duty to return that book.
So the following Sunday Ellis Stew.
ems, carrying "Pendennis," called at
Rose Maxweli's clearinghouse. An
incongruous lardlady met him at the
brown.stone entrance. Miss Maxwell
had moved. No she didn't know her
present address. No. she couldn't
sivo him any idea as to where to find
her; she had moved some weeks ago.
Disconsolately Ellis went home. and
dapositing the copy of 'Peudennis" on
his study table he sat regarding it
mournfully. He might advertise.
That was something he had not
thought of before. To be sure, he
would advertise! So the following
morning this notice appeared in the

never been away from the shop.
After an interminable while the
old gentleman departed. and Ellis ap.
preached the girl. She was still read

Ellis thought she was pale and lit

"Was 1t you who advertised my

THE TAX RATE

TT Is not remarkable that the city is
facing a tax rate Of 81 or more.
Property owners should be thankful that
it is so low.
The city's business is the only business
we know Of in which the buyer and the
seller are one and the same. When the
City makes a contract with a political
contractor, it is in fact the contractor
making a contract with himself He
knows in advance what the specifications
will be, puts in the necessary jokers to
keep other contractors from bidding, ap-
points the city's inspectors, has the job
accepted by his own minions in behalf
Of the city, distributes part Of the large
profits to maintain his political power
and pockets the rest.
Under such a business arrangement it
is surprising that "A tax rate of 81 is not
necessary. People who want to reduce
the cost of living can make good start
in that direction by putting the afore.

The Red Cross War Council Is seeking to
render an account Of its stewardship to the
American people in the most effective man
ner possible. 1t is giving frequent an
nouncements of its activities, and every fact
concerning the work of the Red Cross Is
available to everybody We now wish to
go step further and give a detailed ac-
count of our stewardship, as we'll as advise
with Red Cross workers and supporters
throughout the country as to Red Cross
policy and methods. We have felt that this
,vo,,ld heat he done nnDaarinP face to
face before audiences and representative
citizens, telling the Red CVoss story, an
swering questions and ourselves gaining a
more complete knowledge of public senti-
ment.
We are extremely anxious that the peo-
pie at large should be fully informed as
TO the methods and policies adopted In
handling the great fund with which the
Red Cross War Council has been intrusted
and also that all policies and activities of
the Red Cross should be In accord with a
fully informed public sentiment
The purpose of this trip is not TO solicit
subscriptions or to- take collections. al
though we expect to give to the American
people the latest advice we have received as
to conditions in France, Russia, iRumania,
Italy and Serbia.
our reports indicate that the American
Red Cross has an opportunity TO lend a
helpinR hand and to carry a practical mes
sage of cheer to suffering humanity such
as no philanthropic undertaking in the his
| tory of the work has ever had before
Accompanying Mr.. Davisonand Mr.. Gibson
| on this trip will be the Rev. Robert Davis
| of Englewood, n j., who has just returned
| from France, having gone to Paris with the
| American Red Cross commission in May.
