will have special function to perform.
Nothing could be of greater impor-
lance to the American Red Cross than
the plans just set In motion by the FIVE
great Red Cross societies of the world
to develop program Of extended ac-
tivities In the interest of humanity.
The conception involves not alone eff
forts to relieve human suffering, but
to prevent 1t; not alone a movement
by the people of an individual nation,
but an attempt to arouse all people to
a sense of their responsibility for the
welfare Of their fellow beings through
out the world. 1t Is a program both
ideal and practical. Ideal in that its
supreme aim is nothing less than YER
table peace on earth good will to
men," and practical In that 1t seeks to
take means and measures which are
actually available and make them eff
fective In meeting without delay the
crisis which Is daily recurrent in the
lives Of all peoples.
"For accomplishing its mission in
the years Of peace which must lie
ahead Of US the Red Cross will require
the ablest possible leadership, and
must enjoy the continued support, SYM
patty. and participation in Its work
Of the whole American people 1t is
particularly fortunate that such a man
as DR.. Livingston Farrand should have
been selected as the permanent head
Of the organization. The unstinted
fashion in which an our people gave
of themselves throughout the war is
the best assurance that our Red Cross
will continue to receive that co-opera-
ton which will make its work a source
Of pride and inspiration to every Amer
lean"
Mr.. Dawson, as chairman Of the In
ternational Commission Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, has undertaken 10 rap
resent the American Red Cross in the
preparation of the program for extend
ed Red Cross activities, and will spend
the next several months In Europe in
consultation with other Red Cross soci-
cites for that purpose.

Beneficial Shorebirds.

All the shorebirds are strikingly
beneficial in their food habits. The
slaughter of these game birds deprives
the farmer of valuable allies against
some Of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds as quail, grouse and pleas
ant take less insect food than the
shorebirds, yet all of them do GER
tain amount of good. Even hawks and
owls have p bad name which for the
most part is undeserved, it is said, and
indiscriminate persecution of these
birds is a serious mistake.

Ancient Time Recorders.

Perhaps the first reference to at
tempts to reckon time by mechanical
means is found in Isaiah 1873, written
supposedly about 713 B. c., "the sun
dial of Ahaz." Pliny says that Anaxi-
mander invented a sun dial about $50
B. G. The first sun dial at Rome was
placed in the Temple of Quirinus,
about 298 B. c., when time was divided
into hours. The clepsydra, or water
clock, was the next time recorder in
vented.

Dire Day in Russian History.

November 80 is the anniversary of
the defeat of Peter the Great in 100
by Charles XII of Sweden. The Rus
sian monarch had 10000 troops
against the 5000 of his opponent, but
the superior generalship of the Swede
more than balanced the numerical SUI
periority of the czar.

Membership Plans Made Public.
Henry D. Lindsey, Chairman Ma
tional Headquarters of the American
Legion. 70 W. 44th street, New York
City, in order to make clear the policy
Of the Legion with respect to Negro
veterans of the great war who are
eligible to membership, issued the fol
lowing instructions:
Requests for a statement of the
methods by which eOlOred men eligible
for membership in the American Legion
NAV be included therein are constantly
coming to the National Executive Com
mittee of the Legion. The National
Executive Committee believes this mat
ter will be finally determined at the
National Convention in November, but
that it is highly desirable, in the mean
time. that the various state organiza-
tions determine that methods which
will reflect the wishes Of the member
ship Of the American Legion in such
states.
The fight of Negroes to join the
American Legion is clearly determined
in the constitution adopted at st. Louis,
and will be generally recognized as the
fundamental right of all who served our
country as defined by your constitution.
The problem is to permit this member
ship within the several states in ae-
eordance with the wishes of the mem
bers Of the Legion in such states
On behalf of the National Executive
Committee. 1 wish to bring to your at
teution. and to ask that you so inform
the various posts within your state, the
methods which may carry out the Pur-
pose desired:
A local post may be composed e1-
eIusively of white men, or exclusively
of eolored men. or part white men ana
mart eolored men, as the local post may
dotermine with the approval Of the
state organization. 9,
With the composition Of the local
most determined, in one Of the ways
stated. there are two methods ol
handling the next step, and it is the
desire of the National Executive Com
mittee that you ascertain and advise
this committee that method which IN
vour state will represent the wishes OF
the members of the Legion.
Local posts composed exclusively Oh
colored men may be under the one state
organization. in which event such post
would be represented in the convention
Of such state organization in accord
apce with the National and State Con-
stitutions of the Legion. If tins should
not be desired by the members OF 'n'

Students Of Psychology
Detect Criminal Traits

Moscow, Idaho, Mar. 1l.-Students
of DIR. Reeds Psychology courses at
the University of Idaho have proved
themselves successful detectives. They
were given the problems of determin-
ing which of a group of IL persons
were "guilty.' 1t was known that SIX
of them had committed a "crime, "
and it was up to the students to deter
mine which ones.
The suspects were subjected to an
ordeal that only lacked the severity
of the third degree. Following the as
sociative method made famous by the
psychologists. Jung and Munsterberg,
each of the II suspects responded to
each word pronounced by the examin-
er, with the first word that came into
his mind. The class recorded the re-
sponse, and the reaction time, or the
number Of seconds that elapsed be-
tween stimulies and response, There
were 50 words in the list, half of which
were crucial and related to the circum-
stances of the crime. 1t mattered not
how trivial the mis1cmeanor may have
been, the criminals guilt was unmis-
takably brought to light.
