SAFEGUARD RED CROSS EMBLEM
Geneva Convention Urges It's Sup
pression for Comm erc.aI Ises.


preston for Commercial Uses.
Antiseptic barber shops. pharmacies
and patent-medicine manufacturers
throughout the United States will be COM
PEELED to cease using the red cross as a
trade mark, if the convention agreed upon
at the recent international Red Cross con-
ference in Geneva is lived up TO in every
detail by this country This convention
provides that each of the signatory coun-
tries shall do all in It's power to bring
about legislation preventing the use of the
Red Cross insignia for any sort of COM
mercial purpose.
1t was suggested at the convention that
such laws be put into effect within five
years. When the reincorporation of the
National Red Cross was effected in 1905
the act passed by congress provided that
no person or corporation not lawfully en-
titled to use the sign of the Red Cross at
that time should thereafter be permitted
70 use it for the purpose of trade or as
an advertisement of any article. Conse-
Quently officers of the American Red Cross
say that the use Of their insignia by per-
sons or corporations which were not au-
thorized to use it in 1905 is in direct
violation of the law. The punishment for
the offense. the act provides, is a fine of
not less than 81 nor more than $500, or
imprisonment for not more than one year,
or both fine and Imprisonment. All lines
so collected are TO be paid to the Ameri-
can National Red Cross.
At the time of the reincorporation of
the American National Red Cross it was
not thought advisable to attempt to en-
force retroactive act which would in
terfere with the persons or corporations
then making use of the symbol of of the
organization for commercial purposes.
Nearly all other countries have carefully
safeguarded the insignia of the Red Cross
and rne United States is said to be the
chief offender in the miscellaneous. use
Of the emblem created for the special pur-
pose of protection in time of war to those
who are caring for the sick and wounded.

No Counting for the Tastes of Some Water
 terbury Felines.
 The cat has been accused of all kinds of mischief, but until now 1t never was charged with being destructive to things in common use about the kitch- en. For some time past woman claims that she has found it quite ex- and although she tried hard to find out and although she trie dhard to find out what was getting away with them she didn't get at the source of the trouble until the other day, when she heard a strange noise in the night time and got up to investigate and, to her great surprise, detected pussy feeding upon the twigs of the broom. The woman has been keeping house for years and always maintained cat or two, but never before knew one of them to ac- quire fancy for diet of that sort. Talking of this incidental lady in an- other part of the town is authority for the statement that she spent several weeks trying to catch what she SUD- posed to be a rat that had damaged q sealskin sacque but later on discovered that the cat was the real culprit. What made her all the madder was that hav- ing so much confidence in the feline she used to shut it up in the wardrobe in the hope that it would catch the rodent in the act and put it out of business Of course this was what the cat wanted, but after it was found out it had to look up another boarding house. ..
