In making the estimate as small as possible the sum considered as ap-! proximately sufficient to keep the! breath of life in the bodies of these homeless, helpless, starving masses was fixed at $5 a month, each. There are those who can live on less than! this in areas where industrial relief is being organized, while in other? regions several times this amount will be required. Figures compiled by the American organization, to whom these people are looking for relief,: show a destitute refugee body of 950.000 souls within the field of operation, of whom at least 9350,000 are within reach of the commission's agents and are therefore listed as ac- cessible.

What Every Woman Voter Ought to Know (By United Pres: LONDON, (By Mail.)—-Now that women have power to vote, their men- folks on the strength of hundreds of years’ start in the study of politics, jare giving them lots of good advice. Among their valuable hints are the following: Beware of Bawlsheviks! They’!l borrow anybody’s sealskin coat at the point of the pistol. Never vote for a eandidate who parts his hair in the middle. He is Sbviously unable to take one side or the other. | If your candidate asks you to give him a mandate, ask him: “What about a wonandate?” If you attend a political meeting nas a heckler, heckle the speaker the same way as you would your hus- band.
