DOUGLAS -TREADWELL CHAPTER
 OF AMERICAN RED CROSS


rect the activities of the organiza- ton ns whole.
 What the American Red Cross needs now is not 80 much contribu- tlons Of money as the continued de- votion and loyalty Of its members. This is peculiarly true at this mo mcnt Of transition from war Co peace. Annual membership in- wolves the payment of only one dol lar. The moneys thus received not only dcfray all the administration expense of the organization, but leave @ substantial balance, which, together with all funds subscribed directly for relief, arc devoted solely to that purpose. The roll call of the nation is thus Co be called at Christ mas time that through enrolment in their Red Cross the American people may send a message Co our soldiers still overscas and Co the peoples of the world that we are not merely content with seeing our arms united with our allies in vic tory. but that our abiding purpose is that the love, the sympathy and the intelligence of an Americans shall be rededicatcd to the permanent service Of mankind.

= the healthy young animal he was,
made rapid convalescence. Two weeks
after he was stabbed he. left the hospital
and went home, with his wound almost
healed. Ten days after that he walked
into Real Republican headquarters and
took charge of his own campaign. The
wheels of the organization which ho had
built so painstakingly had already been
set in motion. bst with the presence Of
Jerry at the helm there was an i'm

man how necessary speeding up was
His was so far only skeleton army:
yet in that first gloating week 1t had
grown fabby with overconfidence. The
sudden burst of enthusiasm with which
the newspapers and the city had greeted
the emergence of the Real Republican
organization and the candidates which 1t
had selected had lulled his followers into
no such dreams. Instead the possibility
of defeat loomed before him like dis
NAL specter. NJ
We've got to put something besides
emotion and spectacular hurrah into
this campaign he told his executive
COMMITTEES. The people are interested.
way to do that is to make it clear to
them that this is their fight. We are
only their servants. They've got TO
know what we are doing here every

They've got to understand that if the
verdict is against us at the end, II isn't
Robinson and Archer and you gentle-
men who are beaten, but it's the people"
With this thought In This mind he in-
vented the slogan of the campaign
TELL THE PEOPLE" He sent his
speakers out to tell the people everything
about conditions in the city of Philadei-
phia. to inform them of what ttey did
not know and to remind them of what
they had forgotten. He applied this
principle TO the conduct of the campaign
itself. Reporters were given the run Of
headquarters.
Turn on the spotlight" laughed Jer-
ry. Let 'em see what We're doing and
how we're trying to do it,"
His own desk was in the center of a
big room. Everybody who wanted to see

used to tell the reporters every Monday

ssome-but the effect on the people at

ssT SAW Mr.. Arnold in the car this
L morning" said Ethel HHl to her
sister, Ruth.
"Is that so? Did he look at your" ques-
toned the sister.
why, yes he looked across the aisle
in the car and seemed to smile, and IL
my eyesight is not deceiving me. he ac-
tually smiled to me- said Ethel.
This Mr.. Arnold was a perfect stran-
ger to the girls who had been new ar
rivals in the little town of Auburn
The girls had seen him occasionally on
the cars and took special notice of
him because he resembled a gentleman
of their acquaintance whose name was
Mr.. Arnold. and from this fact the girls
always spoke of this stranger as Mr.
Arnold. only because he was tall
blond who wore glasses like the original
whom they were acquainted with.

ing his acquaintance" said Ethel I'm
sure he must be a respectable gentle
man and worth knowing"

Time passed for the Hills. They had
been living in Auburn for year now,
still meeting the strange Mr.. Arnold,
and still lacking a much desired intro
duction. They made friends very reatli
ly with the girls in the neighborhood,
but never chanced upon any one who
was acquainted with Mr.. Arnold.
Finally there came day when Ethel
and Ruth were invited to a community
picnic to he held in the woods sur
rounding their town. They anticipated
"A great deal of pleasure and the meet
ing of many people of their town.
Dressed in their freshly starched sum

woods where some of the other girls
were to await them.

II was that Of IA pretty. blooming young
woman with sparkling dark eyes and
glossy black hair.

the girls "she's Jolly good company.

Ethel and Ruth were delighted with

she was a very close neighbor to them.

very pleasing to them.

Just as she finished her statement.

trance of the woods where she spied the
figure of their Mr. Arnold approaching.

sister Ethel push. see who's coming ."
Why, there's Dick, now" said Mrs.
Atherton. turning toward the same d-
rection as the Hill girls We're looking.

acknowledged the introduction to Mr..

Peggy, who was decidedly miffed at
Judge Owl for threatening to have her

"Of course she does" answered
Peggy. But she is the one who is
complaining against Blue Jay and she
