In addition to being mem Der of every Red Cross Society from Seattle to Anchorage, Purser Bach never ceases working in the inter- ests of that noble institution and on the completion of every trip to the Northland he has from $500 to $500 in cash to turn over to the Red Cross.
 On a late trip of the Admiral Far ragut from Gastineau Channel to the Westward, Purser Bach conduct ed a guessing contest in which one third of the money acquired was to be invested in War Savings Stamps and awarded to the winner. the re- maining two thirds to be turned over to the Red Cross. E. ], White. of Douglas and Juneau, who is now chief of the Alaska = rr of Pub licity, was a passenge5 sa the Far ragut on the trip mentioned and, like many of his fellow travellers, joined in the guessing contest on which the returns had not been made when Mir White left the steam CT at Anchorage. Great was his surprise, therefore. when one day recently he was notified by the Ju- neau office of the Admiral Line that letter awaited him there and on calling for and opening it, finding it to contain nine $5 War Savings Stamps, the contest having gathered in no less than $135-and the Far ragut was not crowded on that trip to the Westward either.
 The stewardess of the same steam CT is likewise a live one when it comes to Red Cross work. Being some little knitter, and compiler of fancy work, she also conducts con tests while sailing the raging main and on the same voyage mentioned, she gathered in $40 for the Red Cross, the fortunate guesser becom- ing the owner of cOllarette that was a thing of beauty and showed symptoms of being a joy forever.
