RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
 NOT FOR WAR REl. LEE.
American Red Cross Director Urges . Fund For Tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals which are being sold widely throughout the Unit ed States for the benefit of the anti tuberculosis movement, will be used for any relief purposes. according to q statement by Ernest r. Bicknell, Ma tional Director of the American Red Cross
 MT. Bicknell says: The American Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the sympathetic interest which has inspired the suggestion from various parts of the United States that certain per centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales Fund. which has been used for the last seven years exclusively for the preven. ton and treatment of tuberculosis in the United States. be expended this year to aid the European war suffer CTS While the Red Cross is desirous of securing contributions which will in crease this war relief fund. we do not feel justified in adopting any policy which will tend to cripple the tuhercu
 Ns AtIitNIAtllN as It is for support to so large an ex. tent on the sale of Red Cross Christ mas seals. The announcement that n percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon, ey would go to our war relief fund might possibly increase the sale; but. ih our opinisn, the final results would show distinct loss in that part of the proceeds going for tuberculosis work
 "At the present time there are over l,-Oo antituberculosis societies distrib. uted through nearly every state in the ohlon and even in Porto Rico the canal Zone and far off Hawaii. which are dependent almost entirely upon the receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale Tor their work during the year 1916.

 Platinum, although it lacks the beauty of color that gold has, is the costilest metal in the world, says an exchange. It sells for about $50 an ounce, troy, which is about two and one half times the recent price of gold. The chief supply of crude plat mum comes from the Ural mountains in Russia, the output of which in 1912 was about 300,000 troy ounces, as against 314,000 from all countries. In that same year the United States pro- duced 1000 troy ounces.

MEMORIAL DAY

Soon after the Civil War C6l-'65) all
over the North and South brothers and
sisters, fathers and mothers began to paw
tribute to those fallen in battle by
decorating their graves with flowers For
this reason many call it Decoration Day.
lit has been exactly fifty years since the
first Memorial Day was observed. James
Redpath, who had been a correspondent
for Northern newspaper, offered his
services as superintendent of schools
for the freed men without pay, and was
organizing day schools and establishing
public reading rooms and Libraries. This
was in Charleston, S. c.
AS spring drew near, he and his good
wife noticed the neglected graves of the
men who fought on both sides, for what
they thought was right. They sent out
letters asking people everywhere to assist
them in enclosing the burial field and in
erecting monument to the memory of
the dead. A prompt and generous re-
ponSe insured their plans for a great
Memorial service. MIR. Redpath asked
the children if they would not bring lots
of flowers, that grew wild in abundance
in that section. A little negro girl spoke
up: Let's all go an git a'msful an ANS
full of posies, an jest hide the graves from
sight, till we can't see 'em agin nevah no
mo- And when the day came ten
thousand people took part This was one
of the special efforts which caused the
nation to begin celebrating Memorial Day.
All over the Northern states May Both
is Memorial Day. while in the South
April Goth is observed in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and Mississippi; May 10th in
North and South Carolina: May 30th in
Virginia. a;Id June Bird in Louisiana. In
1868, General John A. Logan, then Com
mander i'll Chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, designated May Both.
Memorials have been set up in many
noted places as Mt. Arlington in old Vir-
ginia, Gettysburg in Pennsylvania and
Chickamauga Park in Tennessee, where
the different states have set up monu-
ments in honor of their brave sons who
died in battle. But the greatest monu-
ment we can erect is a true, noble life
dedicated to the fulfilling of the worthy
ambitions which our forefathers had in
coming to America.

AWFUL DREAM OF WAR.
How many people are wondering,
in the few moments of reflection of
these days, what is coming, finally,
of all this awful dream of war | say
awful dream, for no human mind can
possibly grasp the magnitude of the
destruction that the world is now suf-
fering. One man has estimated that
the world is rushing headlong toward
bankruptcy at a rate of not less than
six billions of dollars day. We can
not grasp even such figures, but what
they express is merely money and pro-
