JOHN REACHES PHILADELPHIA
Chlnea* Student "Stopped Over" in
New York Two Year*
▲ Chinese student, graduated from
the University of Illinois, walked Into
the chamber of commerce at Philadel-
phia recently and presented a letter of
Introduction from the secretary of a
Chamber of commerce In one of the
New England states. He wanted to be
placed In touch with certain manufac-
turers In the textile Industry.
Be gave an address In Boston, to
Which he referred as his home. The
letter of Introduction stated that he
•Was a resident of Bridgeport, Conn.
Bis attention was drawn to this and
to smiled and pointed to the date on
the letter. It was September 17, 1017.
"I stopped over In New York on my
here." he explained.
Like everything else, the modern
greenhouse Is a product of evolution.
It began In 'the seventeenth century
Voder the form of. glazed frames set
In front of a wall on which fruit trees
were trained to keep the sun's light
and heat within. Also later, to con-
serve the heat of a flue within the
wall. Then It became a room, with
Windows for the storage of plants In
Winter, like the orangeries at Ver-
sailles and elsewhere.
Gradually the windows grew larger,
but even up to the beginning of the
nineteenth century a roof was consid-
ered unnecessary, as it was believed
that glass overhead would allow the
Artificial heat within to escape.
As soon as It was discovered that
the roof could be glazed as well as
the sides without undue loss of heat,
the modern greenhouse came into be-
ing, the supports diminished to the
minimum required to support the
glass, and. us might be expected, the
latest thing In glass houses Is a steel
frame with the lateral supports almost
suppressed and with even bent panes
Of glass replacing the old-fashioned
eaves. Thus the greenhouse has con-
tinually traveled further from the
architecture from which It first arose
Now, How Old He Know?
He walked timidly into the shop
and bashfully Inquired of the clerk:
"Hove you anything suitable for a
present for a young lady?"
"Certainly," was the reply; "perhaps
you would like to look at some of
those silk Jumpers?"
The young man nodded, but when
the assistant Inquired as to the size,
he was hopelessly baffled. He gazed
about hi in hopelessly for a minute or
so, then, suddenly spotting a dummy
figure, a smile stole over his face.
Walking up to it he encircled It with
his arm.
"Yes; about this size will do, I
think," he said happily.
Used to Packing.
The tired looking man applied for a
Job.
"Ah," snld the brisk employer, "you
think you'd do well as a sardine
packer. Had any experience?"
"I should say I had," said the tired
man. "I worked for three years as a
conductor on the Tube."—London An-
swers.

Cornelius Mabie of Tappan, N. Y..
has Just celebrated his one hundred
and third birthday. Mabie told visitors
who called to pay their respects that
he was In the prin'.i of life, hale and
hearty, despite the fact that he was
totally deaf and partially blind.
In early life Mabie was a contractor
and built box cars for the Erie road.
He is still known by many railroad
men throughout the country. Review-
ing his life to his friends, he said:
"I had no aches or pains, and I have
enjoyed a very happy life. And I am
still happy."
Texas Caves Offered for Sate.
High rents and scarcity of houses
have opened up a new line for real
estate agents. Caves are now being
offered for abodes, an advertisement
reading: "Good cave for sale," having
made Its appearance in Wichita Falls,

ELDERS TAKE SECOND PLA&
Writer Asaerta That Spanish Children
Are the Worst 8poiled Young-
sters en the Earth.
W. B. Trltea, a writer, who recently
returned from Spain, was talking in
Philadelphia about Spanish children.
Spanish ?hlldren," said he, "are th«
worst spoiled, and Spanish parents the
most Indulgent, In the world. The din-
ing and reception rooms of Spanish
hotels swarm with screaming, frolick-
ing, fighting children, but the Spanish
guests smile Indulgently. A child of
six eats aa much aa It likes of every-
thing on the table, and accompanies
Its parents everywhere. At three or
four o'clock In the morning, the usual
hour for Spanish entertainments to
come to an end, Innumerable tiny tots,
exhausted, are bundled Into waiting
carriages by loving parents. If you
ask them why they didn't leave the
poor babies at home, they shrug their
shoulders and answer, helplessly:
They wanted to come.'
