The Toothbrush in Serbia. The photographer arrived at the American Red Cross orphanage at Belgrade just when some newly arrived children were studying these posters. The posters are in every part of the orphanage grounds and in an attractive colorful way they show the advantages of using a toothbrush, of sleeping with the windows open, and other rules of hygiene. The posters are much more effective in convincing the children than lectures or rules. Toothbrushes were unknown in Serbia, except among a few traveled people but these children are growing up disciples of a new national standard in personal hygiene. The American Red Cross dispensaries in Serbia promote the use of toothbrushes also, and the custom of cleaning the teeth is gradually gaining ground

There are nine holes, each one an airport near Washington. The play flies to the first airport, tee #1 and from a minimum height of 500 feet, drops the ball, attached to a parachute, to the nearest pit or hole, indicated by a red flag at the airport. He then lands his plane, finds his ball and proceeds as in every game of golf, to hit the ball into the hole with his golf clubs. This done, he tunes up his plane and flies to the next airport or tee #2 and repeats. Every player is required to carry a score-keeper.
