The forest Ores which hare raged la Idaho and other western sections this year have presented a serious disaster -one of a number, in addition addi-tion to the enormous drought relief problem, which hare been met by th American Red Cross relief force. Suffering, faith and courage are contained In a story coming from the Priest River section in Idaho, told by a TOlnnteer Red Cross worker work-er as follows: 1 "Picture A Sappy little homestead near the banks of Priest river In ' northern Idaho. While father, with a little son tagging at his heels. Is out tending crops and adding to the clearing, mother Is at home making preparations for another arrival. Then comes the Are demon, sweeping sweep-ing all In its path. While rather lights to protect his little home, th stork announces It arrival. "Mother and baby ara bundled in a cuilt and loaded on a truck for the race through the flaming forest. Father drives the true' and the little lit-tle boy sits at hie mother's sKle, brushing away the sparks which fall like rain open the improvised Utter." Ut-ter." To tha Red Cross worker, the mother expressed her anxiety to return to the bills to rehabilitate tha little homestead. All they possessed was lost in the forest fires. Tha Red Cross aided all of the families and Is working to help them rebuild their homes. Altogether seventy-nine disasters called for Red Cross help and money during the year just closed. Aside from the drought, which required services of volunteer workers numbering num-bering more than 60.000. ana a drought relief fund of more than 115,000,000, of which J5.000.000 came from the national Red Cross treasury, treas-ury, help was given In 22 fires, 13 tornadoes, eight storms and eight floods, six forest fires, four earthquakes earth-quakes and tour mine explosions, three typhoons and three epidemics, two cloudbursts, and one each hur-icane, hur-icane, mine cave-In and railroad accident ac-cident Aside from a major catastrophe, such as the drought, when the whole public was asked to contribute funds for relief, Red Cross relief In these disasters was met from the organization's organ-ization's funds and from special local lo-cal contributions.

Fearful and Wonderful, These Colonial DUhea The "good old days" of our Colonial Colo-nial ancestors had many culinary sigh points, the contemplation of which leaves the modern American gasping. Even the simple mealtime meal-time beverages were given twists and turns that threw them out of all semblance to the cocoa, tea and coffee which today's housewife prepares pre-pares with such perfection. Chocolate drinks, now among the most popular of all soda fountain beverages, fared the worst at the hands of the Colonial dame. Her favorite variation of this delicious wholesome drink was to put several sev-eral links of sausage into a kettle of chocolate and then boll it Honored Hon-ored guests were served with bowls of chocolate In which bits of sausage sau-sage floated. This bit of refreshment refresh-ment was eaten with a spoon. Incidentally the cocoa and chocolate choco-late Industry got Its impetus soon after the Boston tea party. Up until un-til that time hot chocolate had been served only on state occasions. Our forefathers and foremothera, too, were particularly addicted to boiling tea in an iron kettle, draining drain-ing off the liquid and serving the remaining "herbs" buttered, under the guise of a vegetable. The remaining re-maining "tea water," as it was called, was then consumed without milk or sugar, simply to help wash dow n the "greens" Ugh I Fanatical Moslems in Frenzy of Self-Torture Beating their breasts, scourging their backs with chains and cutting their scalps with aword blows, crowds of" the Shiah sect of Moslems Mos-lems In Basra and other cities keep alive the memory of a great tragedy. trag-edy. Fourteen hundred years ago, in a battle on the plains of the Euphrates Euphra-tes at Kerbala, the forces of Hus-saln, Hus-saln, grandson of the Prophet Mahomet, Ma-homet, were exterminated. Year after year the defeat is publicly pub-licly mourned. Loud chanting is heard, punctuated by the rythmic beating of their breasts by parties of 15 or 20 men, stripped to the waist, who surround their leaders. The grief symbolized by the breast beaters Is repeated by the chain beaters. These ascetics lash themselves with a kind of cat-o'-nlne-talls made of chains. In the holy cities, during the first nine days of the month of Mohar-ram, Mohar-ram, the swordsmen parade the streets and work themselves tip to the climax on the tenth day. They form up in huge circles, chanting and shouting their formula formu-la of grief for the dead Hussaln. Each circle moves round in quickening quick-ening rhythm until with a delirious shout the leader brings his sword down on his own head. That is the signal for all to follow his example.
