And later, to the teachers, from their scanty earnings and _ savings, they brought money that was to have been spent perhaps for candy and hair-ribbons, and sour pickles and one pair of hockey skates; offerings tha: suggested to the woman who had seen hungry children on both sides of the ocean—gold, and frankincense and myrrh. \ Campfire Meeting.

Nearly every large city in America is aff 2cted by the investigation ordered by the Food Administration. The problem involves costs in lubor, feed, and transportation, Farmers demand a fair price for milk. The distributing agencies ask a! fair profit for the service performed in bottling, pasteurizing, and delivering to’ the consumer; and the consumer wants a square deal. These are all perplexing economic questions which need most careful and. impartial consideration, ‘The farmers engaged in dairying must receive from the milk distributors: a price sufficient to meet the high cost of cattle feeds, labor, and materials. The distributors must adopt efficient means of distribution—cut out duplica- tion, competitive methods, and other factors which increase the cost of milk to. the consumer. There should be fairness to all concerned. Milk is the cheapest human food. Milk production must be encouraged; but dairymen will not re- inain in the dairy business at a loss. These problems of production and selling costs must be settled. The conditions brought about by the war demand read- justments in all lines of business and the business of producing milk is no exception. something about the Red Cross, and not consist of a very tight skirt be. rs i how it took care of, many children low a full coat, but it is in itself a giving gif's to each other, their equiv- Women” in’the hearts of the Ameri- satisfy the judgment was to come and soldiers and “hurt people’ who complete coatdress. lent in money was donated to the can public, who mingle tears and from.

That small white box was; there and some made as if to drop, in contributions. But one of them held! it up, and said, “‘No—no further gift is permitted here. We could not add to <his.” And in the presence of this gift to the American Red Cross from the home for crippled children, there was a sudden quietness among these men of the world. ' A woman who had done war relief work in France, was speaking for the Red Cross War Fund, last June, to several hundred school children in an , American public school. They were ? nearly all Jewish children in that par- ticular assembly room, and very poor. The woman had lived in a social settlement in the center of the Jewish district of the city at one time, and she looked at the rows of faces before her, she remembered with sudden vividness the almost forgotten scenes of ten years before—of little Jewish boys in the back room of a syna- B gogue, after public school hours, sway- ing back and forth concert as they shouted out long passages from the Talmud; of the girls in the sewing classes listening hungrily to stories, with their quick racial response to anything dramatic. .
