THE GOOD SAMARITAN.

There Is = story something Like tn .
thousand years old, yet it has the ring
ihat takes the staleness out of a stoao
and preserve it's power TO appeal T.
the human heart regardless Of -
A young lawyer asked the Master hon
he might De saved and the Master
shot the question back al him by stat
ing that he was lawyer and asked IL
he did not know the law. His reply
was a summary that Thou shalt love
the Lo-d thy God with al thy heart,
and with ali thy soul, and with all thy
strength, and with all thy mind; and
thy neighbor as thyself. Jesus told
hlm that he had answered correctly.
Truly this summarizes Christianity.
The lawyer was unsa.isfied and
asked Who Is my neighbor-! jesus
did not give direct answer but he
told him u parable. de sand that a
traveller was going from Jerusalem
TO jericho and he feel among thieves
that stripped Of his -aimenf, wounded
him and left him half dead A prsesi
iourneyed that way and saw tie
wounded man and passed by On the
other side. A Levits did the same
thing but a Samaritan came ArnbIing
down the road On his donkey and when
he saw the wounded traveller he dis
mounted; pulled out the oil fram MS
pack, .4anOInted the wounds. iied them
up and set the fellow "a his own
beast and earned hun TO the nearest
nm he made guess ~ the hotel
bill paid il and told the proprietor that
# there was balance due that he
would settle the account.
The Good Samaritan was the first
Red Cross worker and combined all
the principles for which this great
organization stands today. VIII you
today number yourselves among the
priests and Leyites or do you want to
spend a dollar and be numbered with
the good Samsritans Of America who
viii not pass up human suffering.
Men who want TO bind up wounds, pay
the hoted bills of the homeless and
suffering, and who wish to tie the
world together in universal brother
hood.
The worlds heart aches with the
thought Of injustice. Red Cross hos
pitfalls have been bombed, Red Cross
ambulances have been fired upon and
stretcher bearers have been shot upon
the battle field. The civilized world
has been thrilled with the barbarity
OF the Hun, yet this organization Of
Mercy would pou- oil into the wound
Of the Hun, carry him to the nearby
inn if he were forsaken on the battle
field, pay his hotel bill and extend aid
TO his helpless women and children.
Certainly here is a great organization
that is fulfilling the fine spirit of the
sermon on the Mount. AS liver of
humanity you cannot afford not to
wear the Red Cross button or carry
its emblem In your home window.
The drive comes at the busiest
season of the year when many bust
ness men cannot give their time to
the work and the women are busy
with the cares of home yet it comes
when the hearts of men and women
are most easily reached. AS a
Christian nation our hearts are turn
ed toward the cross where the Man Of
Galilee suffered that we might be free
Every magazine cover is filled with
the thought Of Christmas, memories
go back to childhood and the hearts
and minds are turned to the little
'ildren that have their souls atune
love and hope. For every child

HEAVY PENALTIES IMPOSED ON
PROFITEERS IN FOODSTUFFS

Profiteers in foodstuffs are to feel the
heavy hand Of the United States Food
Administration. The period OF nominal
penalties has passed and in the future
offending firms and individuals will
be dealt with with all the severity the
laws allows.
This was made evident yesterday
when the food administration ordered
closed February IS the businesses of
B. Baff & Son. Fannie Baff. Harry Baff
and Fannie Bafr and Baff & Son, poultry
and egg dealers of New York, for al
legged profiteering and speculation in
eggs. Action was taken on recon-
mendation of the food administrator at
New York.
"The four concerns comprised a little
the price of eggs and add few extra
sources Of profit between receipt and
their final disposition" said the food
administrations announcement. "At the
hearing it was shown that one of the
agencies, acting at the time as a pur-
chasing company. had bought eggs for
371a cents dozen. 1t in turn had sold
to one of the others for 4SH cents.
When the eggs finally left the Baff
circle they brought Sly cents Similar
practices were shown to have been car
ried on by all of the four affiliated
trading agencies
None of the Baff concerns will be
allowed to do business so long as the
! food control act remains in effect"
Allowing potatoes to spoil got two
! other food dealers into trouble. The

make employees of the Department of
Agriculture work eight hours day
instead of seven. is to address meet
ing of government employees at the
Arcade, 14th street and Park road, at S
O'Clock Friday night.
Although the meeting is to be under
the auspices of the Treasury Depart
ment branch of the Federal Employees
Union of Washington, it is expected
that the hall viii be crowded with
orkers from all the departments who
have been aroused by Mr.. Borland

Borland's subject will be, but members
of the union expect he Will attempt to
explain to them why he advocates the
eight-hour legislation. Burd w. Payne.
president of the Treasury branch of the
union. will preside and there will be a
musical program.
John S. Beach, president of the full
Washington union, announced today
that a big mass meeting to protest
against the BorIand eight-hour amend
ment will be held in Typographical
Temple the evening of February 81,
with Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, as the
principal speaker. Several senators
and representatives also will be invited
to speak
Members of both the local union and
the National Federation of Federal
Employees expressed belief today that
the activity of Mr.. Gompers in oppo-
sition to the amendment probably will
do much TO defeat it when II cones m
in the Senate. The amendment has
passed the House.

tricts, including care of five thousand
families and sufficient reconstruction
to make houses habitable, required
over two millions.
Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scale-a
world OF it. The item for relief Of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thfrty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
ceives and distributes more than two
hundred tons Of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and it's other
work it requires big transportation
service of motors and trucks. This
transportation service has cost mil
lion and half, and its operating ex-
penses run to million dollars.
Every dollar it spends means misery
alleviated. Its work is building abroad
for the United States the best good will
in this world. 1t is building the best
good will among ourselves. Whatever
else the war may produce, we shall be
proud Of our Red Cross.
