E CROSS NOTES.

As the boys expect to leave for the
various Camps next week We would
urge all those who are knitting to make
an extra effort to return their articles
soon, that we may be able to provide
all with the outfits. We need socks
and would ask any who can knit them
to call at Headquarters for wool.
The various auxiliaries and units
are turning out splendidly-made hos
pital garments and yet Pleasantville
could and should do more.
We shall be settled in our new head
quarters next week and hope 10 double
our output. as we shall have room for
many more workers.
On the first Friday of each month
hereafter we shall give a detailed re
port of all work done for the previous
month, including receipts and expen.
ditures.
Many who joined the Red Cross dur
ing the Christmas drive have not iden-
tilted themselves with us and we
would be glad to have them visit the
rooms, see the work and enter into il
as far as they are able. Everyone
whether a member or not, is welcome
at the Headquarters, which is oper
every afternoon from two to five. (

the endeavor of each member to be
present prepared for work.
Let us try to make this the banner

success depends on you and me and
not on the 'other fellow" We each
have a part that cannot be accom-
plished by another.

FUNERAL AT 2 THIS AFTERNOON

For the second time this season H.
S. fell before the strong Naval Re
serves of Atlantic City, Friday night,
1926. As in the first game the Re-
serves came from behind and swept
H. S. off her feet in the second half.
BY her two victories over the H. S.
team, the Naval Reserves clearly dem
onstrated her superiority in basket
ball. At n stage of the game r. S.
seemed like a sure winner. leading p
3. However, the visitors found them
down. The first half ended with H. S.
in the lead by a narrow margin of
one point, 20-19. In the second half
H. S. scored only six points while the
deep sea artists fairly bombarded the
basket with eight field goals. Bales
trieri did not play the game he is cap
able of playing. LaYigna and Wallis,
likewise. showed very poor form in
the second period. Capt. Baker was
the one bright star for H. s., while
Jeffries. Schaaf and DeGrossa shot fiji
teen field goals between them. The
H. S. boys will have to settle down to
strict training rules in order to win a
majority OF their games. Training is
absolutely essential in all branches of
athletics. Without this training H. S.

THE RED CROSS
By c. P. Simonton.

Upon the blood-stained breast of war,
A crimson cross in field of white,
AS minister, not cOnqueror,
Fer shines by day and CLEANS by
night.
No devotee to glory kneels;
She serves mankind on land and sea,
Wars cruel wounds, diseases, heals
And soothes deaths pangs and agony.
W.
A thousand leagues from wars red
stream,
In humble home, in mansion fair,
The crimson cross there, too, doth
gleam-
The fires of love are burning therel
IT'S not for gain that women brave,
Their needles ply and scissors WELD;
Their handiwork will heroes save
When wounded on the battlefield.
They, too, shall wear a glorious crown,
If not on earth, in heaven above;
Loves labor twas none sought re-
nown-
For God hath said that God is love.

HAWAIIAN TROUPE SECURED
BY MANAGER COPPENBARGEF

Manager w. L. Coppenbarger has
secured large company Of native
Hawaiians for a visit to this city
January 10. The company is COM
posed of real Hawaiians who are rec
ognized as the most popular artists
Of the day. The organization pre-
sents a Hawaiian musical satire in
two parts. The first part shows the
beautiful tropical beach at Waikiki,
also showing the famous Diamond
Head Mountain with its volcano with
real smoke issuing therefrom.
Members of the company represent
Hawaii's most famous instrumental
lists, singers and dancers. Five mem
bers of the organization come direct
from the royal palace, Honolulu,
where they have been entertainers for
the dowager queen.
Mr. M. R. Bell, native Hawaiian,
is conductor Of the organization, and
is recognized as king of the steel
instrument and the Hawaiian flute.
Princess Lehula, who is a member
of the company. bears the distine-
ton of coming from one of the royal
families of the islands. She is Great
ing much favorable comment in pre-
senting native Hawaiian dances.
There is nothing suggestive that
could possibly cause any criticism in
the dances as presented by the prin-
cess, as the real Hawaiian dances are
of such character that many of the
so-called interpretations Of the dances
given by artists are incorrect.
This organization drew immense
crowds at the Palace of Music at the
Panama-Pacific international Expo
sition, and from the great patronage
and appreciation shown in other cit
les, their visit here will no doubt be
greeted by a packed house.
