Best Kind oir Kiay la Work.
One of the- best kinds of play Is
work. Many of the elements of piny
enter into work If It is performed in
the rljfot spirit 'i'lie most Hitlsfylns
forms of play are those in which inter-
est is excited; competition with desire
fo succeed and accomplish some defi-
nite end makes the frame worth play-
ing. Work is fatiguing arid distaste-
ful when It is lucking In these ele-
ments. Nature ' Outwitted.
The man who Invented the pewlng
machine achieved what he was after
when he slopped trying to imitate the
human hand. If you go Into a factory
you will see machines doing things
which ouly human skill could do but a
short time ago but the processes are
quite different from the manual meth-
od. The inventors have lisen superior
to the formulae that nature would
Eeem to have laid down for them.

CARING FOR HOMELESS THOUSANDS
FROM RUINED VILLAGES OF FRANCE
That "Somethmg-of-the-Spirit" Which the Devastating Hun Could
Not Crush' Out of the People Makes Them Quickly Respond
to Help Given by the American Red Cross and the
French Charitable Agencies.
By MARIAN DONSALL DAVIS.
When you walk between rows of
destroyed homes in Ihe ruined villages
of France you always find something
left among (lie wreckage that speaks
Intimately to your own ln-art. It may
be n broken ilower pot v.'th dried roots
silll clinging; an linage of the Virgin
still standing in lu-r oval niche In u
fVannent of a wall; a baby's broken
cradle; a twisted fiarden tool. All the
bayonets and 'Incendiary torches 'and
guns of the Invaders have not been
able to ei'tHi out something of the
Spirit which lingers there.
And they have not been able to crush
it out of i lit? tragic processions of
tho homeless as they are driven hither
and thither sometimes us slaves by
their onniiuerors; sometimes to flee
where they will from violence and de-
struction. Seine day us you walk
briskly on an errand through the
streets of Paris you see a group of
them coming in slow-moving bewil-
dered. There is a terrible intimacy
about this sight ninl most of all about
the little ones who have seen hideous
things and are too young to know that
they are not a common part of life.
Who Is going to take care of them
and their mothers and these old bent
people who are such a detached tri-
lling part of France's million uud a
half refugees?
For three nnd n half years France
lias been doing the best she could as
they poured in endless streams from
Belgium and from all the Invalid dis-
tricts of France while she had to pit
her strength against that pushing Ger-
man line which would have surged Into
Paris through any break. But every
day they came In greater numbers lost
and helpless from beautiful villages
and towns and cities that now aro
heaps of ruins. F.ut that something of
the spirit was f?till not crushed out
it responded to the sunlight. Geniuses
like Monsieur Peltier and Monsieur
Mil-man and the man who meets every
train that comes Into Eviun with the
repatriated knew this.
Red Cross Co-operates.
The French commission of the
American Red Cross with the $100-
.100000 war fund behind it on its ar-
rival In Pails consulted with the
French government how it could best
help. Awl the glory of the American
lied Cross is the principle of co-opern-lion
it established there and by which
it. works. The iir.-;t thing it did for
refugees in France was o make Itself
the co-operator and never by any
chance the rival of ail Ihe exist-
ing agencies ollieinl and nimollicial for
their welfare. It put a giant of 5000-
.100 francs (about $1000000) in the'
hands of the French government for Us
refugees. And it began to find or pre-
liare decent lodgings lor the thousands
upon thousands of them squeezed into
Paris attics.
There had been wonderful initiative
hariicteristietillv French in many
rases in meeting these prpourings of
the homeless. The case of Monsieur
Peltier and a group of gendarmes (who
oiTespond to our policemen) Is one
;if the great stories of the war. Here
it is:
One day it was early In the war
the gendarmes of Iwo arrondlssenieuts
ur wards in Paris received an official
telegraph that about 1.800 refugees
would arrive tin; next morning for
them lo take care of. So! no provi-
sion no money no roof no place to
put them no anything but 1800 of
them nevertheless due to arrive the
text morning and t heir responsibility !
Mousler Peltier the chief of one of
Ihese wards called n conference.
First money! These gendarmes or
policemen put each a baud in his own
pocket and product d tv.o francs; and
alter the conference they to'd the
iinall shop keepers along the streets of
their wards and tiny added to this
iioolei! sum for the slart-off. Fvery-
lie's two francs tin the table there
.os" the uu.'sikin of lodging. That
.vas the rub. Finally someone timidly
-mggested (lie huge building that had
' ceit in i'.asaei' il;.. a Seminary for
iirbsts. in the famous old fc'iaf? of
st. i-'-ulpice. A part of it was being
e.ed tor a museum. That iptestioii

