RED CROSS NOTES.

There is call for old kid gloves, no
matter how torn or worn, to be used in
making vests for the aviators. The
gloves may be given to Mrs. H. E. Nc
Graw, who will take charge of them.
The large number of Red Cross work
ers at the meetings last week was very
gratifying and it is hoped that each
succeeding week may find as many 10y
al women laboring for the welfare of
our soldier boys.
A new consignment of yarn has been
received which will be distributed for
knitted articles. Great care should be
exercised in measuring the articles as
some of the scarves lately finished were
found to be too short. The article to
be measured should be laid on a table
or similar hard surface and should not
be pulled or stretched.
Although conservation and knitting
are occupying a prominent place in the
thoughts of all housewives there is still
another way in which they may render
great service to their country. This
is by contributing any bits of silver or
gold to fund to be used in helping the
aviators of America "the wings of the
army" No matter how battered or
unpresentable an articlesmay appear, if
it is composed of silver or gold it can
/ be melted and used. Surely every
household has its collection of antiques
which come to light only at houseclean-
ing time--old thimbles, hatpins, stick
pins, spectacle bows, etc. Give these
to the Treasure and Trinket" fund.
The articles may be left with Mrs. Nc
Hale.

WASHINGTON HEALTH LETTER

Washington is so full of soldiers
these days that it makes the male WIS.,
itor in civilian clothes feel as though
he should have some means of explain
ing to everybody why he. too, is not
wearing a newlooking uniform. Aside
from the uniforms, the newness of the
officers is further indicated by the stiff
ness of sthe reserve officers salute
which is suggestive, in some instances,
of the wooden soldiers of toyland.
A good many tanned and tight skin
ned men, however, bear witness to
what even few weeks in a military
training camp has done to tougher
them up. One man, over fifty years
old, for example, whom | have known
as sedentary, non-athletic type bore
the appearance of a seasoned Indian
campaigner He told me that he had
trained off 25 pounds of weight and
felt twice as strong, physically, as he
has in twenty -five years.
While he has been medical college
teacher of public health and personal
hygiene for many years, he told me
that he had learned that he has been
wrong in thinking that physical train
ing and exercise would not be good for
him. When he went into the army he
had weak and painful feet and frequent
attacks of sciatica and lumbago. He
thought the rigid physical training
would break him up entirely. Instead,
he states that he has no trouble with
his feet, legs, or back any more, not
withstanding the fact that he is on his
feet practically all day long. He gives
the sensible and scientifically shaped
army shoes part of the credit.
If this war does not last long, and
does not cost too many lives, it is going
to teach us "a. number of life-saving
truths. 1t is interesting to note, Incl
sdentally, that nerve specialists are re-
porting great decrease in the number
of cases of nervous prostration among
leisure class women. The knitting,
gardening, aud preserving are said to
haye played an important part in this
great gain. The manner in which wo-
men have risen to their part in this war
has been about the most beautiful
aspect of it. ! 1t is good to know that
they, too, are receiving some compen-
sation for their sacrifices.

STOCK MARKET ~o>~~~~~c%

New York, June 9-Opening g-The usual weakened contraction of opera tions characterized today's early trad ing in stocks, with prices showing an irregular trend. American Sugar was the strongest feature, adding two points to itss recently steady rise. Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel, Cen tral Leather. Industrial Alcohol, Dis tillers. Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies, Pacific Mail, Pittsburgh Coal, Tobac- co Products, Mexican Petroleum and Ohio Gas included the other firm to strong stocks. General Electric, Re- public Iron, Colorado Fuel and the motors eaeds under moderate press ure. United States Steel shaded a fraction and St. Paul led the rail- roads at gain of a point.
 The surprising development of to- days short session was a spirited ad- vance in automobile shares. General Motors made an extreme gain of A points and Studebaker Az, others of that group gaining 1 1s to 2k points Among the other notable features were Industrial Alcohol at the new high of 170A, accompanied by a gain of three points for Distillers. United States Steel was under early restraint but hardened later. Independent steels, notably Lackawanna and Cru cible, made a better showing. Ship pings, Central Leather, metals and sugars also stiffened perceptibly and railroads improved-afte some irreg- ularity. The closing was strong. Sales were about 450,O0O shares. Bonds were steady on more active operations.

