be- As far back as the first winter of
rj_ the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effectively
checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
me" conflict, the Red Cross was able, In
yle- August, 1917, to send a full commission
that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering refjust
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospl,
I tals were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs redeem
their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition Into which these helpless victims
of the war had fallen Is well
portrayed by this photograph of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
j and expression of hopeless dismay
100 that were all she possessed when the
- Red Cross came.

Peanut Now Important Crop.
The peanut has accomplished won
ders for agricultural development, and
haa Increased production by acres and
C doubled the value of land In many
I sections. It similarly helped Alabama
through the crisis when the appearance
of the weevil played havoc In
the cotton flejds of that state. It has
done well throughout the Southland
^ Virginia, which formerly stood flrat In
" Its production, haa sunk to fifth place.
The peanut oil Industry has added
to the value of the crop, and this year
the total harvest and value were the
? greatest ever recorded, In spite of a

peanut has proved Itself a valuable

Pleasing Trait of Household Help
in Palestine.
/ I
Presence of Company to Dinner la
Taken as a Compliment?Native
Woman's Amusing Confes- 4
sion of Vanity.
Palestine Is one place in the world
which has no "servant problem," ae- 1
cording to Miss Evangeline Metheny
of Beaver Falls,' Pa., Just returned
from Red Cross service in the Holy <
Land.
"The servants In Palestine," says
w?? .. i ?i,? i... thpre
Miss Jitmiruj, win/ nn? n , t v.
most of her life, "are a different set 'M
entirely from the servants we have
here in America. They via*e ^elr
services personal; their interest in
their employer's affairs is personal,'
whereas the American servant regards J
it impersonally. \ -9
I "In Palestine, if I were to tjell my ' $
I house servants that there would be
ten people in for dinner, they SKjmld , .
be delighted. It would be a matterstt
personal pride with them that thelr^^
dinner was the l"-st to lie had, and
J their sendee, too. They would be
happy at tin- thought of working for
| a mistress who had so many friends B
that she could get together ten at one
time. There would be no sulky looks
| or actions at the extra work; every ' BH
servant would co-operate and the dinner
would go off grandly. B
"Here the mention of an extra guest B
or two creates a feeling of resent- B
ment. I know people who do not dare 1
to Invite a dinner guest until they
have obtained permission from their
cooks. Cooks in Palestine consider B
extra guests a compliment to their ji
art. The servants in Palestine would
ten times rather work for Americans
than for the native population. The ;.s
reason is not alone that we will, pay J
higher wages?we treat them better.
For one thing. American women do M
not swear at them, and native women
do. They All down every kind of B
I curse on the servant's eyes, and his t|]
children, and his grandchildren; they
say the most untranslatable things as
a matter of course. It is not in the
least unusual, it is quite au fait, for
an Arab woman to swear so."
Servants in Palestine may be differ- B
ent, but a woman is a woman the world ' ,J8
over, Miss Metheny says with Kipling '*1j
and other authorities.
"Once in a railroad train," she says,
"I was sitting in the same compartment
with an old native woman. In
the East there are separate carriages
for men and women. In our coach
there was a particularly pretty girl, V^^B
and from time to time a jruuijg juut '.VSM
llsh or American man passed through,
watching her. My old woman was aB
kneeling on the seat with her aboes
off, praying. In order to pray toward
Mecca she had to kneel crosswise on /
I the narrow seat, and the rite ti jj j
, bumping her head on the floor sev- 5
eral times In each prayer was an '
acrobatic feat under such cireujnstances.
Every time a young man Jfl
came into the carriage she had to
struggle for balance while she pnlled /?
; her veil down over her face. Flnglly
she spoke to one. "My son," she saM, '
"do you not know that you have no
right In here with the protected onee" . ^jAA
(women)?
He apologized, and she raised her
veil when he went ont.
"You know," Khe said to me in Ara|
blc, "if I had any teeth left I would fl n
not pull down my veil. I only do it flBBcg
that people will think there la a alee *
face behind it."
