RED CROSS EMBLEM
USED TOO FREELY
Society Decides to Take Action
Against Offenders /

Washington, Sept. t7.-Because of
the growing misuse of the Red Cross
emblem commercially, the American
Red Cross has just issued a new warm
| ing to those who may be violating the
law regarding it. While much of this
| misuse of the emblem, is unintention-
al and through excessive ZEAL the
National Red Cross can no longer
acquiesce in these violations, many of
which have been and are of a. serious
nature.
Under the statute, the Red Cross
emblem can only be used by authori-
ty. 1t cannot be used in the manu-
facture or sale of Red Cross buttons
or pms except upon such authorize
ton. Many novelty manufacturing
houses and stores, taking advantage
of the great increase of popular in
terest in the Red Cross, as we'll as
the growth in membership to nearly
four millions, have put on sale large
quantities of Red Cross pins, post
cards, and devices. An equally COM
mon abuse has been on the covers of
patriotic songs and popular maya
zines.
It is the feeling Of Red Cross Off
Gals that the Red Cross emblem
should be regarded much as the flag
is regarded. Under the law and the
Geneva International Agreement, the
emblem is set apart for the work of
relief and mercy. 1t should not be
used In any way to detract from that
high office. It use to stimulate the
sale of magazines, songs, post cards,
Or other articles under the guise of
Patriotism, therefore, should not be
regarded as proper.
Provisions Of the law are as fol-
lows:
1t shall be unlawful for any
person, corporation, or associa-
ton other than the American Ma
honal Red Cross and its duly au-
thorlzed employees and agents
and the Army and Navy sanitary
and hospital authorities of the
United States for the purpose of
trade or as an advertisement to
induce the sale of any article
whatsoever or for any business or
charitable purpose. to use with
in the territory of the United
States and it's exterior possessions
the emblem of the Greek Red
Cross on IA white ground, or any
sign or Insignia made or colored
in imitation thereof, or of the
words, RED Cross or any COM
bination of these words.
