RUSSIAN WAIFS
* ARE CARED FOR
' BY RED CROSS
OMSK, Siberia, July 10 (Corres
pondence of Associated Press).—
How to care for 1,100 childrep from
Petrograd, who became wards of the
American Red Cross, is a question
which Dr. Doremus Scudder, head of
the refugee work of that organiza
tion, is trying to solve as a benevo
lent foster father.
The youngsters were sent to Sibe
ria last summer by the Bolshevik
government because of the food short
age in Russia, and were cut off from
any possible communication with
their parents by the outbreak of hos
tilities between the Czechs and the
Bolsheviki. They arrived in a body
at Miass, sixty miles west of Chelia
binsk, in charge of teachers, and
thereafter scattered in groups to Che
liabinsk, Troitsk, Ekaterinburg, Tiu
men, and other towns. Their teach
ers deserted them and they were left
»
to charity.
The desperate plight of 300 of the
W'aifs at Miass came to the attention
of Y. M. C. A. Secretary Compton,
who came through from Samara.
After doing what he could for them
and enlisting the aid of his friends
among the Czechs, Compton appealed
to the Red Cross to look after them.
The result has been that the Red
Cross has colonized this group of
children at Turkayak, a mountain
resort fifteen miles from Miass, after
much negotiation with the owners of
f some twenty-five “datchas” or sum
mer cottages, and is planning to con
solidate with them various other
groups to the number of 300 to 500
more. In addition there are 500 col
onized at Tinmen.
The actual work of organizing the
, Turgayak colony has been done by
Gregory Welch of the British Society
of Friends. Alfred J. Swan and Mrs.
Swan, also Britishers, are looking
after educational work among the
children, and Miss Lillian Welch, an
American, is devoting her time to
encouraging agriculture and to teach
ing English.
Miss Welch, who came to Omsk to
try to enlist more help, describing her
work in the colony, said:
“The children are very anxious to
learn English and are eager to hear all
about America. A group of girls
have been in the scout movement,
and when they learned that I had
been an organizer in Honolulu they
begged me to come and live with
them and teach them. Every Ameri
can who visits the camp is besieged
with questions.”

UNIQUE NAVY POSITION
IS HONORABLE ONE
WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET, Aug.
28 (by mail).—Charles Bowes, song
leader attached to the Pacific fleet,
holds that no man can have a wicked
thought while he is singing.
That is why, he says, he believes
his work in the navy is having not
only musical but moral results.
Mr. Boyes, who, in naval parlance,
“ranks a salute”—or as a commis
sioned officer— receives it alike from
officers and enlisted men, all of whom
have a fondness for the “sings” he
conducts as oten as feasible.
Officers of the fleet have cooperat
ed heartily in his work and the men
in general have found a real pleasure
in improving their musical knowledge
and, Mr. Bowes says, a real relaxa
tion in singing.
Mr. Bowes has received from Wash
ington orders detaching him from- th£
fleet. He has been instructed to visit
Mare Island and Goat Island and then
to return to the national capital by
way of the Great Lakes training sta
tion, near Chicago.

ijij 1 You have observed what hap
jijj I pens to a flag that haps and
jjjj | whips in the breeze. In time it
jjjj | becomes shredded and tattered,
ijij |
jjjj | Your washing, when you dry
ijij | it on the line, is subjected to this
ijij | same wearing action, Of course,
jjjj I the effects are not so severe and
jjjj | not so apparent to the eye as
jjjj 1 those suffered by the flag but
jjjj I they are there nevertheless.
ijij | There is none of this wear when
jjjj | we dry for you. We simply
ijij 1 place 3/our clothes in a magic
jjjj I basket. In 15 minutes, without
jjjj | sc much as a thread being dis
jjjj I turbed, they are practically dry.
< =:
i =
A few minutes more in warm, 1 %
pure air and they are com
pletely dry.
No wringing, no flapping, no |
soot—the result is longer life for
your clothes; economy of expen- 1 £
diture and economy of labor. ! S

Doesn’t this appeal to you as f
the proper way to have your
family washing- dried ? I
This, however, is but one of the I |
conserving details of our im
proved laundering methods. I £
A trial will be convincing. | j|
Telephone and we will have
our driver call for your family
bundle. I ;£
