Helps You Help Starving "Invisible Guest" Certificates on Sale At Local Express Office at Northwestern Station. "Invisible guest" certificates, which can be purchased for any amount from $1 up, are on sale at the local office of the American Railway Ex- press company, Northwestern sta- tion. With the action, the local office takes its place among the numerous agencies throughout the country co- operating with Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief council, in his efforts to raise $33,000,- 000 by means of a national collec- tion for the relief of incipient star- vation among 3,500,000 children in the war-stricken countries of central and eastern Europe. Through the authorization of G. C. Taylor, presi- dent of the American Express com- pany and the American Railway Ex- press company, the "invisible guest" certificates have been placed on sale at 25000 of the company's offices throughout the United States. The cost of saving one child until the acute condition has been relieved by the next European harvest is $10, but donations of smaller sums are welcome, and a contribution of only $1, under the economical administra- tion of the council, will keep life in a little body for a month. The small- est donations are encouraged among the employes of the express com- pany. Russia is rapidly developing vast mineral riches.

But--here's a new one. ; Paul Gouglemann, 630 Central ave- nue, Wilmette, whose avocation is raising fine leghorns and uncommonly attractive pigeons, stepped into his barn Wednesday morning, He heard a peeping way up in the rafters the pigeons call home, climbed the lad- der and, behold, was greeted by he strange sight of a terribly fright- ened chick, just hatched, vainly at- tempting to figure out its strange mother, a large pure white pigeon. Gouglemann figures it all out this > OO Your Time Your Efforts Your Money way. A leghorn must have intruded into the pigeon domain some time ago and left only after depositing an egg. One of the pigeons assumed the - responsibility of bringing the chick into the world believing it one of her kind. The Gouglemann household has adopted the forlorn stranger as a family pet.
