how to swim and it was at his request

the lily pond. Cable dispatches re

that many of the men were picked up
after being in the water several hours,
their rescue doubtless being due to
the fact that they were able to swim.

the civilian department on the work
done up to December ’I, and outlining
a program for the future. The figures
do- not include 12',<X>o,OOOf, used for
civilian aid up to the end of November.
A report which Major Grayson M. P.
Murphy, retiring European commis
sioner for the Red Cross, is taking to
Washington will sitow that 30,000 re-j
fugees, brought by way of Switzerland
from Northern France, are now being!
cared for each month. Fifteen thou-j
sand of these are homeless. Thirteen I
thousand refugee children have been i
cared for at EvTan Tes Bains since the

growing appreciation of the work un-j
dertaken by the French public au
thorities and by private initiative to-1
ward, the amelioration of the misfor-|
tunes of the victims of the war.”
“It is both an obvious and a pleas-1
ant duty,” he says, “not only to aid i
directly many such organized efforts,
but so to plan all our own direct ac
tivities as (o supplement, strengthen
and co-ordinate French agencies.”

OUT OF THE PAST
Back in the secret recess
Of every beating heart.
Buried maybe scores of years..
Like treastire, set apart.
Dwells some youthful1 dream of lhw«;
Oft tinged with sad regret.
Yet held to mem’ry ever dear
By a heart that can't forget
Afterward', lit other years.
There is a respite given;
One we mert along life’s way
With whom our fate seems riven;
Yet ever ftnm those youthful years
That other ghost will haunt,
Telling us while life shall last
The heart must requiem chant

When your card is filled with Stamps ($4.00 worth), you can I
