Moulding Them Into Men.

Have you ever watched wood turn
"ers take up rough piece of wood
run it through first one lathe and
then another, and have it come out
a polished and perfect piece of fur,
niture or other article of daily use?
That is exactly what the officers
OF the Army are doing with the
young men Nof' the National Guard
now in the training camps
Doctors and thinking men cereal
ly admit that military training is
the greatest aid to intellectual, phys
ical and moral development. The
daily exercise gradually works the
raw and awkward youth into a
physically perfect and self reliant
man; discipline. implants in his mind
the necessity and the desirability of
respect for his superiors and for his
fellow men; the intelligence and the
high standard of morality maintain
ed by his preceptors elevates him 20
a higher and more honorable plane
: of manhood; as the months go by
he becomes more and more a man
/; among men.
Young men who went to the
camps with their regiments will come
home with higher purposes in life,
with greater determination to
rmeet and overcome the numerous OBJ
stacaes in the pathway to success,
and radiating to others their own
newly acquired polish, self reliance
forcefu1ness and the will to accom-
plish that which they undertake.
If you have a relative or friend in
the camp; rest easily on his account.
He will return better man than
when he marched away.

SANITARY SOAP BUBBLES

A recent invention has made the
blowing of soap bubbles as safe and
sanitary as drinking pasteurized
milk No longer need the youngster
steal the soap from the laundry for
his bubbles. Instead he uses tiny
paper tubes purchased from the
nearest drug store. These tubes. con-
tain small piece of sterilized soap
at one end. The tube is dipped in
a. glass of clean water Nor is there
any danger of the child's cutting
himself on broken pipe, as the tube
is SO constructed that it collapses
under pressure.

How to Form a Red Cross CHAPTER

Just as the family is the group on
which all modern civilization is based,
and Of which counties, states and ma
tions are formed, so the chapter is the
unit on which is based the great work
of the American Red Cross. The aim
of this article is to tell, as clearly and
briefly as may be, the best way to form
a chapter.
A small group Of persons-three or
four or half dozen, or even ten
should hold an informal meeting and
reach mutual understanding of what
Is to be done. They must understand
that the Red Cross chapter is not q
sewing society, nor physicians club,
nor nurses organization, nor a po.
litical or religious group Of any kind.
1t is union of the brightest and
strongest men and women Of any com.
munity, formed to prepare for the al
deviation of human misery.
This being true, those who form the
chapter must be men and women who
command the respect of the commu-
nifty. 1t has been found we'll to have
In this group representative of the
local chamber Of commerce or what
ever business organization the commu-
nifty affords. Physicians, lawyers
clergymen, educators, bankers busi-
ness mcn-whoever are leaders in the
daily life of the community-make
good material for Red Cross work.
Politics and creed are never consid-
cred Mt all.
1t is preferred that each county have
chapter, usually located ut the coun.
ty seat, but there is no hard and fast
rule. In any case, those who wish to
form chapter should agree on Il
course, form themselves into an or
ganization committee, choose chair
man and secretary, and write to the
Division Director Of the Red Cross for
permission to organize Il chapter. In
the letter asking this permission, a
brief account should be given of each
Of those in the movement for the d.
rector invariably makes inquiry, be.
fore granting permission, to make sure
that the chapter will be in capable and
trustworthy hands.
The division director will send a
blank form petition, which is to be
filled out with the names, addresses
and other items concerning each of the

lean soil. That would be serious, in
deed; yes, very serious, for I have
given my word to your government.
This-David Law"-he pronounced the
name carefully, but with strange for
eign accent-"he is a reckless person
to defy the border regulations. It is
grave matter to invade foreign ter
ritory on such mission" Longorio
again bent his brilliant eyes upon
Alaire. II see that you are concerned
for his safety. You would'no desire
him to come to trouble, eh? He has
done you favors; he is your friend,
US am. Well"-a mirthless smile ex-
posed his splendid white teeth-"we
must think Of that. Now I will bid
you good night"
where are you going?" demanded
Miss Jones.
ITO the river, and then to Romero.
1 may be needed, for those men Of
mine are stupid fellows, and there is
danger Of misunderstanding. In the
dark anything may happen. 1 should
like to meet this David Law; he is
man Of my own kind" Turning to
young Ed," he said: "There is rea-
son for haste, and horse moves slow
ly. Would you do me the favor, if you
have an automobile"
mo! I won't!" Ed declared. II
don't want to see the Rio Grande to-
night. I won't be involved"
"But you are already involved.
Come! There is no time to waste, and
I have something to say to you. You
will drive ME to the river, and my
horse will remain here until I return
for bim."
There was no mistaking the COM
mand in Longorio's tone; the master
Of Las Palmas rose us if under COM
pulsion. He took his hat, and the two
men left the room.
"Oh, Mrs. Austin!" Paloma gasped.
They'll be in time, and 80 will the
Lewis gang
"Quick! Ed will take his runabout-
we'll follow in my car" Alaire fed
to make herself ready. A few moments
later she looked out from her window
and saw the headlights of Eds run
about flash down the driveway to the
raid; then She and Paloma rushed to
the garage where the touring car stood.
'The moon is rising" Paloma half
sobbed. "They'll be sure to see us.
Do you think we're ahead Of Tad
Lewis?"
"Oh, yes. He hasn't had time to get
here yet, but-he'll come fast when he
starts. This is the only plan I can
think Of"

petitioners, and returned to him. If it
appears that responsible and represen-
tative men and women are back of the
movement, he will grant authority to
organize chapter.
Ihe next step Is meeting of the
group, already organized into com.
mittee on organization. together with Il
few other Of the strongest men and
women of the community, but not Il
public mass meeting. At this meeting
board of trustees Of from II to 3G
is usually elected, one-third to hold
office one year, one-third two years.
and one-thrd three years. This board
then elects central committee of ten
members, the central committee
chooses the chapter chairman, and the
chairman with the aid of the central
committee names the principal COM
mittees.
1t has been found best to elect an ex-
perienced business man and capable
executive as chairman. In only few
instances have women been chosen
The secretary must be familiar with
the work of keeping records, and car.
rying OH businesslile correspondence
with men whose every minute is valu-
able. The treasurer is usually tho
president of strong bank. Chairman,
secretary and treasurer are usually eX
otiiciO members Of the executive COM
mittee.
When the chapter has been fully Or,
ganized, certificate of organization
and election, made out on blanks which
will have been furnished, will be sent
to the division director. If he finds it
regular, he will forward it to the D-
rector of Chapters, at Washington. it
will be taken by him before the central
committee, qnd formal recognition
Of the new chapter will be granted.
From that moment the chapter Is the
official representative Of the American
Red Cross in the territory over which
it has jurisdiction.
The name of the chapter is usually
that Of the town in which it is formed.
The name must be geographical, and
the territory over which the chapter
wishes jurisdiction must be clearly set
| forth in the petition, and will be as
clearly defined in the authority to Or
ganize, and in the formal recognition
by the central committee.
