RED GROSS SALES
 REPORTED LARGE
Material Valued at 1OO,OO0,O0O
 Francs Distributed in Europe

Paris, Oct 22.-Because many l inaccurate reports of large sales of 1 American Red Cross merchandise 1 have appeared recently, Red Cross 1 headquarters in Paris has issued a statement explaining that the only 1 materials which have been sold are certain perishables, secondhand equipm ent, surplus stocks and articles
 which can no longer be used for direct relief work, either in France or in Eastern Europe.
 The total sales of surplus and second- hand material by the Ameri- can Red Cross in Europe will aggre- gate not more than 30,000,000 francs, says the Red Cross, while the value of the relief material distributed in Europe during July and August alone, will amount to more than 100, 100000 francs.
 The American Red Cross is now conducting operations in Y European countries. The relief material dis tributed in France, mainly in the devastated districts. since the arml- stice, is valued at over 5000, 900 francs, while in the same period other European countries have re- ceived more than 200,000,000 francs worth of similar supplies, including not only medical and surgical mate rial, but also clothing, food, barracks, etc.
 Such sales as have been authorized in France have been conducted through the American Red Cross liquidation board. The official state- ment says regarding this material: ; Unexpectedly heavy expenses of work in Poland and the Balkan States, and the beginnings of new relief activities in Western and Southern Russia, made it advisable to turn these stocks into cash to as- sst the relief programs, as we'll as to save certain of the accumulated stocks from total loss.
 "Of all the relief material in the American Red Cross warehouses on May 1, one-thrd was set aside for distribution in the devastated dis tricts of France. The distribution of this material is still continuing and

The big Hallo'een dance on Friday
evening was a marked success. The
decorations we're above the average,
and with the jolliest crowd yet in at
tendance, mighty fine evening was
the result. The band boys are to be
congratulated.
Did you see those costumes Friday
night? Say, if times do get much
worse, we'll all have an idea on dress.
Lucian Kopf, in the role of a gentle>
manly hobo, easily carried off the
honors. Miss Maxine Reed was noby
made up as we'll, but we are not stat
ing just what it all represented. The
costumes were splendid.
Mr.. Wall, for some time an en-
ploye of the company, passed away
Friday. Hardening of the arteries
was the cause. He was only sick a
few days and his death was rather
unexpected by his many friends. He
was quite aged.

Velocity of Liaht.

The velocity of light was obtained
by the Danish astronomer Roemer in
1916, by observing the eclipses of Jupi'
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and one-half min
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud-
ed the reason to be that it required IL
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earth'S
orbit, which measured the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter. This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about 10000 Aniles a second.
