Mistaken Ideas Corrected.

Just what the Red Cross seals are and
how to be used has puzzled citizens in a
number of sections of the country A
letter has been received by the Red Cross
from Mrs. Annie Pollard of Vienna, Ga,
who Is apparently under the impression
that the seals themselves are to be used
in the cure Of consumption. She said in
her letter:
II cannot find your Red Cross seals,
and my husband has consumption Please
let me hear from you at once
A. letter was Immediately sent to Mrs
Pollard. containing 100 seals and explain
ing how they were used to raise funds
for the fight against tuberculosis. She
was also given the name of a physician
in her heighborhood whom she might con-
suit in regard to her husbands condi-
ton.
A letter from Thomas Edison to the
Red Cross officials states that the most
popular and the best paying of the NOV
ing picture films made by the Edison
company during the last year was the
Red Cross Christmas seal film both in
this country and abroad. The pictures
are now being shown in local moving pic
ture theaters.

seologist is able to carry him back to
time when it was impossible to dis

tile. In South Africa the geologist has
Irltylodon. This animal has formed,
as some one has said. a sort of zoologi-
cal shuttlecock. 1t has been hit back
and forth by biologists between the
class of reptiles and the class of NAM
mails. and its discovery serves as an
important link in the chain of evidence
to establish the descent of the animal
kingdom.
The work OF the geologist also has
served to prove hitherto unsuspected

scarcely have dreamed few years ago
that there was a close relationship eX-
listing between the Florida manatee
and the African elephant. the one
dry land animal and the other aquatic
Much less would anybody have be
lieved that the cony, which the Book
of Proverbs pronOunces "a feeble folk
is the cousin both Of the elephant and
of the manatee. And yet recent eX-
plorations have brought to light evil
dence showing that the sra-living
sirenia. the old world representative
of the Florida manatee family. is
closely related to the elephant. 1t has
been found that thousands of genera
tions ago this animal had hind limbs,
and that in that age the kinShip be
tween it and the elephant was exceed
ingly close. The same explorations
have shown that the cOny is mem

In hundred ways the Zoologist and
the geologist, working along similar
lines, have been affording us new
glimpses Of the relationships existing
in the animal kingdom today and dur
ing the millions of years of the past.
and are increasing our knowledge of
the rise of all things created The
progress that has been made in the
past half century leads scientists to
hope that in the years to come hui
