any kind OF demonstration by the self.
styled Colombian representative Luis
Molina. WHO made 4 scene at the hos

force his way aboard the Pennsylvania
train
A crowd had gathered about the hos
pttal before a. m Lines We're estab-
lished and they were forced to stand
some distance away from the building
The crowd was orderly in the extreme.
There was little of the shouting that
usually marks the crowds that greet
the colonel in Chicago. Instead those
who appeared We're evidently either
drawn by curiosity or in an effort to
show their regard for the colonel with
out causing any undue excitement.
Several men whose appearance
aroused the suspicion of the police were
quietly escorted through the crowd and
told TO go. One of these men is said
to be the principal of a south side
school, who detied police authority and
demanded right to stand near the hos
pital He was unable to furnish proof
of his Identity.
Another man asserted that he was
correspondent for a Philadelphia news
paper, but was unable to show any Gre
dentials and was put outside the lines.
The police detail was under command
Of Lieutenant Edward Brady. Assist
ant Chief Herman Schuettler had made
the arrangements and was in personal

He told the committee that in 1904 he

the New York Life Insurance Company
and that he served under Treasurer
Bliss of the Republican national COM

When asked about Il contribution

Mr.. Perkins said;
Nov senator, there has been so

about it in the shape of indestructible

The remainder of this portion of the
Perkins statement was taken up with
his own personal views relative to the
publicity Of campaign contributions
concluding the statement that he had
sent Cornelius y. Bliss $74.O1919 rather
than allow the contribution to be cred =
tied directly to the New York Life. of
which he was at that time trustee
Perkins testified that he recalled
nothing specifically of the so-called
Hartman fund, but "if such a fund was
raised may have made a contribution

He said that he made contributions
to the state campaigns in Maryland
and West Virginia, but did not recall
the amounts. He offered to the COM

In speaking Of the publication OF

said
Il am sorry that the Republican par
ty has not published its accounts and
that the Democratic party has also
failed to do so this year
This remark nettled Senator Oliver
who rebuked the witness and the re-
mark was Withdrawn from the record
Questioned about the 1912 pre- con-
vention campaign. Perkins said:
i made contributions personally to
the Roosevelt pre- convention fight as
follows:
/ " lIit New 1oik state committee,
$4,000; to f. H. Hooker treasurer 81
the national fund S22, 500; for work in

York and Brooklyn, SIG, 900: money sent
to different states, $19.500, and to Ed
ward w. Sims, of Chicago, $17.5OO.'
This totaled $4,000.
DO YOU know of any other contribu-
tions?' asked Senator Clapp.
Il know Of Mr.. Munsey's and either
want to suggest that the line of inquiry
of this committee is making a very
erroneous impression on the public
mind. You bring different people here
and they testify to contributions which
are already included in the accounts of
national offices. 1t is worse than a
system of compound interest because
every fund is testified to perhaps two
or three times and the total of these
funds is far greater than the actual
amount of money received"

Guessing Who Is Engaqed.

A young woman who had been away
from her home town on a prolonged
trip returned and announced her en-
gament in this way. She managed to
keep her secret, and so when eight of
her girl friends were hidden to a
luncheon they did not suspect the de-
movement that was to be made.
When they went to the dining room
the decorations and cards set them to
thinking, for the centerpiece was a
glass plateau on which was placed a
boat under sail. There were suit case
favors at each place with a card,
which read: The man In the case;"
also wee satin bags out Of which a
eats face came with wee card
around around it's neck saying "The
eats out of the bag" The hostess ex-
planned that the centerpiece repre-
scented the "Sea of Matrimony," and
told the guests they were to guess
who was about. to embark upon it.
The suit cases were opened and re-
vealed the photograph of the imam in
the case" but no one knew him. BY
adroit questioning the hostess was
found out and congratulations fol-
lowed.

No wonder then, that the Red Cross is directing
it's first aid propaganda to the railroad men OF
the country and to the workers in shops, Mills
etc.
Not only is the Red Cross giving widespread
instruction in first aid to the injured (Which 1t
is argued is just necessary as instruction III
hygiene) but it is conducting by means OF TINS
new type Of car, campaign TOT the prevention
Of accidents. Statistics seem to indicate that
about one-half of the accidents which result in
injury or death would have been preyentable by
the exercise of proper care and reasonable pre-
ventive measures and the Red Cross is endeaVor-
ing to teach workmen how to dodge mishaps and
how to minimize the effect or an ACCIDENT II IL
does appear inevitable
The Red Cross will not depend entirely upon
the lessons and lectures given on the first aid
cars, although these pave the way for effort In
the direction of volunteer first aid work Sup
pementing these series of charts and more
important yet simple books of instruction and
surgical materials which can prove serviceable
in unsked hands special first aid book has
been issued for the use OF Industrial workers and
has been translated into Italian Soyak Polish
and Lithuanian. In the near future there will be
issued other editions of this work specially adapt
ed for by women, by policemen and fremen.
by sailors and by farm hands and ranch workers.
OF course 1t is not the thought that such in
struction will enable the most skilled of the
volunteer Red Cross workers to replace the doc
tor except in the OF trivial injuries, but
with the new knowledge these volunteers will
know what to do until the doctor arrives, and
often by stopping flow Of blood or by other
me8ns may be enabled TO save lie when regu-
lar physician is not promptly on the scene.
To cover the fun scope Of this work the
Red Cross has found It necessary to go even
farther and to supplement its work Of nstruc-
ton by providing several different forms OF FIRST
aid boxes equipped with certain simple remedies
and necessities such as required in putting
the first aid instruction into practice In shops
and elsewhere. These supplies are sold at prices
which are intended merely to the cost OF
preparation without providing any profit and
that they supply long felt want would seem to
be indicated by the fact that the Red Cross has.
