FOIL PARIS COCHERS

about routes. They have solved the
night holdup by climbing into the cab
despite the protestations of the cab
men. If it is not later than the hour
liked for him to quit work he must
take them at the regular fare where
they wish to go or drive to a police
station and justify his refusal.
AS the average cocher wants as little
to do with the police as possible, he
rarely If ever appeals to them.
At one of the ports used by the
Americans for landing troops the cab
men charged the soldiers such exor-
bitant prices that the men went to the
police, obtained copies of the regula-
tons governing the cochers and there
after paid only regular fares, giving
no tips. The cochers retaliated by re-
fusing to take American soldiers as

cab anyhow they stopped dead where
they were and refused to move. II

Both Die for Love

A sad sequel followed a thwarted
love affair at Tarumi, Japan. A young
man suffered from heart trouble. and
went to home to undergo treatment.
Here he met. fell in love with, and be-
came engaged to girl. but without the
knowledge of either his or her par
ents. When the young peoples rela-
lions were discovered by the parents,
both families strongly opposed the pro-
posed marriage. and made every eff
fort to prevent further meetings. The
attitude of the parents so upset the
young people that the girl became i'll

young man became deeply depressed,
and finally left his home and commit.

The DIVIDING Line.

Hardly an impression. opinion. or ac-
ton is possible to us that is not infiu-
enced and directed by fixed conditions
within ourselyes-habits. We should
all strive to get the habit of making
the most of our everyday tasks, and Il
would soon become second nature to
do everything so well that in the end
we would be sure to win prominence
through 1t. The dividing line between
efficiency and inefliciency is largely
right here, and none of these habits
too small to be worth attention. It
seems that we cannot escape being con-
trclled by them, but we have free
choice between the habits that are
good and helpful and habits that are
bad and harmful.-Exchange.

tered about the country, chiefly in the
larger cities. Not one citizen in twen-
~ could have told how 1t worked or
what 1t did, except that In great dis
asters II cared for the victims.
Even one year ago, when the war
had been going on for more than two
years, and II seemed inevitable that
we should be dragged in, there were
only 163,5S7 Red Cross members and
$50 chapters.
Today there are more than 1000 900
Rec Cross members, and 2,736 chap
tiers, with new chapters being formed
and new members enrolled all the
time. Four hundred thousand Of these
100000 members are paid subscribers
of the Red Cross Magazine.
OF course this tremendous expan-
sion, coming In a single year, has ut
terly overwhelmed the scheme Of ad-
which was adequate for
10000 members. An entirely new
system was imperative, and 1t is now
being installed. Briefly, this is how
1t works:
The active head of the Red Cross is
General Manager Harvey d. Gibson,
who has volunteered his time for the
duration of the war. The work is
apportioned among bureaus-those Of
development, publicity, women, nurs-
ing, civilian relief. milit lry relief, sup
plies and accounting.
The territory of the United States
has been divided into thirteen sections,
each headed by a division manager.
Each of these managers, like Mr.. Glib
son, has volunteered his services with
put pay so long as the war shall last. |
Each manager is now recognizing the |
administration of his division to cor
respond with that at Washington, with |
