IL scattering. In the two wards
Vim. Erickson was elected city tres-

lie sat beside his bed, his tired
worn hands holding the little parcels,
and in his ears the sweet music of
the word Papa, papa, my papa"
He arose ar the first permission
All his poor trembling hands could
do could not hurry the hour of de.
parture.
The ward awakened slowly. lie sat
there waiting for permission to de-
part Then at last the hour came,
and the ambulance to take him to the
train.
He came shyly, and with a beauti-
full courtesy saying 81 bought it for

be yours, and their children's. adieu."
BlissfuI Reunion
On Easter day, the ward lay quiet,
and upon the army table set In the
neck of an old wine bottle lily
glowed, white and beautiful. And
somewhere in France that Easter day
man heard the music of his chill
dren's voices calling Papa"
Wide eyed, the woman listened, and
by some magic the tale of the years
was wiped away from her worn face.
In her arms lay her child. crippled,
its useless little legs dangling, like
stalks, too frail to uphold the blossom.
Gold hair and violet eyes, child
of sucf exquisite beauty and charm
that the eye fingered and feasted, and
was yet eager to linger to see the
rare smile that lit the baby face
The mother listened to the tale of
the Easter service upon the hilltop,
Into her starved heart came the di.
vine message of hope.
Early in the night she started with
her precious burden clasped close to
her heart. Up the long road to the
cross, and there with prayers and
tears she laid her child asking and
believing that the cripple would be
made whole.
Like an Easter lily was the tiny
face, so pearly white in the dawning.
Nearby the mother prayed, her
emotion rocking her, as a tempest
rocks a frail boat in the storm.
All was quiet upon the hilltop, for
it was yet night. An artist coming
for inspiration to the great festival
of the lilies saw the pale child and the
shawled mother, and in the sublime
mother love and faith conceived
picture. An Easter lily.

New Life
and
Hope at
Easter

There are Eastern lilies growing In
the gardens of California, white and
pure they stand in stately rows. With
in their waxen hearts there is a gold
en- pistil pointing, like finger. to the
sky.
Upon the hills of California the
Easter sunrise services bring to thou
sands the message of the risen Lord.
In the great Hollywood bowl con-
course of people knees In spiritual
surrender to greet the Eastern morn.
The rosy flush of dawn comes from
the hand of night. Daybreak filings
wide the curtains of the sky, and the
pealing notes of the organ echo and
re-echo the glad tidings of another
Easter day.
Upon Mount Rubidoux the cross
stands uplifted to the sky Fertile
valleys and perfumed orchards lie far
below, but on Easter morn the hearts
of the people are filled with new
thoughts and the earth becomes the
handmaiden of the sky, now pearling
into the first sweet flush of dawn.
The ward was very quiet; men lay
in the deep sleep of exhaustion after
the long stress and storm.
Only one man asked, ever and anon,
the time.
1t hung like a weight about his
heart the time, that would not hurry.
Hour after hour he lay, and his
dark bright eyes grew brighter as
the dawn crept over the sky. He had
whispered his request before the
ward lights were dimmed, "Call me
early, Mademoisele Infirmiere, lest
Sleep"
Long Hours of Waiting.
But he had not needed the call. He
had hardly slept, for every now and
then his hand had crept out to touch
a little pile of neatly wrapped par
cells that lay beside his bed.
His uniform, so palely blue from
long service, was there ready. All
was ready for this great moment,
only the long hours held him captive.
How his eyes had sparkled, how
his heart had beat when he came into
the little Office there at the end of
the ward. His letter all marked with
tears.
'Safe, all safe. My babies my wife.
Four years, mademoiselle, | did not

the letter. go to them up there in

"There is baby Jean, he was four
months, and tiny Yvonne, so sweet,

wait"
All his movements spoke of his
agony of longing. His great father
love was In his clasped hands, and
passionate yearning was in his voice.
At night he returned, and upon
his bed the parcels were opened.
Little shoes for the baby, little
cap, bottle OF perfume for the dear
wife.

A. Scott Of the University of Oregon suggested that
undergraduates ought to have chance to fish and
hunt and camp to get the hang of recreations
they could enjoy in middle age. Showing that the
notion is not farfetched the trustees of Oberln col
lese have bought fifty-five on the Vermilion
river eleven miles from Obern, to provide weekend
outings for the students Apparently the depart
ment of roughing it is not to be coeducational.
The report that the fifty-fve will as a
hunting ground sounds Pickwickan. Fortunately, it
threatens no serious extinction of native fauna.

Editorial Comment
UNITED FOR HOOVER

(UctrOlt NeWS)
In his concluding dispatch to The News from Kansas
City, and in Analysing the results of the Republican
convention, Mr. Jay G. Hayden makes this interesting
and significant statement
The fact is that men of the La Toilette and
Norris variety more nearly satisfied with
Hoover than with any Republican candidate
since Roosevelt
That should be and is, believe, true. "YounR
Bob" OF Wisconsin and Senator Norris of Nebraska
are the outstanding leaders of what remains Of the
Republican secession which began with Roosevelts bolt
from regular republicanism in 1912. Borah was a
chief bulwark and support Of Hoover at Kansas City
alone the basis Of continued party rebellion is clearly
without leadership and well-nigh without existence.
Evidence is convincing that the former progressves
are thoroughly merged and that the republicans
Of the central west and far west thoroughly
united than at any other time in the last Is years.

happy. Rather than being in hot

avoids her. He spends most Of his

PAINTING

PAINTING
When Z person faints in . public
place, IS is usually the case, every
body in the vicinity develops an i'm
mediate kindness of heart toward
the unfortunate victim, trampling
on each others toes, interfering
with the circulation of fresh air to
the faintee, and some motherly per-
son picks up the victims head and
holds it high so that the small
amount Of blood, which may be re-
naming in the brain, will drain out,
producing m even greater loss Of
consciousness.
Most people have been told often
enough what to do when q person
faints, and yet the usual procedures
OF crowding around and supporting
the head are exactly the wrong
things to do.
Many cases Of fainting are
brought on by lack Of oxygen in a
congested room, and in this case it
is important that the individual re-
ceive q large supply of fresh air.
Painting is always caused by a lack
of blood in the brain and can in most
cases be relieved by moving the
patient quickly to an open window
where a plentiful supply Of air can
DO secured, allowing the person to
lie flat on the floor without raising
the head. The blood flows with
gravity just as a liquid outside of
the body does, and the head should
be lowered to allow a flow of blood
to temporarily crowd the brain. All
Of the clothing about the neck and
throat should be loosened, and above
all it is important to avoid excite
ment when someone has tainted.
Painting does not usually result
in death even when nothing is done,
but the return of consciousness may
be FASTENED by dashing cold water
on the face and tanning fresh air to-
ward the nose. If no cold water is
available, slapping may be resorted
to. and it is advisable to slightly
raise the arms and legs so that the
blood will flow toward the head.
Spirits Of ammonia held to the nose
will stimulate the breathing, but it
is not advisable for one who has a
tendency to faint to resort to the
continual use of the smelling salt
habit, which is certainly objection
abla
Painting in crowd Of people is
certainly an embarrassing situation,
and persons, who feel that they are
going to faint, can often avoid doing
so by lowering the head so that
larger amount of blood will flow in
to the brain. If you are sitting, it
is a good plan to lower your head to
beneath the knees. You can pretend
to be searching for some object on
the floor. If you are standing, and
wish to avoid embarrassment, YOU
can pretend that you are tying your
shoelace, until the faint feeling has
passed.
If you have a continual tendency
to faint, you may be sure that you
are suffering from some serious dis
order of your circulation, and you
should have thorough examination
