PAGE SIX ^- . ... _ . .. AROUND I RE WORLD ^WITH THE AMERICAN g^RED CROSS.+6|\ In Serbia._ AM\\ As far ha?k ns the first winter of the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia sanitary commission that effectively checked tlie scourge of typhus, but fter the United Stutcs entered the conflict, the Red Cross was able. In August, 1917, to send a full comnils elon that carried on extensive relief operations anionic the suffering refugees of the tortured nation. Hospitals were established, the refugees fed, clothed nnd given medical uttentiou, the army supplied with much neettod dental treatment, farm machinery, and seeds provided to help the Serbs redeem their land to productivity, and, not least, measures undertaken for the uccor of the children. The terrible condition into which these helpless victims of the war had fallen is well portrnyed by this photograph of a little Serbian girl wearing the rags and expression of hopeless dismay thnt were all she possessed when the Red Cross came. ViCT'JRY TO SUPERIOR RACE Teuton Hosts at the Marne Overwhelmed by Men Possessed of * Love of Liberty. nit- luuuwinx passage is irom pii article entitled "The New Men nnd the Old World," In Inter-American. The writer, Jesus Semprum, is a noted Venezuelan man of letters, the author of many biographical, historical and Jiternry works. lie employs the ullegoricnl style of writing. "Therefore, men died hy the thousand, from Nieuport to the black Vosges," writes Mr. Semprtim. "An advance here, another there, thousands of prisoners, hundreds of cannon ; but tbe channel ports continued to be denied them: Amiens and Chalons and Paris unatta iwl>!c in ti e distance. The tired chargers w? nt mi far as to drink the fateful waters of the'Marne. "Suddenly the wind of wrath blows against tin* monarch's hosts. In the front rank fight with skillful daring the new men. like veterans seasoned in long campaigns. Without knowing the whips of the sergeants, the destroyers of free will, without having lived cowered hy the yoke of minute and iron discipline, without calling themselves the favorites of the Most High. Pershing's men pursue the veteran conqueror* of the world and throw them back upon the Moselle, astound them with their numbers, their strength, their simple and serene valor. They went forward at a quick and measured pace, and under their feet the soil of France quivered in the Joy of liberation. "The new men had arrived in time!" Something to It?After All. The hostess had talked about her wonderful ancestry until her guests were bored to distract Ion. No one made any comments, hut still she was determined to win some. So she turned to the young woman next to her and said: "Isn't It splendid to have an ancestry of which one can he proud ?" The young woman, who was very successful indeed, smiled and calmly rejoined: "I really don't know. Yon set- I've been so busy all my life trying to do something worth while so that my ancestors, should they suddenly come to life, would not foe I ashamed of me, that I've had very little time tr. hunt Information about them." Temperament and Watch. That particular kinds of temperament exercise a baleful influence on watches seems to ho a common experience. "I once carried fonr In three iiMinuiM. wnres a correspondent. "and nil stopped. A watchmaker told me that they beliavcd ns watches do when the spring of the balance gets magnetized, though why they should have done so he could not say." The fact when mentioned to Prof. , S.vlvanus Thompson. distinguished electrician, noticed that the clock-stop- j per fidgeted a good deal, and ventured to suggest that such movements probably generated a small amount of frlc* * tlonal electricity at high tension, which might at times magnetize the prlng. MISER SAVER BIG SUM BUT ONLY TO LOSE IT Man Did Not Follow Principle* of Thrift?Sole Idea Was to Hoard Hio Money, 8pending Nothing. A modern Midas of Cnicago, who had accumulated $300,000 by never spending anything, recently was declared incapable of handling hiB affairs. He became incapable not be- ( cause he amassed $300,000 but because j mo ?>t y no itv-i'uiiiuiai.HU 11. tie e?- | (ranged his family, went to bed with the thickens to avoid spending money on lights and lived on $f>5 a year. Then lie ran afoul of the puzzling income tax law and now his children are to handle his beloved savings. This modern Midas was not a thrifty man. He was a miser. True thrift enhances and increases the wealth of the world Hoarding money benefits neither the miser nor his fellows. Wise spending is as essential as wise saving, and wise investment is as important as either; wise spending for th" comforts and pleasures of life as well as the necessities makes for the thriftiest iife and stimulates production. Wise investment makes possible the crea tion of r\ew wealth. The tniser saves but spends noth ing. He secures only the meager sat- I lsfaction o? watching his pile of money grow. The wise exponent of thrift , and sound investment has the comforts and pleasures of life and saves at the same time. The foolish man spends his money for what he neither needs nor really wants; does not attain the concerts and lasting pleasures of life and saves nothing. If the modem miser of Chicago had spent wisely he would have had years of comfort and happiness instead of years of squalor and want. If he bad saved wisely he would have had the love and respect of his family and as- ; sociates tf he had invested wisely he would have heon competent to handle his own affairs. "Waste not- want not" is still the 1 modem axiom of thrift hut "want not" must not be interpreted to mean not wanting the things that make life worth the living. Don't be a modern , Midas. \ PlfVlNf.

The honey crop of the United States was 92.1 per cent of normal on July 1, according to the estimates of the United States department of ngrlculttire. Reports to the hurenu of crop estimates warrant the estimate that the yield of surplus honey per colony vvns 2f?.8 pounds and that about one fin If of the annual product per colony was realized by July 1. The high condition of 92.1 per cent of normal on July 1 this year compares with GG.7 In 1P18 and HG.3 in 1917. Chinatown Hides Joss.
