FAITH IN RED CROSS
Confidence of Wounded Tribute
to Organization.
Discharged Veteran Tells Of Heroic
Devotion to Duty While
Under Fire.

Chicago.-"What could any army dc
without the Red CROSSE" asks Sergt.
Ronald Kingsley, late of the Fifty
eighth Canadian infantry, who is a vet
eran of the French front permanently
discharged because of injuries re-
ceived in battle.
Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.
81 think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be, paid to the Red
Cross is the confidence of the wounded
man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be- if once he
gets to the Red Cross man his life is
safe.
II witnessed an incident during the
battle of the Somme which | shall
never forget. A Red Cross officer and
four stretcher bearersfcam to the sup
port trenches for some wounded men.
The officer raised Red Cross flag in
plain view of the Germans and with
his men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.
AS they walked off the Germans DELHI
erately fired on the party and the off
Ger went down. He got up and started
again, but was hit second time and
did not get up.
almost at the same time we heard
salvo of German three-inch shells,
which wounded all the stretcher-bear-
ers and the wounded soldiers received
new wounds. Yet in spite of this, an
other Red Cross party that same day
went out and brought in wounded men.
Need one say anything more? I think
not"
The work of the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In
variably the men and the ambulances
are in range of enemy guns. Devotion
to duty characterizes the Red Cross
workers and the American boys are
stimulated by this assurance.

BEES AID TO FRUIT GROWERS
Insect Has Important Place in Agricui-
ture as Agent for Cross-Fer-
tiIizing Flowers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
While Bookkeeping is usually cOnsid-
cred only as the industry of honey pro-
duction, it is important to remember
that the honey bee has an important
place in American agriculture as an
agent for cross-fertilizing flowers. The
value of the honey bee in this regard
varies in different places and with diff
ferent seasons, but it is conservative
to state that the bee is Of more value
in cross-fertilizing than in honey pro-
duction. Many fruit blossoms re-
quire cross-fertilization before they
will set fruit, and the same thing is
true Of other plants, such as the clio
vers and buckwheat. While many
wild species of insects serve this pur-
pose, the honey bee is the only one
which can be introduced economically
to an orchard or farm, and, therefore,
may serve as an insurance to cross
fertilization If the weather permits
their flight during the blooming period.

FIND SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM
Johns Hopkins University Expert
Makes New Drug From
Coal Tar.

New York.-Discovery of a new
agent as substitute for medicines de-
rived from opium was announced here
by DR.. David I. Macht of Johns Hop
kins university at the annual meeting
of the Society for Experimental Biol
ogy and Medicine.
The substitute is a coal tar deriva-
tive and has been named benzyle ben
zolate. 1t has met with the approval
Of Doctor Brown, head of the intestinal
clinic of Johns Hopkins university,
Doctor Macht said.
The new agent, Doctor Macht eX-
planned relaXes the muscles, giving
the patient the same beneficial effects
as opium derivatives without their Ill
effects.

Valuable Brazilian Fish.

The pirarucu is the largest and ore
OF the most important, commercially,
freshwater fishes of Brazil. When
full grown it measures six to eight
feet and weights from sixty to several
hundred pounds. The scales are
about three inches in circumference
and the head is long and narrow. The
pirarucu is caught by means of the
harpoon, and great skill is shown by
the fishermen, who are trained from
early boyhood. The flesh before salt
ing is very palatable. AS a sailed fish
it is one of the staple food products of
the Amazon region.

LAD TAKES HIS LIFE
Precocious Youth Kills Himself
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to Be His
Lies Sole Desire and
Happiness.

LondOn.-Few cases of suicide IL
recent years have attracted as much
attention as that of Mater Arthur
Easterbrook, precocious son of a re-
tired colonel in the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment.
ing in chemistry, to which he was de-
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed it, there was an
insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
"A letter left by the boy is as follows:
"To whomsoever shall find this:
"Today will be my last day on this
planet. I cannot stand the prospects
of what is coming, so good-by, chemis-
try, my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward / cannot
tell, but I hope that my spirit will
travel to another planet and God will
forgive and let me have another
chance.
"Since New Year I have not touched
anything, and just as I thought that
the whole unhappy business was over
this happens and utterly ruins my life.
And I hope the verdict will not be tenn
porarily insane,' because I am not.
"a last word. l should like my stuff
that does not belong to the school to be
given to F. w. Teare, in my form, "A,
at school. 1t will help him on in the
work that intended to follow.
"Good-by, mamma, the only friend I
had, and I also hope that Leslie Wilson
will remember me. SO, good-by, chem
istry, that I love and adore and die
for.
"P. S.-God save my SOUL"
His father asked the authorities for
permission to preserve the letter, but
the coroner said:
81 think it much better if you do not
have such a tragic document"

WOMEN MAKE FINE RECORD
Red Cross Workers at New Berlin, o.
Almost Double Supply of Arti-
cIes Asked for.

