l the great white plague has been taken under the shadow of it's wing, as well as many other branches of work not orig inally included in the Comite Internation- ale de Secours aux Militaires Blesses."
 And has every state in the union branch organization?" I asked, greatly interested.
 Rhode Island founded the first state branch of the Red Cross society in 19oo,' was the reply to my question, land since then many of the states have fol- lowed her example. During 1909 our peo- pie, by means of the Red Cross society, have been able to express their sym pathy and give help to thousands of their fellow men who have suffered from earthquakes in Italy and Portugal; from massacres in Turkey; from floods in Mexico. In San Francisco one has but to look at the thousands of little cot tages built after the disaster there beside the Golden Gate-monuments to our Red Cross. Again, in Italy the American Red Cross Orphanage and hundreds of cot tages are witnesses to our zeal and labor The Red Cross camps, which are begin ming to dot the country over from Maine to California, attest it's interest in the fight against tuberculosis
 "So many philanthropists have become interested in the work. I notice, in read ing of it's progress, remarked. .rrhe ferryboat provided by Miss Mary Har- riman for the Brooklyn Red Cross, for it's tuberculosis work Is a bright par ticular addition to the Red Cross navy, as this branch is called"
 'The transport that carried the food supplies to China provided by the Chris tian Herald floated the Red Cross flag" replied Mrs. Cabaniss. "The relief ship Bayern, sent out by the American relief committee in Rome, disported again the wonderful emblem. And from Beirut the news is related that the steamer on which our Red Cross committee shipped supplies to the sufferers from Armenian massacres sailed under the Red Cross flag"
 T have heard many Americans say that when they were travelling in for eign parts" said I, they were often footsore and weary, stranger in 8 strange land. longing for home and IfleuuS ana almost on the verge or tears. When rattling through the streets they would espy a Red Cross wagon and feel almost as if they had met long-lost friend.,'
 ''so you see the Red Cross renders first aid in many ways said Mrs. Cabiness 'since it comes as a hamburger and reminder anywhere we meet its flag of those near and dear to us and the great work it Is doing"
 "I hope that the state of Alabama will not be remiss in joining this great work, I remarked, as we neared the end of our conversation.
 Indeed, I hope that today everyone who feels an interest in the work will attend the annual meeting of our local branch. And l should like each and everyone to know that they will receive a cordial welcome from every officer of the Jefferson County Circle, who is deeply interested in the success of the Red Cross work, and anxious for our membership In Alabama to be augmented by many hundreds this year"

The Curse of cattIetlcks.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Because the United States government has appropriated s25o,0oo to aid the peo- nle of the tick infested south to stamp out ana obliterate the Texas of splenettc fever during this fiscal year and will no doubt appropriate s400 900 for the same purpose next year, and because 72,000 square miles of southern. territory have in the last two years been utterly cleared of the nuisance, thus proving the great work can be done, and because the United States agricultural department is ready and willing to begin it's work in earn est in Oklahoma, and only awaits the good will and cooperation of the people, and because Alabama is paying her full share of the necessary tax without getting any adeouate return, will not The Age-Herald allow me some space wherein may set out for the benefit of it's thousands or readers the cause, the immense cost, and the sure remedy for this dire contagion?
 The Cause-About the cause, there is now no ground for dispute. The one sole cause Is microscope germ, or animal microbe, which Is alone transmitted and scattered by that peculiar tick, and para
  very rattlesnake of the entire tick tribe; and these pestilence-bearing ticks have alone been carried and spread all over and all through the south by the careless handling of tick-infected cattle, and es- pecially by letting such cattle run at large-and in no other way in the world. Such Is the clear verdict of stern and exact science.
 The Cost-But the cost, the waste, the useless and immense tax which these pestilsnce- bearing ticks impose upon the cattle raisers is a prodigous, and most appalling matter. MT. Secretary Wilson, our really great Secretary of Agriculture, after 0 careful examination estimates the yearly loss and cost of these parasites on the 2o.0000O0 horned cattle now owned in the south to be not less than s5 per head. And this aggregates $10000o.ooo!
 But how can this be possible?
 We'll in the first place there Is the value of all tho cattle which do each year lie down and die of the disease. And this is in all the tick-infected states of the south prodigious sum. Next. Is the immense injury done to the still greater number of cattle which do not

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Splitting on Car Floors.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. The city ordinance aganist the smok- ing and splitting in the street cars that operate in the greater city seems to be treated as a joke and farce. judging by the filth that greets one at every turn. The city authorities attention has been called, especially, to the condition that exists on the East Lake line, but there has been no action taken what ever.
 It is bad enough to be constant stander, but to have to breathe the smoke and spittle germs is adding insult to injury. The conditions brought about by this deplorable state of affairs Is positively filthy and calls for strenuous action at once.
 This protest is from one who has to use the cars at least six times a day.

