Five years of famine hare resulted
Id greatly Increased mortality tndj
morbidity la Vienna which before the
war wus counted ai one of the health
test cities In Europe. Figures prepared
by Dr. CJuatnve Holm, head of the'
Vienna Health Department, show Uiat
In Iflta (ho death rate was 10.3 per
thousand. In 1018 the rate was 22.5
Iter thousand, an Increase of more than
7 per cent.
Professor flans Spel of the Uni
versity of Vienna, says that "even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics lire thoso referring to the con
dition of children and their mothers.
Owing to wider-nourishment few moth
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only Infants, but
all children In spite of !'. that has
Imcn done to help. At Professor
Clemens Plrquet's clinic In the uni
versity some M.810 children were ex
nmlned In 1018. Only 4,037 of these
or nhnut one-thirteenth were pasted as
Mu s:ood, fat good; 23,000 were pale
iiid thin, or very pnlo nnd very thin.'
''fhe health of these children shows
rnont disquieting features. Skin disease,
rachitis and narlow's disease nro rife.
"The chief medical officer of Vienna
nsks, 'What Is going to happen to these
under-fed children, In whose bodies the
germ of tuberculosis Is latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
It becomes active?' "
To combat these conditions the Amer
ican Relief Administration of which'
Herbert Hoover Is chairman fed last
winter In the city of Vienna some
BOO.QOO of the destitute and under
nourished children, supplying them
with a substantial meal of American
' fbo'd, served In a number of large
kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical of those In Poland and
other countries of Central fcnd Eastern
Europe. Last yoar the Itollef Admin
istration was ablo to reach some 3,500,
000 under-nourished children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
ing of a like numler, but eight of the
great charitable organisations of
Amortcn have united under tho name
of the European Itellef Council, of
which Mr. Hoover Is the chairman.
The child feeding task will be carried
on not only by the American Relief Ad
ministration but by the American Red
Crciss, the American Friends' Service
Contmlttee (Quakers), the Jewtsh Joint
Distribution Committee, the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ In
America, the Knights of Columbus, the

In 'raising the sum.
LAUGHTER OF CHILD

"Jn all the time I was In Poland, I
scarcely one saw a child laugh,"
declared Dr Harry Plott, discoverer of

Tuberculosis has become prevalent
atn$ng the Jewish chlldreu, largely
due- to the overcrowded conditions lu

Typhus, which killed thousands of

he said, as conditions are much worm

"Favus, a contagious akin disease,

Ukraine and children, with wide

every year, which vaccination would
prevent, but there Is no vaccine,"
Dr. Plots told how In Lithuanian

ANCIENT RACES PLAYED BALL
Tossing the Sphere Is Supposed to
Have Had Deep Symbolic Mean
ing Centuries Ago.
Although It Is a proven fuel that
the game now designated baseball Is
of modern and purely American origin,
the use of a ball tn ceremonies and
games goes back many centuries.
Pour thousand years ago, In the
twelfth Egyptian dynasty, a Coptic
artist sculptured on the temple Rent
Hnssnn, human figures throwing and
catching balls. A leather-covered bull
used In games pluyed on the Nile over
10 centuries ago, tins a place nmong
the many urcheologlcal specimens In
the Rrltlsh museum. It has u sewed
cover ami Is In u remcrknble stnte of
preservation.
The gume of hall wns prized by the
preeks as giving grace nnd elasticity
to the human tlgure, and they erected
n statue to one Arlstonlcus for his
proficiency in it. Ancient medical
practitioners vvcre wont to prescribe
a course of bull plnylng, where the
modern doctor would order a diet of
pills.
It Is supposed that ball tossing had
a deep symbolic meaning when pluyed
In the spring of the year; nnd that
the tossing of the ball was Intended
first to typify the upsprlnglng of the
life of nature after the gloom of win
ter. Anil, whether this wns the case
nmong the people of antiquity or not,
It Is n remnrkahle fact that the ec
clesiastics or the early church adopted
this symbol and gave It n very special
significance by meeting on Easter day
and throwing n hall from hand to
hand, to typify the Resurrection.
"TOTEM POLES" TELL STORY
Are Historical Records, and Not, as
Many Supposed, Idols to Be
Worshiped.
Au art In sculpture not resembling
any other art In the world, unless pos
sibly thnt of nnclent Mexico, Is found
highly developed among the aboriginal
nnthes of the northwest coast.
Their material Is always wood, and
Is furnished by huge trees from the
forest, which nre carved Into the
most fantastic shapes. In this style
nre sculptured the so-culled "totem
poles," which, often of great size and
height, astonish the observer by the
Intricacy of their workmanship and
the weird Imaginativeness of their
complex designs.
Early missionaries In that part "of
the world mistook the totem poles for
idols. As a matter of fact, they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldic columns. Each tribal clan
has Its own traditions nnd myths
which takes the place of history, mid
these nre symbolized by the wctrnor
dlnarv birds and (other animals, some
times human faces or figures, caned
on the totem poles.
Thus the Rear clnn will have Its
heraldic column topped by the sculp
tured figure of a bear. The raven
shows up conspicuously ns the totem,
or crest, of the Raven clnn ; the whale
for tho Whale clan, and so on.
To the unversed n totem pole would
have no significance beyond Its queer
ncss, but It Is In reality a whole story
carved In wood.
Power of Poise.
Poise Is power. The man who Is
not muster of himself under nil comll
tlons cannot feel the assurance, (he
power, which Is the right of every hu
man being to experience. He Is never
sure of himself, and the man who Is
never, sure of himself Is never wholly
at ease. He Is not even well-bred, for
good breeding implies self-control un
der all circumstances
There is, perhups, no other thing
which Is so conducive to one's physical
and mental comfort, efficiency, happi
ness and success us u calm roltid. When
the mind Is unbalanced, by anger, ex
citement, worry, fear or nervousness,
tlw entire body is thrown out of har
mony. All the functions are deranged ;
the man or woman Is not normal, und
Is, therefore, whatever the situation,
at a complete disadvantage, wholly un
able to contend with It. Orison Swell

