RED CROSS NOTES

The American Red Cross has 4,576
Junior members in the Philippines, OF
whom all but two or three hundred
are natives. This g in spite of the
Fact that it is difficult to stir up any
interest among native children in wor
relief or any other charitable activi-
ties as they know so little of world
conditions beyond their own small
home "barrio" (village). Thcae Red
Cross Juniors work hard for the SCI
diers. They make handkercilicfs,
split pads, quilts, ice bag covers, bags
for crushing ice, strings for painmas,
and bod socks. In addition they have
sent 500 to Washington for pa
tron membership for their oganiza-
ton. They have also contributed
$50 to feed the hungry Belgian ckil-
dren.
| That one of the most important
tasks of the American Red Cross is to
keep up the morale of the French peo-
pie as a whole, through civilian relief
work is the message brought back to
America by DR.. James Alexander
Miller, head of the medical commits
sion which the Rockefeller Foundation
sent abroad last summer, and chair
man of the medical committee of the
Civil Affairs Department of the Red
/ Cross in France.
Led by the mayor more than a
score of the mere men of Anaconda,
Mont, last week took their first les
son in surgical dressings making and
astonished the women instructors by
their aptitude for the work. In
struction meetings of the mems class
are scheduled for every second and
fourth Wednesday of the month. In
tervening evenings the men are ex-
pected to do home work.
At Wheaton, MINI, Red Cross
workers declare they have still to
hear of better knitter than Mrs
William Nordin. Mrs. Nordin is 70
years old and does all the housework
for herself and son. Since the war
began she has knitted % pairs of
socks, 26 sweaters, 8 pairs of wrist
lets and 3 mufflers, which Wheaton
people claim comes pretty near being
a national record.

PARIS EATS MORE HORSES
Prices Rise From 20 to 40 Cents Tor
Ordinary Cuts-Suppiy From
British.

Paris.-A more extended sale of
horse meat is counted upon by the city
authorities to relieve the provisions
market. The sale of horse flesh for
many years has been considerable in
the poorer quarters of Paris. 1t has
increased considerably during the war.
Last year 43, 1884 horses were killed at
the Vanguard slaughter houses. The
increased supply of horse meat had no
depressing effect upon prices, however.
The British army is now the chief
source of supply. More than 1900
horses were received from that source
last year, yet the prices went from the
equivalent of % cents a pound to 40
cents for ordinary cuts and from As to
so cents a pound for the choice.

by the act, which are fine of not
more than $4,000, or Imprisonment
for not more than ten years, or both.
An American citizen in Germany
may be an enemy under the act. Thus
American heiresses who married Ger
man husbands have their incomes from
the United States cut off. A citizen
of Germany, on the other hand. who
peacefully resides in this country,
obeys the law, and does not engage in

within the enemies lines or in per
nicious activities against the U. s. A.
escapes any interference with his prop
erty. All aliens interned by the war
department, however, are enemies.
