RED CROSS NOTES

If you are at all interested in Red
Cross work, visit the new work rooms
which are open every afternoon of
the week, except Sunday, from / 80
to $50 p. m. The rooms have been
thoroughly cleaned, repapered, paint
ed, floor scrubbed and covered with
linoleum and long work tables COW
cred with black oilcloth. At these
rooms you will find number of earn
est. sincere women clothed in long
sleeved white aprons and caps, quiet
ly and swiftly making all kinds of
surgical dressings, bandages and the
things needed at the battle front
There are two sewing machines with
electric motors attached; also two
electric irons for pressing the many
different kinds of bandages. Those
who do not have the aprons and caps
are provided with other kind Of work,
so that all who are willing can easily
find something to do, and no one will
be turned away, for there is a great
need of these supplies at the present
time. Materials and patterns have
been ordered and as soon as they ar
rive additional work rooms will be OPP
ened in the basement Of the Christian
church, where we will make all kinds
of hospital garments for the wounded
soldiers in France.
The Seward County Red Cross
Chapter wishes to extend thanks to
L. w. Stevenson for having tele-
phone installed in our rooms. We
very much appreciate such courtesies.
We now have a separate room for
our wraps and in which to prepare
for the work in the other depart
ments. We also have convenient
Mushroom, necessities which we ap-
preciate.
The few faithful who went to the
court house while we worked there
wish to extend vote Of thanks to all
the county officials, and especially to
]. W. Campbell, who was always
ready and willing to help us at all
times. We will miss his "helping
hands" in our new quarters and ex-
tend to him a cordial invitation to
visit US occasionally. We can find
work for him here as well as at the
old place If he comes seeking an out
let for his energy in work.
A. goodly number of the Eastern
Star ladies took charge of the work
rooms Tuesday evening and did a
wonderful amount of work. We will
be glad to welcome you often.
Many of the school teachers are
coming to the work rooms each even
ing after their school work is over.
Their bright and CHEEKY presence is
an inspiration to those who have
been working during the afternoon.
Miss Wells of Hutchinson, who
was here over the weekend in the
interest of the Red Cross work, did
a splendid thing by her talks at the
churches and various other places in
that she created in the minds Of many
persons a desire to do more in the
future than they have in the past,
and we have felt the impetus in the
increased attendance at the work
rooms.

Boys At Girls School.

The instructors in the branch of the
Girls Industrial school, which meets
at the Flanner Guild. were surprised
when the school opened a few weeks
ago to find a class of boys ready and
anxious to begin work.
'Don't you understand this school Is
for girls only7" asked one Of the teach
ers.
Eyes, we heard that, but what's the
difference? We want to learn to sew"
The teachers were in quandary,
but finally decided to give the boys
their first lesson with the needle; but
the sight Of the boys sewing caused
the girls much merriment, and made SO
much confusion that It was decided to
bar them.
They appeared the next Saturday,
however, and begged so hard to be
taken In that they are now regular fix.
lures. The work they do is equal to
that Of the girls. and the teachers are
proud Of them. They take more than
the usual amount of interest and spend
all Of the time they are in school at
work.-Indianapolis News.

Seaman Worthy Of Hi. Uniform.

A cry for help never goes unheeded
when there is a man of the United
States navy standing by. No matter
where-on land, at sea, in calm or
storm, daylight or dark-he is quick
to respond and ready to take the
chance that makes rescue possible.
An instance of this is reported from
Newport, R. l., where the bravery Of
Robertson McGregor, fireman, third
class, attached toi the naval training
school at that place, has just been
rewarded by a letter of commendation
from Secretary Daniels. It was night
and unusually dark when McGregor
heard the cry Of help coming from tile
bay. Rushing to the water, he located
the sound, and without any further
hesitation jumped overheard and
swan in the direction Of the cry.
There were no more cries, but, sens
ing his direction, the fireman kept on
swimming until he came across body.
It was an apprentice seaman, who had
become unconscious In his fight for
life. Although still wearing his cloth
ing, McGregor took hold Of his man
and brought him safely to the shore.
This man only enlisted in the navy last
May, having been recruited at Albany,
N. Y. His mother, Mrs. Margaret Nc
Gregor, lives on Maple street at Lee
Mass.

a NEAR CALAMITY.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders Of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city late In the
afternoon, each occupying big cush-
Toned seat in the car. Mary wished to
know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five hours explana-
tion by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in a bed made over
their seats, which would be complet-
ed by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop a man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving. up Of the
seat was for time, enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
the question:
Mamma, If we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleep?"
'"That man" and the rest in the
car laughed. The explanation process
began all over again.-Indianapolis
News.

BueLe IN MODERN WARFARE
something Of an Analogy Between
That instrument and the Trumpsts
Sounded at Jericho.

A glass bar set vibrating lengthwise
by sound will smash to pieces II the
sound rise to high enough key-that
Is, If the number Of vibrations becomes
great enough. And the hardest metals,
such as iron and steel, will break like
glass under the rhythmic shock of oft
repeated feeble blows. For this rea-
son when regiments march across a
metal bridge they are always ordered
| to break step. in order that the impact
Of their feet may not set up rhythmic
vibrations in the structure.
Many persons who have mania for
explaining in materialistic way all
the wonders related in the Bible have
conjectured that when the walls Of
Jericho fell under the trumpet blasts
Of Joshua's army these were keyed to
set up in the walls precisely the vibra-
tions that would shatter them. And
| 1t may be said that this explanation is
by no means confined to materialists,
for this very opinion was held also by
the old Jewish rabbls, as well as by
st. Augustine, st. Jerome and st. Am
brose. But Father Athanasius Kir-
cher, s. j., in his learned treatise, "Mu-
surgia universalis" (book Ky, showed
the insufficiency of such physical ex-
PLANTATION and concluded that only n
miracle could have produced that ef-
feet.
Nicolas Flannel, writing in La Nature
on the acoustics of speaking trumpets,
cites the aforementioned authors and
mentions the highly interesting fact
that great French scientist showed
the officers of the troops that recap
tured the fort of Douaumont year
ago way to use the bugle. Until then
and ever since the Germans dug them
selves in after their defeat on the
Marne the bugles had been silent, as
they could be heard equally well in the
enemys trenches. M. Flannel adds
that this scientist has since then made
great improvements in the use Of the
bugle at the front, but military exigen-
cies forbid going into details.

ToRPEDoEs ON FOUR WHEELS
Explosive Propelled Toward Enemy
Trenches and Controlled by Means

La Domenlca Del Corriere, Italy, re-
ports new war device, the invention
Of an English engineer. STAFFORD Tai
bot. Literally, 1t is Il torpedo on wheels
which may be propelled toward the en-
emy trenches and controlled from the
starting point by means of attached
wires.
The explosive is mounted on metal
lie box which rides on four wheels.
Attached to the box is contrivance
consisting Of n dynamo which propels
the wheels. The entire machine is
electrically controlled, permitting the
explosion Of the charge Mt the desired
moment.
Two parallel wires connect the tor
pedO with the control station. These
are carried on spools and unwind as
the machine advances. The power is
derived from accommodating batteries
ut the starting point. When 1t is de-
sired to fire the charge all that is re-
quired is to push buttons- According
to the inventor the total cost of this
contrivance is about $3.50.