"I suppose the only reason one does-
n't see Spanish babies seated at the
cafes behind glasses of beer or whisky
is because they prefer their sugary sir*
ops."
Mr. Trltes smiled.
"An English newspaper correspond-
ent," he continued, "strolled through
the reception room at the Madrid ho-
tel at which I stayed, when a Spanish
mother said to a friend beside her:
"'That Englishman doesn't like chlfc
dren.'J^'
"'How do you know?' said her
friend.
" Because,' was the reply, 'iny little
Carlos went Into his room yesterday,
while he was out, to have a little fun
with his typewriter. The child only
played with the machine and sharpen-
ed the pencils on his desk with a razor
that was there. And yet I notice that
whenever the Englishman sees Carlos
now he looks cross.'"
The Floral Salute.
On the outer edge of the crowd
which awaited the comlrm of Edith
Cavell at Victoria station. I/ondon,
stood a fall, elderly lady in deep, quiet
black. Aloft In her hand she raised
a bunch of tall white lilies, holding
them as high as an officer salutes with
his sword.
Five, ten, fifteen minutes, through
half an hour of waiting the lilies were
held unfalteringly aloft In expectant
homage. It was only at the last mo-
ment as the cortege came Into view
that civilians bared their heads and
soldiers came to the salute, but
throughout the long, slow waiting the
white lilies were upborne without rest
or faltering by that fragile hand.
ALL RESOURCES TO BE
UTILIZED AT CLOSE
House-to-House Canvass Now Under
Way in Most Communit!
Encouraging Reports Are
Being Reported.
Wild Animal* in Banff.
Although Banff, Alberta, Is a hustling
village during the summer and is
thronged with tourists, wild deer from
the mountains are to be seen dally on
the streets and at night stately elk
leap from the roads In the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles. If
a Banff cottager expects to eat his own
"garden truck" he builds a deer-proof
fence around his patch. The grounda
of Brett hospital are open from the
street and the other night a half-dozen
mule deer made a raid upon the flower
garden. Banff Is the capital of Rocky
Mountain park, and shooting gams
within the park limits is forbidden by
law. The deer, being unmolested,
have become very tame, and even a
bear now and then pays a friendly
visit to the village. Not long age a
bicyclist, speeding down one of the
aide streets at night, hit a dark object
and turned a somersault or two before
he hit the macadam. Sitting up, ha
looked around and discovered a bear
hitting the trail for home as fast aa
four legs could carry him. Although
tame and sojmewhat obtrusive, ths
deer, elk aiyl bear do not relish too
close an acquaintance with man, and
have proved themselves to be not only
picturesque but perfectly safe neigh*
bora.' I HH
Was Out of Small Change.
Chen Chi Fat, wealthy Chinese Im-
porter and exporter of Panama and
Hongkong, was short of small change
when he proceeded to settle for the
transportation of himself, wife and
three children, who had been booked
to leave San Francisco for the Orient
on the liner China. He tendered a
certified check for 1300.000. When
General •assenger Agent H. N. Thom-
as asked If that was the only sort of
change he had, Chen exhibited another
check. It was for an even $,r>00,000.
Thomas never smiled as he asked If
(he patron wished gold In change. Chen
said this would suit him, but when
four men started to pull a big truck
from the Bank of Canton, Chen decid-
ed that a certificate of deposit would
be better. He has made a fortune In
Panama hats and is going to Hong-
kong to establish a new agency.
Vim is being added to the lied
Cross drive for memberships now
being conducted, by the diligence of
booth workers, teachers, women volun-
teer canvassers, Boy Scouts and many
returned soldiers, sailors and marines,
who have rallied to the aid of the
campaign, reports show.
Campaign officials In charge of the
drive at Southwestern Division head-
quarters at St. Louis announced that
while a few communities have fallen
below the mark set for them, in gen-
eral, enrollment in the Red Cross has
been heavier than had been expected.
