RED CROSS AID GOVERNMENT

why doesn't the Government do
it?" is a question you sometimes hear
concerning the work of the American
Red Cross.
The answer is: Because the Red
Cross can do it much better than the
Government could"
1t can do it more cheaply. A large
part of the personal services for the
Red Cross are performed by unpaid
volunteers. Chairman Dawson re-
Gently declared that ten million peo-
pie were working for. the Red Cross
without pay.
The Red Cross is a much more flex-
ible agency than the Government can
be. 1t had no real organization in
Italy when the Italian armies were
suddenly dislodged and driven back
to the Piave last fall. Some thous-
ands of families in the evacuated ter
ritory fled from their homes. A hur-
ried summons brought the European
chief of the American Red Cross to
the scene with aids. Immediately
the Red Cross was picking UP chill
dren who had been separated from
their mothers, getting helpless fam
lilies under shelter, providing food.
Three million dollars was spent to
meet that unforeseen need
The Red Cross can work in a way
that would be fairly impossible for a
government. For example, every
eminent will gladly assist the Red
Gross to find and help mutilated
French soldier or a destitute French
family. The French Government
might have some quims about accept
ing charity from the American Gov
eminent. No question Of national
pride or of policies comes up when
the Red Gross is concerned. Every
where it is received without reServa-
ton as a friend.
The American public subscribed a
hundred million dollars to the Red
Cross last summer. Our Government
might easily have appropriated that
sum for the work. 1t would have
been lost in the mass of war appro-
priations and meant nothing in par
ticular to anybody. 1t would have
been merely so much impersonal,
cold-storage money. AS one-half of
one per cent. of the Governments
total war appropriations it would
have looked meager and lifeleSs.
Freely subscribed by the people the
money is warm with human sympa-
thy France, Italy, Poland see it
not as bookkeeping entry made by
a machine called the Government of
the United States, but as the gener-
osity of fellow creatures. 1t palpa-
bly, means that to us also. The Red
Cross can do it much better than the
Government could.

NEW DENTAL CAR FOR ARMY
WONDERFULLY EQUIPPED

The government has recently been
presented with dental truck which
is remarkable for its completeness
and the ingenuity of it's design. 1t is
illustrated in an article in the June
Popular Mechanics Magazine. At
tached to either side of the body and
mounted on frames that fold up, jack
knife-fashion, are tents that can be
opened quickly when the car is at
rest. These are used as living quar-
tiers for the men in charge and for
quarters for the men in charge and
for professional work. One is equip
ped with portable dental chair and
an oil heater.
The body of the car is equipped
with regulation dental chair, a gas
administering outfit, spacious cabi-
nets for instruments, washbasin,
30-gallon water tank, rotary pump,
etc. Acetylene gas is supplied from
compressed tanks for lights, heater,
and a brazing torch. Storage bat
teries supply current for auxiliary
lights, a dental lathe, and an electric
engine.

DEVIL DOGS" NAME GIVEN TO
u. S. MARINES BY HUNS.

United States Marines in France
are rapidly acquiring new soubri-
duets. The Germans, terrorized by
their maniacal fighting, have dub
bed these Americans Devil Dogs
But the French who have come in
contact with the Marines refer to
them as 1.-The millionaire soldiers"
due to the fact that Marines are
constantly dividing their pay with
the French women and children who
need help. In many instances marines
have been known to give up their
entire months pay to purchase food
for destitute French women.

STRENUOUS TIME AHEAD FOR
STEEL MEN.

Gradually the line is being drawn
against non-essential industries and
the latest move of J. Leonard Rep
logic, director of steel supply, means
the temporary extinction of a good
many.
At a recent meeting in New York
between Replogle and SO leading
steel manufacturers of the country,
the latter were told the time had
come when the government must be
furnished practically with 100 per
cent of the steel output, and all 9TH
ers must wait and take the crumbs
if there are any.
Every manufacturer signed a
pledge to produce at maximum ca
pacity and to hand over the whole
output to the steel director as fast
as demanded. From now on not one
ounce of steel will go for any but
war purposes.
This means no new structural steel
buildings or bridges will go up, I'M
less needed for military purposes and
autombile manufacturers will be en-
abled to turn out very few cars for
private use. :,
Manufacturers of pots, pans and
household hardware will approach
zero. s
Every old kitchen stove, automo-
bile, tub or sewing machine which
has a single kick left in it must be
kept going with repairs, not scrap
ped. - =
Even farm implements will be
scarcer, although they are classifled
as "war needs.

The German planes were thick in
the air; they were in groups of from
three to 20. They would look us
over and then we would get a

like an arrow, and hit in the field

Martin Delaney Has a New
STYLE of Jave|in to Submit

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Revisior of the
present style of construction of the
standard javelin, used in all champ
ion games, will be proposed at the
annual meeting of the National A.
A. U. at Philadelphia on November
10 by Martin A. Delaney, physical
director of the Chicago Athletic
association, an authority on the sub
ject. ?
The steel nose on the javelin as
now constructed is easily broken,
and Mr.. Delaney will submit a
design of his own for adoption. His
plan is to extend the steel covering
few inches up the pole from the
metal tip. This brace, he believes,
will prevent the loss of many jave-
lins, the wood for which is yhore
difficult to obtain as the better GRADE
of wood is in sharp demand for air
plane building.
The present javelin is entirely too
fral and too easily broken" Mr.,
Delaney said, Sometimes as many
as three or four are broken in prac-
tice trials. | am convinced my de-
sign will stop this waste"

