' (By Mail.)— “‘American chickens mdke life a little gayer in France,” the peasants here say, regarding the efforts of the American Committee for Devastated France to aid the stricken people of| the Aisne district. And they meant .it, too, for the proud clucking of hens and the lord- ly crowing of roosters are the first sounds that greet the tourist when he visits the war-torn villages of the Aisne valley. For the American com- mittee has really carried out its slo- gan to “re-chickenize” France. American dimes and quarters re- ceived here daily are going into the - fund@ to put ‘“pep” in the poultry business in France. In the last three inonths women wearing the French blue uniforms of the Committee for Devastated France distributed 8,- 461 chickens throughout the 100 towns in their charge.” In addition they have established two chicken farms in the interior of France, cap- able of producing 2,000 chickens a month for use solely in the davastat- ed regions. Following the policy of the Ameri- can committee to aid and not to pau- perize the people of the Aisne, the chickens are sold at half-price, the present rate of sale being 10 francs. Money sent from America makes up the remainder of the cost price. In- a number of towns down on the front. 5 Besides chickens, Americans put 1065 goats in the Aisne—to furnish milk for war-babies—1,500 rabbits, as well as ducks and cows, to furnish food and giye a business start to many a French “Tom Sawyer.” Rolling stores on trucks carry sup- plies to towns where no stores are open, no doctors present, and no bu.ildings habitable other than tem- Paying Federal Officials.

When they are paid in cash they receive crisp, new bills, as does nearly every one who lives in Washington. Albinos. The term “albino” was originally applied by the Portuguese to negroes found on the coast of Africa, who were mottled with white spots. Now an albino is defined as a person having a congenital deficiency of pigments of the skin, hair and eyes. Albinos occur among all races of men; in extreme cases they have a skin of a milky Jury of Thirty Women Approve a I.qve'Mai"r'iaga T. LOUIS.—When George E. Carnes, sixty-eight years old, who lives at the Memorial home, 2609 South Grand avenue, an institute for old folks, asked Mrs. Annle Waite, fifty-five, also living there, to accept him in ‘marriage, Mrs, Waite, by the rules of the instifution, . was compelled to refer her suitor to the board of directors of the institu- tion, which deliberated the question and gave its consent. The wedding took place on a Sun- day afternoon at the home before nearly 100 other inmates, Rev. William E. Wheeler of St. Mark’s English Lutheran church officiating. Carnes has been at the home 18 months'and his bride two years. Both have been married before, Mrs. Carnes’ former husband having died at the home. It was a love match—Carnes and his bride admit it—and the board of directors, consisting of 30 women, sit- ting in solemn session, affirmed and approved it. The courtship of Carnes vegan several months after Mrs. Waite's husband died. With due modesty she actepted the attention and shortly thereafter Carnes popped the momeatous question. Mindful of a rule of the institation and having no stern parent to approve his request, Mrs. Waite said: “You will have to obtain permission of the board of directors.” QOarnes then asked the advice of Mrs. C. R. Springer, president of the board. She asked him if he was sure he loved Mrs. Waite, and that infatuation or fascination had not prompted him to propose the marriage. Carnes was sure it was true love, Mrs. Springer said, but she told him to think it over for a few months. That time elapsed and Carnes again appeared before Mrs. Springer to press for approvai. Mrs. Springer then laid the matter before the directorate, which formally went into session on the subject with the result that love was triumohan’ by a unanimous vote. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————— s _———————— Third Street Cafe Business of Criticism.
