RED CROSS SANTA T0 FILL SOLDIERS’ SOCKS An Old Fashioned Celebration of Yuletide for American Soldiers in France. | A Christmas tree in every ward of’ pvery American hospital and in every | hospital recreation hut in France! | Every wounded or sick American fighting man to receive two socks filled to the brim with fruits, nuts candy pnd smokes! These are the most interesting fea- | tures of a tentative Christmas celebra- tion program for the American hos- pitals arranged by the American Red Cross in France in co-operation with the commanding officers of our fighting forces in that country. Details of the plan to make Christmas as merry as possible for the soldiers in these insti- | tutions have just been received at Red | Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist- | ed men on duty at these places will | also share in the distribution of Christ- mas cheer. Because of the limited amount of available shipping space the Red Cross was compelled to aban- don its original plan to send special Christmas parcels from here to soldier patients in France. All the articles distributed will be obtained over there.. This is to be an old fashioned cele- pration in every sense of the word. Bvery soldier will hang his socks on the tree. The socks will be tied with red ribbon and in addition to the good- jes mentioned above will contain a handkerchief and ‘a card, on which will be outlined the services the Amer- fcan Red Cross is prepared to render our soldiers. Each soldier will re- ceive a sufficient number of Christmas postcards—unow Heinz designed by art- | jsts in the Red Crass service—to en- able him to write to members of his family and his frienas back home. The Christmas dinner, of course, will ! be one of the features of the celebra- | tion. After dinner there will be | musical entertainment, motion pic- ! tures and general singing. Equalizes Men, Creates Spirit of Broth- erhood and Takes Mind Off Busi- ness, Asserts Professor. | BENEFIT OF CHORAL SINGING | | Music gives utterance to something | within one which can never find ex- pression in words or acts, in the opin- | fon of A. I. Westbrook, director of music in the Kansas State Agricul- | tural college. Choral singing is of great benefit to a community. “Musie is of great advantage to men,” said Professor Westhrook., “It equalizes them, creating a spirit of brotherhood, and takes their minds off business. Tt gives them a new and different insight, which is accomplished not by singing the common popular songs, but by really good musie that ean be appreciated. : “the value of musie in bringing to- gether socially disorganized communi- ties kas never been fully realized. By choral singing, people in any one lo- ! eality can he brought into certain sym- pathy with one another. Wherever there is a neighborhood there is a chance for singing. A leader is need- ed who will select only the best musie. Where neighboring groups have been singing the same kind of good mus:e they will find in any large community gathering that they Lave something in eommoir and will be ready to take part In choral singiny on an even larger scale, “If an orchestra playing Beethoven played in a community unused to such anusic, there would break forth from the audience an unrestrained applause such as comes only from people who are really hungry for good music—the kind of music that community musical societies will bring to them.” Portion of Covernment Allowance Re- guired to Bs Allotted for Benclit of Their Dependents. Every enlisted man in the wmilitory or naval forces of the United States must allot for the benefit of a wife or | ¢hild an amount equal to the govern- ment’s family allowance, with a maxi mum, however, of haif.his pay and a minimum of $15 per month, according to the American Review of Reviews. If he has no wife or child and makes no voluntary allotments for other de- ‘pendents, or for other purposes, the secretary of war or navy may require him to deposit with the government at 4 per cent compound interest half his pay, or so much of half his pay as‘he ‘does not allot either for &iis dependents tor for other purposes. This puts the man with dependents imore nearly on a democratic footing of equality with one who has none and the better-paid American soldier with the poorer-paid European with whom he is fighting. The family allowances are based on nn graduated sc¢ale depending on the ‘mber of dependents, and are condi- ied on allotments of equal amounts to half pay. In no case, however, 3 the allowance exceed $50 for one ily. An ordinary enlisted man re- | ving $33 per month indforeign serv- ion, if his family is 1a '~e ernugh, may required to alot $16.50 per month i secure thereby for his family a to- tal income of $6C.50 per month. .

The first man in England to brave public opinion by carrying an umbrel- la was Jonas Hanway, who died in London 132 years ago. The umbrel- la had been used for centuries on the continent and in England as early as the reign of Queen Anne, but its use was confined to the fair sex. After returning from a business mission to Persia Hanway's health became poor, and when venturing into .the streets in rainy weather he protected himself by an umbrella. He was subjected to jeers and taunts, but he persisted, and soon a few other brave spirits joined him in carrying umbrellas. The great- ' est opposition came from the hack- ney coachmen and they usually led the mobs which attacked the carriers of umbrellas. They feared the um- brella would afford sufficient protec- tion in rain and so deter the public from hiring their vehicles.—Ex.
