One HUNDRED MERCIFUL MILLIONS

volunteer movement of history.
The Red Cross shares no enmities, serves no flag but its
own. 1t is Gods agent, His healing. mercitul wil-the
answer of twenty ever-gentler centuries to red barbarism.
Twelve million orphan children are wandering about
E~urope-twelve million frightened little boys and terrorized
little girls, sent adrnt to sob alone and perish in the wastes
to live like swine and die like ours, unless magnificent
America ransoms them from death-and worse.
How many of your plying dollars will search the desc
lations and save them for Tomorrows works?
The Red Cross needs another Hundred Million, to CLEAN
the battle areas for this precious seed before it rots in mind
and body-before grief and horror and disease and unre-
strant irrevocably blight them,
One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stife pesti-
lence, to stamp out hideous tevers. to check an ~earth-wide
wave of tuberculosis, to destroy ~shuddering flths where
verminous plaques feed and breed and threaten all the uni
verse.
One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build rest
stations, to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to
forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy
medicines and operating Instruments, to re-educate the mutt
lated and show the blind where Hope still shines.
One Hundred Millions to maintain communication with
detention, camps, to provide war prisoners with food and
dece ncieslstn take messages out and bring letters in. to
negatiaA for e.~forts and privileges for the captured. to buy
blaor in the mthem and clothes and books and tobacco.

CARE V TIRES

Less tire trouble and greater mile

the seemingly unimportant details
about his car, advises The B. +. Good
rich Rubber Co.
One source of trouble that many
motorists overlook is the rim, which
if allowed to rust can cause a tire 10
deteriorate about as quickly as any
other way. A very good way to avoid
this trouble is to keep your rims GOV
cred with regular rim paint.
If you use clincher rims it is a good
policy to examine them occasionally

If one watches these little details they
are bound to have better success in
getting service from their tires.
