The Red Cross Society

If some of the biggest men in the United
States are willing to neglect their own business
to further the cause of the Red Cross Society, it
is patent proof that the organization is fulfill
ing mission of transcendent Importance.
F. S. Bates of the city, considered the war
council of the Red Cross Society of sufficient i'm
portance to impell him to attend it's sessions. A
number of professional and business men of
Richmond are giving part Of their time and con-
siderable money to promote the work here.
Attention is called to these incidents to en-
phasize the Importance of the functions of the
Red Cross Society. All of cannot enlist, all of
us cannot buy Liberty bonds, but all Of us can
give little money and a little time to the Red
Cross Society.
The task before the Society is great one.
Few of us who are members Of the laity can UNI
derstand the tremendously large amount of sup
plies that are needed by military hospitals.
We are fully aware of the horrible execution
wrought by modern guns and high explosives.
We lack knowledge Of the amount of dressings
and hospital supplies required for bandages and
other purposes in the hospitals where the unfor-
tunate wounded men are taken.
If we could fully understand and appreciate
this factor we would see that the preparation of
hospital supplies is one of the great tasks con-
fronting American women today.
A word regarding the organization and ad-
ministration Of the Red Cross Society might be
mentioned in passing.
The Red Cross Society has been organized so
long that it is able to do its work with minimum
overhead charge. It knows how to handle calam-
tiles. 1t knows how to 60 about relief work on
the battlefields. 1t is efficiently organized for
just the work it sets out to do. For that reason,
you can rest assured that the contributions you
make will not be wasted but will really go for the
purpose for which it is intended.
Do your bit now for the Red Cross.

Mr.. Editor:
Permit me to commend your Free
Speech and Press" editorial on the
a5th inst. While not agreeing that
I'VE are now at war because of Prus-
sian Junkers or German satraps," and
while thinking we should be more
deeply concerned because of react
ionary plutocracy, than an external
thing. nevertheless one precious jewel
was given US at the price of seven
long years of untold suffering. tears
and blood by our revolutionary fathers,
who thought death more to be desired
than tyranny, and that was the right to
speak our minds and publish our
thoughts.
No plea Of temporary expediency
should for q moment be tolerated in
view of the price we paid. and loss
We would sustain by surrendering this
vital principle.
During the confusion and tumult of
war they may enact laws that will
loose q hoard Of venal spies in our
midst, veritable snakes in the grass,
to trail the steps Of men and women
who never committed q crime in their
lives and never will; they may muzzle
our mouths and throttle the press, but
as you say. they will defeat their own
purpose" and running counter to one
Of the most cherished Of American ira
ditions be ultimately confronted by q
righteously indignant public that in
justice to itself should neither forgive
nor forget.
Yours truly,

From the Liberty Loan Committee

America is at war to prevent powerful and
INSCRIPTIONS empire from winning the mastery
of the western world. Together with Britain,
France, Italy Canada, Pan-America, the United
States depends for its political safety and it's CIV
ized development upon the security of the At
lantic highways. That security is now gravely
threatened by the German Empire armed with a
new and deadly weapon. If the submarine sue
ceeds, the German Empire is not only supreme
in Europe, but an imminent peril to every ma
ton that touches upon the Atlantic. It would
compel every nation to live in the fear of militar-
ism, and the caste which dominates the German
Empire today would call the tune for all man.
kind.
This is the specific threat which has forced
the United States into the contest and which has
united its national interests with those of the lib
eral powers of Europe. The threat could not be
overcome unless Great Britain obtained the sup
port of the American naval and mercantile fleet
and American industrial and military resources.
Thus We are fighting in part to prevent Ger
many actuated by aggressive motives and armed
with such q weapon as the submarine from win
ming the war, and in part to enable the United
States to participate in a treaty of peace which
subsequently may become the basis of an endur-
ing and equitable international order.

would be a splendid test OF public

would be selected to run without op-

HOUSES HEATED WITH SMOKE
Inhabitants of Korea Have Ingenious
Way of Making the Floor
Serve as Huge Stove.

The rigorous winter of Korea, which
deters many Japanese from settling
there, is made endurable, says the
Herald of Asia, by means of heating
contriyances called ondol. This is a
very ingenious way of heating a whole
room by making smoke and heated
air pass under the floor. In fact, the
floor serves as huge stove.
A floor is first made of mud and is
intersected by three or four flues
which spring from the fireplace at one
side of the house and converge into
the chimney at the other. Large slabs
of stone are laid over this mud floor
with its parallel flues. The joints are
made alright with clay, and a layer
of clay Is added on the top. Finally
the whole is covered with thick oiled
paper. The fireplace is outside of the
wall at one side and the smoke passes
through those flues in the floor on its
way to the chimney at the other end
of the house. In this way the whole
room is effectively warmed. Neither
stove nor hibachi Is needed In such a
room, even during an exceedingly cold
day, and it Is real comfort to sleep
in 1t, feeling, as one does, the soft
warmth enveloping the whole body
from beneath.

KNOW HOW TO RAISE A BOY?
II You Did You Would Solve All the
Problems of Mankind and
Conquer the World.

SLOW to Raise a Boy? Why, if any
body knew how to raise a boy he
would conquer the world. He would
take his place at the head Of all
philosophers stand as the most
exalted of men! IL there could be
written rules of rearing children, all
problems would be solved. There
would be no distress in the world, no
crime, no blots upon the whole face
Of the EARTH" says the Dayton News.
"Boys are born and proceed to
grow. They have heaped upon them
from their earliest understanding all
manner of admonitions. They have
showered upon them more human love
than any other creatures that are born.
They have more care and attention
and pay less attention to it-than any
other things that come into the world.
Now and then one develops into q
criminal; now and then one breaks
the hearts of all who have had any
thing to do with him. But none of
them follow precepts or advice. None
of them develop along lines they are
taught. None of them turn out exactly
as those who have them in charge ex-
pect them to turn out.
at is this way: A mother has two
sons. They receive the same care and
attention. Their environment is identi-
cal. They eat the same food. They
have equal opportunities or advantages
rs regards education. They study I'M
der the same teachers-or refuse to
study under them. Theoretically, they
ought to make the same kind of men,
for they have been brought up to-
gether. But they don't. They are
nothing alike when they are grown.
One is good, the other bad. One is
studious, the other refuses to study.
One is reliable, the other unreliable.
No there is no way of telling how
boy ought to be raised"

Raphael the equivalent OF $4,000 for

Peter Van Aelst, the Brussels weaver
who converted the design into cloth,
received $4,000. This suite as now
preserved in the Vatican, Is valued at
a million and half, although much Of
its color has faded. But while Raphael
probably executed his paintings in six
months, 1t took Van Aelst and his as

loom materials was considerable.