New Berlin, O.-This village, where
the residents are SO patriotic they want
the name changed, has another record
for patriotic service. With about 25O
women available the Red Cross work
room here has an attendance of at least
IS workers every day it is open. The
women go at eight o'clock in the morn
ing, eat dinner there, and do not leave
until 10 p. m. They have turned out
80 bathrobes, where the government
asked for only so, and they did the
work in two weeks, although they were
allowed one month. :.

iron rail brOadSide' across the field.
The stalks then can be cut with disk
harrow much better than If left stand
ing. If the disks of the disk harrow
are sharp, they will cut the stalks into
short pieces, which soon decay. 1t Is
never advisable to rake and burn
stalks and other trash on cornfelds
that are to be sown to oats unless the
quantity is so great that it can not
possibly be covered by disking. This
humus-making material should not be
destroyed but should be worked into
the soil.
Oats always should be sown as early
in the spring as the land can be work
ed, but the proper preparation should
not be sacrificed to gain little time
in getting the seed into the ground
Oats do best when sown in rather
firm seed bed, with two to three inches
of loose, mellow soil on the surface.
This can be obtained best on corn
stalk land by breaking the stalks,
double disking either by tapping half
or cross disking, and thorough harrow
ing with @spike-tooth harrow. Lap
ping half with a disk harrow leaves
the surface more nearly even than when
the field is disked. The disks should
be set to run three or four inches deep.
After the seed bed is in good condition
the seed should be sown and the field
again narrowed.
The land seldom is plowed for oats
that follow a cultivated crop. Spring
blowing usually is not profitable, as
there is little time to allow the SUBJ
surface to become compact and the
land is rarely in proper condition to
plow before the oats should be sown.

THEY'RE CHANGING Shoes Again.

While there is talk of using shark
skin for shoe leather, the manufactur-
ers who have to turn out shoes with
the material already at hand are re-
sorting to ingenious economies. Shoes
aren't going to look the same, accord
ing to a writer in the Boston Post, in
touch with the big shoe manufacturing
districts in Massachusetts.
Tongues will be left off pumps to
save leather, heels will be low to save
fiber board, with a small base to save
leather, sock Innings will be abbreviat-
ed, Innings will be skeletonized and
vamps may be cut off. 1t is said that
some of the economies proposed amaze
even the fellows who have reputation
of "skinning shoes" during times other
than in war.

ngton.-Every American sol

an American Red Cross comfort kit
packed by an American woman, Maj.
James Fl. Perkins, Red Cross commits

cablegram to Red Cross headquarters
here. The kits, which contain towel,
shirt, writing paper, pencil, soap,

wants more of them, particularly ones

Whale Strains His Food.

All whales develop rudimentary
teeth before birth. If the teeth con-
tinue to grow, the whale is put in the
toothed class; if the teeth are dis
placed by a large number of flattened
plates of bone or baleen, fringed at
the edges, the whale is put in the
whalebone class. Baleen forms a

AT THE
THEATERS
= NAZIMOVA TONIGHT.

The great Nazimova star Of Metros
great special production de luxe,
Revelation" at the Rex tonight and
tomorrow has captured the admira-
ton of two continents. In "Revala-
ton" as the little Latin Quarter gri-
Zette, she does the greatest work she
has ever done on the stage or screen.
This super production is in seven
reels and in addition there will be
shown two reel comedy, making a
program of entertainment for all.
The production has been written in
such way as to give the celebrated
Russian full sway to her superb emo
tional ability and the 'broadest scope
to her newly discovered powers.
Revelation" is a mighty drama
Of the screen, based on a powerful
story, that reaches the heights of
sublimity, and descends to the pro-
foundest depths of the human heart
Revelation provides Nazimova
with role that demands the full
sweep of her abilities. AS the Pari-
sian grizette, whose soul is laid bare
in this gripping story, Nazimova is
gay and fascinating, capricious and
wilful as a summer storm, cold and
calm one minute, tender and pure
with the serenity of an Attic sun
shine, the next. She is selfish, mad,
passionate,-she is noble, and self
sacrificing. She is first the madcap
grizette of the Latin Quarter; then
she is the Madonna of the Rosebush
and Of the battlefields. From grizette
into saint she is changed by the sun
Of revelation. The gay, mad music
of the Paris dance halls merges into
the crash and roar Of battle, and af-
ter all comes the still, small voice by
which Joline's grizette soul is saved.
Nine, Nazimova plays Joline, the
adorable grizette by whom a miracle
is unconsciously wrought. The mir
acle then blossoms in her own heart.

MEETS POLICEMEN EVERY
WHERE.

George MacFarland never knew
there were so many policemen until
he made bet that he could commit
a crime and elude them for a year.
When the bet was made, MacFar-
land forged fake check, and left
New York. After that it seemed that
he couldn't look in any direction
without seeing an approaching po-
liceman. This is the opening of "Be-
lieve Be, Xantippe," the latest Para
mount picture starring Wallace Reid,
with Ann Little, and which will be
shown, at the Grand theatre tonight
It is an enthralling story and ro-
nance, mystery and thrills are min
gled skillfully in it's development.
