"A great net of mercy drawn through an ocean of unspeakable pain" L '. :-.<X.■ —w. > How Was the Last War Fund Spent? IT is a fair question—and it is fairly answered in the detailed and itemized reports that have been pub lished in the newspapers of every town and city of the land. i Von never saw it ? Then ask at the nearest Red Cross Chapter, or write, for the Red Cross wants you to know where your money went. I hey say that Red Cross supplies have a way of coming through on time. Italy surely has found us not wanting in prompt ness when her great trial came. And Roumania—they said no allied nation could get through to help her dire need. But the Red C ross found a way. It's not always a cheap way—"Needs must" costs money. But did you give that money saved —or to save lives? Are you not willing to pay five dollars or fifty to bring something of comfort to a war racked, tortured mortal who but for you would surely die? And of one thing you may be sure. Not one penny of that Hundred M but War Relief. '■ In the Red Cross there is no high salaried bureau cracy, no extravagant administration expense. All of the higher officials and nine-tenths of the workers are unpaid volunteers. " he cost of raising and collecting the last War Fund was about one-half of one per cent., more than covered by the banking interest on the money. * Your Red Cross needs another hundred million to lighten just a little of the awful load of misery "over there." Your share is ail that you can give—and then a little more. \ Will you hold up your endf j Production of Leghorns. The average production of eggs by j hens of all kinds and ages in the j United States is 85. Unselected White Leghorns, however, produce an aver age of 130 eggs for the first year, 120 for the second, 110 for the third, 85 for the fourth, and fall off about ten a year up to the eighth. These fig ures are from a bulletin of the Utah experiment station. If the first year production be low, the second will be high and vice versa, the total produc tion for three years being about the same. Knife Superstitions. The various knife superstitions are easily explained. It is unlucky to give a knife to a friend, because knives sever things, and might sever friend ship; but If he gives you a halfpenny in return the danger is avoided, for his gift is a token of continued affec tion. It is unlucky to place one's knife j and fork crosswise on an empty plate, ' because it invites crosses and misfor tune, also recalling the Christian sym bol of suffering. Dolly Dillon.
