vestigated conditions in the* m on main
province of Cmbria. Italy, with a view
to aiding the familes of soldiers, had
an experience both interesting and
amusing. Out of a dozen little vil
lages visited, in which the people wore
found to be in comfortable clrcutu
stances, then* was only one request
for aid The town officials, at one
place, after admitting they had a favor
to a.s.-v of tin- Red Cross, asked time
f'»r further deliberation before putting
in the application. The seriousness
of the olTcials convinced the Red Cross
workers that the town was going to
ask for a large supply of necessities
Imagine the surprise of the latter
"ben the town officials submitted this
request with great solemnity:
"We would like the Red Cross t<
give us a donkey and cart. If is to In

some distance from the town to school
This will enabl • the mothers of thes«
children to do in ir farm work with