Must Be "On Time"

Among every 100 men who be come fremen only seventeen are ever made engineers" says Warren s. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, one of the most powerful labor organizations in the world. "Out of every 100 engineers only six ever get passen- ger runs. The next next time you see a white haired man on the cab of big passenger locomotive don't wonder at his white hair, but make up your mind that he has the goods or he wouldn't be there. It is case of the selection and the survival of the fttest. It takes nerve to run the fast trains these days, for you sit at your throttle tearing across the country at the rate of more than mile minute, and if any one of a dozen people down to the man who has spiked down the rail, has made mistake you ride to certain death.

The High Cost of Dying

It was bound to come, of course, that all this cry about the "high cost of living" would lead some. body to write something about the high cost of dying. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, writing in the Inde- pendent, seems to be the first in the field. He cites the case of a coun- try school teacher who had mar ried on a salary of $56 month and whose little girl was taken sud- denly ill and died. The doctors bill, surgeons fee for an operation. casket, cemetery lot, etc.. cost $26S, to meet which the man had only $S5 in the bank. The "high cost of dying" certainly was illustrated here. But, should the school teacher have married on a salary of $56 a month"; That is hard question but it is necessary sometimes to
 look cold facts in the face.

Long Time in Storage

During the recent egg famine, E. s Neff. a restaurant keeper at Oak land, Ind, purchased a number of cold storage eggs, on one of which he found a woman's address.
 Writing a letter to the woman, who gave Princeton, Ind, as her home, he received a reply from Ev- ansville, saying the address had been placed on the egg three years ago, as the writer had been a resi- dent of Evansville at that time, and further, she also said she had never placed her name on more than one egg.
 MT. Neff wrote to Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, who some time ago stated that one year was the limit of use- fulness of storage eggs, and gave him the proof of these eggs' age. Dr. Wiley, in reply, said that proof furnished by Mir. Neff had been placed with the b-committee of Congress that is Investigating cold storage products.

Comets May Collide

"It is spossible that Halley's comet and the new comet that has been so resplendent in the western sky may collide. Who knows but that we may be on the eve of witnessing a celestial event such as never be- fore has been seen or heard2" said B. G. Way, noted Brooklyn as- tronomer.
 Both comets are many millions of miles in length. If it be a grade crossing nothing can prevent the long, fiery tails of the comets com ing into collision, even if the heads of the nucleus of each should es- cape such a fate. But as all celes tial objects attract each other pro- portioned to their masses, it is not unlikely that even if the two com cts are not scheduled to cross each others orbits at grade even if they are far above or below each other, their mutual attracts may draw them towards each other, and the earth and the inhabitants there of may be treated to a spectacle of celestial commingling and tangled masses in collision such as has never been witnessed before."

His withdrawals of land from settle ment are quite as extensive as were those of his predecessor, and they appear to be made with greater discrimination. He has also asked. additional legislation to regulate mining privileges. Abnse of Bal finger may we'll be withheld till the results of his policies are better determined.-S. F. Chronicle.

they cried when she put them down
My attention was attracted to one
little child who cried and seemed
so restless. The matron told me
later that the mother of the baby
was simple minded and that they
had never known who the father
was. What will the future hold IL
store for this suffering little piece
of humanity?
All of the work of the mission is
done for charity, and they never
receive money for any of the atten.
tons and care given the mothers
and children except for the children
who remain at the home after the
mothers have gotten employment.
A fee of $3.50 a week for board
and care of the baby is charged,
hut in many cases they never re-
ceive penny.
One remarkable thing is that
never in the experience of Captain
Smith as matron in this city has
she had baby left at her doorstep
but once, and they had no trouble
in locating the parents. They have
never had a single case of the
mother running away and leaving
her child. This fact proves that
there is still an instinct to do right
in all of these girls. and with kind
word and little sympathy many
might be taken from deplorable
condition and with good advice and
influence made good, true women.
