DOUBLE BARRED CROSS
ADOPTED II YEARS AGO

The double barred Red Cross is
seventeen years old this month. In
October, 1902, the International Anti
tuberculosis Association, then meeting
in Berlin, adopted the cross as the
emblem of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis. 1t was proposed by DR..
G. Sersiron, of Paris. 1t is a COM
bination of the Croix de Lorraine and
the cross of the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic of
charity and help to humanity. Their
combined features were selected and
adopted as the symbol of the hope of
civilization. Four years later, in 1906
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country. 1t was in 1906
the National tuberculosis Association
was formed, and for the three inter
vening years the cross has been car.
ried over the United States by the
National tuberculosis Association and
its affiliated bodies, which now num-
Der one thousand.
The work of these organizations Is
financed chiefly by the Red Cross
Christmas Seal sale.

going out of date in hustling coun-

WORK OF SAVINGS
DIVISION TO CONTINU
Savings Stamps and Ceriit
Gates to Be Sold Indefinitely
Says Secretary Glass.

The government has received more
than $1,107, 100000 through sales of
Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates i n
the twenty-five months they have been
available for purchase by the public.
This is shown in a detailed statement
concerning the work of the Savings
Division of the Treasury Department
issued by Secretary of the Treasury
Glass. After a steady decrease in
sales from the signing of the armis-
tice, War Savings Stamps began to be
in greater demand in August and
September, and reports thus far for
October show a substantial increase.
As Secretary Glass has previously
announced, Thrift Stamps, War Saw
ings Stamps and Treasury Certificates
will be available for purchase indefi-
nately. The 'csign for the 1920 War
Savings Stamp is now being complef-
ed, while that of the Thrift Stamp and
Treasury Savings Certificate will re.
main the same.
oioSc statement Sdlu
Figures have been compiled show
ing the expenses of the government
savings and investment movement and
the returns from the sales of the
smaller denomination securities IN TO
and including September 80 of the
present year. While, naturally. with
the termination of the popular cam.
paigns of the war period which made
instant appeal to the patriotic fervor
of that time. sales dropped sharply
TO a decidedly lower level, the trenG
appearing in the figures for August
and September indicates that the eff.
forts of the Savings Organization To
combat the present tendency TO waste
and extravaganza which have come rs
a reaction from the wartime econo.
mics, are beginning to have their eff
feet. The present showing of @
versus return is a gratifying one"
Expenditures of the Savings Divis
ion have materially decreased durinn
h present calendar year and are be-
ing reduced with a view to making fine
thrift movement permanent
The measure Of the usefulness of
the Savings Organization and of the
thrift movement is not to be found in
sales of Savings Stamps and Ger
tificates alone. The Savings Organi-
cation is charged with the duty of
teaching thrift and saving and in
Yestment in and holding of govern
ment securities of all kinds-Liberty
Bonds, Victory Notes, and Certificates
or Indebtedness, as we'll as Savings
Certificates.

RETURNING ALIENS
SHOULD BUY W. S. S.
Their Savings Invested With
Uncle Sam Are Safe and
Show a Sure Profit.

Since the signing of the armistice,
It is estimated that 100000 alien
residents of the United States have
gone back to Europe. These emil
grants included Italians, Greeks, JugO-
Slavs, Syrians, Croatians, Seryians,
Kurds and Rumanians. Investigation
showed that many of the men of these
latter races had saved as much as
$4,000 which they took with them in
money.
That fact is a wonderful proof of
the opportunities afforded to immi-
grants by this nation, but it is also
proof that the aliens who returned to
Europe had failed to seize one of the
most important of these opportunities.
Had they invested that money in Unit
ed States government securities, such
as War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Saving Certificates, their savings
need not have been idle a moment.
Throughout their journeys, during the
time necessary for them to relocate
themselves. they would have been
protected from robbery and loss and
assured of a profit.
Further, they would have been re-
moved from temptation to risk their
saving in schemes devised solely to
rob them. The ease with which some

Professor Luigi Luzzatti, former Ital-

recently was deluged with money from
America in sums of 81 to 500 asking
him to reserve tickets for the send
ers in a supposed international lot
terry the proceeds of which were to 90
towards defraying the cost of the
war. There was no such lottery. A
mere rumOr in the French press had
been sufficient to induce hundreds to
part with their money.
If the foreign born residents of
America are seeking to aid in paying

the safest and most effective method
of doing it is to save a portion of

Observation-Disclosures most vicious
foe-has been sounded.
A recent health survey, made by the
experts of the National tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard to the
prevelency of the disease. The find
ings of this survey have revealed a
national menace, which must be eradi-
Gated. The figures show that each
year 10000 persons die of the dis
ease and that here are approximate
ly 100000 cases of tuberculosis in
the United States today.
The u%ntaught consumptive-one who
does not know the rules Of health, Is
an indefatigable spreader of the dis
ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be-
hind him a trail of the deadly germs.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
tlon and its affiliated bodies have en-
tered upon an intensive nationwide
educational campaign. The campaign
will be localized and within a short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands of volunteers.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its affiliated bodies are f.
nanced largely by the annual sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals. To make
possible the carrying out of this cam
paign, more than 100000, 900 seals will
be offered for sale during the holt
days. State and local tuberculosis
associations have at hand valuable
local data regarding the disease and
actual conditions in the communities
where they are located. The officers
of these bodies eagerly welcome in