 Poor people don't have to-they pay for them by degrees. At first you $1 down, then you pay $9 more, then $10 more, and then you make two payments of $15 each-so that the en- tire purchase is stretched over three months and it is easy for almost any one to buy them

Japanese Won From Chinese and Filipinos
 Athletes in Big Meet

Further detailed reports of the Far Eastern Olympic Games held recent iy at Tokio, Japan, disclose an excel lent long distance road running feat by Japanese. The Marathon race of 25 miles was won by Hashimoto, a sturdy distance runner who was first to cross the finish line in the fast time of two hours, 31 minutes. 23 3-5 seconds.
 s It was in this and other distance races and swimming contests that the Japanese athletes piled up the big lead which finally won the meet for the Nipponese as the Chinese and Filipinos showed to better advantage in the sprints and field events. The Japan ese swimmers far excelled their Ori- ental rivals. In the nine swimming races Japan scored forty-seven points while China and the Philippines had to be contented with three each. Every race was won by a Japanese, and in every event the former records were badly beaten.
 The feature of the last days pro- gram was the winning of the Decath- / Ion by Noguchi, a Japanese, with the total score of 678 points. In the first five events, Saavedra, the Filipino who won the Decathlon at the last meet of the Far Eastern games, led all others, and he was expected to carry off the honor again, but in the slone mile run, Noguchi. the Japanese won the first place. villanueva, g Filipino. was second with the score o1 -646 and Saayedra was third with 641 points Noguchi obtained most of his points ia the running events and broad jump.

Crowds at Games In West Good in Spite of
 Backward Weather

Those who have been crying loud 1y that baseball fans have been desert ing the diamond to read war bulletins are barking up the wrong tree, judg- ing by the crowds that turned out to see the Griffmen in the West, writes Louis Dougher,S in. the Washington Times. There is just as much inter est in the game as ever, in the West at least.
 Cold, threatening weather could not keep. the bugs away in Cleveland or Detroit. The Sixth City fans were loyalty supporting Lee Foh1s team. The Griffs hit the Tigers in the mid- dle of a serious slump, but the De- troit rooters were on hand every day.
 The weather was warmer in St. Louis; ia fact, to, the chilled Griffnen, it was a. bit too warm. The Brownies ] had dropped four straight before fac- ing the Griffmen and them proceeded to make it six straight, but the fans were on hand just the same, and there was plenty of baseball gossip every where in town
 Chicago, one of the two best base ball cities in the United States, was rabid over making overcoats neces- sitys good7sized throngs turned out to see Clark Griffith's lads in.eaction.
 This has been a cold spring for the baseball fans, but they are coming out again, now that the sunshine is warm ing up things. The dyed-in-the-wool rooter just won't stay put. He wants to eat his peanuts, drink his soda pop, munch his hot dog, and yell. This season is to be no exception to the rule. either judging from conditions in the West.

Tn a. series of ten questions and an- swers a father expHlinsSto his son the meaning of the Liberty Bond issue and the reasons why every man should purchase bonds to the limit of his ability.
 1. Father, everybody is talking about Liberty Bonds. VIII you tell ne just what is a Liberty Bond ana why all the people are buying them! z
 ssThe United States was forced to go to war with Germany to keep the world from being overrun by brutal German soldiers who would make us all slaves. so, that the world would not be flt to live Tn! When the United States went to war it needed great sums of money to pay he soldiers. feed them and clothe them, so the government decided to issue Liberty Bonds .At
 2"Yes, father, k~4ow that we are at, war, but I do not understand just what the Liberty Bonds have to, do with the war -sl .war is the most expensive thing in the worlds ne government must pay the bfIls. The government has but two ways of raising the money, one is by increasing taxes. the other IS by Issuing bonds"
 , $. t3uI, IdLner, iOO not uLsfSiSIeeiiN1 the difference between taxes and bonds"
 "A tax means that the government charges each person so much for al most everything he eats and wears. When you increase taxes the people who are alive today have to pay the whole hdll. IA bond is a mortgage on everything the government owns. Each man loans the government so much and then the government pays him 1 interest for a number of years, and finally pays him back the amount that he loaned originally. In this way the cost offthe war is scattered over many years and the people who live twenty years from now will have to pay 3 part of the expense"
 A. "Just how does it work, father?'
 It works this way--1 give the &ov- ernment $50 and the government prombises to pay it back to me at the \ end of 30 years, or sooner, and at the same time the government pays me interest at the rate of three and one
