THE .POOR OLD WORLD The proneness of some Individuals to Interpret every \mysterious sign\ as forecasting the end. of'the world Is shown again by a woman In Michigan and a number of her neighbors. The woman in question claims that one of her hens laid an age on which was the Inscription: \The End TVill Come After Five Days.\ Instantly It wo* assumed' by .the owner of the hen that th© latter was giving warning that the end of* the world was at hand. While it Is contended by some that the inscription looks to be the work of some joker clever with a knife, sup- pose that Mjhe egg were so marked when laid, why\|ump tcLtlws conclusion-that the inscription, .if it means anything, refers to the world ? Think of the countless other things to winch It might refer! Why was it not assumed that the message had something to do with the hen herself? Maybe, disgusted with her inability to bring,down the high cost of living by Industrious lay- ing she has made up her mind to lay off work and let things go to the bovv- •J <* «Ji * «^~*\«£^~<|r~ wows .

Andrews is the chairman. In every church, in the district there', was distributed literature, entitled \Because. I t,lve, T4 shall live also,\ In which the conditions of the Armen- ian children, was depicted, and an ap- peal was made for help. The effort here Is for the subscription of sufficient funds for the adoption of 18_ of the 250,000 orpfians now being cared for under the direction of Near East Re- lief.
