How Red Cross is organized

The great secret of Red Cross effectiveness is organization. Millions of people are working together through the medium of an organized machinery which co-ordinates the work of each with the work of all, and transmits the vast quantity of finished products to the people who need them. Thus benevolent emotion is turned into practical aid.
 The organization co-relates and directs the work of the chapters, co-operates with the Army and Navy in relief measures, supports relief work abroad, recruits the personnel for overseas ser- vice and forwards to it's agents in foreign lands the relief supplies produced by the chapter work CTS or purchased in the market
 Red Cross administration in the United States is decentralized. Red Cross is too vast to be completely administered from one spot. It would disintegrate under its own weight
 So the country is partitioned into thirteen Divisions, and there is fourteenth Division for the territorial nsular and foreign chapters, with National Headquarters as the co-ordinating force. In each Division there is manager and his staff, to whom the chapter officials respon- sible, and the chapter workers deal directly with the Chapter Officers. The organization is mili- tary in its well ordered effort, but quite non- military in it's democratic equaties for the chap ter worker is quite as important as the National Headquarters official The Red Cress is organ ized for efficiency, not for display of authority.

Volunteer service

All of the Division Managers and many of those on their staffs, are volunteers. Unpaid service is the general rule in chapters, divisions, and at National Headquarters Most of the depart ment heads in Washington are volunteers.

EertlIlze the language.

Surely there must be something the
matter with the vocabulary OF our
young people when they have to de-
pend so exclusively upon such words
as "Sure!" Dandy" and Wonder
ful!'' to express their principal emo
tons. What is most extraordinary
about all this is that the vocabulary
OF young women does not seem TO be
improved by a college career. One
would think that it would be quite i'm
possible TO study Latin and French
and German, literature and philosophy
for a number of years (even though
studied in the most superficial man
ner) without acquiring enough variety
OF words to carry one through any
common experience. The method Of
studying English in our schools is en-
tirely wrong. There should be classes
in adjectives.--Life.

Rlch Seldom Extravaaant.

Extravagance, oddly enough, is not
a habit of the rich so much as it is
Of the poor.
The Midases and Croesuses in every
neighborhood are pretty careful of the
dimes They have a thrifty habit of
squeezing a dollar till the eagle
screams-and not so much is It
through miserliness as through the
habit of conserving, saving.
With wealth comes the instinct to
save.
Millionaires use the street cars, or
probably walk. People with slender
purses loll about in taxicabs. Only the
very rich and the very poor can af-
ford TO dress badly, is the saying. Who
are the people who dine with such
reckless extravaganza after the thea
ter in the cities? Among them are
there many millionaires?
Not many. They are more likely to
be having crackers and milk at home.

ALONG THE WHARVES
WITH The SKIPPING
Fifty Freight Boats Put In HarbOr
From The Storm Two Boats
Blown Ashore at East

The gale of last night that swooped
down over the city from the northwest
caused some fifty freight boats TO put
into harbor here from the storm.
The boats are all freightcrs and are
loaded with consignments for Balti-
more. They were still here at noon
today, the gale not having subsidized
sufficiently for them to venture out
of the harbor.
Two other boats were blown ashore
at Eastport They are the pungy
sunbeam" Capt Henry Smith, and
the schooner Mabel" They will be
high and dry on shore when the tide
goes out. having been blown ashore at
high tide.
The local agent for the Rochester
Steamboat Company Mr.. Luther Fran
els, has received notice from the Com
pany's headquarters at Baltimore, that
the boat OF that line will make the
trip here on Friday of this week, the
first trip for nearly three months.

PARIS CHAUFFEURS ARE FOXY
Have Developed Ingenious Trick to
Play on Sympathies of Unsuspect-
ING American Women.

Paris taxicab drivers-how many
stories have been and will be written
about them ARE now playing a new
trick on unsuspecting Americans and
even French people, especially women.
There are several popular restaurants
on the Avenue Trudale, which is only
reached from the boulevards by climb
Ing the hill In the Rue des Martyrs. 1t
takes time and gasoline to mount that
grade; that is why many taxis stop af-
ter starting the ascent.
The driver makes frantic efforts to
start-then climbs down, lifts the bon
net of the engine, pokes around, makes
another effort to start, throws up his
hands and exclaims: Its broken
down. 1t won't go a foot further"
His fare, usually a woman, gets out,
often angry and indignant, but the
chauffeur has lost his ability to reply
in kind. he is sad, and shakes his head
mOurnfully. MY whole evenings work
will be wasted by the time this cars
pulled back to the garage. l won't
make any money tonight"
As like as not, the sympathy of his
passenger is aroused, and she gives
him good tip in addition to the fare
indicated by the taximeter-and then
walks up hill. When she is out of
sight the chauffeur lifts the hood
again, twists n valve and the engine
starts with a bang. He hops TO his
seat and rattles back TO the boule-
wards, hoping TO find another easy
mark.
