They want us to meet them and we want

"wise old owl" and "Green Eyes" Is a lovely
"puthy cat," while "Ursa" Is a "bear" and
"White Face" Is none other than tne "sly
old fox." And I'm not "absotlvely. pout

It's going to he a benefit affair (every

know, because no one entertains Just for
entertainment's sake) and this hsneflt Is a
sort of tvvoln-one affair, for It will be given

should bo helped In every way. I am going
to tell you what T know about them.
rpHB Southwark Neighborhood House Is
- at 101 Ellsworth street. The district has
a large and rapidly increasing Polish and
Lithuanian population. The Americaniza
tion of these two groups Is conducted
through the following activities of the
Neighborhood House. Classes in English,
Polish women's and girls' clubs and a
Polish-American club of men and women,
meeting on Sunday evenings, at which il
lustrated lectures on American life and his
tory are given. The president of this cluh
represents the Poles of South Philadelphia
on the general Liberty Loan committee.
And, by the way. did you know that Poles
of Philadelphia contributed more than
$400,000 to the third Llhertv Loan"
No Americanization work can be done
which Is so vital as that accomplished by
the social settlement, which touches all
phases of th family and community life
of the foreigner so you'll agree 'tis a
worthy cause.
rnHK Women's S. P. C. A. Auxiliary of

la doing a very good work. Animals of the
American army are Indispensable to its
success In warfare and the American Red
Star has been organized for their protec
tion. There are half a million horses and mules
In our army, and the Red Star needs money
If It is to bring relief to animals that
are sick or wounded and thus prevent suf
fering and great financial loss to he Gov
ernment. The United States troops are dependent
on these animals for the transportation of
food, supplies, guns and ammunition. Mo
tor service Is not sufficient for the work
or the Allies would not have gathered
four million and a half of horses and mules
for field service in the last three yearn.
Our Allies in France have a veterinary hos
pital every eight miles along the front;
shall the American army have less?
Dogs in the army haul light artillery, go
on guard with the sentries on duty and
detect the approach of any enemy before
the sentry. The war dogs search for
wounded soldiers, carry messages and keep
vermin from the trenches.
The Red Star will provide veterinarians,
ambulances, base hospitals, all veterinary
supplies and the contributions are applied
dlrtctly to this service.

FATHER and mother were very proud
of son and of the way he was working;
through college. Indeed, It was wonderful;
and so they thought they would surprise
the "darling boy" by arriving1 a day or so
before commencement. Therefore they
aald nothing to "darling: boy," but started
off on their little trip.
Now it happened that "darling boy"
roomed with a rather serious-minded youth
too, and these two young wiseacres had
been on a party at the (rat the night before
father and mother arrived.
In fact, the awful- truth must be told.
They often went on parties. They got
borne and into- their rooms at 7 a. m.
"Darling: boy" managed to steer for the
, bathtub and kind roommate removed his
"West. clothe and put on his dressing 'gown
while he waited for his turn to try soap
and water to help "get over It."
Upon this scene came father and mother
nt 7:30 o'clock. And you should have heard
them tell roommate how wonderful It was
to find him up and "darling son" already
In Ills tub. It showed how hard they stud
led. Why, at home son never got up till
he was fairly pulled out of bed. It cer
tainly was wonderful!
