions of life, and.
therefore. the present antagonism of

quarrels and wars. will disappear.

development and increasing influence
of women will gain gradually weight

expressed the belief that the organi-
zation will set standards of interna-

MOTHER MOST POTENT FACTOR
FOR PEACE, DELEGATE ASSERTS
Nine. d'Arcis Declares
Women Must A,Uake to
Responsibility.
Head Of World Union
Calls for Concerted Et-
forts against War.

Nine. Clara Guthrie d'Arcis of
Geneva. Switzerland, the only Amer
icau-born among the foreign dele
gates to the quinquennial of the In
ternational Council of Women and
a founder and president of the World
Union of Women for International
Concord, believes the grooming moth
er in the prairie home is more po-
tent than a minister plenipotentiary
i'll bringing about world peace.
To illustrate her point about the
power of women to bring about uni
versal peace, Nine. d'Arcis described
how. during the World War. she
heard her 5-year- old son playing
war in the garden. She looked and
saw that the boy was wildly excited.
She called and asked what he was
playing, Mime. d dArcis said, contin-
uing:
The enemy the child gasped.
Don't you see them? The enemy!
| killed six OF them. See them, the
six?'
Nine. d'Arcis then. with mixed
emotions, related her admonishment
OF her own son.
My child" answered Nine. d d'.Arcis.
did you see their six mothers weep
ing over them"
Compatible With Patriotism.
Although striving for universal
pace, Nine. d'Arcis emphatically
declared the World Union of Women
for International Concord is entirely
compatible with patriotism. She en-
phastzed its object as being an at
tempt to awaken women to realize
their responsibility and to employ
their individual power, each in her
own circle of life, toward creating an
a atmosphere of understanding. a state
of mind of kindness and tolerance
which, she said. will inevitably bring
about permanent peace.
Among the 81 so-called practical
suggestions of the World Union. ac-
cording to Nine. dArcis, are the fol.
lowing:
I'VE must accept the truth Of tbe
