THE RED CROSS MAN.
BY Jeanne Judson.


4 The Red Cross man was here
4 today,
+ He seems To know some magic
way
OF helng everywhere;
4 In Paris when Il chap is broke.
4 He passes out Yankee smoke.
4 And at the front, he's there.
4 He gives us something hot to
4 drink,
4 He seems 10 want TO make us
4 think
4 We're happy and at ease;
4 He keeps as busy as can he,
4 Just working for my mates and
4 His method sure does please. :
4 And though he doesn't tote a
4 gun,
4 We know he's with us everyone, :
4 Till duty sets US free:
4 His wheeled canteen is far more !
4 fair
4 Than any lobster palace rare.
4 We drink his health In tea. ,

Mayor John r. TenBroeck today

longer needed and thanked the COM
mittee for their efforts and hard
work.
Although the work of the commit

the result.
The mayors letter to Mr.. Ramsay
reads: Understanding that the Red
Cross organization can now take the
work Of the committee which was ap-
pointed following the explosion at

them to do so. viii you please con-

Il voted for Champ Clark for speak
er. That is correct.
Il did not vote for Mr.. Kitchin or
Mr.. Dent. and / did not have the op-
portunity TO vote either for or against
them. The leader of the House and
chairmen OF committees are not elect
ed that way.
"The ranking member of the Ways
and Means Committee becomes chair
man of that committee by seniority
and by virtue of his Craftsmanship be-
comes leader of the House. That is
how Claude Kitchin became leader. I
did not vote for him, and IL Mr.. Car
son Is elected neither will he have the
opportunity to vote for leader of the
House.
The same is true of Mr.. Dent for
whom Mr.. Carson says voted.
V had the opportunity.
TO illustrate further, if I am elect
ed may by seniority become chair
ma OF the River and Harbors Com
m'ttee. 1t will not be
any one to vote for me. That Is one
reason why an older member of the
House may be more useful to HE con-
stituents than a younger one.
II am sorry Mr.. Carson has made
those misstatements, through ignor-
ance. My experiences with Mr.. Car
son as an opponent last year were UNI
fortunate, and / have been hoping that
this year we could stick to the cam
paisn issues and the facts and let the
