Guiding those elected TO Office, and
the ones who will hold appointive
places, will simply walk into their
respective posts and begin their du-

Mayor-elect Carson declared to a
News Times reporter last night that
the quiet custom Of former years in
South Bend attending the induction
Of city officials would be observed
when he and his cabinet assume the
duties of their Offices a week from
Tuesday.
DR.. Carson and the other elective

1t merely remains for the aD-
pointive officials 10 take their oaths

1t is said that efforts are be-
ing made in st. Johns to dis,
credit the noble work of the
Red Cross workers, on the part
of one or two individuals. II
is said by these evil disposed
persons that some of the con-
tributions are not being used
for the purpose in which they
are intended. Any person hear
ing such rumors should en-
deavor to find out the origina-
tor and report the cases at the
Red Cross headquarters. AS a
matter of fact the strictest ac-
count is kept Of all contribu-
tions made for Red Cross pur.
poses, the government being
very particular in keeping tab
of these contributions. lt is to
be deplored that any one should
be so malicious as to spread re.
ports that would tend TO dis.
credit or dishearten Red Cross
workers. II is certain that il
the government apprehended
anyone grating or divertinp
these contributions from the
source in which they are in.
tended would be dealt with
without mercy, as should be
the case.
