Colors Save the Ego*.
We have heard a great deal abort
protective coloration in nature, an 4
when we consider the advantages
which accrue to protectively colored
eggß we may wonder why some eggs
have remained pure white through the
ages, why others are of the most con
spicuous greenish blue, and why still
others stand out by their spotted or
speckled patterns, says the American
Forestry Magazine. White eggs are
for the most part laid by hole-nesting
species, of birds like the owls and
woodpeckers, and since the eggs are
well hidden In their dark cavities it
h#s not been necessary for them to
develop protective coloration. The
bright greenish blue eggs of most of
the thrushes, for example. mt:st he
hidden In nests which are concealed
In dense vegetation and the speckled
i eggs of the ground nesting sparrows
I depend for their safety upon the good
| hiding of the grass-woven nest.

HOUSEKEEPER i
NEEDS THE VOTE
—
I
BaKot Is Necessary to Protect
the Home Under Changed
Conditions.
WOMAN'S VOICE IS NEEDED, i
Housekeeping today Is not what It
used lo be.
One hundred years ago our great
grandmothers spun the cloth and
"made the clothes for the family. They
employed the family cobbler for a
week at a time, who made shoes for
the year from leather cured and
tanned on the premises. They baked
the. bread, churned the butter, cured
the meat, and made the candles; in .
short, housed under their roofs all
the activities that ministered to the
necessities and comforts of the family, i
Today all these processes are car- j
ried on outside of the home. The
shoes are made in factories, the
clothes go through the sweatshops,
the meat is cured by big companies, !
the bread is made at the bakeries, :
and the butter comes from the cream- i
eries.
Instead of living in houses open on
all sides to the sun, we have the tene
ment house; instead of water directly i
from a well or spring, we have piped
water; instead of the simple problem
of letting the small amount of gar
bage decay in the sun, we have the
vast problem of a city's disposal.
All of these matters of food, clothes,
housing, water and garbage are sub
ject to legislation. The state has taken
the place of the parents. The question
of regulation of all of these matters
so vital to a housekeeper is one of
collective opinion, expressed by the
ballot.
JUNIOR ivZD cross
ACTIVE IN EUROPE
Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek ba lies, car
penters' tools for Czecho-Slovakian
cripples —these are only a few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving a fresh start in life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans' homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in Al
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm spools up and
down the peninsula of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chil
dren from the Inadequate shelters of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months in warmer parts of France.
At the same time thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can
teens.
American school children have al
ready raised something like a million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns of ed
ucation, the Junior Red Cross Is help
ing to combat widely prevalent blind
ness and cholera.
RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Bst lor timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion of the 20,000,-
000 population of the Balkan States
■sight hare starred or perished from
disease or exposure. Six million 4oi
lars worth ef food, clothing and medi
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans—Roumsnla, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
—since the beglanlng of Red Cross re
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states. .
The money expended by the Red
Cross In this stricken portion of Eu
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile'medi
cal units and to help In the general re
construction of devastated areas. Amer
ilcan tractors and other farming Imple
ments have been sent to the agricul
tural regions where aid has been giv
en in plowing the land.
By the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. By that time, It
is believed, the people will have ap
proached fi normal state of living and
will be o.Me through their own agencies
j which the Red Cross hns helped set
! up to provide for themselves.
