HEROISM SHOWN BY
AMERICAN WORKERS OF
NEAR EAST RELIEF
Cables Reveal Appalling Ar
menian Need—Hundreds of
Thousands Starving.
I By CHARLES V. VICKREY
General Secretary, Near East Relief
Ao&^%.

Approximately 600
American men and
women are stand
ing loyally and he
roically at Uieir
posts In Armenia,
Turkey and the
Nfilf _„st. Many
of them during the
long winter M l«Q
SttiOH nt* Undergo
ing what we In
America call "hnrd
shlp," Hut these,
our fellow citizens
in the Near East,
Charles V. Vickrey
are volunteers serving with a high
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet It.
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field of
famine and desolation. They have re
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure WOUld mean death for
tens of thousands of women and chil
dren whom their efforts have kepi
alive and whom they are determined
to save for a better future.
A dozen cables are on my desk from
various centers In Armenia, Anatolia,
Cillcla and Syria pleading plteously
for the lives of hundreds of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty-five thou
sand refugees Constantinople alone;"
"Refugees Rocking into Aleppo."
"Twenty thousand refugees nt tsmld;"
"One hundred thousand people at
Alexandropol will Starve unless relief
Is provided;" "Refugees arriving from
Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked,
destitute! Urgent need to save most
of them from death;" "Two hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
Alexandropol I Severe winter adding
to distress."
Above all towers the mute appeal of
the more than 100,000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
ican relief workers have saved and
Whom We here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. If we do not provide,
they perish! And with them dies- the
hope of a New Near Blast,
The Easter season Is here —the sea
son that commemorates the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America Is known
as a Christian nation. She ls also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name of Christian If we turn
a deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, In behalf of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children In Bible Lands?

NOT THE ORDINARY ROMANCE
Happily Married Man Has Something
Different to Say About the
Darling of His Heart
She wasn't exactly handsome, nnd
yet you couldn't cell her plain.
Her features were Irregular, but
interesting, as I heard one of her
friend*.- remark.
For instance, one pearly car of
matchless beauty was an Inch or so
lower than the other.
And her teeth were so splendidly
different from the usual. The absence
of two of them in front relieved the
monotony of the faultless rows of
molars thai moat girls have.
Then again she bad a habit of hold
ing her mouth open so" that If there
were the slightest breeze stirring it
Would whistle weirdly in and out C. '
the Space between her teeth.
Her eye- were fishy bine, and slight
ly crossed, so that to walking she
could not help tripping over her own
feet.
She also, tned-tn a trifle, find when
she sidled down the road, daintily trip
ping In her own charmingly original
way, ] pie stopped to look at her.
It used to gratify my vanity to be
stared at so whenever I went out with
her.
In fact, 1 may as well out with it,
I found her so fascinating that I mar
ried her. And ours has been the hap
py union.
She never bores me. she is n con
tinual source of interest. I keep find
ing new things wrong with her every
flay.- -London Answers.
HONORS NOT EASILY EARNED
Japanese Wrestlers Who Rise. Fame
Are Deserving of the High Po
sition They Attain.
Training for a Japanese wrestler
Is not easy. • The training of our col
lege boys for an athletic event Is child's
play in comparison. It is not unusual
for a novice to be gashed and bleed
ing after being knocked about the
hard gravel of a private arena. Young
students come but at 4 on cold morn
ings and train until 8. Their fat and
muscles are hardened by constant
ramming at wooden posts and their
heads are hardened by being pushed
vigorously against walls. Yet it is a
career any boy In Japan's villages
aspires to who throws more than the
average number of local rivals.
A champion today has 150 or 180
"hands" or device, at bis disposal. The
aim, 11 worthy one certainly, Is the
maximum of force with the minimum
of disturbance.
Wrestlers are classified into nine
grades, of which only the first three
or four have professional Importance.
In each camp there are three leading
ligbts. The champion, the O-zeki, or
second champion; the Seki-wakl, or
second assistant champion; the Ko
musubl, the assistant to the second
assistant champion. The supreme
champion Is called the TokodZUOa, but
there have only been a score of these
since Japanese wrestling started In
the prepagoda period.
How Burmese Women Smoke.
Merchants smoke their pipes from
dawn until dark, in Korea, writes a
correspondent. They squat down
when they smoke, and as the stems
of the pipes are 2 feet long, the bowl
can rest on the ground. In Bethle
hem the hookah is very popular among
the women and it accompanies the
morning ami afternoon coffee-drinking
hour. Several tubes extend from the
water bowl through which the smoke
passes In a cooling process, and the
women gather about the hookah, each
selecting a 'tube, and all drawing
smoke from the common bowl. The
Burmese maidens smoke a cigar 10
Inches long and as fat as a good-sized
candle and with a white paper cov
ering. The longest pipes known are
those used by natives of the Belgian
Congo. These pipes have steins 10 or
12 feet long. With small bowls. If
matches wore used to light them a
friend would be needed to apply the
flame, but the native gets his light
by merely thrusting the bowl into his
camp lire.
Bats and Bees.
For many years I have noticed when
the lime trees are in flower the ground
beneath them strewed with dead bees
(the small bumble-bee), stales a Scot
tish correspondent on nature matters,
But 1 don't think this can be the work
of bats, as suggested, for the bees are
generally whole, outwardly, but their
Insidea are eaten away, Can It be
that there Is some tiny insect in the
lime flower which, fastening on them
as they suck the honey, eats into their
bodies, and causes them to drop down
dead below the tree? I have never
noticed any number of bats about the
trees of an evening, and besides a
bat's mouth would be too large to eat
them out like that.
[ English Coal Miners Peculiar.
The occupation of coal-mlnlng In
England is said to pass very largely
from father to son and from uncle ti
nephew. It is a calling to which one
Is dedicated, and more than any oth
er class of workers the miners are a
casts and a people to themselves. It
was about a coal ml net, « r. as he used
to he more generally called, ■ collier,
that the famous story of the Broad
wood grand used to be told—how he
bought the piano out of hit mom revs
wages and, finding himself unable to
Pit] it. look umbrage and kicked It
to pieces. The story was generally
believed and much grieved over la mid
die-class Victorian society.