Elevator Rope in Coal Mines.
One of the uiost impressive things

tons, nnd It will wind In the rope with
Its load at a speed of nearly 00 miles

when the r't Is a deep one, like the
Yorkshire Main colliery's, wlmse ver

by going down nearly 1,000 yards, nnd

GREAT ACTRESS KISSED POET
Sarah Bernhardt Made Her Meeting
With Longfellow an Event to
Be Remembered.
When Surah Bernhardt enma to
America In the seventies sculpture
wns her "side line." As soon us she
arrived In Boston she expressed a de-
sire to do the bust of Longfellow, says '
the Christian Science Monitor. Long- i
fellow, however, though not Insensible '
of the honor, declined. He said that '
he was about to leave for Portland,
Me., and feared thnt Mine. Bernhardt
would have departed before his re- '
turn. Then, to mltlgnte the curtness
of his refusal, he asked the tragedienne
to his home, Inviting Wllllnm Dean
Uowells nnd Oliver Wendell Holmes to i
meet her.
They became very amiable toward
one another, nnd Longfellow, who
spoke excellent French, praised Mme.
Bernhardt's performance of "Phedre,"
telling her she surpassed' the grent
Rachel, whom ho hnd seen f0 years
earlier. The actress, not to be out
done, told the poet how much she en
Joyed reading "ninwnthn," which she
pronounced Hee-n-vntore.
Evidently the affair of the sculp
tured bust did not raukle, for on her
departure, n the poet and his other
guests were escorting her to her car
riage. she turned nbout suddenly, Im
pulsively threw her arms nbout Long

The site of St. Mnrk's church Is the
oldest church site In New York and
has been consecrated to religious service-
for 200 yenrs. Peter Stuyvesnnt,
the Dutch governor of New Nether
lands, erected the first little prlvute
chapel in 1CC0. He nnd his wife, Ju
dith, were buried undernenth the chap
el. In her will she left the church to
the Dutch Reformed Church of New
York, providing thut the tomb be pre
served. The building was ullowed to
full Into decay until 1793, when Petrus
Stuyvesnnt, a great-grandson, proposed
to the vestry of Trinity church that
an Episcopal church be erected on the
site, the cornerstone of which wns laid
In 1705 nnd the church completed May
0, 1709. The steeple was added In
1829 nnd the porch a few years later.
Since 1830 no material changes In the

Identically the same as It was one

Amber as Medicine.
The medicinal uses of amber have
recently been discussed, and It Is
somewhat curious to find the belief In
the curative virtue of amber neck
laces, In cases of cold In the head,
still seriously held In China. One
correspondent reports such a cure In
tt case that had refused to yield to
any other treatment, and attributes It
to the action of amber so worn on
the inucuous membrane. Another goes
only so fnr ns to suggest that since
nmber had apparently a curative val
ue ns used Internally by the old physi
cians, Its use In necklaces had a ra
tional basin "according to the views
once in vogue," which Is reasonable
enough. 1 1 K A L NOTICES
