RED CROSS IS STILL
 PLAYING IMPORTANT
 PART IN THE NATION

The sudden coming of the armistice left the whole nation, so to speak, up in the air" Every organization of whatever nature from the army down, has existed in a state of suspense, its personnel baffled at every turn by conflicting issues and orders. The Rel Cross is no exception to this rule. Its workers in some departments have often been at loss what course to follow. -@a
 All this, as we'll as the sense that the war is over (which it isn't), has resulted in a sort of '1et down" atmos- phere. Effort, enthusiasm have relax ed. It has been harder to find money.
 But whatever may be the case in other branches of Red Cross work, there is one department in which there can be no relaxation of effort; in which, indeed, efforts must be in- tensified, resources augmented and or ganization developed. I refer to the home service section; that department of Red Cross which deals with the well fare of the families of the men who are serving or have served in our army and navy. This service runs along several lines.
 Upon the Red Cross has been placed by the government the duties of in vestigating the facts alleged by sol diers in their applications for furlough and discharge. These investigations must be carried out by the home serv- ice section; that this duty should have been placed upon them is high trip ute to the personnel of the Red Cross chapters. It is also great responsi- bility.
 And then, there is the case of the discharged man. The government makes no provision for him. But he has to wait often long time for the government to act, and while he is waiting the Red Cross home service section must care for him if he is sick, help him to get employment, see that he and his family are not in want secure for him (if he himself does not know howl his rights from the gov ernment.
 Our Red Cross reputation at the present moment rests largely on the results the field director in camp se- cures from the home service sections in cases of furloughs and discharges. The value of this work to officers charged with the decision in these cases can not be estimated. Largely, too, the Red Cross reputation rests on the assurances which home service sections can give through the field di- rectors to the soldiers that their fam flies are being cared for. Many des- perate man comes into the Red Cross office in our army camps. Yet the reputation of the Red Cross is sec ondary matter; the real point at stake is the reputation of the American people.

"WHO STOLE THE LOCK
 FROM WAREHOUSE DOOR?

PHOENIX, June 3.-"Who stole the lock from the warehouse door?' might have been the title to a deli cious little farce played in Justice Wheeler's court in the felony proceed ings against Sergeant E. A. Fern and Private K. w. Phillips, who on orders from Governor Campbell took posses sion of the state armory warehouse.
 The complaints were dismissed on motion of the county attorney follow ing the failure of Charles w. Harris, alleged adjutant general of the state of Arizona, or any one else to identify either of the young men as the "bur- glars" who had stolen the lock in question or broken into the premises.
 Capt. Temple was the first to take the stand in behalf of the complaining witness. It was he who had first as- certained that the warehouse had been entered, he said, but all he could say in response to cross examination on the part of Attorney Will E.. Ryan, representing the governor, was that when he called at the warehouse he found new lock on the door and a soldier in charge. When he question ed the soldier, he said he found that young man very reticent. Temple could not describe the appearance of the soldier in charge except to say that he had dark ,hair. He was posi- tive that the man he saw there was not in the court room.
 Then Harris took the stand. Harris admitted without blinking an eyelash that he was the adjutant general, that he also was a U. s. disbursing officer and charged with the custody of mili- tary supplies kept in the warehouse Harris admitted that though he had sworn out the felony complaints charging burglary, he did not know that burglary had been committed ex- cept by hearsay. He did not visit the warehouse at the time it was held by the governors agents, he said, there fore he could not attempt to identify those who had entered the premises or changed the locks.
 "Do you know of any one who might know?" Harris was asked.
 "Tom Maddock, state engineer might know" was the reply.
 On three occasions Harris appealed to the court to prevent the line of questioning directed by Attorney Ryan All attempts on the part of Ryan to have the governors order busting Harris presented were frustrated by the county attorney and in each in stance the latter was upheld by the court.
 When it became evident, however that there was no concrete evidence on which to sustain felony charge against either of the governors agents the county attorney himself moved that the cases be dismissed and this action was then taken by the court.

GIRLS AND HENS

The average girl of IS thinks she is much the superior of her mother. In a downtown store the other Miss Eigh- teen Years and her mother went to the veil counter to exchange a plain veil mother had bought for her child. Because it did not suit her, daughter was decided peeved. She would not even look at veils, but sat with her back toward the counter. Mother coaxed and finally got her to show some interest.
 A little boy was watching the per formance with some interest. Finally, he turned to his mother. "Mom," he asked, in an amused tone, don't she make you think of exactly the way our old settin' hen acted when you built her a new nest?"
 Mother laughed, but she could not help wondering if little "ducking" of the order to which she had treated the hen would not be of much benefit to the spoiled daughter.

BUILD
BUILD

The one great way to help maintain prosperity at this time is to proceed with construction enterprises. Six months wait has proved that prices will not be materially lower for some years to come, while many are actu- ally advancing.
 Construction work is needed every. where, and if begun now will make business for these great employing in- dustries which will enable them to maintain their payroll during this un- certain period, until world markets are again established and business is nor mal.
 The human impulse to postpone construction until commodities and labor are cheap is natural but rudi- mentary and does not comport with demonstrated business experience. If cost revolutions are certain and in sight, the case is different, but that is rarely the case, and is not the case now. Meantime, to delay business be- cause of high costs means stagnation and public as we'll as private bank

ruptcy High costs mean high reve- nues. The clever business man is the man who keeps them relatively adjusted--no time to kick but is busy meeting the daily situation.
 It is not a question of whether a building cost $10,000 last year and $15,000 this year, but question of whether one needs the building. It is identically the same with good roads. If mile of road cost $5,000 last year and would save the commu- nity $6,000, it was good investment. If the same mile costs $10,0O0 this year in the average case, it will save the community at least $12,00O, and be just as good an investment.
 These figures are not specific, but relative-used for illustration. The investment is good anywhere, any time, if good anywhere at any time. The supreme timeliness lies in the fact that if conditions make the investment possible, any time, any where, it de- velops permanent business, progress, prosperity.

CALLS VICTORY STAMP
 DEMOCRATIC PROPAGANDA

At a meeting of the Bergen Coun- ty Republican committee in Hacken- sack the other night, President Bren- nan, of the State League of Republi- can Clubs, exhibited a new Scent stamp showing the flag of the Allies and protested against it's issuance on the ground that it was Democratic propaganda in favor of the League of Nations. He said that no other flag but the stars and Stripes should be put on stamps of the United States government.

SIMULTANEOUS BINDINGS

A negro called on the chief of po- lice after a notice had been left at his house to the effect that he had failed to obtain license for his dog, and that if such license was not ob- tained within a week the dog would be taken to the pound and charges against the owner would, in conse- quence, be more.
 "But it is this way" the negro be- gan.
 q am sorry, but I can't argue the matter with you" the chief cut in. "You know your license expired at the end of the year and you ought to have obtained another"
 "But dat's de troub]e!" shouted the negro. An so did de dawg expire last year."

 "No, not at all," said the sick man. "You see, none of them have been with me over year; but it will look good in the papers, won't it?"
