 Last summer the public subscribed a hundred million dollars to the Red Cross. At the latest statement over eighty-five millions of it had been ap- propriated.
 Where has it gone? you ask For many months the world has been spending over a hundred million dol lars a day for the destruction of life, limb and means of subsistence. Call up what you have read about the wars devastation. The American Red Cross enormous job is to do what ever it can to alleviate that-not after the war, not after governments have deliberated and resolved; but right now, at the minute, on the spot. It's amazing that it has done so much with so little money.
 Last autumn the Italian army fell back precipitately. On your war map that meant rubbing out one line and drawing another half an inch further south. Over there in. Italy it meant thousands of poor families fleeing from their homes. Major Murphy, Red Cross Commissioner in Europe, rushed to the scene and wired: Tn describably pathetic conditions exist, involving separation of mothers and children, cold, hunger, disease, death. In November and December the American Red Cross appropriated three million dollars for relief there "a large sum, yet small in compari- son with the need

 Soldiers are only a part of the Red Cross work-probably the smaller part. Every instant, somewhere in the vast flood of destruction, a hand reaches up in appeal. It is pretty apt to be a child's hand or a womans S When the Red Cross commission reached Petrograd it asked the gov ernment, What is the most urgent

Clearing the misapprehensions as to the nature and the scope of the Junior Rcd Cross work, Mrs. Edward Shaw, who is chairman of the department, in an interview pointed out a few facts not generally known. Mrs. Shaw con- tends that the activities of the juniors should be continued during the sum mer months.
 With the close of the school year, 4- is not at all likely that Junior Red Cross work will cease any more than any other branch of the Red Cross activities although from the very nature of things organization will not be carried on or increased until the beginning of another fiscal school year.
 'In the first place, the school cours- cs of study are planned and outlined by a board of educators, and do not vary m essential details and have been the work of years of progressive thought and planning. The courses of study are not as yet ideal, in so far as they do not meet the requirements of in- dividual children, phases of educational work that may be more easily over come in private schools than in the public school system although the average private school lacks the equip ment that is possible in the schools run by state funds. Nevertheless, the condition is one of fact and not fancy or what, in this especial period during the time of war. we would like it to be. And it is to meet this especial condition that the different chairmen hope to do by taking this matter up with the state board Of education dur ing the summer and for tCe e1DgsSs purpose of which Mrs. Harry A. kleu- gel. Pacific Coast divisional director of Che Junior Red Cross. expects tO make a trip into Arizona again in the near future.

"All who have had 10 do with the Junior Red Cross in an executive or advisory capacity are fully cognizant of the difficulties in the way and to be overcome in planning the school cur riculum so as to include Junior Red Cross work without in any manner eX- plotting, child labor or interfering with the educational value of any work that might come under the supervision of Inc manual training or domestic sci c.sra directors. Some contend that no work should be done after it has lost it's educational value by oyer-repetition while others look upon the service which school children may render as supremely education in that it incul- cates ideas of patriotism, loyalty and service. It would seem that a very splendid plan might be evolved where by all of the phases of this subject may be happily resolved without any detri- ment to the schools or the pupils and of very great advantage in developinc the finer and higher attributes of the pupils There never has been a time in history when the child could be taught a higher thiug than patriotism and love for his cOuntry's flag. Now he can be taught al of that and that which is far greater and which is even now seen to be evolving from this terrible time of war, and that is that all should be as one people, stand ing together for what is highest and rest for everyone the whole world over

Thomas Brooks Fletcher, lecturer, publisher and thinker, was the guest of the oc- casion, and from him came an earnest appeal for cooperation not only in business but in all other affairs of daily life.
 Only through organization and CO., operation, the speaker declared, can success attend the efforts of any num- Der of mon or women. In these trying times, co-oper0tlon is more than ever necessary. First impressions are usu- ally lasting ones, he said. He said the depot in any town attracts first atten- tion and tends Co give an impression .ot thc town moro than any other in tlucncc. This reference to the local depot. for it was taken as such, brought Fipplcs of laughter.
 lt was such talk as could not fail % appeal Co tho average business man. and tho Rotarians, knowing something ot what was Co be expected of MT. Fletcher. included the directors of the two commercial bodies in the list of guests of the day.

MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Leipzig Tavern in Which Poet Located
Scene in Faust" Was Well
Known Gathering Place.

Auerbach's cellar was a tavern at
Leipzig which disappeared in 1872 IT
owed its chief fame to Goethe, who in
this place located the scene in Faust
wherein AIephistOpheles, standing up
on a wine cask, takes his flight into
space with Doctor Faust, 10 the stupe-
faction OF the guests drinking ut the
tables The old building 10 which the
cellar belonged was built by Doctor
Sromer d'Auerbaeh at about 1929, the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
Intended for his own use Later, as
the wine was good, he conceived the
idea OF selling it. In this way was es-
tablished the tavern TO which his
name has been attached ever since.
From the earliest years of the seven
teenth century legend has placed in
this cellar the famous adventure OF
Faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe,
studying at Leipzig university from
1865 to 176S, frequented that cellar al
most nightly and there talked with
his friends Of art, literature and pol
itics, and thus he heard Of that le-
gend which he turned to such excellent
account, at the same time so very
greatly enriching the literature OF his
country.
