AID FROM WITNESS
Texan on Trial in England Cross.
Examines Officer, Who Admits
Disputed Feat Possible.

London, March 31-Captain Ed

Texas, on trial before a courtmartial

aerial feats while on the British front
last summer, personally took hand

ing Capt. V. S. Bennett, a Royal Air
Force flight commander who took
part in scores of combats during the
war and who wears the War Cross.
Captain Chamberlain drew from the
witness testimony tending to sub
stantiate the feasibility of the various
maneuvers attributed to the American
in the flights he claimed to have
made.
Captain Bennett, for instance adj
mitted the possibility of a visiting
pilot acting in collusion with regu-
lar squadron pilot to take part in an
official patrol but the British officer
said he was sure detection would fol-

in the clause extending the franchise.
The number of voters under the
existing law is 1,460,OOO or 26 per-
cent OF the total poulatiOn, the mini

standard. ...
The proposed new law also pro
vides smaller electoral districts by

hopes to reduce the election expenses

hand the numbers in the House Of
Representatives would be increased

 dent of the Red Cross in the United States. She did a great deal in caring for the sick and wounded, especially during the Civil War, as she had charge of the hospitals.
 In 1884 she represented the Uni ted States at the Red Cross Confer ence in Geneva, Switzerland, and was also delegate to the Inter national Peace Convention the same year in that city.
 Florence Nightingale was also a very enthusiastic worker of the Red Cross. She did her greatest work during the Crimean War and she was also consulted during the Civil War and the Franco-German War. She published many pamphlets on nursing.
 In this country, it is plain that the old Red Cross as we knew it in June, nineteen seventeen, has given place to new organization-an organiza- tion transformed by the patriotic service and patriotic contributions into a society unequalled by any similar body in the world.
 So far, service has far outbalanced money given for work in the United States. The canteen service for in- stance, with which every American soldier is familiar who has been transferred by troop train across this country, has not been supported by money from the war fund. The work of giving assistance and advice to the dependent families of soldiers and sailors, although money has been badly needed in many thousands of cases it has consisted more in supply ing sympathetic aid and information and strengthening out difficulties than in simple financial assistance.
 The enrolment and eouipping of army and navy nurses has required comparatively little money.
 The funds needed for the forty base hospitals in this country and the two hundred abroad have not bulked large; as has been the case with the labratory cars and the sanitary ser vice. ...
 Expenses of administration have been paid entirely out of member ship dues and not from the War Fund. .-
 The Red Cross exists, in the main, to help the sick and wounded of this war. Since this war began, it has embarked upon every undertaking by which the many sick and wounded soldiers and sailors may be made more comfortable. It has provided stretcher-bearers to bring the wounded off the battlefield, ambu-

lance to carry them to a hospital hospitals, of all kinds where they can be dressed or specially treated and boats and lighters by which they can be shipped for home.
 In addition to all this work in the field, it has been, ever since the war began, a great distributing centre of all kinds of charitable work and es- pecially of those articles of use in hospitals.
 The Red Cross is now one of the largest organizations outside the Armies, and it's supplies comforts and deicacies of every kind to the millions of sufferers broken in the cause.

SERVICE IN THE HOME
What is the Actual Cost of Each
 Servant?

How many American housewives understand the actual cost of a maid? Tn engaging a household helper the average woman figures only on what the maid asks as wages. The food she eats, the light she uses, the dish es she breaks and the material she wastes are not considered. It would be diffiuclt to figure such items cor rectly, but the amount is consider able, because a maid does not have the interest of ownership to make things go as far as possible. The extra man about the place is also worthy of consideration as an item of expense.
 A housewife who is trying to econ omize by doing her own work should, at present prices, reckon at least $5 per week for the items mentioned. Should she save $5 in wages, it will be equivalent to $10 weekly. ..
 Many a woman is thus saving for a future need, education for the chil- dren, to own a home, or some other worthy object. Of course she invests in War Savings Stamps, but does she realize that from her savings as her own home worker she could buy two stamps where now she buys one?
 She may wish to teach her little daughter thrift, as well as household duties. In that case, why not pay her small wage for washing dishes, dusting, etc. She could also teach the child to invest a portion of the sum in Thrift Stamps, and thus bring down the proverbial two birds, teach ing usefulness and thrift.

No. 51

The War Savings, Plan is a plan by which you can lend small savings to the government at per cent in- terest, compounded quarterly. This ma be done by purchasing War Saw ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
 The War Savings Stamp is stamp for which the Government promises to pay $5 for each stamp on Janu- ary 1, 1923. This promise is backed by the faith and honor of the United States, and by the taxing power of this country, which is the richest in the world. a44s- ..ts-a-ee.. ...

War Savings Stamps

A War Savings Stamp is a "baby bond", Uncle Sam's promise to pay you five dollars five years from now, if you will loan him four dollars and fourteen cents in March or four dollars and fifteen cents in April, the increase being one cent a month until December 31st, 1919.
 We should buy War Savings Stamps because Victory is worth pay ing for. There are still large bills to be paid. Our men in France and other countries must be clothed and fed. Also because your government wants every man, woman and child to learn the great lesson of thrift. Saving should become a good habit for everyone.
 The War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps of 1919 are different in design from those in 1918. They are slightly smaller, and are blue in color, bearing a picture of Benjamin Franklin, the "apostle of thrift" The Thrift Stamps of 1918 and 1919 are the same in design, the issue of last year having been continued for this year.
 The 1918 issue of War Savings Stamps natures in 1923 and the 1919 issue in 1924. Therefore, with the dates of maturity a year apart it would be plainly impossible to use the same certificate.
 AS the 1918 and the 1919 issues of thrift stamps are identical, you may fill all the thrift cards which were incomplete on January first. Thrift stamps do not bear interest and cannot be turned in for cash as War Savings Stamps can. There fore it is to your interest to fill all thrift cards as rapidly as possible.
 Does saving twenty-five cents at a time really help? Yes. First it helps you; if you save even this small amount regularly it will mount up surprisingly. If every person in the United States would loan the nation twenty-five cents, Uncle Sam would have the use of $25, ,000,- 900 as the result.
 We should exchange Thrift Stamps for War Savings Stamps be- cause a War Savings Stamp bears
