PAGE SIX 120,000 STAND IN BREAD LINE More Than 1,000,000 Face Death Is Message Brought by Miss Dakesian. Imagine a bread line of 120,000 fam- tshed people walting for twenty-four hours a day for the dole of food that s the sole barrier between them and death from starvation. That is the gitoation in Alexandropol, a city in Russian Armenia, according to Miss Hermine Dakesian, a pretty Armenian &iTl, one of the survivors of four years Mis8 HERMINE DAKESIAN. of the horrors of Turkish massacres and deportations. Saved by an Ameri- can woman, she har come to this coun txy and eatered Oberlin College. 'With her came fourteen other Arme- mian girls in charge of Miss Adelaide 8. Dwight, a Near East Rellef worker, who has been instrumental in helping to eave hundreds of thousands of their people from death by starvation. Miss Dwight, who is not given to exagger- atlen and has seen conditions at first hand, says more than a million péople are facing death by starvation in Ar- menia and will perish unless America alds. Herself an eyewitness to the slaugh- ter of hundreds of helpless women and children by the Turks and a vic- tim of the deportations, Miss Dake- siap, an unusually pretty girl, says | there is untold suffering in Armenia and Syria. She praises the efforts of the Near East Relief, formerly the American Committee for Armenian and lyrlaq\ Relief, to save as many of these people as possible. At Erivan, the capital of the Armenlan republic, ene hot meal is given out daily, and by this relief alone the cify's death rate bhas been cut from a thousand daily’ to an average of twenty. At Alexandro- pol, where the refugees from Turkish Armenia were driven by thousands, the situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian gays. It is to avert these wholesale deaths that Near East Relief is making a pation-wide appeal for funds. BOY SCOUTS IN YOUNG ARMENIA Strangest Troop of All in Con- stantinople Being Made Into Good Citizens. American Boy Scout training is ald- fng prominently in the rehabilitation of hundreds of little Armenlan boy refogees from the Turkish massacres, who have been organized into a scout troop in Constantinople as the solution of oge of the most troublesome prob- Jems that confronted the Near East Re- lief workers in that city. Hounded and driven for four years, baving seen their parents and relatives slaughtered or worse by Turks and Kurds and themselves forted to beg, steal or do almost anything to eke out the barest existence, these boys had completely lost thelr moral sense when they finally found refuge in the Near Wast Relief orphanges. The boys had been clad In rags for o0 long that they had forgotten how to take care of clothes. This was a tragedy ‘when the Near East Rellef had need of every pair of shoes and of every suit ef clothes for new boys constantly com- ing In. Then the boys were organized as Boy Scouts and given their uniforms. ‘They began to be careful of their school clothes as well as of their uni- forms. They had been so often hungry they bhad come to steal without compunc- tlem. When they first entered the or- phanages they continued to steal. One boy stole a purse from his American teacher, For two or three weeks after be became a Boy Scout he was obvious- By uneasy.. One day he came to her with the purse in hig hand. “I don't want to give it back,” he sald reluctantly, “But I have to, I'm a Boy Scout now.” “To form more scout troops to trans- florm these little unfortunates into geood citizens, IS one of the reasons why the Near, East Relief, 1 Madison avenus, New York city, is making its appesl for funds, THE BOOMERm. The “booster” or the “boomer” or whatever you may choose to call him has his various ways. It’s a political ambition, sometimes, that he nurses along, or a winter resort, ot a tonic void of alcohol but tasting like it, or even a book. One such confides to us that during the last two years over 300,000 words have been written about a certain author; of these such and such a percentage were disyl- lables, trisyllables, polysyllables and the like. Of that strangely mis- called public utility, the street car service, millions of words have been spoken in the same time of which close to 100 per cent were mono- syllables, the same beginning’ with a “big, big D.”—Louisville Herald. Lizards Victims of Curiosity. Little boys of the Orient often cap- ture lizards by catering to their curios- ity. When one of them sples a lizard i that has scurried into a crevice he makes a slipknot of colored straw and holds it before the hole. After a time he is rewarded by seeing the tiny crea- ture coming out to examine the curi- ous thing before its den and later It actually puts its head into the noose, which is quickly drawn together by the watchful boy. Takes No Chance en Bad Luck. Many peoples belleve that ill luck will be the portion of a child who cuts its upper teeth first, and there are one or two African tribes who so firmly be- lieve this that in order to spare the child a life of misery, they promptly kill any child whose upper teeth ap- pear first. Another tribe sees bad fortune for every ome in twins, and avoids it by slaying them all. | THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Bit of Ancient Hiatory. According to old Anglo-Saxon chron- Icles Edward the Confessor made a verbal will. On January 5, 1066, he re- covered his power of speech and talked with those around him, among whom were the queen, the archbishop of York, archbishop of Canterbury and Harold and Tostig, his nephews. He prophesied the Norman invasion and then, stretching out his hand, be- queathed the crown to Harold. This act was ratified by the ancient British parliament and Harold was crowned l the next day.—Exchange. CHOICE. “T'11 tell you, old man, Peggy 1s & LUCKY bright girl.
