i § H A 4 o €= FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1919 PAGE ELEVEN NO WARS AMONG CHILDREN |AWAKES FROM LONG SLEEP Yeungsters of Various Nationalities Play Peaceably Together in Public Grounds in Lithuanian Town. Whatever may be the differences that keep their parents apart, little Lithuanians, Russians, Jews and Poles are playing happily together in Kovno, Lithuania, in the public playground and garden established by the American relief administra- tion European children’s fund, ac- cording to word received at the or- ganization’s New York headquarters, 115 Broadway. Early in the morning 250 chil- dren gather in the playground and remain until six at night. The younger ones play all day and are provided with nourishing food by the administration. The older ones work in the garden. The greater part of the garden work has been done in the morning. At first the poor underfed children could not do very much, for they did not have the strength, but after a few weeks in the open air, with proper food, a marked improvement was observed. All activities are under the su- pervision of a matron and some women helpers. The children get but one meal a day, as the number of needy is too great to permit of more. DISCRIMINA- TION. I Dbelieve in peace at any price. SodoI butl have a lingering suspicion that it's better to be the one who fixes the price than the one who pays it. SEARCH. RLVER IM DIVING BELLS. Forming the bottom ot the deep pools along the Vaal river in south- ern Africa are virgin diamond beds which will shortly be the scene of unusual mining operations.

The output can- uot keep up with orders, even with vetired workmen recalled to their benches. It is perfectly obvious that the peace conference, when it set about creating new countries forgot to notify the supreme economic council of the resulting strain that would be placed upon the silk hat in-. dustry.—Nation’s Business. PARIS FORTUNE TELLERS. A profession which has flourished during the war and which is more prosperous in Paris at present than at any time is said to be that of for- tune telling. An official estimate puts the number of thought-read- ers, mediums and psychic prophets of the unknown who live and prac- tice in Paris at 35,000. ‘r HE DIDN'T MEAN THAT. “When the lights went out in the restaurant somebody kissed me.” “By mistale, perhaps,” he sug- gested.

Paae < ‘| the, superintenden; Little Tewn of Koenigstein Has a Brief Resumption ef Military Glory of the Past. On the great main route between Frankfort and Cologne, the little town of Koenigstein has enjoyed. an un- usual, though not unprecedented, mil- itary importance this summer, owing to the fact that General Mangin has made it his headquarters. The de- struction of its fortress, the building of railways and steamships for the Rhine, all these had shorn Koenig- stein of its one-t’ e importance, and during the last 15v years, but for the bustle and laughter of the periodic holiday-maker, the little town seems to have fallen asleep. Through gently rising and falling country, past gar- dens which are a colored tangle of climbing geraniums and other flowers, the traveler comes upon Koenigstein. And Instantly his atter "lon is arrested by the great ruin, silent, misshapen, upon the hill, forcing upon the pres- ent, inexorably, the memory of the past. Here owing to the treachery of one of his messengers, the French general, Meunier, surrendered to the Prussians in 1792; here the French returned four years later in triumph, only shortly after to destroy and then abandon their little city encompassed by its powerful walls, lest the ap- proaching enemy should once more intrench himself there. Today, in times of peace, a great French soldier walks beneath the shadow of the fortress, while his men in their pic- turesque azure uniforms, climb incon- sequently about its shattered terraces and through its broken doorways. HELPING FRANCE TO REBUILD Californians Responsible for the Erec- tion of Model Village in the Devastated Region. Anyone acquainted with the mar- velous recuperative energy of France will hardly be surprised at the pace with which she is rebuilding her waste places and desolate heritages. Less than two years ago, along the banks of the Marne, all was ruin and desola- tion; where once had been thriving villages, not one brick stood upon an- other. Today, houses amidst their neatly planted gardens are springing up everywhere, and the peasant is to be seen once more serenely at work in the flelds as though during these past years he had known no other setting for his labors than this silent, peaceful countryside. One thing he has gained from this destruction and building up again. The dark, incom- modious, often dilapidated home of the past has been replaced by a com- fortable up-to-date dwelling. Among the most remarkable of these post- bellum French villages is one in the department of the Meurthe-et-Moselle, which has been w. ebuilt under women, architects and designers. An ideal model village, artistic, orderly. practical in its extreme simplicity, this little homestead is held in great esteem by its inhabitants, who are de- termined to prove themselves worthy of so attractive a setting. Going “On High” in a Flivver. Going to heaven “on high” in a flivver has come to be a fact rather than mere fancy. At least the feat has been attempted in effigy. This cu- rious ceremony took place recently in Tientsin, China, says the Kansas City Star. It is a custom among the rich in China to burn various effigies at the funeral ceremonies. The effigies rep- resent every manner of thing from animals to tables loaded with money. When the wealthy Mr. Li died the fam- ily ordered an imitation of his car burned at his grave. The effigy, which was constructed in detail, with Chinese paper and reed and bamboo frames, was carried through the streets for more than three miles to the grave side. The effiglal auto, upholstering, tires, and even the effigial driver, were consumed by the blaze in a few minutes. New Minister. The new minister, who was rather young, and five-year-old Marian be- came great friends at sight. And Mar- fan was not impressed much by his ministerial dignity even at church. The other Sunday when he went home with them for dinner she was delighted. The little girl from next door came over to see the visitor. “He's the min- ster at your church—isn't he?” she asked. Very decisively Marian shook her head. “Oh, no; he’s just a nice boy, who sometimes cemes to our house and eats a whole lot and sometimes goes to our church and talks a little bit,” was the reply. — Indianapoli§ News. Country’s Leather Industry. The leather industry ranks as the third greatest manufacturing industry in the United States. According to the census of manufacturers for 1914, about 250,000 persons are engaged in the leather industry of the United States, some 55,936 of whom are in the tanning and leather trades, the re- mainder being principally shoemakers and harness makers. First Principles. “What's your theory of collective bargaining?” “Seems to me,” replied Farmer Corntossel, “pretty much like the plain, old-fashioned lawsuit. The side that kin get the smartest legal talent to represent it is mighty liable to get the best of the deal.” £ Californian: PR b e i S SIS by B i AR e N e S e e N A B it Sl Bl IS AT R st e A it el e A O O < SR N0 0 S . o2 with 12 per cen% on our books.

LAHR Phone 93 Markham Hotel Building large barn, 9 price, $1,600, Howard Payne's Great Song. The song “Home Sweet Home” was written by John Howard Payne, and was {ntroduced by him into the play “Clarl, the-Mald of Milan,” which was later changed into opera. At the time of the wr}tlng of this lyric, Payne was almost starving in an attic in Palale royal, Paris. Most authorities agree that the music of the song is a Sicilian alr, adapted by Sir Henry Rowley Bishop. Less Arable Land. There are today in England 700,000 fewer acres under clover and rotation grasses than In 1895, and 600,000 acres fewer of other land under the plough. There are thus 1,300,000 fewer acres of arable land in England today than twenty years ago. Can Hire Wedding Presents. In Paris there are shops where wedding “presents” can be hired.
