Business Questions Answered

We often read that statesmen have to pos.
sess personality, Just what do people mean
by personality?
Personality is the outward expression
of our positive traits of character. II
We have such positive traits as cheer
fulness, truthfulness, courtesy, good ma
ture, the expression of these traits will
give us a pleasing personality. II, how
ever, we possess the negative traits of
pesslmism, distrust, laziness and apathy,
we will have disagreeable, irritable per-
sonalities. Incidentally, you can make
your own personality what you will by
developing in yourself those traits the
sum and substance of which make up
the personality you desire.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
OF GAS DEFENSE is
FATAL TO SOLDIERS.

The necessity for thorough and
continuous training of troops in gas
defenss is shown by a statement
proved by captured German docu-
ments.
The Germans at certain position
on the western front knew the Brit
ish were planning to deliver a gas
attack on German division equipped
witk masks, but poorly trained in
their use. In spite of the fact that
they had several days to drill before
conditions were suitable for the Brit
ish attack, when it was finally made
hundreds of German casualties re-
suited.
Many kinds of gases are used in
modern warfare. Some merely af-
feet the eyes temporarily, and are
more inconvenient than serious,
Other gases are terrible in their eff
feet unless proper protection is "a
vailable. They are employed in clouds
or in shells, bombs, and hand gren-
ades.
1t is the work of the Field Training
Section of the Gas Defense Service
to bring home to the American sol
der the Importance of his gas mask,
to thoroughly drill him in its use and
to inspire confidence in its efficacy.

OFFICIAL RED CROSS
NOTES AND ACTIVITIES
GEN. PERSHINC'S SALUTATION
LAFAYETTE, WE ARE HERE"

None can 60 abroad to-day with
out having scared deep in his brain
the fact that nothing in the world
really counts except the winning of
this war,
We in America are so far removed
from it that it is hard for us to ap-
preciate what it really means to our
Allies-and what it must mean to
us.
Our Allies are not looking to us
merely to mobilize our Army and
Navy. They are locking to us to do
whath they have done; to enlist the
services of the whole nation.
We do not know any better way
to arouse the spirit of this nation
than through the American Red
Cross. Every man, woman and child
who is unable to take an active part
can do something to help win the
war by helping the Red Cross. No
one who has been in France, in Bel
gium, inItaly, or England, and has
seen what the Red Cross is doing,
can fail to believe this:
1t gives every one in America an
opportunity:
To help our soldiers and sailors
who are fighting our battles for us
three thousand miles from home.
To help England, whose magnifi-
cent strength and determination are
the most vital factors in this terrific
struggle to-day.
To help Italy, where the recent re-
treat, made through the section of
the country in which many of the
important military hospitals were To-
Gated, has left thousands of wounded
men without adequate care and has
driven hundreds of thousands of re-
fuges from their homes.
To help France, on whose territory
this war has been fought for more
than three years and to whom we
owe so much.
The Red Cross gives to every
American the chance to join Gener-
al Pershing in the words he spoke
in the midst of our troops, on the
Fourth of last July before the tomb
of Lafayette, when he saluted and
said simply:
Lafayette, we are herew