It Is a shifting popli! ien. t.f course
and thousands who have passed
through the Secours de Guerre have
become absorbed in the farming ;o-
incts of the .-sn.it It. or in v.orklug com-
munities. With all of the refugees who
have been absorbed into the life and
work ol a community the prohlrni is
settled temporarily. Put what of the
more than ll!.'i.'KHi crowded into Paris
attics who with the 2i ceu;s daily
provided by the govern it tiuot
pay rents und live decently?
For them the Red Cross has become
xpert In bouse limiting. Nothing In
h way of u possibility escapes them
Hid now and then they brre a tremen-
lous ilnd like the big model tt-ae-nents
at 02 Rue Leibnitz and In the
Avenue du Maine that bad to be left

Completed with Red Cross help these

lersons representing 4L'0 families.
Monsieur Peltier made a city within

iian prefect of the district of Melinite-it-Moselle
made a city within a great

And there is still another kind of ref-

'lie cross; yet sometimes ending at lsi
in (he human happiness of reunion;
more often in sorrow again after that
I ni mn t i - thrilling moment when they
re-enter France after long exik" in the
hands of the captors. These repatri
ated from Germany Belgium and in-
K..1()ed parts of France are brought
hack through Fviaii. ITere the lied
Cross has established hospitals and
dispensaries to care for those too weak
to go farther and to segregate and
care for those with infectious diseases
thus preventing the spread of ennta-
jrion throughout Franco.
So the lied Cross works. Wherever
hard-pressed guardians of French civi-
lization whether official or not are
unable to grapple successfully with the
tremendous problem which these end-
less streams of refugees bring them
then the Ited Cross stands ready to
strengthen their efforts with American
money and American service. .
SNAKE WENT CRAZY
Frightened a Whole Town and Bit
a Dog.
A mad snake scare has prized the
town t.f Kichneld Pa. us a remit of
Ihe biting of John Watt's dog by a rat-
tler recently. The dog showed al-
most all the symptoms of a develop-
ing case of rabies. The bite became
very sore swollen and painful.
I Snakes have never before been so
restless In these parts as now and.
'owing to the biting of Walt's do;.' the
i natives are catching all they can find
roaming at large and ore confining
i them for observation to determine
j whether they have hydrophobia.
Henry liaird. foreman at the Hawke
pnuarry caught an 11-foot black racer
the other day and is keeping him in
an abandoned whisky barrel. If be
acts queerly Henry will chop off the
head ami send it to the anatomical
laboratories for analysis.

GAS USERS

COAL FUEL
I idustrifs Using Oil or Gas Riusl Depend
oil Coal This Year; Create Big-
ger Demand
A(1n Okla. Max..'.. That many In-
dustries In Oklahoma tviiicli have
been burning gas or fuel nil In pa--!
years will this year have to depend
upon coal Is the Information that
.oiiies to the office of P. A. N'orris
federal fuel administrator for Okla
lionia. Tin's means tlial them will
be a. demand within the state for
coal greater than ever before. When
it Is remembered that (lie Oklahoma
!. lines must not ouly furnish mor.t
of tlie coal for this ritale but must
furnish a greatly increased field out-
side as. a. result of the zone system:
one can appreciate how creat a de-
mand upon the. mines and operators
will be made.
'I lie labor situation is also causing
much uneasiness among the coal
men. The draft has taken hundreds
of miners from the fields of the
Homliwest and Ihe .thousands of men
to go to camps lliis month and next
will take hundreds more. Already
valuable time bus bebn lost. March
was u poor month for production the
luck of order:! fori lag several of tho
r.:im"i to lose down. One operator
evplains liie s.Iliiail.oii thus;:
"We will no! be able to materially
Increase production for the rea-ion
(hut v.e launot. obtain .labor to man
the mine! and in view of this as I j
see P. we (';niiot. slate Die ea.-e too
strongly to the steam plan!;; of Ok- !
lahoma. Texas and Arkansas and cer-j
takily it is to' Ihe individual finan-
rial interest of each industry that it I
put in reserve supply as rapidly as '
the mines are able to furnish it. it.
is only by doing this- and hedging j
against the possibility of a single j
('ay's idleness because of lack of I
slac k orders' or mine run orders that i
a famine of steam coal this coming
fall and winter will be averted."
The Increased demand for Okla :
homu coal the shortage ot labor nnd
the unheard of shortage- of coal cars
and motive power of tile railroads
means not enough coal next winter !
unless every minute is utilized now.!
