Tho party, replete with unsual

room was decorated with jack o'lari
terns, flags and bunting. With domi
nating prominence, in the center of

provided tho do luxo novelty of tho

out flow a "baby angol."
Eighty dancers participated in tho

vided by a colored "Jazz" band. In
tho midst of all tho festivities tho

LIQUIDATES DEBT TO FRANCE
In Sending Prune Trees to Devastated
Country, California Is Repaying .
an Obligation.
California Is generously sending a
million and a half .two-year-old pruno
trees to help In restoring the French
orchards, nnd enough seed beans to
plnnt GO.000 ncres. Cnilnda is under
taking the planting of thousands ot
Cnnndlnn tim. lcs In France. It is
pleasant ulso to know that there Is to
bo no Inck of outside help for tho dev
astated towns, observes Christian Scl
enco Monitor, In stating these facts.
English and American architects aro
at work on plans for new buildings to
repluco those razed by tho guns, both
In Belgium nnd In Frnnce.
The Indlnnapolls News sees senti
ment in tho prune trco transaction. It
says : "Theso trees nro expected to con
vert 15,000 ncres into bearing orchards
In two years. It wns Franco which, in
18f0, gave to California her first
pruno trees. The prune, which slnco
then has illlod many a gap on the table
of tho American boarding houses, and
hns borno the bruut of many a Jest,
keeps right on proving ItEf worth."
Troops Suffered From Thirst- "
Somo of tho hardships experienced
by tho HrHlflh forces In Palestine nro
described In a letter received by a

letter, written shortly beforo the fall
of Jerusalem, tells of a day early in
November when a camel convoy from
Ileersheba wns unnblo to reach tho
men then fighting for the doltvornnco
of the Holy City from tho Turk.
"Thero wns a hot wind blowing,"
wrote tho priest. "A tumbler full of

Hps wero split nnd covered with a

Tho latest proposal for tho elimina

Includes, what for n better term Is
called, communal feeding. Tho com
munal kitchen hns been proposed on
jovernl occasions but, savo for a few
spasmodic experiments, It hns not been
given n thorough trial. Lord Ilhonddn
Is interested In the now proposal and
acting with a committee of soclnl

women doing war work and with con
sequent neglect of household duties,

generation Is not to suffer seriously in
health.
War Helps Chinese Industry.
Tho European war nnd consequent
cessation of Imports of German aniline
dyes Is bringing nbout a revival of
Chinn's ancient industry of indigo
making. China's fondness for tills
color has earned for her tho nnmo of
tho Lnnd of tho Blue Gown. Indigo
growing Is especially adapted to tho
Yangtze valloy and southern China.
Tho color is extracted by soaking tho
