the white cross. This departure was
made owing to the fact that the list

Atty McGonagle always responds to
the call of the soldiers, and he al
ways brings something fitting and
appropriate for the occasion. He
spoke of the spirit of patriotism
which has always sustained Amer

is the force against radicalism and
lemagoguery. He spoke of the
America must conquer.
Calling by Mr.. McGonagle of the
roll of those who had "gone west"

doctors, varied with excursions
to the castles and beauty spots
that make this part of York
shire most fascinating.
But let's leave Harrogate
with it's beautiful gardens and
hotels and make some side
trips.
The first objective is ivy
grown moss-covered Fountains
Abbey, famous the world over.
One can visualize it at it's
heyday, peopled with habited
monks, busy with the days
grim, manifold tasks. Near by
rushing little River Kidd
is the gray Knaresborough
castle, famous in English his
tory as is the neighboring
castle at Ripley that sheltered
Cromwell after the battle Of
Marston Moor. Read the local
guide books and you'll get a
fair knowledge of the leading
events in England's history.

first headquarters IN YORK

It is something Of a paradox
that the most continental-look-
ing and cosmopolitan of all the
places in England stands in sur
roundings that are as English as
English can be. Those familiar
with England will know at once
that we refer to Harrogate, the
place where the Englishman re-
pairs to "take the waters" and
the tourist uses as a base from
which he sets out to explore
some of natures most exquisite
scenery and mans most beauti-
full buildings, castles and
churches that are famed in story
and song.
Harrogate is situated in hol-
low of the Yorkshire moorland,
bracing, rugged, and strewn with
gorse and heather It is ringed
round with pine forests and is
sheltered from the rude winds
that blow across the moors.

Where did she come from,
anyway? Nobody seemed to
know. Somebody passed her on
to Somebody Else. Somebody
Else sent her out with letters
of introduction to the Right
People. Suddenly there she
was, in the middle of the spot
light, speaking her pretty,
broken English, rolling her
tragic black eyes, spinning her
desperate, romantic tale-and
being protected and promoted
all over the lot by the Club
Leader and the Society Lady as
their newest Exhibit A.
Didn't anyone warn them
that her tale might not be true;
that she might be just a schem-
ing little adventures? Yes,
some of their friends tried, and
their husbands protested-but
they wouldn't listen. Instead
they laughed scornfully. Mo-
body could fool them! They
had too much experience
knew human nature too well.
So they went on exploiting this
fascinating, interesting crea-
ture, letting her use their
money, their friends, their
homes.
Then suddenly the truth
came out. She wasn't a per-
secuted genius, after all! She
didn't have Noble Blood, and
Ancestral Castles, and a Deep,
Dark, Desperate Tragedy. She
was just a cheap, heartlesS little
Schemer out Of Europe's back
alleys, trying to climb on their
silly. fat necks. And they
wouldn't have been fooled for
a second by her stupid hes if
they had used their perfectly
good brains.
Then why didn't they use
them?
Why did they let themselves
be fooled?

Grenfell Labors

No man knows remote,
unmapped Labrador so we'll
as this Good Samaritan.
For more than 35 years he
has fought the good fight
against the demons of cold,
ice, disease and famine in
the lonely frozen wastes. He
has shown the Eskimos and
the Indians how to live in
telligently, like human be-
ings rather than beasts. He
has taught the fisherfolk
the meaning Of Christianity.
Ordinarily man goes to
the ends of the earth for
gold, glory OR the sheer
thrill of adventure. But Will
fred Grenfell went to the
bleak ice-locked land of Lab
rador for the love of God
and the brotherhood Of man.
It was away back in the
SOS that he heard a sermon
preached in England by the
great evangelist, Dwight L.
Moody.
The Washington times., 1933-07-18
Death Beckons

It was a matter Of min
utes, not hours; but never
the less Grenfell hesitated
until growing drowsiness
warned him of the inev-
liable. And then, with sad
ness in his heart, he killed
three Of his faithful dogs,
skinned them and wrapped
his body with their warm
furs. All that night he hud-
died, bent double, with the
remaining dogs grouped
closely around him, telling
himself that if it was Gods
will that his life should end
so, he was willing to ac-
cept the summons.
But with the coming of
the morning light there was
a shout across the ice. Res
cue was at hand. His work
was to 90 on-this man who
had looked upon Death and
smiled in it's face.

married the living and buried
the dead. He began to teach
the young and the old. He
learned to accept as a COM
monplace the savage minds,
the terrible cold, the horror
of the white, eternal silence.
All of it he endured, smiling,
eagerly, in order that those
primitive people, so like chill
dren, could receive his aid.

Sacrificial Years

But after all these years
the world has come to know
about the long years of sacri-
flee. College men and women
have joined him in his un-
selfish service. Four hospi-
tails have been established in
Labrador. Industrial and So
cial work has grown. Uni
versities have honorcd him
with degrees. King George
has conferred knighthood
upon the dauntless soul re-
sponsible for it all. Indeed,
he should have been made a
noble lord, earl or a duke. if
such rewards are any meas
ure of the value of such
service. For seldom in the
sweep Of history does one en-
counter a nobler spirit.
No peril or hardship ever
daunted Sir Wilfred in all
those bitter-hard years Of
his almost hopeless labors
in Labrador. For there is
steel in the soul of this
knight of Christianity.
The Washington times., 1933-07-18
Moving Sermon

That sermon changed DR..
Grenfell's whole life. He
made up his mind that the
souls of men needed physi-
clans even more than their
ailing bodies, especially y for
gotten men, dwelling in dis
tant places.
When he was graduated
from Oxford and had COM
pleted his medical studies, he
took ship and crossed the
Atlantic and went to Iabra-
dor. He found misery, ig-
norance, starvation, hopeless
ness. And then and there he
began his life s work-one of
the finest achievements to the
credit, Of mankind.

