THE FIRST BED CROSS.

The Red Cross is at least 800 years
old, for it was that long ago that a
soldier first wore the emblem to mark
him as one who ministered to the sick
and wounded. The history of the sign
is communicated in a letter to The
New York Evening Post by Mr.. Steph.
en- H. Morgan who names the first
bearer Of it:
f1ls was Camillus de Lillis, to
WEom Pope Sixtus v. granted permits.
sion to use a red cross as the distin.
gWshed mark of the society he was
forming and which Pope XVI. confirm.
ed by founding the order in 1914.
n. The real origin Of the badge of the
Red Cross came from a dream which
Camilla. Compelia de Lillis, mother
of Camillus, had just before he was
born. In this dream she saw a child
with red cross on his breast follow.
ed by other children with similar EN-,
blems.
"Camillus de Lillis by his work as a
nurse and the reforms he brought
about in caring for the sick, both in
hospitals and on the battlefield was
eventually canonized a saint. and
Pope XIII, on June %, 1886, announc.
ed that st, Camillus de Lillis would
be the patron of nurses, whether they
wore a Red Cross badge or not.
when the late Mayor Gaynor was
shot and taken to St. Francis hospital
in Hoboken, in what was thought to
be a dying condition, Big Bill Ed.

nurses in the United States should at.
tend the distinguished patient. The
mayor overheard the order, and in the
weak voice left to him, whispered: 4

Sister of st. Francis, with a red cross

MONEY FOR GEORGIA D. A. r
RED CROSS FUND.

The Georgia Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution are busy making UP
the fund pledged by them to furnish
an ambulance to the army as their
contribution to the Red Cross. The
sale of novelty in necklaces which
is a unique specimen of handicraft
and the creation of an Atlanta woman
is adding materially to this fund. Ev-
erybody is proud to own one of these
patriotic necklaces which no doubt
will be preserved and handed down
from generation to generation as a
valued patriotic hearloom In refer
ing to this necklace which is finding
such ready sale, the Constitution says:
Mrs. Lollie Belle Wylie has made a
bead necklace out of the printed
speech Of President Wilson calling
upon congress for a declaration of
war. Long slides of the printed white
enameled paper alternate with red,
white and blue beads, and these are
varied by>an occasional steel head
given to Georgia woman by her son,
an officer on the battleship Georgia
during the Spanish-American war.
In Tic pendant is enclosed the pic
ture OF the president and the whole
is patriotic ornament which will go
to the holder of lucky number on
the tickets for patriotic celebration

rection Of Mrs. S. w. Foster, ivce pres
ident general from Georgia, and chair

The livestock men say that while meat products are higher priced now than ever before in the history of the meat industry the price of cat tie. sheep and hogs is lower than it was two years ago.

Nearly 10000 invitations have been sent to men and women interested in various branches of the livestock in dustry throughout the country to a. tend the annual convention of the Panhandle & Southwestern Stock mems association which will be held in Ell Paso March 6, and s, next. Breeders, feeders, brokers, packers and handlers of meat products have been included in. the list of those whose presence is desired during the discussion of the many questions of importance to all connected with the livestock industry which will come up for discussion at the Fl Paso conven- tion.
 Following the lead of the American National Livestock association, at its convention held in Cheyenne few days ago, it is expected that the Pan handles & :,; Southwestern association will demand that the United States take steps to protect American live stock interests in Mexico, now that the Punitive Expedition has been or dered withdrawn. AS many of the members of the Panhandle association are actually engaged in the cattle anc sheep business in Mexico the question raised at the Cheyenne convention Is of peculiar interest to the cattlemer all along the border.
 Another question of absorbing in terest which will come up for discus sion at the Fl Paso convention is tha

AUTO FUTURE IS ON
 FIRM GROUND
Over Production is Not Probable for Several Years

So much has been written relative to the development of the motor car industry and so many prophecies have been ventured without proper consid- eration of vital and controlling fac tors, that a clear and simple analy- sis of the subject may serve to dis sipate much of the unfounded conjec- ture.
 The automobile market is divided into two broad fields. First the rural class, which includes all persons en- gagged in farming and others in vari- ous businesses who live in towns of less than 800 population; second, the urban class, which comprises all peo- pie in any but farming pursuits, who live in towns of 500 or more popula-- tion.
 In the rural or farming market, there are 6.500,000 families. One million of these now own motor cars and one and one-half millions are poor, illiterate, or Negroes, who foI the purpose of this study may be eX cluded from the prospective buying

Ignacio Bonillas formerly taught school in Tucson on Congress street years ago. Many Tucson business men of today were among his pupils. He married Miss Borton, sister of Miss Lizzie Borton. He graduated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became a civil en- eineer at Nogales, Sonora.
 He became identified with the revolutionary movement against the Diaz government. General Carranza made him secretary of communica' lions in his cabinet.
 When the joint commission was appointed Carranza made him one ot the three Mexican members.
 He has probably a better under standing of the American ideals and American customs than any other man in Mexico.
