Railroad Employees Ready
to Aid United War Drive

Railroad officials are notified that
/. company employees on all the west
efn lines are ready to start the
United War drive Monday morning

raised. 1t is the understanding
among employees that each man and
woman is to donate two days pay to
the united war fund. While this is
the minimum it is said that large
number of the employees will give
much more than this. So far as the
railroads are concerned, it is ex-
pected that the drive will be finished
by Tuesday night and that the re-
turns will be tabulated by the end
Of the week.

Arrest Man Celebrating
Fake ArmiStiCe Signing

C. H. Turner, 6O02 Redmond ave-
nue., heard peace had been made. and
as he had boy in the marines in
France, decided to celebrate. He
marched in all the parades he could
find, then, according to his own
story, drank all the booze he could
find.
"And here l am at the police sta
ton" he concluded ruefully, and
there wasn't any peace after all!'
When asked what he thought OF
the cev paper publishing the fake
report he looked about, then whls-
pered hercely:
I'm afraid to tell you here at the
station. They might charge me
with profanity. But just wait till
get outside"
Turner was dismissed.

RED CROSS REPORTS
ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR
MONEY ENTRUSTED TO 1T.
To Date s7e, $50 ,727.35 Has Been Ap-
propriated for Relief Work
Criticisms Answered.

WasningtOn.-Wha the American
Red Cross has done with the vast sums
Of money entrusted 10 it by the people
Of the United States is stated in de-
tail in a report just issued by the ma
tional headquarters. To date, 3d.
$50, 727-3j has been appropriated for
relief work ia this country and
abroad
For foreign relief s44, 657, T95 has
been appropriated as follows: France,
S30,519, $500; Belgium, 81 800, 631 /;
Russia. $751 .94OS7 Rou'uania, S2.617,-
1856; Italy, s3.146O16; Serbia. SSH
1906; Great Britain, 81 ,7O3. G42 other
foreign countries, S2,636.3OO: Ameri-
can soldiers who may be taken pris-
oner, S343. 627.
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States en-
tered the war until April 80. 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated S2.6I2. j32. 80 and the rea-
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly every
thing our army and navy needs, and
besides, there is no civilian distress in
this country Of any considerable pro-
portions.
The great variety Of the military and
civilian relief work being done by the
Red Cross is indicated briefly in the
following list: Canteens that afford
food, baths and sleeping quarters for
men at the front: rest stations and
recreation centers for soldiers in tran
sit and at port of arrival in France;
care of destitute children: furnishing
supplies to 1000 hospitals; teaching
mutilated soldiers new trades recon-
structiOn of villages: bringing together
families of soldiers scattered by the
war; farms for convalesceDt soldiers;
sanisariums for tubercular and other
patients; food, clothing, medicine, and
shelter for the homeless and destitute;
and other activities too numerous TO
mention.
1t is stated by the national war cOun-
Gil that all salaries and administrative
expenses are paid out OF membership
dues, so that every penny given to the
Red Cross war fund has been spent
for relief. This answers the rumOrs
that have been circulated about the
expenses of operation.
Out of 2J3 executives in the fourteen
divisional offices OF the Red Cross in
the United States. 80 per cent are
women. The policy is TO select the
most competent person regardless Of
politics. sex or religion.

CUPID STILL RULES
Cynics Who Decry Power of St.
Valentine Are Unable to
Prove Their Case.