Thousands of persons in all parts of
the Division—Missouri, Kansas, Texas,
Arkansas and Oklahoma—applied for
membership yesterday. The drive
which opened Sunday, November 2,
closes Armistic Day, November 11.
Chance of the Southwestern Division
equalling or exceeding its quota of
2,000,000 members, set as the num-
ber the Division is expected to raise,
is very bright, officials of the cam-
paign declared. Edward Hidden,
Division Roll Call Director, said that
people Were responding with a cheer-
fulness and a unanimity that made the
success of the drive seem assured.
Women Hard Workere.
Reports indicate that from the out-
set women have been enthusiastic,
indefatigable workers. That every
woman and child in every community
in the Division will be given an oppor-
tunity to enroll as a member up to
and Including November 11, is a late
announcement from drive headquar-
ters. House-to-house solicitation is
now under way in most communities
and encouraging results are being
announced daily from each state
headquarters.
"Our responsibility," Chairman Hid-
den said, "is to see that not one
available person fails to get an in-
vitation to Join. We believe that
obligation is being fulfilled and that
every man, woman and child who is
able to comprehend what the program
of the Red Cross means, knows that
they are not only welcome to the
Red Cross fraternity, but that it Is
a privilege as well as a duty to
link up with its membership. The
Southwestern Division" he continued,
"has always set the pace and the
enthusiasm being shown indicates that
we may lead the other divisions
again. I know of no greater honor
and privilege than to be a member of
the American Red Cross.
Clergy Endoree Roll Call.
"Clergymen all over the nation have
endorsed the Third Roll Call in un-
qualified terms of approval. Their
co-operation is regarded as vitally
essential to the success of the drive.
The church has the equipment in
organization, in buildings already fur-
nished, and in men and women already
trained in tasks demanding service
and sacrifice. The high standard set
by the church Itself and its splendid
record of work already accomplished
impels the Red Cross again to appeal

LOO OF AN AIRSHIP,
Find River Jordan Unclean.
Bathing In the River Jordan, famous
in sacred history, has lost Its popular-
ity as the result of the discovery by
American physicians that It Is a dan-
gerous disease germ carrier.
One of the first steps taken by the
American Red Cross unit reaching that
region was an analysis of the river
water, Red Cross headquarters here
has' been informed. It was found lad-
en with the germs of skin diseases and
other mnladles. There has never be-
fore been restrictions on bathing In
the stream, regardless of the physical
conditions of the buthers, but the rev-
elations of danger lurking in the Jor-
dan's waters caused the local author-
ities to place a ban on the unrestrlet*
ed bathing.
Up Against It.
" 'Like a fish out of water' Is a figure
of speech that expresses acute dis-
comfort," remarked Mr. Gadspur.
"Maybe so," replied Mr. Dubwalte,
thoughtfully, "but a fish out of water
Isn't much more uncomfortable than
an old line politician receiving a dele-
gation of fair but determined suffra-
gists."—Birmingham Age-Herald.

i to it to help make the Third Roll Call
■ the finest thing the American people
have ever done. The organization
is, without doubt, the greatest, the
most inclusive and the most efficient
charity the world has ever known.
I "Not all can volunteer for the
actual distribution of relief, but all
can have a part. All should be mem-
bers of this glorious army of armies.
The membership fee is only $1. There
Is no one too rich or too poor, too
old or too young, too proud or too
humble, to become a 'Red Crosser'
and wear the tiny emblem badge of
such as love their fellow men.
The President Issues Summons.
"The President of the United States
has asked every American to respond
and to his call has been added those
of every state governor and every
other high official in the country.
The necessity for the success of the
Roll Call is not underestimated by
these men, who know what the organ-
ization has accomplished and what it
must yet do.
"The newspapers have performed
immeasurable service in present-
ing the Red Cross message to the
public and that service has been re-
inforced by faithful endeavors on the
part of men, women and children
workers. We are gratified very much
over the work of these agencies and
I are very proud that our organization
has had the good fortune of com-
manding such devotion and loyalty.
"For the final days of the campaign
every available resource will be
thrown Into the 'firing line' in order
to assure the drive's ultimate suc-
cess."
