In travelling around the world a day

made when crossing the 1S0th merldi-

NOT ALL IMPRESSED ALIKE
Curious to Note the Different Behavior
of Animals in the Vicinity of
Wars Alarms.

Some interesting notes have been
made in regard to the behavior of vari-
Gus animals under the terrific condi-
lions of noise. vibration. explosion and
other disturbances at the front. Thus
It seems clear that some kinds of birds
under the dominance of instincts Of
feeding nesting or brooding, behave as
If they are Indifferent to all kinds Of
turmoil. Living creatures of many
kinds are not in the least impressed
by sounds which have no interest
for them. To terrific disturbances,
which have neither inherited nor nc
CURED meaning" an accurately SEN
sitive organism may remain quite in
different.
But another point is raised, says
Nature, by some observations which
refer to the diverse ways in which
sheep and cows react to dummy
bombs released from an airplane The
cows seem entirely Indifferent to the
"swish" of the falling bomb, but the
sheep Invariably scatter in panic"
Have the cows a different-more pla-
cid-temperament? But how excited
they get at times by the buzzing OF
flies that cannot hurt them. The ex-
cltement is probably due to fallacious
association with the buzzing of blood
sucking flies which can hurt them ;
and the suggestion is that sheep are
panic-stricken because the swish Of a
falling bomb is probably not unlike
the sound of bird Of prey, say a
golden eagle.

knew how to charge those days, she says. Now-well, she don't mind it, that's all."
 The hermit gardener has hard time of it though to make both ends meet. She admitted it. It takes very little to satisfy her humble wants, but that little is hard to get at times. Her neigh bors help when they can, but they too are poor folk, and can't do very much.
 Mrs Valencia retains the use of most of her faculties, but her eyes. are fast failing, her and since 1906, when she was run over by horse, her left arm has been bad and at times her mind wanders.
 Except when the rheumatism in her arm is too bad, however, the old lady may be found barehead- ed out in the sun working over her little garden plot. And very creditable looking and good bear ing plot, it is. She figures one must eat, you know.
 Mrs. Valencia is not pathetic figure. Far from it. She is an inspiring example of what grit and stick-to-it-iveness will do.
 Does she expect to live to 1902"
 God alone can tell" said the old lady, but God is good"
 She has seen Bisbee throw off it's swaddling clothes and grow up, but to what extent the infant has progressed. at the present time, she is ignorant.
 Not once in the past five years has the little woman been farther down town than the little grocery at which she does her shopping, about 100 yards from her home:
 Might it not behoove some Bis beetle when prices seem too high and life little tough some of these days to forget it all by visit ing Granny" Valencia and her little garden?
 Buy a few of "Granny's" peach es and forget the high cost of liv- ing for a time, as she is doing, toiling up there in the canyon day in and day out-all alone!

Plans for a nation wide Red Cross campaign opening Monday, Novem- Der 3, and closing armistice day, No vember II, have been announced by Dr. Livingston Farrand, chairman of the executive committee of the Amer ican Red Cross. The campaign will be popularly known as the Third Red Cross Rollcall, and it's purpose will be the enrolment of members for 1920. In addition there will be gen eral appeal for $15,00O,000 to enable the organization to complete it's war obligations at home and abroad.
 The Pacific division has been mak- ing splendid headway in it's orsaniza- tion drive plans, and has already been complimented by national headqual- ters for the progress made. Coop eration has been asked of every church, commercial organization and Boy Scout organization in the divi- sion.
 Each of these organizations has been asked to name a committee of from three to six members to work on the preliminary plans with the division office, and to cooperate with the local chapter during the drive.
 The response to this call for com mittees has been very gratifying and if iJ continues in the same manner will practically assure the success of the roll call Up to the present time close to two hundred committees have been reported, with additional ones being added to the list daily.
 Not only have the various organi- cations been communicated with, but all foreign consuls have supplied lists of foreign societies which are assur- ing their support and promising to name committees in the near future. The division plan is to dispense pub | licity material through the various committees to be read before the or ganizations. Other details of the l drive will be turned over to these committees from time to time so that they will be thoroughly familiar with all conditions previous to the opening of the campaign.
 With the conclusion of the prelimi- nary arrangements and when the com mittee lists have been completed, chapters will be furnished by division 1 headquarters with complete list of all committees within chapter juris- dictions. The chapters will be asked then to give these committees final working instructions on the drive, these committees to augment the reg ular chapter organization.
 As a means of dispensing propa ganda an elaborate speaking campaign is contemplated. The division is in communication with war veterans or ganizations in the hope of securing the services of veterans of the Civil war, the Spanish-American war and the war just concluded. In addition 1.-the services of 112 returned Red tCross overseas workers are available
 Librarians throughout the states oi California, Nevada and Arizona have
 pledged themselves to be of assist ance in the campaign in any way pos sible. Committees in the libraries are being appointed to work with bott division and the chapters. and an ar engagement has been made whereby
 slips announcing the drive will be placed in all books released by each library on a certain day or days pre-
 vious to the opening of the drive.

Bisbee daily review., 1919-08-31

Found at lastl One person in Bisbee that has no complaint to make on the high cost of living.
 Her name is Guadalupe Valen- cia and she is S6 years old. Whats more, she lives entirely by herself and ekes out a very scanty living from the little gar den that she maintains in the rear. of her quaint squat adobe home at No. 1, Tombstone Canyon.
 Granny Valencia is very proud of that No. l." for she and her husband built that little home way back in 1887, the first of the houses that now mark upper Tombstone Canyon. That was 32 years ago and there she has lived ever since.
 Twelve years ago the husband died. Granny wasn't left any thing but the little garden and the little house-and her own grit and willingness to work. Since then she has worked-and worked hard-all alone, selling her peach CS anu COi II d1O OCoho lOA " Uhob she could get, and living as best she could.
 From all this, one might think that the old Mexican lady-she was born in Sonora in 1883 would be the last to shrug at liv- ing costs. But that she did when a Review reporter saw her at her little place the other day. She speaks only Spanish, so an inter preter had to give her views in English.
 Tt must be pretty hard on the old lady the way prices are at the present time," ventured the inter- viewer. Ask her what she thinks of this high cost Of living, any way"
 The question was put with a rattle. Mrs. Valencia listened carefully, then shook her head and a smile overspread her wrinkled face.
 "She says" grinned the inter- preter, 'that the high cost of living does not bother her. She says it isn't half as bad as when she came here in 1887. They

i The new exhibit shows every phase of Red CroSs work. Between fairs some open dates are still available, and the division will be glad to ship the exhibit intact upon the request from chapters.
 Red Cross motion pictures will be used extensively during the campaign. The National Bureau of Motion Pic lures is busy now preparing new reels which will accurately depict the ac- tivities of the Red Cross in the past, the work that is being done at pres ent and what is hoped will be ac- eomplished in the future Conditions upon which these new reels may be had will be announced shortly.
 Communications have been sent to the moving picture houses in the di- vision asking that slides be shown an nouncing the drive, just previous to the opening of the campaign. Pro- prietors of these houses are unani- nous in offering their cooperation free to the division. Likewise, they would probably be glad to use films if the chapters were prepared to pay the costs. The use of these films would bring many times the rental price in drive returns.
