New Hope Red Cross Notes.

The New Year opens auspiciously
for the New Hope Red Cross.
The ladies who have given their
time, skill and energy to the making
of hospital requirements have done
it so we'll that the Phila. Chapter
has again sent a letter of praise and
encouragement, saying that the
work is so we'll done that no inspect
ion is needed.
AS to Miss Grace Miller's faithful
and skilled leadership in the antisep-
tic gauze dressings, a total of 2,612
were made during the month ending
Dec. 10Th. A special request came
for 912 and in the time allowed over
1900 sponges IT, bandages etc, of
which 1850 were gauze sponges
1000 more than requested, were
made.
There is great need of Oakum
pillows. Volunteers are begged to
come to the Engine House on Friday
to pick oakums for pillows. 1t is
hoped that everyone will try to help
in this important work. One need
not be Red Cross regular working
member. All are welcome, and the
work easy.

AMERICAS TASK IN RUSSIA
Must Doctor Minds of People and De-
veIop Sanity, Rather Than Take
Up Commercial Pursuits.

There is no evidence as to who
moved the Tower of Babel into Rus
STA, but there is no doubt it is there
in perfect replica. Everybody talks.
There are more parties in Russia
than ever sprang up in the United
States, allowing Kansas its full limit
in the count, asserts the Worcester
Telegram. There appear to be mil
lions who believe it was a mistake to
pull off that bloodless revolution,
and they want to go back some weeks
and fight out real revolution, just
to shed the blood that poisons the po-
litical atmosphere. They are afraid
of each other and of themselves.
They have stepped their minds in
socialism and nihilism so long that
the brain cells are fit housing for
rabies. They have dreamed so much
that real life is a mirage, so well es-
tabllshed IN the ABSTRACT That they
may never be able to come back to
earth and sit down as sane men and
women. They are so different that
they are nearly all alike, the entire
lot being conglomeration of fanat-
les. That makes the modern Tower
Of Babel not a simple mixture of
languages, but polyglot of things,
twisted and strained out of human
shape.
Americans have more to do in
Russia than make railroads and loan
money and dig out the ores. They
have got to doctor the minds of the
people and feed them on the mama
of sanity.

GIRLS MAKE GOOD IN MILLS
Pittsburgh Women Assert They Would
Not Think of Returning to Their
Previous Positions.

The experiment Of employing
women in Pittsburgh mills is no
longer an experiment as far as the
women are concerned, according to
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. At least
200 are employed at the Schoen
Pressed Steel Car works in McKees
Rocks and most of them wouldn't 90

making, or to work in stores, cigar
or box factories-n if their wages
were doubled. So numbers of them
declare. The women like the work,
and they say in the offices Of the
company that they are making good.

American girl, who wore the uni

SHOULD PLAN AIR TRAFFIC
Lord Montagu Predicts Time When
Craft Will Travel on a Series
of Flying Levels.

In a recent address before the
Aeronautical society in London upon
the development of aviation after
the war, Lord Montagu Of Beaulieu
painted an imaginative picture Of
the possibilities of air traffic in the
near future. He predicted a time
when the traveller from London will
save II days in the journey to India
and 20 days to Australia; when air.
planes will cover a regular average
of 1000 miles day and when traf-
fic will be regulated in a series of
air levels of 1000 feet each-pri-
vate planes up to 1000 feet; COM
mercial machines in the next level;
Ordinary flying" together with the
fast commercial machines, in the
next; then the official planes of each
nation (from 5000 to 10000 feet)
including those of the air police, who
will drop down on offenders in the
lower depths; and finally the levels
above 10000 feet, which will be used
for international travel.
Lord Montagu believes that there
will be such a tremendous increase
of air travel at the close of the war
that it is already time to consider
how routes shall be defined and kept,
and how the best use can be made
Of our present knowledge of the air
currents of the world. Such pic
ture as Lord Montagu paints may
seem very unreal, says the Youths
Companion, but those who have seen
the birth of the locomotive, the ma
rine steam engine, the electric tele-
graph, the telephone, the submarine
cable, the motorcar and wireless
telegraphy and telephony will not
be incredulous. The internal COM
bustion engine, with its light weight
and high speed, was the beginning
Of an evolution the ultimate char
acter of which it is impossible to
foresee.

