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.

Heney 92.1 Per Cent of Normal.
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

of 92.1 per cent of normal on
