pecially after the welfare of the
child victims of disaster. 1t finds
clothing for those who need it,
financial aid to tide over the crisis
for those whose resources have been
suddenly swept away. 1t fills a
place into which no other agency
quite fits, in a spirit of helpfulness
as broad and as free as humanity it
self.
To meet such calls, always sud-
den, the Red Gross must keep its
resources for relief always liquid.
When the need for its help covers
such a broad area as the present
need does, it has to draw heavily
upon its stores of supplies and of
cash, and to call upon men and
women of kindly spirit toward their
fellow-beings in distress to con-
tribute in money what all cannot
give in service. The Red Cross is
a voluntary organization. Its work
in the field is almost entirely done
by unpaid workers. 1t has no sub
sidy or appropriation from the
Government, but carries on entirely
by the aid of contributions.
The Red Cross is calling now
for contributions to meet the cry
for aid from the flood-stricken
regions. 1t is the part of good citi-
zenship as we'll as of goodwill to-
ward those who suffer, for every
body to respond to the call, and!
give all he can. !

1t almost seems as if there wasn't

the waters under control seem
rather ridiculous.
Naturally, I have been thinking

road bridge at Washington, all the

POPULATION DATA
(1930 Census)
ID APRIL 3, 1886,
A QUO FOR EASTER

From the beginning of time, men
have hailed the coming of Spring
as the resurrection of the earth
from the death of Winter. Long
before the Christian Era began,
every religious cult celebrated in
one way or another the returning
season of growth and sunshine,
with its promise of life beyond the
grave. If the dead trees and grasse.
could so demonstrate immortality,
why should man alone rise no
more?
In a few days the whole Chris
tan world will join in testifying
> on Easter Sunday, to its faith that
death is not the end, that life goes
on forever, in new and unknown
but more glorious forms, that we
earthbound plodders can no more
imagine than can the maple tree or
the wisteria, shedding its scarlet
robe Of Autumn under the killing
breath of Winters frosts, imagine
the glory of the SPringtime gar
ments of green which it will wear
in its new life.
The belief that this is true, that
there is a life beyond death, a life
of release from toll and sorrow for
such as truly believe and strive to
live up to their belief has been the
most powerful force in the history
of our modern civilization. In this
faith men have found a common
tie of mutual service for the COM
mon good. All of the concepts OF
duty, honor, self-denial, self-res'
pect and loyalty upon which great
nations have been founded derive
from the faith which is the very
root and heart of Christianity.
Let no one say that the faith Of
our fathers is outmoded, that it NJ
longer has its old power to inspire
our lives. We are living in troub
lous times, and those of little faitl
are crying aloud that the ole
truths have failed, the old belief
are dead. But even as they scott
Spring brings her perennial symbol
of the eternal life: And this com
ing Easter Sunday millions uPo'
millions of believers will meet t
testify anew to the truth that the'
faith is a living faith, that it stl
rules the hearts of men.

REBUILDING -. the blessing
One effect of the floods in the
thickly-settled East is bound to be
an immense amount of rebuilding.
Bridges and dams will have to be
replaced, factories and other build
ings repaired or replaced. 1t will
take countless millions of dollars
to set things to right. Steel and
concreate will be used where wood
answered before. That will make
more business and employment for
the heavy industries, and ma
turally a lot of work for artisans
in all the construction and building
trades.
This will be real employment, on
work that must be done and that is
better for everybody concerned
than made work. 1t seems to me
that the floods may turn out to
have been a blessing in disguise, by
taking up a lot of the slack in in
dustrial employment.
D 49,. the doctor
The old-fashioned covered bridge,
of which quite a number survive in
the East, have Away fascinated
me.
The early settlers housed in
their wooden bridges to keep the
roadway free from snow and ice
1t didn't matter so much if a horse
or wagon slipped sideways off the
highway, but a loaded wagon on a
slippery bridge could easily 60
through the guardrail into the
river.
One of my boyhood memories is
of a flood that washed away the
flooring and superstructure of an
old covered bridge near my home.
Our village doctor had been sent for
on an emergency call, across the
river, but could not set out until
long after dark. He saddled his
horse and rode off through the rain,
Not until after he had crossed the
river did he learn that the bridge
was "out."
A miracle? No, just an accident
the sure-footed horse happened tt
hit one of the IS inch "stringers'
!: that were all that was left of thu
bridge, and walked acros in tn
dark like a tight-rope performer!

By MARY FENTREsS

Paris .(UP)-French women, per- haps more than the women Of any other country, understand the se- crets of proper makeup. Eyes are the most expressive feature of the face and when properly made up do much to enhance irregular or dis" pleasing features.
 According to French beauty ex- perts, the first step is to outline the eye lashes by very fine line from soft pencil-if the eyes are set too close together, the outline should just be placed on the outer edge of the eye. Next comes eye shadow, and experimentation will tell which of the many shades on the market is most suitable.
 Shadow should be placed where 1t will do most to enhance the size and shape of the eyes. For the average eye, the shadoW should be placed on the upper lid, tapering up in an arc to meet the outer end Of the eyebrow.
 Small eyes appear larger, primar- fly by the application of the tlne outline of black or brown pencil, and secondarily by the use of eye shadow on the outer part of the eyelid runnin gup to tho tail of the brow, which should be plucked to curve upward. Eye shadow should not be used on eyes that are too deeply set or too prominent as 1t tends to make a person look tired and haggared in the former class and rather pop.eyed in the latter.
