FAMINE CAUSES BLIND BABIES American Red Cross Lays Affliction of Polish Children to 8tarved - Mothers. Warsaw, Poland. ? The abnormal number of children born blind In this country during the last three years Is due mainly to the malnutrition of mothers, according to a report Issued by the American Red Cross.

But investigation by the American experts proved that the fam ished condition of the mothers reacted on the eyesight of their Infants.

HUNS MADE A CLEAN SWEEP What They Couldn't Steal In the French City of Doual They Ruthlessly Destroyed. My homo whs In Pmuil, writes Jean Prolx In Everybody's. When I visited the town. hoGii after the tlermnn* left It, 1 fouod 1t untouched hy shell tire. Strange as ft may seem. the houses ar?? standing ami the roofs are on the houses. Hut every place has been ransacked; so much so that In my house the only article of furniture left are two stools, one of which la of no value. The other, a light gilt foot* stool In the drawing- room, la smashed. Kvery other article of furniture haa been atolen. The valueless contents of tvew drawer were thrown on the floor and soiled. Some valuable paintings by Oorot were hanging In 0"? of the rooms. They wfcre carefully aelected, the caftvas was cut out of the frames In the cleanest possible way and re moved by the Germans, whereas a hole whs kindly kicked through the others. This la a precise Instance of their methodical thefta. When the people who lfved In the house were turned out by the Germaus they took away the few papers that were In the safe which was fast to the wall; they left the key on {he safe door and the door ajar, as much as to say that there wan no need to break It open. On the safe I found a short hatchet, by means of which the door had been smashed. Is this destruction for its own sakeT No, this is methodical destruction. The safe would eventually jUave to be replaced, and very likely by one of German make. INSCRIBED ON GOLDEN BOOK Deed of S?lf-8aorifice Not Recorded on Earth, but It Will Be Found Elsewhere.

It's your home for the war. So stick to It and stick to your comrades. I never tire of telling recruits a story of two men of our Second battalion In the Dardanelles expedition. A blizzard and a washout swept away a lot of our chaps. The two I ain talking about struggled on and found sortie sort of shelter, and there they sat down to rest. The younger could have got away and come to camp, but he wouldn't leave his pal alone In the storm and darkness and snow. "The next morning they were found together, asleep for good ? frozen stiff. The younger had hie arms round his pal. He held a bit of broken biscuit in ?each hand and there were biscuit crumbs frozen into the mustache ofv the olfler man. "That's the whole story. I don't know what their regimental numbers and names were, but there's a Book where their names are put down all j right and forever."? New York Sun. 8naile Operated Plane. The celebrated French airman, Georges Dombrlval, has utilized the well-known instinct which scientists have long observed Is possessed by snails. For some unknown reason, ? snail when placed on an inclined plane crawls toward the highest part. When M. Dombrlval was informed j of this he placed on the upper plane of * his Maurlce-Farman machine 88 pounds of snails, two-thirds of which were the large, slow snails of Bour gogne, beloved by epicures, the remain-, der of smaller add more agile variety. After rising to about 1,500 feet he was able to take his hands off the controls for the reet of his two hours' flight. The snails moved in a mass toward the upper part and re-established the equilibrium whenever the machine dipped, either laterally or longitudinal ly, thus keeping the airplane in per fect line of flight. Hot One for Lawyers. Here Is a hot one on lawyers and a certain sort of sportsman. An attorney was arrested for violat ing the gome laws ? catching 10 fish out of season. He pleaded guilty, but when $30 per flsh was the fine Im posed he withdrew his plea and got a brother lawyer to defend him. The Jury, In spite of the plea of guilty, brought In a verdict finding him guilty of catching one flsh only, and fixed the fine at $10. One of the Jurors ex plained to the angry game warden as follows : "Yes, we knew he pleaded guilty and admitted catching 10 fish. But the Jury, you know, were all of the same mind. He was a lawyer AND a fisherman." Prohibition in Lithuania.
