JULIA WARD HOWE
Another Grand Old Woman Dies

Famous Author, Lecturer and Worker
Along Lines Which Elevate Human

of the Republic"

Boston.-Another of the grand old
women of the world passed away in
the death of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe,
FAMOUS as an author and lecturer.
Bowed under the weight of 81 years,
the noted philanthropist succumbed to
an attack of pneumonia. The end came
peacefully at her summer home, Oak
Glen, IN suburb of Newport, R.. [.
Julia Ward Howe, who will perhaps
be remembered best as author of the
battle Hymn Of the Republic" was.
porn IN New York city near the Bat
terry on May IL, 1919. Her father,
samuel Ward, Rhode Island man, was,
the grandson Of Gov. Samuel Ward, of
that State, who was a member of the
tlrst and second constitutional con-
crosses. Mrs. Howe's paternal grand
father was colonel in the revolution
ary war, and her paternal grandmother
was a daughter of Gov. Greene of
Rhode Island. Her mother was Julia
cutler, the grandniece of Gen. Francis
Marion of South Carolina, a. descend
ant OF the French Huguenots.
During visit to Boston she met
Or. Samuel G. Howe, a teacher of the
blind and a philanthropic physician.
They were married in 1S43, and Boston
became their home. She ably helped
her husband in his labors for the pub
lie good. They travelled much abroad.
Mrs. Howe had written altogether
many books, besides poems and essays,
addresses, and the famous Battle
hymn of the Republic" by which she
IS best known, and which she herself
loved best of all her literary works.
The story of the writing of the hymn
is familiar to nearly everyone 1t was
IN the first year of the Civil war, Just
outside of Washington, where she had
gone to witness a parade and had been
induced to speak few words to the
soldiers returning singing John

OF a common force pump working in
any portion of a long pump barrel oc-
cupies the second we'll, forcing the
salt water vertically on the down
stroke 125 feet to a 5,O0O-gallon tank,
above the ground. From this tank
the water runs by gravity to tanks
placed at intervals on the country
roads for miles around, and in the
streets of Santa Cruz.
A 35-foot derrick carries the guides
for pump and float, which are fastened
to the outer end of a 12-ineh round
timber so feet in length, the butt

small iron car wheels rolling on a
short track, and thus allowing the

A strong chain leads from the outer

float over two shelves at the top of
the derrick, suspending large barrel
in vertical guides at the side. To stop
the motor, the barrel is filed with wa
ter from a hose attached to a connec-
tion from the tank. The weight of the
barrel as it fills with water gradually
overbalances the float, raising it above
the waves. When it is desired to
start the motor again it is only neces-
sary to pull plug from the barrel.

years she labored conservatively and
ably to bring about the enfranchise-

Dr. Howe died in 1876, and in her
widowhood Mrs. Howe turned her life

RED CROSS SEALS
Novel Way Of Conducting War
on the White Plague.
row the Anti-TubercuIosis Campaign
Is Financed and "a Relief Fund
Raised by che Aid Of Little
Christmas Stickers.

New Iork.-Wars always produce a
new supply of emergency measures
for the relief of the sick and wounded.
It is not surprising, then, that the Civil
war, with it's hundreds of thousands
OF manned and wounded soldiers,
coupled with Yankee ingenuity, should
nave brought into existence the stamp
as means Of raising money for the
soldiers relief funds The scheme was
first instituted in Boston in 1862 at the
United States Sanitary fair, but so
successful was the idea that other
fairs In Brooklyn, Stamford and
Springfield, Mass, at once adopted it.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were
raised in this way.
So popular, however, did the stamp
become, that the public became sati-
ated, and soon after the war the sale
of stamps for charitable purposes fell
into dlsuse in this country. In Europe
the charity stamp was adopted in Por-
tugal for the first time in 1892, and has
been initiated with varying success in
almost every country on the continent,
and even in Australia and the Orient.
It was war that again brought the
stamp into national prominence in the
United States, but not war Of guns
and Of fields Of carnage. 1t was a war
of enlightenment against ignorance;
a war of cleanliness on filth; war OF
health against disease-the great
American war against tuberculosis.
While the Civil war, with it's slaugh.
ter and death, killed about 100000 gov
ernment troops in four years, and
manned perhaps twice that number,
every year that silent, subtle foe, tn.
berculosis, Stays 100000, and lays low
three to five times that number. A
war, therefore, against such an en-.
emy demanded and still demands am
munition and varied resources. To
furnish these necessary supplies fot
war, the Red Cross stamp was first
launched on a national basis by the
American Red Cross in 1908.
The year before, in 1907, the first
sale of stamps for charitable purposes
for more than a generation had taken

