insignia Of the Red Cross Society.
The latter bill was reported by Mr..
Gray (dem.) of Delaware, who said that
Miss Clara Barton several years ago
asked that the insignia of the Red Cross
Society be protected from those who
would use 1t from commercial or per-
haps fraudulent uses.
Under treaty entered INFO by a ma
jority of the civilized nations of the
world, the sign of the Red Cross is
known as insignia of hospital corps or
charitable organizations. Other nations
had protected the insignia of the socie-
ty, and the United States, it was
thought, ought also to protect it.
Another measure on which favorable
action was taken was a resolution
amending the senate resolution of May

presidents of the United States, to be
placed in the vacant inches of the SEN
ate chamber. The amendment provides
that the busts shall be placed in the
