who can sit with our fingers on our
pulses, slipping afternoon tea and an

We are a people raw and rude in
many ways, full Of primitive passions,
and in this country big things happen
that tear men and women out Of their
complacent little inches and set them
face to face, bodily with naked TRACE
dies.
It is the consciousness by our young
err dramatist of this spirit underlying
our national life that has given US
some of the very remarkable Am lean
plays of the last year or two. Notable
among these is The Boss" by Edward
Sheldon. which is now being presented
at the Aston theater.
In many ways The Boss is a most
remarkable play 1t is a play of blood
crude and brutal but from the first
word it grips and thrills you. and stirs
every particle Of red blood in your

hasn't the grip of such a mans fingers

These things are a part of our com

you see the wheels go around, the men
and women who pull the strings, and
the strange unsupported motives that
suddenly move hearts and
change issues.
The story of THE Boss" is that Of

Il AVE you ever seen little BABY
suffering from pneumonia? Hav,
you seen it fairly beat the air
with its little hands, because it is suffo-
eating and cannot breathe? Have YOU
ever seen their pinched, starved little
faces when they are suffering from
gastro-enteritis? Have you seen the
little tongues hanging out and the little
lips all cracked and bleeding, because
all the fluid of their systems is being
drained away, due to disease?
War is awful and the suffering of the
wounded is excruciating. but they are
men who suffer, men who are supposed
to be able to suffer and be silent. Is
the suffering of the soldier more intense
than the suffering of the little. sick
baby who cannot tell you of the thirst
and pain? The Red Cross rushes in to
relieve the suffering of the wounded
soldier and we are planning to enter in
to relieve the suffering of the little
baby.
We are opening camp for sick babies,
a place where the little ones can breathe
Gods pure air, be soothed with cool
baths and refreshed by cool, clean water
to drink We will allay the thirst and
heal the bleeding lips. We are opening
the day camp for sick babies and here
we wish to do the Red Cross work
here we wish to anticipate every pain
and make the little sufferers more COM
Portable.
Such a work in FL Paso requires
great amount of money and We appeal
to every citizen of FL Paso to do some
thing. 1t is for the babies. We need
$3.50 more and [ am sure FL Paso will
not see one little baby suffer and die
because we are short this amount You
may not be able 10 send in $1O0 but
YOU may be able to give 25 cents. Put
it in the "Save the Babies" banks and
if six hundred people will each drop
quarter into the banks, We will have the
$3.50 needed.
We need furnishings of all kinds.
Haven't you baby crib, a go-cart, a
hammock, wardrobe, a dresser wash
stand, old bookcase, stove or some
thing you can spare? Everything do
mated Will save the expenditure of
money.
Remember this is FL Paso's work and

An uptodate dressmaker, who gets

Now, remember that, glris-if you

you will look all right both this sea-

There were three boys in our fam

said Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup of
Charleston, w. Va, at the Willard
hotel. and our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one of the three
should be preacher.
Peter, the first born, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think of some other
vocation. Well. when Peter left col
lege he told father and mother that
along without him, as he preferred
the law. Then / was picked for the
pulpit, and after a term in college my
parents were shocked to learn that
had entered a business house far
from home.
That meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest, for the church. and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought it wisest to follow
the example of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There were no 9th
er boys, so what could father and
mother do but exclaim. The Lords
will be DONE and give US each a

Years after, when brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconcifed
