cnn woman, she hns come to this couu
iry'nnd entered Oberlin College.
With her came fourteen other Arme
nlan girl* In cliarpe of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwlght, a Nenr East Relief worker
who has been Instrumental In helping
to save hundreds of thousands of their
people (ran death by starvation. Miss
Dwlght, who is not given to exagger-
ation and has seen conditions at first
hand, says more than a million people
are facing death by atarvation in Ar-
menia and will perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the siaugh
ter of kaadreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and a vic-
tim of the deportations, Mlaa Dake-
aian, an uasnally pretty girl, say*
tbere Is aatold suffering In Armenia
and Syria. She praisea ttoo efforta of
the Near East Relief, formerly tbe
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many of
these people as possible. At Erivan,
tbe capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot aieal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone tbe city's death rate
has been cot from a thousand dally to
an average of twenty. At Alexandra
pol, where Hie refugees from Turkish
Armenia were driven by thousands, tbe
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian
says. It Is to avert these .wholesale
deaths that Near East RelleMs making
a nation-wide appeal for funds.
BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop of All in Con-
stantinople Being Made Into
Good Citizens.
American Boy Scout training Is aid-
ing prominently In the rehabilitation
of hundreda of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized Into a scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
of one of the most troublesome prob-
lems that confronted the Near Eaat Re-
lief workers In tbat city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parenta and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
•teal or do almoat anything to eka out
the barest existence, these boys had
completely loat their moral sense when
they finally found refuge In the Near
Bast Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad In raga for
to long tbat they had forgotten how to
take care of clothes. This waa a tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need of
every pair of shoes and of every ault
of ciothea for new boys constantly com-
ing In.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniform*
They began to be careful of their
school clothes aa well aa of their unl-
i forms.
* They had been so often hungry they
bad come to steal without compunc-
tion. When they flrst entered the or-
phsnages they continued to stesl. Ono
* boy stole a puree from hla American
teacher. Tor two or three weeka after
be became a Boy Scout he was obvious-
ly uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse ln"hie hand.
-I don't want to give It back." h
•aid reluctantly. "But I have to. Ti
a Boy Scout now."
To form more scout troops xa trans-
form these little unfortunatea Into
rood cltlsens. Is one of tbe reasons
why tbe Near Eaat Relief. 1 Madlaoo

Whether it's a business block—or a chicken
house—there is economy, and protection against
fire, rats, weather and decay in using
Building* constructed of Interlocking
Tile cannot be destroyed by fire. Mois-
ture cannot seep through in wet
weather. The air-insulated walls give
protection against cold in winter and
h£at in summer. And they will last for
generations with practically no qpkeep
expense.
Interlocking Tile can also be used for
many improvements around present
buildings. An addition, or small
garage for instance- Or if your home
is on piers, build an air-tight wall of In-
terlocking Tile between them and keep
the cold winds from under the house in
winter.
