“LITTLE GREY SWEATER
MIRACLE WROUGHT BY AMER
ICAN WOMEN. AL?ANIAN
CHILDREN CH’A?{GED.
“There is one symbol of America
before which every American feels a
mingling of pride, affection and devo
tion—the red, white and blue banner
that an American woman sewed to
gether hastily long ago, when a new
ideal was being born in a few scatter
ed settlements between the Atlantic
and the wilderness. There is another
symbol of our country which no Amer
ican. who knows Europe today will
ever forget or fail to feel reverence
for. It is the little gray sweater knitted
by some American woman at home and
worn today by a child somewhere—
apd everswhere—in Europe, writes
Rose Wilder Lane in the Philadelphia
Fublic Ledger.
I think the American woman who
has made it does not understand what
it means. She sits on her own porch
in the summer afternoons, or with
some of her iriends at a Red Cross
chapter meeting, sewing or knitting,
chatting about affairs of the town and
new recipes and latest books, while the
little garments grow under her fingers.
And she packs them in boxes and
sends them away to somewhere in
vague Europe, where children need
them. She knows they mean clean
clothes for dirty, half-naked little
bodies, starved and crippled by a war
the children are not old enough to
understand. She has turned a few hours
into comfort for a child she will never
see, and so she goes home to her own
children with a more contented heart,
and thinks no more about it.
Changes Whole Life.
One thing that she has done is to
change the whole intimate life of the

oldest and most interesting people in
Europe. In the interior of northern Al
bania, among the wild mountain tribes
to which, before the..war,-only one
foreign women had ever penetrated,
the little garments that American wo
are making are carrying a new
irs:%fxflundreds of children are teach
ing their families new, strange things
and hundreds of women are keeping
house and taking care of their babies
in a different “way,
The whole next generation will be
different and better because the Amer
jcan woman made the little grey
sweater. For the first time a foreign
influence is really changing a people
that have resisted change for more
than twenty-five ccqturie’?.
| There is an American flag over the
'tall, carved wooden gate that opens
on the court yard of the “Children’s
‘Clearing House” in Scutari, but it is
lthe gray sweater that has taken Amer
iica_into darkest Albania.
| When Miss Cleveland, of the Red
{Cmss, came into Scutari, Albania had
‘been at war almost continuously for
‘twelve years. Turkish, Montenegrin,
| Serbian, Greek, Bulgarian and Aus
trian armies had fought the Albanians
across them own lands. The fields had
‘been destroyed, the stone houses stood
fmoflcss and blackened by fire and hun
dreds slept in the streets of Scutar'.
'And Albania is still at war, north and
east of Scutari, with the Serbs, who
hold the lands of Kastrati and Ipek
and Kossova. Albania has been at war
always, north, east, south and west,
since the beginning of history found
her people in the Balkans. |
No one knows where the Albanians
came from. They were there when men
first began to make records. Greecc
took her goods and mythology from
them: Alexander the Great was born
of an Albanian mother; Rome called
the country Illyria and conquered her
sea coasts; the Slavs came down upon
her from the north eight centuries la
ter. But the Albanians held to the fast
nesses of their mountains, kept their
old customs and ancient tribal laws
and fought off all invaders until th-
Americans came with the children’s
clothing in their hands.
American Boxes Travel Far.
These boxes packed by women in
American towns had come across. the
Atlantic, acß%ss to Hranfce ang Italy,
across the Adriatic, up from Durazzo
to Scutari in 'mw&%i'ficks. crossing
rivers ‘on the most primitive of ferry
rafts. There were not many of those
boxes in Scutari, and there were
thousands of homeless children who
reeded clothing. Albanian children
used to wear clothing made entirely by
hand, from the wool on the sheep’s
back to the thick, beautifully braided
white trousers and skirts and little
jackets. Twelve years of invading
armies had taken the sheep:; twelve
years had worn the clothes to scanty
tatters. And the war had killed moth
ers and fathers and razed the stone
houses that had been home.
The children needed clothes, food,
baths, shelter, schooling; they needed
everything that would make over a
little, outcast, diseased, soul-devastat
ed child into a normal healthy being.
How Miss Cleveland did it I do not
know, but she avoided all the mistakes
she might have made. She opened the
“Children’s Clearing House.”
It is today a large stone building set
in big gardens that are surrounded, as
all Albanian city houses are, by a high
stone. wall. Kol Ndoya, a tall, old man
in tight black braided white trousers,
short fringed black jacket and barbaric
sash, guards the high gateway. Three
hundred children go past him daily;
they come in the morning, stay all day,
and go away to their refugee hovels
again at night. All day long they sing
theit~ songs and daily their native
dances in the play ground; they have
lessons in the school rooms that were
once the drawing rooms of an Eng
lish generalsrthey bathe under the
showers that were once part of an
army field bath house, afd their sores
are dressed in the small white dispen
sary. And every one of them wears
.the American garments that are so
carefully hoarded and thoughtfully giv
en out from fhe' small store room.
Leaves Clearing House.
As soon as a child is cured of his
war discase, fed and clean and happy
again, he leaves the Children’s Clear
ing House. He is entered in the Scu
tari public schools, and as long as he
goes to school every day and keeps
clean he can spend his free time in
side the gates. He always comes bacl:
for that. But his former place is taken
by another refugee child.
There is only on¢ inflexible rule. No
child can continue to come inside the
gate, no child can wear American gar
‘ments, unless' he keeps himself clean.
That is the rule which is making
over the whole of suorthern Albania.
For consider the .situation. These
children have mno "Més: they = live
‘crowded in old stables® or damp base
ments of wrecked and dirty barracks.
|They ‘have no soap, no way of heat
‘ing water, and no changes of clothes.
' (For there are not many American
garments in that store room, and there
are no other new clothes in all war
ravaged Albania.) How can-they keep
themselves clean? Could any of, us
keep ourselves clean in suci; condi
tions?
I do not know how they do it, but
they do. For there is always before
them the vision of the Children’s Clear
ing House, and they have always upon
them the pride of that little sweater
|or coat that some American woman,
|somewhere, has made.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES "POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
¥ oo s bt
“ITo’ feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to [re
vent its sponge-like pores from clog:
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician. |
If you get headaches, it's your liver.|
1f you catch cold easily, it's your ljver.
1f you wake up with a bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be
comes rancid, it’s your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery “eyes
‘all denote liver uncleanliness.! Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to”violent calomel, which is*a
dangerous,” salivating chemical which
camonly be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be
fore breakfast a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous day’s indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile - and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach. :
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sqll"you a quarter
pound, which' is:sufficient for a dem
onstration of howihot*water and lime
