the people of America this winter is
of an economic rather than of a mili-
tary character. It wiil be carried on
by the Red Cross in France, its pur-
[ pose being to relieve needy cond’Lins
in the hoines of French soldiers who
jare in winter quarters in the trenches
: at the front.
! “It is felt by the military officers
• of both nations that nothing could
do more to keep up the morale of
the French soldiers during the coming
winter than to bring comfort to wom-
en and childiren at home. The sol-
’diet’s knowledge that this family is
’ being well cared for will take a great
h ad off his mind and hearten him to
stand up against privation which
otherwise might break his spirit and
r» nder him of no phy sical use.
"Maj. Grayson M.-P. Murphy of
the Red Cross, General Pershing and
General Petain of France are working
in unison to perfect the plans for the
relief of families of soldiers, the mil-
itary commanders believing that it will
conducted by Miss Marriner of the
Delineator’s field force, must be
classed as one of the most patriotic
of the many worthy’ enterprises now
being put on under the general cru-
sade of "conservation” that is sweep-
ing the country.
One baby out of every seren in the
United States dies before it is a y ear
old. Half of these deaths can posi-
tively be avoided if proper community
health safeguards are established. To
reduce these ghastly’ deaths from one
in seven to one in fourteen or less
is the noble aim of Miss Marriner. who
has instigated the campaign to make
Austin a healthier, happier and more
wholesome place in which to be born
and raised. The mothers clubs of Aus-
tin are helping her.
It is to be hoped that the movemen
will be pushed to a successful con-
clusion, and meanwhile that the people
of this city will give their assistance

hearts of the several hundred women,
who had heretofore thought of the
scholarship as a mere fund. Hence-
forth they will see at least this young
girl as a picture with a promising fu-
ture setting, who has been enabled to
find her position in life through this
affectionate provision.
Miss Wherry has met some obstacles
in her pathway at the university, sho
confided in a heart to heart talk dur-
ing her Waco visit.
"I wouldn’t look for them.” she
bravely said “I think you can im-
agine things to make you unhappy if
you are looking for them, and I would
not permit my imagination to act. I
wish to say that the university faculty
and the most of the student body dur-
ing my two years at the university,
have been exceedingly kind to me. My
duties were numerous, but I did them
cheerfully. I don’t regret one single
sad moment that has been mine in
working my way through the univer-
sity. together with the wonderful help
of the federation scholarship, for the
joy of being here, of meeting and
knowing the women of this state who
have made it possible for numbers of
girls to secure that priceless gift, an
education, through the federation
scholarship.'*
And what of the young lady, her
hostess. When Mrs. J. L. Landrum,
mother of Miss Parks, notified her that
she had been placed on the program
for a talk to the club girls on girls’
day at the Cotton Palace and instruct-
ed her to drive over with a guest, she
at once planned to have Miss Wherry.
Knowing that her friend was a schol-
arship girl of the federation, she could
think of no greater pleasure than to
present her to the federation, which
would be in session Her plans were
unfolded to her mother with the result
that both girls returned Wednesday
to the university, the happiest in the
state
Miss Parks enjoys the distinction of
being the youngest high school teacher
in the state, having taught latin last
term in the bishop high school, en
affiliated school with the university.
After concluding her work in the uni-
versity she will complete full course
in a well known automobile school,
having been complimented with a
scholarship in that school.
Miss Parks was her own mechanic

mother to New York uity and return