around Wilmington. A little group
OF women in that city, headed by Miss
Emily P. Bissell, who was allied both
with the Red Cross and the Anti-Tu.
berculosis society, instituted the plan
OF selling Christmas stamps, the funds
to be devoted to the local fight against
consumption. The idea had come
from Denmark. How the pennies ac.
cumulated in that first sale! And how
the dollars grew!
That experiment started the Amer
lean Red Cross to thinking, and thev
reasoned that here was war against
more devastating disease than any
war or pestilence that had ever been
known. Why not have an emergency
relief fund for use in this war in all
parts Of the United States, since the
enemy was everywhere? The idea Of
national stamp was therefore
launched in 1908, and with little or no
organization, over $135,0O0 was raised
for the fight against tuberculosis.
In 1909 more systematic attempt
to organize the sale was made. A per.
centage Of 20 per cent.-was CHARGED
by the American Red cross to each To-.
cal agent selling stamps, the sales az.
aggregating fully s25O,0OO. What is
even greater, this sale was the means

before Christmas to a greater or less
degree in almost every state in the
Union. "A Million for Tuberculosis"

sued and every indication points to the
sale of four times that number.
The United States postof1ce authori
ties have requested that the stickers
be called "seals" this year, and have
ordered that they be placed on the
back of letters and packages instead
of on the face. These seals will not
carry any mail, but every kind OF
mail will carry them.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States can help in this war. It
is not war that demands much sac-
rifice. Surely, anyone can give a cent
nickel or a dime for a few Red Cross
seals. Each seal placed on a letter or
package helps the one who sends it.
it helps the one who receives it, and
also the unknown one for whom 1t

IS the greatest wonder of the century, Yet the
alrman is impatient and his cry now is for great
er speed. In speed he sees the solution of his
greatest problems. Gradually it has dawned upon
MIN mat the air Is the ideal element for high
speed trafic-that through the air. before very
long, speeds will be attained which are NOS
s1ble with vehicles on land ships on the sea.
10 the makers OF engines the airman says, "Give
me more power, which spells speed" To the build
ers OF aeroplanes he cries, construct me planes
capable of the maximum of speed"
And the speed of aeroplanes has been creen;no
up. At first it was IS miles an hour Then came
40. Soon this was left behind. Round prepared
aerodromes a pace of IS and so miles an hour was
attained. Nor did the seeking of speed end here
With racing monoplanes rate Of SIS and 60 miles
an hour possible. Not satisfied with tb;s
pilots have added mile by mile, until the ,atest
record is sc miles an hour
IN response to an inquiry along this line an ex-
pert recently said: PERSONALLY believe that this
is only the beginning of the speeds that aero
planes will be able to attain. Some one was dis
cussing this vitality interesting aspect of airman-
ship with me only the other day. He asked the
question, AT what rate will aeroplanes be flying
through the air In comparatively short space of
time" My answer was, In six months I fully ex-
pect that monoplane will be registering speeds
of 100 miles hour. Friends Of mine who arc
experts upon the scientific aspects of airmanship
predict that eventually speeds of 200 and even 300
miles an hour will be possible At this ones imag-
lnatlon is apt to reel. But this much is certain:
IT the flying machine is to become of reak kimpor-
tance and not remain sporting toy it will need
to be speedier than any method Of transit on
land"
"The aeroplane engine is the crux of the situa-
ton Upon its development-rapid or slow-de-
pends also the development of airmanship. Fortu-
nately for the science in which we are all so in
terested, the flying machine motor is already max
ing quite extraordinary strides AS a well-known
maker remarked to me the other day. Each motor
which we turn out nowadays marks step up q
ladder Of progress And the engines for aircraft
are not only being made more reliable, but they
also weigh less than they did at first for each
horsepower of energy produced.

means OF kites and balloons and it is located on
top of peak nearly 1000 feet high in an isolated
part of the Blue Ridge mountains-that which no
oetter location could be imagined for this class
of work.
There are not many buildings at this kite-fy-
ing outpost, but substantial stone structure has
peen provided for use as a kite house. This is
tne headquarters for corps of five men who
devote all their time to this branch of aerial
WORK. More than two dozen kites are constantly
kept on hand and in readiness for use and in
Guided IN this equipment are samples of all the
different kinds of kites which have been used by
any OF the foreign governments that have en-
gagged in scientific kite flying. However, Uncle
Sans experts have developed some designs of
kites that are superior to anything known abroad
and particularly have they evolved a wonderful
new type of kite that be sent aloft in the
nerce gales that sweep over the Virginia noun
tains. The ordinary kite will fly in any wind
with velocity OF ten miles per hour or more
but is not adapted to use when the wind exceeds
rs miles per hour. However, this new style kite,
which weighs but eight pounds and has a lifting
surface, of So feet, has made successful flights
more than a mile in height when the wind was
blowing gale of 46 miles an hour.
The government experts have sent up kites at
Mount Weather as high $4,000 feet, which
means, of course, several miles. OF course no
rope string can be used for such kite flying,
but wire must be employed. The wire is wound
upon an immense reel of forged steel and the kite
flying is in reality done by machinery, this reel
being operated by three-horsepower electric mo-
tor. When it is desired to haul down draw in
kite this reel is set in motion at any speed de-
sired. The steel drum has capacity for carrying
$4,000 feet of piano wire, which is much more
than would be required for any kite fight that
will ever be attempted. The object of Uncle
Sans kite flying is of course to explore the upper
air and to that end automatically operated record
ing instruments are attached to every kite sent
up These bring down records not only of the
altitude attained by the kite but of the tempera-
ture at various attitudes and other information OF

past few years performed some wonderful expert
