The Value
of "Main Street?'
In reading Ihe much talked of
novel, "Main Street," which la
now being published In The Star,
one is remind<-d of .the remark of
an old Scotch lady about Burns'
"The Cotter's Saturday Night"—
that she saw nothing in the poem
whatever, because It was an ac
count of exactly what had hap
pened in her home every Satar
day night.

It U to be seen whether "Main
Street" will take a place in per
manent writing along with "Cran

doubted that the book already haa

Dr. Sherman L. Divine, Pacific Northwest
Chairman of the Near East Relief, and a
member of the investigating committee just
returned from a three months' trip to the
heart of Armenia, says:
"I saw the *r«at warehouse* at Derlndje, where American food and

hospitals of the Near East.
"I saw, and learned positively, how securely these gifts are handled In

"I saw dead children, under the shadow of Mt. Ararat, tying In the
street, and being carted away by eight* and tens, to a hasty burial,
because there was no food for them.
"I saw children turned aged with suffering, the only covering of their
gaunt and bloated little bodies, torn gunny sacks.
"I saw twelve thousand beautiful kiddles, smiling and singing by day.
and at. nightfall on their knees thanking God for America's eare and
protection thru the ministry of the Near Kast Hellef.
"I saw the splendid effete being made to train these children for self
