Red Cross Christmas Seals.

A statement denying the recent re-
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale has
been issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years.
but that it will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July L.
and prohibits the use of the mails to
letters and packages bearing nom
postage stamps on the face; and also
to any mail bearing seals which re-
semble postage stamps il used either
on the face or back. The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has, been
submitted to the postofflce depart
ment and approved, and thus may be
used, but only on the back Of letters
and packages. The design to be used
this year depicts pretty winter scene
enclosed in heavy red circle. The
corners are white, thus giving the ef-
feet when affixed to a letter or Z
package of round seal.

cleverly sutirized in the San Fran

There was once robbcr in Cairo
who fell from the second story OF a
house he was trying to enter and
broke one of his legs
He went to the cadi and complained
The mans window was badly made

The cadi said that was reasonable
and he summoned the owner of the
house
The owner confessed that the house
was poorly built, but maintained that
the carpenter was to blame, and no,
he This, again, struck the cadi as
sound logic, and he sent for the car

the reasonablenes of the argument

The mason pleaded guilty, but ex

he was at work. and that his attention,
had been diverted from his duty. The

But pretty soon the crowd returned tt
