RED CROSS TO
AID RUMAN|ANS
CROWDED CONDITIONS MAKE
HELP FOR PEOPLE A
NECESSITY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IA
The American RED Cross war coun-
eli has appropriated $1,250,OOO for
emergency relief work in Roumania.
w. H. Anderson, chairman of the
Red Cross commission to Roumania,
has cabled Henry p. Dawson, chair
mar of the Red Cross war council,
of a shortage of food and especially
food fats. The military hospitals
also are in need of bedding, and
surgical and medical supplies in
large quantities. No supplies of
this kind are available there.
Approximately $1,000, 600 of the
appropriation will be used for the
purchase of 1000 tons of foodstuffs.
Another large item in the appro-
priation will supply 10000 pairs
OF shoes. Medical supplies will be
SEN in large quantities.
The need of relief in Roumania
is particularly pressing because o
the overcrowded condition of GER
tain areas, caused by the war Oper
ations. In a territory normally oc-
cupied by 100000 persons there is
now a population of 100000, &C
cording to advices cabled by Red
Cross workers in the field. Mea-
sures to relieve the needs developed
by this situation will be put into
effect as speedily as possible.

Animal World Law

Animal World Law
The punishment that birds and
animals mete ont to their criminals
and the court and legal proceedings
connected with it furnish an inter-
esting geld of study.
An interesting example of an
animal trial is furnished by an OBJ
server. A little dog had, for no
apparent reason, been mistreated
by larger bulldog. At once the
little fellow secured the neighbor-
hood and collected all the bones he
could find, burying them in the
cellar of a house. When he had
succeed in securing a sufficient
number he issued invitations to all
the CANNES in the neighborhood,
the bulldog alone excepted.
The guests came from all direc
tions, the halt, the lame and the
hungry. When justice had been
done to the banquet the host arose
and made an eloquent after-dinner
speech, in which he laid before the
assembled company his case. They
heard him through, then declared
the offending and absent bulldog to
be guilty and at once proceeded to
carry out the sentence of chastise-
ment.
1t is said that a stork, whose
morals we're sadly out of repair,
once appropriated to himself the
companion of neighbor. The in
jured lady, with great dispatch,
called together the storks of the
district. He was found guilty and
sentenced, and the court immedi-
ately turning executioner, fell up
on him and tore him to pieces.
A similar scene, quite common
among rocks, is described by an
ornithologist. The culprit, brave
and jaunty, stood surrounded by
forty or fifty of his indignant
mates. AS the trial progressed
the accused little by little lost his
jaunty air and hung his head in
humiliation. When the sentence
had been pronounced the court at
once fell to and pecked him to
death.
| 1t is quite common in early
spring for young and inexperi-
enced sparrows to steal twigs and
other building material from the
nests of elders. If this theft is de-
tected, as it usually is, a posse
promptly visits the offenders nest
and scatters it to the four winds,
soundly thrashing the occupant in
the bargain.
"A story is told of sparrow who
had stolen the nest of a martin,
and was making himself comfort
able in it. The angry owner sum-
moned all his friends and immedi-
ately they came, several hundred
strong, but the intruder held them
at bay for some time by pecking
all who came near enough to the
opening. Finally the avengers
withdrew and held a consultation.
In few moments they returned,
each with a mouthful of mud, and
proceeded to plaster up the hole,
walling the occupant up alive.
The story is told that a French
surgeon, wishing to procure stork
but being unable to do so, stole
some eggs from a nest and substi-
tuted hens 8 eggs. The innocent fe-
male hatched them out, but the
male, angry at the strange ap-
pearance of his offspring, went
Iaway. Three or four days later
he reappeared, accompanied by
several others. who formed a cir
|cle about him while he argued his
case. The jury without retiring
brought in a verdict of guilty, -
and the poor, innocent mother was
executed.-Ex.

llN3y three games have all
been decided by one run, which is
all perfectly proper, if they 60 to
the home team otherwise nix.
The visitors were not slow to
demonstrate the size of tie punch
they pack along with them, both
at bat and in the field. Arthur
Doherty did some very nice field
ing out in the left garden and put
a stop to number of promising
chances to score.
Murphy, who did the hurling
for the visitors, got away strong
and was not found with any sue
cess until the fourth when the lo-
calls found him for three solid ones
and two infield scratches, scoring
five runs. The hitting was about
even on both sides. Wells pitched
another good game, extricating
himself easily from most of the
pinches, and was in trouble in only
one inning-the fifth.
The weather was warm enough
to suit the most exacting and the
players worked up a good sweat
just travelling to and from the wa
ter bucket. There were a number
of visitors who viewed the game
from the seats at the rear of the
Auditorium.

Wake Up! Fight! Win!

That means you We quit.
You're discouraged?
That means you've been false to
yourself in that you haven't kept
your eye on your goal.
You are NOT licked.
How do we know? Well you're
no fool are you? Only a fool
would quit before he finishes.
You're not discouraged. You're
blind. Yes, blind.
Self-satisfaction has brought
about mental blindness, moral ig-

a cramped mentality.
You can't do big things, worth
while things with small thoughts
or worthless ideals.
How big are your thoughts
How much are your ideals worth
Do you know?
You never stopped to consider?
Never thought it worth while? Do
you mean to say that you've reach
ed your majority and yet have no
standard with which to measure
your thinking?
You admit this and then ask,
whats the use?" Discourage
ment? Never! It's just plain,
loathesome laziness. LAZINESS.
You would like to make pro-
gress and yet you're too lazy to
make the effort.
Uncover your faults. That's the
the only way to start correcting
them.
Expose your shortcomings. De-
nOunce them. Get mad at them.
Then rise above them. Have moth
ing more to do with them.
You can't? You mean it's too
much trouble.
Discouraged? Licked?
Where's your manhood?
Listen. In the midst of the bat
ties smoke you can't see what
you've gained. Keep fighting and
when the air has cleared your good
work will be plain.
If Lincoln had stopped after
Bull Run would the Union Army
have wan the Civil War?
You can't expect to win battle
with half f-a-fght.
Licked?
Where's your self-confdence:
Where's your ability? Where's
your self-esteem?
| Use them. That's what you We
got them for.
A locomotive can't pull a train
without a steady flow of steam
from her boiler to her cylinders.
| Wake up! Rouse yourself! Put
off this hypnotic spell of self-pity
you've put upon yourself. Find
out how poor you are. Find out
wherein you need to develop. Then
play up to the game.
You've got courage! You've got
endurance! You've got ability!
Strength, might, power are yours.
For at the very bottom of yourself
you have that big, wholesome de-
sire that knows no defeat, no fail
ure. The desire to be always right
is the basis of your being.
Give yourself chance. Exer-
else your inherent ability. There s
no obstacle as big as you are if
you'll only open your eyes.
Discouraged?
Discover yourself! Find out
whereto your motives lead you.
Is your reasoning in line with
the results you're after? You
don't know, eh? Find out!
j Quit your knocking. Stop find
ing fault. Do you enjoy hearing
man talk a lot and do nothing?
Come down from your pedestal.
You're no diety capable of decid-
ing the rightness of every purpose,
: every motive of every man. You
may have an opinion. That proves
J nothing. Consider it from all sides
: before you voice. When you come
right down to brass tacks, we are
