the process Of getting this money

all the members of the family NAV

Dispute Between Italy and Aus.
tria Over Art Collections.
italians Particularly Anxious to Re-
cover Former Austrian Emperor's
"Florentine GEN."

Vienna.-A new turn has been given
to the dispute between Italy and Aus
tria over art collections by the state
ment that former Emperor Charles has
carried Off to Switzerland the imperial
jewels. the whole Of which are regard
cd in Austria as being his private
property, but claims for which have
been filed by Italy, particularly the
Florentine diamond Of 1873 1-3 carats.
The Italian commissioner, Professor
D'Ancona, has stated that this dia-
mond formed part of the collection left
to the city of Florence under the will
of Anna Maria Medici, but that 1t was
carried off by the house Of Austria in
174S when Duque Leopold became en-,
peror Of Austria.
He said the Austrian government
had been notified Of Italian claims to
this jewel months ago, and II 1t per-
mitted Emperor Charles to carry 1t
away 1t would be necessary to obtain
possession Of 1t again. 1t Is unknown
here whether the emperor has dispos-
ed of the diamond while In Switzer-
land In order to pay his living ex-
penses.
Professor D'AncOna has carefully
traced the history Of this remarkable
stone which, legend relates, was lost
on the battlefield Of Granson by
Charles the Bold, duke Of Burgundy,
six centuries ago.
1t was picked up and believed to be
a piece of glass and sold for small
sum. 1t found its way to Switzerland,
where 1t was sold for 1000 ducats to
the duke of Milan, and brought to
Rome in 1901 by Ferdinand Medici.
1t has been on exhibition Of late years
In the HOfburg museum.
Professor D'AncOna pointed out to
the Associated Press correspondent
that the Austrians cannot claim that
In surrendering this stone they would
be injuring Vienna's art collection

private citizen and has left the coun

Red Cross To Hold Drive.
Will Try To Raise SIS. 100000
Between November 3-11.

Washington, Aug. 10 Plans for a
nationwide Red Cross campaign opening
Monday. November 8, and closing Armis
tice Day. November IL. were formally
ANNOUNCED tonight by DR. Livingston
Farrand. chairman of the Executive
Committee of the American Red Cross.
The primary object of the campaign
which will be known as the Third Red
Cross Roll Call. will be to enroll members
for 1920. hut there will he in addition a
general appeal for SIS, 900, O'O to enable
the organization to complete its war Oh
legations at home and abroad. There
will be local appeals, where necessary,
conducted by the chapters to secure funds
needed for local progra MS
During the war there were two annual
Red Cross campaigns, the War Fund
Drive in the late spring and u Christmas
Roll Call for membership. The only
campaign this year will be the one in
November, and in succee ding years there
will be only an annual RI II Call in which
the Red Cross will seek the reaffirm-
d allegiances of the American penl L.
expressed in dollar mt n bership. The
money SO derived will be used for
American purposes, Ind the approval
thus received is to be regard rs man.
date to carry on future programs.
1.-THE first task of the American Red
Cross is, of course. to complete it's obi
cations to American soldiers and Sailors"
said DR.. Farrand in announcing the pro-
gram. 1.-The organizati ton plans as its
future policy to concs nitrate it's efforts
upon peace problems at hone, unless
America should again be involved in war
or confronted by great disasters creating
special emergencies
1.-The Red Cross progra ms are primarily
within the field of public health and will
aim particularly at cooperation with
official activities, Federal, State and local.
The Red Cross will seek not to duplicate
the work of established organizations,
but will endeavor to supplement other
agencies where they already exist or to
stimulate and organize work where none
such exists"
The tremendous task of the American
Red Cross in the war has, however. left
continuing obligation which cannot be
fulfilled for some months to come. In
an amendment to the Army Bill Congress
has prolonged the, responsibility of the
Red Cross abroad by authorizing Secre-
tary of War Baker to transfer to the
Red Cross such medical and surgical sup
plies and supplementary and die airy food
stuffs now in Europe as is not needed by
the army abroad or at home ito be used
by the American Red Cross to relieve
and supply the pressing needs of the
countries involved in the late war"
inventories of these supplies are now
being made. To them will be added such
material as the American Red Cross it
self has in Europe, and these will be dis
tributed in the countries where the or
ganization is concluding its war relief
program and where, because of the raw
ages of war. famine and epidemic, the
distress is most pronounced, as in the
Balkans. Poland and other European
countries. To meet these obligations
and administer this foreign relief the
Red Cross must raise fund of Sis, 000,
900.

THIS IS WHY YOU THIRST
Relative Drying Of Mucosa Of Mouth
and Pharynx 10 Prominent
Factor.

Cambridge, Mass. - "Thirst is a
purely local phenomenon" according
to DIR. w. B. Cannon Of Harvard.
And that's not all. Lssten:
"The pre-eminent factor is the rela-
tive drying of the mucosa of the
mouth and pharynx. This may result
from excessive use of the passage for
breathing, as in prolonged speaking
or singing, or may be caused by de-
Hcient salivary secretion"
Doctor Cannon says the latter condi-
ton represents true thirst, dependent
on the fact that the salivary glands
which keep the buccal and pharyngeal
mucosa moist require water for their
proper functioning.

baid: 1--WE don't want them scrambling

"Oh! If you only would it would be
IA splendid way out Of the difficulty.
Do you think you can saw through
those thick boards?"
"Tm sure 1 can," Ransom said. and
decided his next heroine should have
reddish hair and that peculiarly mag
netic smile which was being waited to
him from the window. He decided also
that he must see the smile often II he
were to describe it worthfly In his
novel. But if the boards are too aw-
fully heavy 1 may have to remove
couple of them, which would make
gate quite big enough for grownup
people to pass through; that is, if
have your consent?"
, 1t was then that Mrs. Ainley chose
to blush.
Il suppose it would be much simpler
than saving Them" she said.
Ransom thought swiftly. If he could
Just finish off his story late that night
he could work on the gate during the
AFTERNOON. The story must be c0mplet-
led. He sent another glance up at his
ineighbor and realized that the gate,
too, must be finished-it was essential
Ito his happiness. So long as the fence
remained in it's present perfect divfd-
ing state he would fret, and If he fret
ted he could not write stories. Some
thing gentle and lovable about his
neighbours personality told him that
he was going to have to write many
.stOries. He seemed to sense that a
greater income was going to be most
necessary soon.
1T really should be done right
away" he told her; "the children
won't be happy now that they have
found each other until they can play
together, and will try to help the boy
with his tracks,"
"And will mend the bestest Dress"
said his heroine.
RanSOm's neck was getting D1t
crooked from continued looking up to
his neighbours window, but somehow
he knew the outcome was going to be
wortl; getting stiff neck over. He
felt that he must come in for more
bodily discomfort after his carpenter
ing efforts. Authors are not built for
manual labor. i,
'Tonight's sun will set on two gar
dens made into one" he Informed her,

"Some falls are all for the best" she
said laushingly, while her eyes rested
with added tenderness on her son.
1.-The very, very BEST" Ransom sup
| plemented, while his eyes rested on the
! mother of her son. And if there was
tenderness in them it could not be
seen from so great distance as the
window next door.
! However, the gate would be finished