Edge Hill, the scene of the first
battle in the Civil war, is to be

object is the development of the min

Shakespeare's homeland with Burton

Cromwell, according to tradition,

DROWNING BABY WAS POODLE
Canine Had Fallen Into Cistern and
Brave Man Was Induced to Leap
to Its Rescue.

1t all began When Snowfall, a
fluffy poodle dog, pursued a chicken
one morning in the back yard at the
home of Charles Leftover of 534
South Eleventh street, Kansas side,
says a Kansas City correspondent.
SNOWFALL became so interested in his
quarry he failed to notice an open
cistern top until after he had fallen
in.
For 80 minutes Snowball's owner,
Mrs. Myrtle Lewis, who lives at that
address, fished frantically, if vainly,
to get her pet out. Then she called
the fire department. Meanwhile
SNOWFALL had sunk twice. She ran
breathlessly to the front sidewalk
and pleaded with a man passing
along the street to rescue Snowfall.
The man was a foreigner. While
he could not understand her words
he partly translated her gesticula-
tons. He rushed to the cistern and
jumped in. About the time the fire.
men arrived he was suffering
things in Polish that sounded like
profanity. He supposed it was a
baby.

Audubon Societies, in the Museum
of Natural History. T, Gilbert Pear

NURSES ONLY WHEN NEEDED
Rendered Because of Wars De-
mand for All of the Profession.

Trained nurses will hereafter be
more of a luxury than ever. From
now on there will be no soothing of
feyered brows unless the brows are
really fevered. No nervous patients,
convalescents or infants need apply,
observes a Gotham correspondent.
So great has been the rush for the
battlefelds among the women of this
profession that many of the big hos
pitfalls find their stats crippled. In
order to meet the demand Of those
who really need their services the
available nurses may be obliged to
limit their work to those who abso-
lutely require it.
To one who witnessed the Red
Cross procession in New York it
might seem hard to believe that there
will ever be dearth of nurses. Thou
sands of them in their neat blue uni
forms and scarlet capes passed down
the avenue and it seemed as though
the supply was inexhaustible. But
thousand of these women are already
pledged for service on the other side
and since the war began many thou
sands have already gone.

JOHN BURNS EARLIER DAYS
Astonished Listeners With Statement
That He Had Taken No Food or
Drink in Twenty-Four Hours.

In his ''Record of An Adventurous
Life" H. M. Hyndman, the veteran
Socialist and war patriot, tells an
amusing story of John Burns earlier
days.
Several Socialists and labor lead
ers had lunched at my house (writes
Mr.. Hyndman) preparatory to at
tending a meeting of the unemployed
on the Thames embankment. All Of
us "did ourselves we'll" Burns par
ticularly distinguished himself as a
trencherman.
Judge, then, of our establishment
when the first sentences of his speech
at the meeting ran as follows:
"The upper classes tell US that the
unemployed are loafers and wastrels.
Now I'll do days work with any
one. Yet here l stand as unem-
ployed and as hungry as any Of you,
for neither bite nor sup has passed
my hps''-and his powerful voice
rang far beyond the crowd-for
four-and-twenty hours"
1t came like a bombshell on us all
(adds the author), and how Cham
pion, Jack Williams and the rest of
us kept from laughter l do not know.

RUSSIANS NOT TROUBLESOME.

The Japan Gazette says that hum
dreds of Russians, returning to their
native land from the United States,
are stranded in Yokohama and To-
kyo. Making plea for their assist
ance, it says; "Since the time when
Russian refugees on their way to the
homeland have made a temporary
stopping place of Yokohama, no case
of trouble or violence has been re-
ported to the police. Considering
that thousands of Russians of all
classes have passed through this city,
such statement is distinctly cred
liable to the exiles."

He was so good-natured that we
never noticed his looks. | remember

bowling with laughter inside. |

or could laugh so loud. l went in
and he was almost rolling out of his
chair. He had big heap of letters
and was putting stamps on them.
Beside him was a big Newfoundland
dog. He would tear off stamp and
the dog would stick out his tongue

Cobb would laugh until the building
shook. l never had so much fun as

laboratory facilities and an expert
investigator on providing an endow-
ment Of a few hundred dollars, and
many problems have been worked
out. In Great Britain, the privy
council for scientific and industrial
research proposes dividing the cost
by establishing trade research asso-

able government funds. A research
association for cotton is being organ
lied, and will be followed by others
for the wool, flax, oil and photo
