HOW THE RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED
Civil War "Post Office Stickers'
Back in '62 Was Start
of Idea

Nearly $1,90O,000 has been raised
by Red Cross Christmas seals in the
last six years. and yet many people
who will buy these holiday stickers
at this seventh annual sale do not
know how the charity stamp idea or
ginated.
1t was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil war of 81
to SO. Some of your grandmothers
first played post office" with stickers
similar to Red Cross seals way back
in 1862, when thep conceived the idea
of selling stamps at fairs for the bene-
fit of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly $1,000,000 was rails
ed in this way before 1865. After the
war this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for a
generation. although it found vogue in
Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, France,
Spain. Denmark. Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European countries.
There are now several thousands of
different types of charity stamps used
in all parts of the world. as many as
forty being used in Austria for chill
dren's hospitals alone.
Stamps on seals were first used
to get money for the antituberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904 To Jacob Riis, the well-known
social worker of New York. and to
Miss Emily p. Bissell. the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
jointly belong the honor of originat-
ing our American Red Cross Christ
mas seal. In 1909, Mr.. Riis' interest
was aroused by the receipt of a
christmas tuberculosis stamp on a let
ter from Norway. He published an ar
ticle about this queer-looking stamp
in the outlook, and suggested some

Chief Kinder could not give any idea
as to the origin of the blaze and said
he would make further investigation
after the debris was cleared away.
None of the Masonic members would
advance any theory as to the origin of
the fire.
The firemen remained on duty until
after 10 o'clock. A force of men was
put to work cleaning up and getting
the lodge rooms in shape for a meet
ing tonight if possible.

the firenen fought the flames on three
dlferent floors at one time.
With temperature of ten degrees
above zero the water froze on the fire
escapes and ladders. Fighting the
names from the outside was out of the
question. Holes We're cut in the floor
ana walls and streams of water we're
turned in the direction of the flames
The fiames from the fire in the kitchen
ate through the floor to the lodge
rooms below. Directly beneath the
Kitchen is the paraphernalia and ante
rooms: Adjoining is the secretary's
and officers rooms.
Flames Destroy Costumes
The flames spread to the room in
which the costumes are kept in steel
lockers. The heat was so intense that
the contents of the lockers were eth
er burned to a crisp or badly scorch-
ed. The leather portions of the uni
forms were charred. Many of the
swords were also badly damaged by
the heat Fearing that to open the
lockers before they had cooled, would
mean further loss, no effort will be
made to ascertain how great the loss
to the paraphernalia is until this even
ing.
The fire reached the blue room
where meeting of the Robert Burns
lodge was scheduled for tonight, and
ter was damaged slightly by fire, but
mostly by water and smoke. Valuable
papers and books in the safes were not
Preached by the flames. but records and
papers awaiting consideration were on
the desks, and large number of these
were destroyed.
Members of the various Masonic
lodges will be unable to state how
great the loss will be until a complete
inventory is made.
The origin of the fire this morning
is a mystery. There was no fire in the
building except in the basement where
the steam heat plant is located. Per-
severance lodge held n session last
night and after a meeting a buffet
luncheon was served. Hot coffee and
cocoa were served with sandwiches.
The gas stoves in the kitchen were
used to heat the coffee and cocoa, and
at the close of the luncheon the gas
was turned off in the main pipe lead
ing to the kitchen. This is always
done by q lodge member.
Gas Was Turned OF
When the firemen opened the doors
of the kitchen the entire room was a
mass of flames. The firemen had to
get out of the room for a time, be-
cause of the heat and smoke. There

Why Folks Won't Hit Trail

In speaking of people who do not
hit the trail he said he occasionally
meets a man who is reasonably skep-
tical and cannot understand the prob
lems of inspiration, regeneration, the
atonement- or the divinity of Christi
But he declared that 81 per cent. of
those who refuse belief do so because
they are unwilling to give up some pet
sin.
"If you are really in intellectual
difficulty, come to me and 1 will be
ready to help you with my explana-
tions of the problem which may clear
it."
Among the eighty odd trailhitters
was a bartender, and another who said
he was out of job but had refused a
place on a brewery wagon; there was
also a member of the Rotary club and
a claim agent of the Pennsylvania
railroad. People came up to the last
lnoment of the trailhitting period and
several got under the ropes after the
prayer of confession was begun.

possible uses for it in this country.
Miss Bissell at once saw an opportu-
nifty here and prepared a stamp, from
the sale of which her society realized
$50 for tuberculosis work So i'm
pressed was she with this success that
she induced the American Red Cross
to take up the sale in 1908 on a ma
tional basis. With very little organi-
zation and with hardly any attempt
.at careful advertising the sale that
year brought in, nevertheless, over
$135,000 for antituberculosis work in
various parts of the United States.
In 1909, with moreithorough organiza-
ton, the sale was increased to nearly
1910, 1000; in 1911 to over 100000, and
in 1912 to over 100000. Last year
the sale was increased to nearly 49,
100000 seals, netting S450,000 for the
antituberculosis campaign.
1t lie fitting to note that war, in
human and cruel, was the mother of
the Red Cross seal, and that now
war for humanity against disease
brings it back to its fullest usefulness.

EFFECT OF NEW TARIFF
FAILS TO REACH HAWAII
SHEEP AND CATTLE MEN

According to statements made at
the meeting of the tax equalization
board, which began its work yester-
day morning. Hawaii's sheep and cat.
tie industries have not as yet felt any
bad effects from the placing of wool
and leather on the free list under the
new tariff bill. On the contrary one
of the largest producers in both sheep
and cattle in the territory was quoted
as authority for the statement that
returns from recent wool sales have
been fully as good as under the tariff,
while for green hides he has been
getting more than he ever did before
IL to 13 cents per pound-a com
pared with to 10 cents.
Some of the members of the board,
however, were inclined to believe that
there has not yet been time since the
going into effect Of the tariff bill for
its effects to have become noticed in
the commodities mentioned.

HAWAII SUPERVISORS
TURN DOWN PLAN TO
CONSTRUCT NEW ROAD

Three suggestions involving the aid

wharf, made by SUPPLEMENTARY. w.
Caldwell of the public works depart
ment to the Hawaii board of super
.risors last week were all rejected by
that body on the theory that the coun-
ty could not afford to give the assist
anec. The result probably will be,
says Caldwell, that the antiquated Ke-
aiikaha route must continue to serve.
Stating that the territory had $25,-
900 to expend on the building of a
highway between the new pier and
Waiakea, the superintendent sug.
gested the county lend its aid to the
construction of an up-to-date, perIna.
nent road, paved with Warrenite. by
paying the difference between the
SIS, 900 and the amount the job would
cost. When the supervisors rejected
this proposition. he suggested that
The problem might be solved by bring
ing the prisoners down from the Vol
cano and using them on the work. IN
stead Of letting the job to contrac.
tro This in turn was rejected on the
ground that the road work at the vol.
cano was not finished yet and it
would be inadvisable to remove the
convicts before its completion. Cald-
well then volunteered TO use his in
fluence to bring over an additional
force of convict labor from Oahu pri-
son, to take hold of the Kuhio bay
road worss. The supervisors sadly but
firmly frowned on that, declaring Ha.
wall county could not afford to feed
the extra force.
