RED CROSS GIRLS FEED THOUSANDS OF DOUGHCOYS Since the armistice, twenty-five Canteens, operated by Rod Cross Chap ters In Idaho, Oregon, and Washing ton have dispensed 23,379 gallons of coffee, and 224,236 doson sandwiches, to soldiers, sailors, and marines en route. The hospitality of these can teens was accepted nine hundred thou sand tlmos, often by men who would have gone hungry but for the Red Cross service, thus rendered. Figures how that these men, through the courtesy .of the Red Cross, drank 8, 497 gallons of Iced drinks; used 6.G63 bars of soap, and 37.713 paper towels; ate 67,491 chocolate bars, 16,629 pounds of candy, 14,764 dozen cookies, 74,913 dozen doughnuts, 9,488 dozen bot rolls; wrote 436,400 post cards furnlHhed and stamped by the Red Cross; and to their own discomfort during a certain period, wore 12,250 Influenza maHks. All this, to say nothing of 22,956 full meals. During this time 1847 sick man were aided by the canteen, seventy-nine of them boing removed from trains as too sick to travel, and receiving imme diate hospital attontion. Canteen work is nearly over, but the Red Cross still has vitally Important work to do. Every membership In the Third Red Cross Roll Call will be a vote of confidence in thu American Red Cross. "It's a Long Way to Tlpperary," but the Red Cross is there. 23i4 j ,ej oss At the presont time In the North western Division alone comprising Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Wanning ton there, are 750,868 Red Cross mem bers.

RED CROSS HOUSE GIVES CHEER AT LEWIS For the Red Cross, the war did not $nd with the armistice, and even yet there are thirty thousand soldiers and sailors still under treatment In army and navy hospitals. The Red Cross convalescent house at Camp Lewis stands next to home Itself in the af fections of hundreds of boys who, sick or wounded, looked forward to the day when they might leave the bare and cheerless ward In the base hospital and spend part of each day enjoying its easy chairs, Us music, its books, Its pictures, and its good cheer. Even now, a year after the armistice, there are overseas nten, patients at Camp Lewis, not yet well enough to be dis charged, who sit before the great fire place these autumn days, thankful that The Greatest Mother is still mindful of them. The picture is duplicated in army hospitals all over the land, and wherever throughout the world Amer ican boys are still in Uncle Sam's serv ''I . s I92Q sssssa nuw" iiiiimnii A Little Sister to Everybody Monday and Tuesday "THK H.trrv FLAY WITH tiik oi.ai (;iui This Is thn promising way Manager IhiHton of the I.yrlc theater announc es Kessln l.ove. the dainty I'll the sUir, In her new offering, "A Little Sister of Kverylmdy," which stara Beagle l.ove In a play that Is clean and wholesome, with sentiment woven wllh deft hands and an eye for the lighter things of life will prove doub ly attractive In these troubled days when world sorrow Is so thickly clouded above us all.

Delaney SUNDAY CLAIMS HONOR FOR GEORGIAN Savannah Newspaper Asserts That Eliat Howe Was Not Inventor of the Sewing Machine. The centenary of the birth of Ellas flnwe. the modest Vnnkee who Invent ed the sewing machine, took place on June 9. There was no extended of servanee of the day, observes Hart ford Cournnt, yet It was Howe who took a good deal of the drudgery out of the lives of millions of American women. He also Increased the power of his fellow men to produce garments and other material that formerly needed the patient handwork of Indi viduals. Rut It Is Interesting to observe. In connection with the anniversary, that the Savannah News undertakes the rather hopeless task of trying to con vince Its readers that It was not Howe, but a Georgian. Francis R. Gouldlng, who constructed and operated the first sewing machine. This paper says that this man, a Presbyterian preach er living In Liberty county, marriefl a Savannah girl and then began work on a sewing machine In order that he might save his fair wife much hard work. Alleging this was long before Howe patented his mschlne, and also that Gouldlng never patented his, they try to show his motives were purely altruistic and not commercial. It all sounds good, but It will take considerable "space" In the Georgia newspapers to convince the world that Gouldlng takes the prize. MONKEY CHAIN CALLED MYTH Recent Travelers In South America . Explain Probable Origin of Story Once Implicitly Believed. An Interesting article hy Prof. E. W. Gndger, In a recent Issue of Natural History, deals with the time-honored story on which most of us were brought up that South American mon keys are In the habit of crossing alligator-Infested streams by Unking their tails and legs to form a living bridge. Pictures of this feat, once figured ex tensively in the scliool geographies, and Professor Gndjrer reproduced such a picture from a Fourth reader pub lished as late as 1S!17. The story was first told, so far as known, by the .Jes uit priest Padre Jose Acosta In a work published In l.rK0. Several Inter writers have repeated the tale. The first person to dispute Its veracity was Baron Humboldt. Recently explor ers of South America, when they men tion the story at all, express skeptl flsm. Finally, Messrs. Leo R. Miller and George K. Cberrle of the Ameri can Museum of Natural History, who have done so much traveling am col- M jiuii n ft, tin mtilj r-.ii,T.r--r-n:?n) nion.

Why Americans Lost Contract "Speaking of Chinese railroads re minds me of the failure of an Amer ican manufacturer to obtain a con tract for locomotives because his Eu ropean competitors made a more care ful study of Chinese peculiarities," writes Lynn W. Meeklns In the Scien tific American. "One locomotive was ordered from each of the competing companies. In every respect save one the American product was unmistak ably superior. However, it had been painted black before shipment from the works, and on the way across the Pacific It became more or less rusted. "Its appearance, therefore, was far less attractive than that of the Euro pean locomotives, which were painted In accordance with Chinese preference, and had been touched up by the manu facturers' agents after arriving In China. Pon't get your colors mixed If yon want to sell goods to the Chi nese." No Flattery Intended. "Is that a portrait of your grand mother when she was young?" asked the awkward visitor. "How It resem bles you, Miss Ugleton!" "Now you only SBy trmt to flatter me. Grandma was quite a beauty, and everybody knows that I nhem--I make no pretensions of that kind. "I assure you, Miss Ugleton," ex claimed the A. V., "flattery Is far from my thoughts. The family re semblance Is striking. I've often known cases like that. There were two sisters I knew when I was a boy. They were wonderfully alike, like that portrait's like you, and yet one of them was as beautiful as a poet's drenm, and the other was dreadful that Is, I mean, she wasn't at all or, rather, she was lacking In that that attractive quality, you know, that con stitutes what a lovely frame this por trait hns, eh?"
