4 This week marks the open
ing of the sale of the Rer Cross
Seals by mail. Either this
week OF next practically all
automobile owners will receive
a consignment of 100 OF more
seals by mail. Watch for your
letter as it will contain a return
addressed, stamped envelope, in
(which you may return either the
seals or remittance. Where no
attention is paid to those let
tiers it is necessary to send a
follow-up communication, and
with postage so much higher
this year than formerly it is
doubly important that these
communications receive atten-
ton, especially since return
postage is provided. If you
cannot use the seals please re-
turn them as each seal must be
accounted for.
According to the national re-
quirement of the American Red
Cross the money from the sale
of the seals is to be used for
anti-tuberculosis work. The
experience of France, England,
Canada and all of the warning
nations is that tuberculosis is
among the worst enemies of
the armies. Hundreds of thou
sands of soldiers have been in
valided from the trenches by
tuberculosis and, left without
care, have spread infection in
their homes.
In our country, medical
examination has disclosed
thousands of unsuspected cases
of tuberculosis among the ten
million registered men. IT is
|of the utmost Importance that
the tuberculosis associations in
every state teach the newly re-
cruited soldiers how to avoid
tuberculosis and secure treat
ment or relief for those who
have broken down and their
families. Already several Ariz-
ona soldiers have been sent
home with tuberculosis.
In Santa Cruz County the
committee under Mrs. H. M.
Clagett is taking charge of the
sale this year under the auspices
lof Nogales Chapter of Red
Cross and is aiming to con-
serve the strength of the ma
tion by protecting all men, wo-
men andchildren. 500 of the
net proceeds of this sale will be
retained for work in this
county and a large part of the

every shop window. She bought a
ticket to New York, and then a sec
ond class ticket to Florence, Italv
and when she landed, a stranger in a
strange land, she hadn't more than a
dollar or two left.
She couldn't speak a word of the
Italian language, and during the
home-slck days that followed she'd
have starved to death if it had not
been for her little alcohol lamp. It
had way about it of making a cheap
little stew smell as appetizing as a
full meal back home, and of causing
cheerful little bubbling noise to
come from anything put over it that
quite drove the blues away. One real
ly forgot one was in room in an at
tic, and alone, and hungry when the
alcohol lamp gave it's merry little pre-
limlnGry sputter.
She never turned down an oppor-
tunity to earn an honest dollar. No
work was too humble, and she found,
as all girls with great ambitions will
find, that humble task, if we'll done,
always led to something greater.
The lack of work never daunted her,
though there were times, many of
them, when the alcohol lamp was not

that she convinced number of Ital- |

Is the way geographically of all who
are nearing the spotlight, until she
had mastered French and had saved
three hundred dollars.
All this had taken five long, hope
full, hungry years! She had said she
would return to Oshkosh in five years.
She kept her word. Oshkosh is one
of those wonderful places where a
prophet is not without honor in his
own town, and Oshkosh gave her an
ovation. She remained six weeks,
gave twenty-eight concerts, and re-
turned to Paris, where she studied
under Jean de Reszke, always look
ing for something better in her line
of work.
She was told to go in for grand
opera. The foolish people didn't
know she had been "going in" for
that ever since she left Oshkosh. She
was given six weeks to learn the title
role of Massenet's "Manon'; she had
never acted in her life; she had never
sung with an orchestra in her life;
she didn't have a rehearsal. But a
girl who will go abroad and accom-
plish what she set out to accomplish,
with only her brave spirit and an al
cohol lamp to help her, is not daunt-
ed by difficulties like these.
The manager of the theater never
knew till some weeks later that it
was her debut. From this time on
her path grew smoother. She was
always reengaged, and always for the
title role, and when she returned to
Paris after a tour of Bordeaux, Lille,
Lyons, the Riviera, and Zurich, in
"Lakma," "Traviata," and LA b.
heme," she was engaged by the OPP
era Comique, the first American in
nine years. She had wonderful
