I the sanitary service. The medical
staffs Of armies wear the Red Cross
IN war; but ICY not only care for
the sick and wounded-they preserve
return promptly the wounded to the
ranks, and in many ways contribute
powerfully 10 the efficiency Of the
troops. Persons contributing TO the
Red Cross next week may be saw
ing the lives or alleviating the SUI
friends who may be in the trenches
shortly"
"El Paso has a wonderfully heavy
motor traffic." said Cyclone" Wilson,
OF Oakland. Cal, a cripple who IS
known in the bay cities as the auto
mobile statistician-" I've checked the
yet I find that traffic in the heart OF
FL Paso is heavier than in any OF the
coast cities, the business section con-
sidered-"
As is the case with many institu-
tons which exist by popular sub
scription, many people are very Re
luctant to grant assistance TO the Red
Cross" said Howard 3. Durkee. be
cause they cannot comprehend the
reason for helping some mothers son
when he is unfortunate on the battle
field and becomes injured, but when
these same people stop and think
that they may be buying bandages
and medical supplies for their own
sons the idea assumes different pro-
portions. As another example the
people OF ample means should place
themselves in the position OF the
mother in stringent circumstances
who is not able TO aid in buying
medical supplies for her son who is
IN the trenches and in many cases
she has already given all she possess
es. her son."
I read in The Herald the other
other night where chief B. J. .Zabris-
kie wants some ground loaned him to
work the city prisoners on said
George Montgomery. "and hope he
gets it I had occasion 10 go to the
JAIL the other day to see a man who
Is in there and of all places to be this
hot weather that place has them
beaten. 1 wish that I only had the
ground to offer him, IL only @or the
relief and good IL would do the men
who are sentenced. I can understand
the feeling the chief must have for
those housed in that place. and I hope
that some one with the land viii
only go down there and see the con-
ditions and the needs Of a farm or
some place out OF doors to get those
people in something like a fit condi-
ton TO live"