If you happen to have a
hundred million dollars
which is not working, make
an offer to Newfoundland
for it's territory Of Labra-
dor. It should be a gilt
edge investment, and is
made possible by the recent
offer of Newfoundland to
sell Labrador for that sum.
That great and good man,
Sir Wilfred Grenfell, tells
us that Labrador at a hun
dred million would be a rat
tling good bargain for any
body-too good to be true.
DR.. Grenfell believes (and
none should know better)
that unexplored Newfound-
land contains fabulously
rich mineral treasures, and
has advised Newfoundland
not to sell under any con-
ditions.

LISTEN, WORLD!
THEY WANTED TO BE
FOOLED.
BY Elsie Robinson =

THEY WANTED 10 BE
FOOLED.
They believed her story be-
cause they wanted to believe it.
It satisfied their own hunger
for drama. It also gratified
their egotism to play Mrs. God.
It made them feel strong and
daring, and oh, so clever! to
take part in such a tale. And
how it did liven up their dull,
middle aged days!
So of course they believed her
lies, and spent their money on
her, and made fools Of them
selves generally. And now
they're blaming her. They
would! We humans always do.
FOR WE ALL LET OUR
SELVES BE TRICKED LIKE
THAT, SOONER OR LATER.
Why? Why do we stand for
obvious cheats and schemerS?
Why do we surround ourselves
with faWning yes-men, who flat
ter us out of our gold filings
and let ourselves be fooled by
hypocrites and liars?
BECAUSE WE LIKE BEING
FOOLED.
Something in our brains
warns us that they may be
tricksters, but we won't listen.
We're having too good a time.
Our greedy vanity drinks up
all the flattery. Our bored
brains quit their dull job of
facing reality, and scamper
away to take part in this ex-
citing fairy tale.
And meantime, what's hap
pening? Usually plenty! Our
regular chores are neglected.
Our best friends are snubbed
and forgotten. Decent strangers
become involved. There's the
deuce to pay! But we don't care.
We won't stop; we're having
fun.
Then it all comes out. And
do we honestly admit that we
have been off on an emotional
jag, and have only ourselves
to thank for the results? In
deed we don't. We're furious!
Mortified that anyone could
treat us so. Filled with self
pity at the "frightful ingrati-
tude"-and ready to blame any,
one but ourselves.
But whose fault Is it, really?

Hardships

In the blackness of a win
ter's night, when the winds
sweeping down from the
Arctic cut like a knife and
the half-wild sledge dogs
were bowling at the driving
gale, DR.. Grenfell received
a call to attend a sick In
dian woman. With his dog
team he set out over a froz-
en- arm of the sea, making
his way through snow and
storm toward an Indian vii
lage. The wind increased
in violence. The ice broke
up. DR.. Grenfell and his
dogs were caught among
the booming, cracking floes,
facing almost certain death.
By a desperate effort, he
pulled himself out upon a
block of ice, after he had
been plunged into the freez-
ing water. Then he rescued
his dogs, one by one. His
clothing froze solidly upon
him. He knew that he
would certainly freeze to
death unless he killed some
of the dogs and made their
hides serve him as a fur
coat against those terrible
Arctic blasts.

 The result of Barett's working day could have given, to even a less ambitious workman, no req son for pride. He dallied over this and that; looked at a steatite plaque to lay it down without sec ing the hieroglyphics which he was supposed to consider; picked up a seal of freedom to lay that, down, too. He had run his hands through his hair and then pretended to ex- anime a cuneiform inscription.

 Every home-maker makes heavy demands on her refrigerator in hot weather. Not onl must per- ishable foods be kept in good con- dition, but many chilled dishes are needed to tempt tagging appetites. Aside from this, maximum service from a refrigerator means much toward simplifying summer meals. Food can be prepared early in the morning and kept in per- feet condition for later serving. :.
 Fruit cocktails, fruit soups, and jellied soups make splendid first courses which should be prepared oughly chilled.
 Allow Salads To Chill
 The salad course can be almost completely prepared in the cool of the morning. All salad materials are much nicer if allowed to chill thoroughly before serving, while salad dressings keep a week on ice and are ready for immediate use.
 Main dishes can be prepared. baked and kept in the refrigerator until wanted for relocating. Or choose a jellied meat loaf which can even be prepared a day be- fore. Cold boiled tongue. boiled or baked ham, cold roasts such as lamb and beef are popular and can all be chilled over night to be served as .cold cuts"
 These menus for refrigerator meals are simple but interesting and will undoubtedly suggest other menus to you.
 JeIlied Meat Loaf
 MENU 1-Jel1ied Meat, loaf, lat tice potatoes, corn on the cob, cu- cumber and lettuce salad with Roquefort cheese dressing. black berry shortcake, milk. coffee.
 The meat loaf should Dc pre- pared the day before and kept in the ice-box. The potatoes can be made and stored in an air-ttght box until wanted for reheating.
