MANY RESPOND TO
IBELGIUM RELIEF
RED Cross WORK

The Pensacola public and the towns
adjacent are responding literally to
the relief work for the population of
Belgium and northern France.
Mrs. Stephen Lee is in charge of the
work for this district and said yes
ter day that she considers the results
sc far achieved most encouraging and
feels confident that Pensacoias quota
OF 6.Si6 pounds will be raised.
Mrs. Lee wishes it understood that
while the committee is most grateful
fer new clothing or material, or for
garments that are in good condition,
other. clothing can be made over for
children.
An erroneous impression seems to
exist with some persons that the
clothes must be made over before be-
ing sent to the Red Cross committee.
This is not true. The main thing now
is to get the requisite amount Of
good warm clothing. Women in the
III led regions of Belgium and
France will be paid by the Red Cross
to make over garments that cannot be
put in readiness mere.

Hyer Tells of Suffering.
w. X. Hyer, chairman OF the Mill

can Red Cross. in speaking of the re-
lief fund yesterday afternoon said
People in this country can hardly
realize what those of the occupied re-
gions in the war zone are suffering.
There is no clothing and no money to
buy II there We're. Many feel that old
clothes are not worth giving, but to
these people there is nothing that
could be sent that will bring greater
comfort than warm winter garments
to protect them from the rigors of the
winter season. Here we can get money
to buy something IL not the best. But
there they have nothing-neither
money nor material to protect them
from the bitterness of the winter
months"

DIES; 90 YEARS OLD.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 26.-Arch-
bishop John Ireland, Of the st. Paul
diocese of the Roman Catholic church,
died at 1855 o'clock today after long
Hines of heart disease and stomach
trouble. He was 80 years old.
Archbishop Ireland recently cele-
brated his sOth birthday. Shortly af-
forwards he suffered second relapse
within six months and his condition
became grave.
The archbishop was in failing
health for year. Last winter he
went to Florida. When he returned
early in the spring he suffered a
breakdown and for several days was
at the point of death. After his
physicians had practically abandoned
hope for his recovery, he improved
rapidly and almost Immediately he
was able to leave his bed he cele-
brated solemn high mass at the
cathedral.
Until last fall Archbishop Ireland
took a prominent part in patriotic ac-
tivities and his physicians at that
time attributed his breakdown to over
work.

The Oldest Livinu Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe is the shellfsh, known as the
lingula, a specimen of which was tax
en- from Manila bay several years
ago. The genus, according to sci
entists, has remained practically unal-
tered for more than a hundred million
years. With the extraordinary changes
of climate and environment since the
world began most forms of life with
which science is familiar have been
transformed or have altogether disap-
ptAred since the geologic ages. THAT
the genus lingula," says the Journal Of
Heredity, should have survived for all
these ages, and undergone virtually no
change, is striking evidence of the fact
that the germ plasm. which under some
conditions, as in the case of the horse
and the dag, is capable of %extraordi-
nary variation, is under other condi-
lions remarkably constant"
