PORTO R|CAN RED
CROSS ONLY UNIT
OUTSIDE OF j. s.

tBy Associated Press to Tho Bannerl
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 5 (By
Mail to New York; Twelve hundred
new members for the Red Cross is
the record made by the membership
committee of the Porto Rico chapter
of the American Red Cross in San
Juan during Red Cross week. Though
reports from committees working in
other parts of the island have not yet
come in, it is known that the work was
almost as successful on smaller
scale elsewhere. There are now four
thousand members of the Porto Rico
chapter i'm San Juan alone, and sever
al hundred more in the other towns,
with the number increasing every day
The Porto Rico chapter is said here
to be the first chapter of the American
Red Cross to be organized outside of
continental United States. The char
ter was not granted until May 1, two
months after citizenship had been con
ferred on the Porto Ricans by an act
of congress, and the recognition of
Porto Rico as Il territory of the Unit
ed States was the deciding factor in
granting the charter.
On account of the newness of the
organization the campaign for mem
bers did not stop at the end of the
national Red Cross week, but will
continue until the maximum number
is secured. 1t is expected that $4,000
members will be obtained before the
end of the campaign. Committees are
at work in all of the large towns and
arc being organized in the small ones
The campaign thus far has been
solely for membership, the funds col
lected coming from the initiation fees,
but as soon as the cnlisting move
ment is we'll organized throughout the
island, a campaign for funds will be-
gin.
The Porto RiCans are displaying 4
remarkable spirit of patriotism Their
interest in the work and mission of
the Red Cross is heightened because
of the fact that Porto Rican troops
already are in the United States ser
vice, and because others soon will be
called to the colOrs.

An Aued Gander,

The birds that live to great age are
comparatively few. Gulls have been
known to reach forty years, parrots
frequently live eighty years and swans
nearly as long. Ravens and owls usu-
ally die somewhat younger, but there
is good reason to believe that eagles
and falcons sometimes live more than
hundred years. OF barnyard fowls
ducks and geese live longest. d. Mac
Lachlan of IsIay, Scotland, writes to
the Field that lie has a gander that is
now sixty-six years old. For forty-fve
years it belonged to the proprietor of
hotel at Bridgend, Scotland. Twenty
one years ago the father-in-law of the
present owner bought it. Mr.. Mac
Lachlan says that the gander looks as
well and as young and seems as active
as it ever did. There is no doubt about
its age.

ROMANCE OF COAL.
6sme Of the Products This Complex
Material Yields to Man.


Coal seems to be rather an uninter-
esting thing. Who would imagine
that the great, ugly black Jumps could
afford any one a subject worthy OF
study? And yet this same coal has
given civilization many of Its greatest
possessions. The beautiful pink scarfs
worn by women are colored with dyes
that come from coal. The gas used to
illuminate and to heat our homes Is a
product of the distlllation of coal. Val
liable chemicals, such as benzine, naph-
thalene and toluene, are coal products.
protecting roofs from rain Is also a
byproduct of the commercial treatment
of coal, and finally aniline, the basis Of
aniline dyes and coloring materials, Is
one of the valuable chemicals contain
ed In coal.
Coal is indeed one of the most COM
plex materials to be found in all ma
ture. TO learn what 1t is we must go
back to the dim, geological ages. The
luxuriant vegetation Of these past
times, untrammeled by human feet and
uncut by human hands, year after year
grew, bloomed, faded and decayed,
forming deep beds Of rotted, woody
fiber.
BY degrees certain gases, such as
hydrogen and oxygen, were partly lost
from the mass of vegetable material.
Pressure and heat converted this ma
terial into what we know as coal--St
Louis Post Dispatch.