CYN1C once remarked that the
~ two most irritating days or
~ the calendar were those con
secrated to Saints Swithin
and Valentine, because, said he. the
first often brought with 1t stretch of
rain and the second a wretch of a
strain; for, of all strains in the world,
he argued, the worst was that imposed
by having TO read a silly lot of foot
less and useless valentines.
The cynic probably does not stand
J alone in his opinion of Saint Valen-
! tines day. There are thousands of
men like him who believe that the day
has degenerated; that, where once Gu
! pid conquered hearts through loving
missives sent on February II, he now
merely yawns and fails TO heed.
But does he? Have the old valea-
| tines, as love messages, really lost
their power? Or have new kinds of
valentines succeeded the fiimsy lace
kind Of other years? And are they at
all effective?
The printed chronicles of the last
several years reveal numerous cases
that go TO disprove the statement Of
the cynic and his followers.
On Saint Valentines day, 1908, Ar
thur Trumbull of Oswego, n. Y, sent
a young woman named Alice Cayvan,
whom he had been counting with in
different success for several years,
large heart fashioned out of crimson
cardboard. Through the heart he had
stuck a papier mache arrow. On il
he had written the single interrogatory
word -HopelesST The next day the
heart was returned to him by mail:
but the arrow had been removed and
the hole in the center had been patched |
up with bit of white paper on which /
Miss Cayvan had written a clearly |
legible yes" They were married soon /
after.
Not less productive of result was the
effort of Albert Hildrummel of Topeka.
KAN, who, according to an article
printed in Western newspapers, sent
the young woman he loved, Clara
Sedgwick, blank marriage certificate
ON last Valentines day with these
verses on the back:
This is my idea OF valentine,
Practical. indeed, but true.
II you'll write your name in IL.
1t will be valentine for two.
Ii is interesting to note that the re-
cipient did as directed.
An odd valentine was that sent two
years ago by Francis Everlin of Chi
cage TO Sarah Collins of Toledo. o.
Everlin had asked the latter TO marry
him on numerous occasions; but the
yonng woman had always asked him to
ssrain from regarding her otherwise
han "a sister, Everlin had no such
intention, however. and, hiding his
lime till Valentines day, sent her a
'alentine made up to resemble a bal
OF such as is used in municipal cleo
iuns. AT the top Of the ballot was .

pen aed Ink picture of a house, a,-;d
beneath appeared Everlin's name op-
posite all the offices to be voted for,
viz, rentpayer, bundle carrier, loving
husband, and so on. A slip was APP
pended asking the voter to vote the
straight ticket. Whether it was the
humor OF Il or something else is IN
known; but the fact remains that Miss
Collins put the matrimonial Y under
the house.
The "missing-line" puzzle craze
gave Herbert Randall o. San Fran
cisco his valentine cue N 1907. To
his sweetheart, Vera Salison Of the
same city, he sent this incomplete
stanza, asking her to fill out the last
line. The verse ran:
ct might have been" are sa6dest words
In world of woe and love and strife:
For thee, these are the gladdest words:
The stanza was returned the follow
ing day with this line: Yes, dear, /
now will be your wife"
One of the most peculiar valentines
on record was the one sent year ago
by Allen Straw OF Pittsburgh to Louise
Rovayer of Erie 1t was nothing more
or less than a large roll of white silk,
bearing the words: This is for a
wedding dress. Please valentine me
with a yes" The siiken valentine
was effective
On Valentines day three years age
two men sent their sweethearts rail
road timetables to Niagara Falls, and
another man sent his lady love trunk
tied with white ribbons and strevn
inside with rice
John Thomas Ray of Omaha won a
wife through a valentine sent TO
young woman living in St Louis.
Rays valentine tcok the form of 8
big red apple, TO the stem of which he
had attached a card reading: Love /
me and world of happiness shall be |
yours. Love me not, and all that you |
will have will be this apple 1t is big /
and red and pretty. but it will not /
asst any more than will the semihappi- |
ness you believe you are enjoying
while single"
The popular jigsaw puzzles were
lsed as valentines by several wooers
asst year. One man, named Shaw, of
Atlanta. sent one TO his sweetheart
u the same city and with it the lines:
I've puzzled my brain TO guess your
nswer. Won't you put me in shape
gain with a 'Yes'?" The girl sent the
puzzle back with note that
cad: Il do not want this puzzle. I'll
i've you myself. have been puz-
lie, 1 admit; but I'm going to solve
lyself for you"
Another man. Stanley Lemoyne Of

alentine to Rhea Knowles of the
lme town, with the note: This viii