Will Not Play eNbraska-
Northwestern Game Here

Lincoln, Neb,, Oct. 26.-The pro,
posed transfer of the Nebraska,
Northwestern football game, dated
for November q, from Lincoln tc
Omaha, where it was offered to the
Red Cross authorities, provided that
organization would assume the
$4,000 guarantee to Northwestern
and transportation expenses of the
Nebraska team, has been abandoned
because of the refusal of the Red
Cross to deal with the Northwest
ern management on any financial
basis other than a guarantee OF
travelling expenses.
Following this action of the Red
Cross, Prof. R. D. Scott, director OF
athletics at Nebraska, wrote the
Northwestern authorities suggest
ing that the $4,000 guarantee for a
game in Lincoln be cut at least in
half. According to Prof. Scott, the
game may be cancelled, if the
Evanston school does not agree to
those terms, as the War department
has now practically taken hold of
the game and has put ban on ex-
pensive trips and big financial re-
wards.

WILLPLAY N0v.2
Five Veterans on Coyote
Squad Will Make Creigh-

Dakota Team.

Vermillion, S. D., Oct. 26.-(Spe-
ciaD-The football season at the
University of South Dakota opens
November 2, when the Coyotes play
Creighton University of Omaha. AS
part of the military schedule by
which members of the Students
Army Training corps are being
trained for the service, football
games have been played on the
Coyote campus since October /,
when the S. A. T. c. arrived. The
intercollegiate games scheduled earl
ier in the season were cancelled when
the War department ruled that S.
A. T. c. members would not be ex-
cused from drill for overnight
athletic trips. The University was
forced to abandon its games with
Notre Dame, Minnesota and other
old-time rivals.
Captain Lee Heck, 20, who is
serving his third year on the varsity,
has five veterans on his team. The
other members of the 1917 squad are
in military service. The five are:
Harold Collins, 81, Ward Ellis. 10,
Edwin Livingston, 20, Carl Hey,
'l9, Cyrus Lynch, 81 Fifty men
who signed up for football when
they were indicted have been out
for practice. These men are excused
from special detail duties.
The new coach is John w. Stew
art who has trained championship
teams for Sioux City Iowa) High
school. He takes the place of
Blaine McKusick. new athletic di-
rector at Missouri Military school,
Mexico, Mo. Coach Stewart is a
graduate of Geneva College, and was
on the varsity at the University O.
Pittsburgh. He attended the train
ing camp at Fort Sheridan, Illinois,
this summer and is directing ath-
letics for all the $50 men drilling at
the University. THE fact tina our
football men are the first to be rec
commended for officers training"
said Coach Stewart, indicates the
value of the sport but has reduced
football material to the high school

kota is suffering in the same way"

Boy Who Had Given Up Won
Game in Worlds Series

Zone hot day in August, 1910, l
strolled out on the government
pier. | had no business out there,
but I thought that the lake breeze
weuld relieve me from the heat"
says Tom Farley of Milwaukee.
Il saw an idle boy holding a fish
ing pole and waiting for bite. l
I had seen him elsewhere and l knew
him we'll.
AS president of a base ball
league in Wisconsin l had often
seen the boy in uniform. He i'm
pressed me then as future great.
Although he was only 10 years old
when Il first saw him, something
told me that he was conner
Il was puzzled at not seeing his
name in the box scores that sum-
lner and when | saw him on the
pier | asked:
why are you not playing ball?"
He looked at me and said: L
can't hit; ! can't catch fly ball; |
can't throw straight if l stop &
grounder.'
"A season before that he was
playing shortstop and his work was
marvellous.
Il said to him: This may be
only slump. If you stick to the
game you will get back to form
ITO this he replied: I have been
playing such ball that l quit the
club. l don't want to go near the
ball park and l am so disguised
with myself that | don't want to
see another game of ball. That's
why am fishing

"Omaha Is Dead" Say
Business Men; Opening
OF Club Offers Hope

Marley was dead" we're the
words with which Dickens prefaced
his great story the christmas Car
OIL but Notwithstanding the ap-
parent contradictions between the
opening words and the real theme,
Dickens told wonderful story Of
life.
If Dickens were alive and in Oma-
ha at the present time he would
doubtless say Omaha is dead, dead
as a door nal' for that is all one
hears on every hand. The mer-
chant tries to be optimistic, put on
a smile, but admits that
business is dead" Go into the
hotel and a sort of melancholy
smile is to be seen lowering about
the face of the manager in a vain
effort to conceal a forlorn hope and
he replies business is dead"
The real estate man says "busi-
ness is DEAD, and when the doctor
attempts to cheer you up by saying
that business is lust fine" the/un-
dertaker shuts him off with a flat
denial and says business is Dead"
Last of all the social world is
wondering what is to be done to re-
lieve the monotony of the quiet
hour" The theatres are all closed,
parties are called off, the Ak-sar-ben
ball was omitted this year and the
common wall is mo where to go.
But there is one little ray of hope
in the not distant future, the grand
opening of the Athletic club, = and
the ladies cannot be made to believe
but that the ban on all social
ga herings will be lifted by that
time The work of the mechanics
just about all done and the decora-
tors proceeding as rapidly as they
can to get the building in readiness.
1t is little difficult to say just
when the decorators will complete
their work, but it will not be long.
There are still a few memberships
to be had, but the supply is limited.
If you want one, get it now.
