Children Chief Sufferers in Land Stripped of Necessities, Says Relief Worker.
Poland Is In the destitute state for want of food and clothing among the poor that Belgium would have been during the war, had there been no commission for relief In that country, according to Dr. Vernon Kellogg, American Belief Administration official, who recently returned from Warsaw. Dr. Kellogg was a member of Mr. Hoover » staff In Belgium, ami at the conclusion of hostllties. entered Poland us the Hoover emissary In charge of food relief. He first entered Poland in 1915, a few months after the German occupation. His report of starvatlon, disease ami suffering that existed at that time Is one of the most harrowing documents In the records of American relief work overseas. Dr. Kellogg made the following statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
“With Warsaw as our headquarters, we began operations In Poland In Janunry, i;il9, and within a few weeks there was established a steady Importation of food Into that country. Ton* and tons of tt came from overseas through the Port of Dautlg. "It waa Impossible to do all that
the administration wanted to do, be-
cause the need of Poland was too great, to the matter, was the origin of ahak
ULU SlbN LANGUAGE.
Movements of ths Head Date Back '
To Primitive Ancestor*.
Nodding the head to indicate “yes" \ and shaking It to indicate "no” are habits that are almost universal in the human family. Did you ever notice that when you nod "yes" you are inclined to open your lips, and when you shake your head to express “no'' you naturally close your lips firml> and your teeth set closely together? Watch yourself and others in using this sign language and see If this Is not true. t 1 We are told that this nodding and shaking of the head date back to a very early period in the history of the race. They have been Inherited from our primitive ancestors who lived in trees and caves neighbors to the lower animals, only a little more wild and
savage than themselves.
The affirmative nod is traced to the practice of the young in those far-off days when the mother brought them food. If they were hungry their i mouths would fly open with a quick ! thrust of the head—just as you have seen tn the case of the young of rob Ins and other birds This signified acceptance of the food—answered “yes" to the question Implied by the mother when she held the morsel
temptingly before them.
If It happened that the babies were not hungry—which was comparatively rare, we surm'se—they kept their mouths closed when the food was offered them and to avoid having It thrust willy-nilly Into their mouths turned their heads from side to side This, say those who have Inquired tn

“But In addition to theee four million people who so presolngly needed relief, there woa another <*11 for relief from a source that could not be re slsted: the children of tho land. Many of these were orphans, hungry, emaciated, destitute and dlsensed. So the American Relief Administration added to Its work by instituting a system of feeding these children. In o few months a million and a quarter Polish children were getting a free meal every day of special food prepared to counteract the effects of their previous
undernourishment."

But as the days went on the young women at the Oaks began to consider seriously the tragedy of Miss Lampark’s coming and the bachelors to grow impatient. They yearned with ths. fickleness of the masculine for the tew charmer to appear. Mrt. Dampurk achieved real popularity, because if the young men could not see her daughter they could at least hear about her from her mother. ”1 don’t know how I’ve got along all these weeks without Hermione,” Mrs. i ampark would sigh. The bachelors liked that name, Hermione- it was so different from '.he tiresomclv ordinary Kates and Gertrudes and Marys. "She is so much company for roe. She’s not like most young girls who went waste time on their mothers! Hermione is just as jolly and fascinating alone w ith :ne as she would b- entertaining a roomful of people.

It destroys a girl’s charm to have her -elf conscious and proud of herself!” “Too bad some other mothers didn't feel the same way,” said young Till man afterward, watching a group of .he pretty and fluffy young persons who with their parents abided at the Oaks. "Those girls there haven’t un eunre of superfluous sense among '.hem all.
