LIBERAL RESPONSE TO RED
CROSS SUBSCRIPTIONS

Dallas. Tex, Nov. 3.-Evidence Of
the support Of the Red Cross Roll
Call is reaching the State headquar-
tiers from all sections Of Texas.
Throughout the district chapters have
reported since the opening OF the
campaign on Nov 2 a ready response
on the part Of citizens when asked to
renew their subscriptions Of last sea
son or become member Of the
American Red Cross for One Dollar.
The campaign will be concluded on
November 18th.
No single dollar spent individually
can accomplish small percentage Of
the benefits that the Red Cross dol
lar does, because Of its splendid or
ganization and means Of reaching
hose who are in need. 1t has come
TO the attention Of Red Cross chap
tiers every where that many people
do their sole contributing through
the Red Cross because Of its means
Of reaching those actually in need.
The Red Cross is not asking con-
tribution for 1920 II is asking
in the furtherance Of It's peace time
program nothing more than "a heart
and q dollar" II wants the support
Of It's members as well as 1t does the
membership fee for il realizes that
without that cooperation its funds

President Wilson, Secretary Of
State lansing. Secretary Of the In
terror Lane, Vice President Mar
shall, Governor Hobby, the American
Legion and countless thousands OF
others have given the Red Cross an
Endorsement. The work il contem-
plates at home is held to be equally
as important as that rendered in war

ARALoNE HUNTERS.


OFF the coasts Of the California
OchanneI islands there are many
submerged rocks, ard these are. OF
at least were. the home Of one Of the
most beautiful shell fish in the
world-the abalone. An abalone, in
case you never saw one. is built some
thing like a clam, but is more circular
in form and often as large as a mans
two hands. When it is split open. the
interior Of the shell is seen to be
tinted with the most beautiful ire
descent colors. and this same color is
produced on the outside Of the shell
by polishing and grinding. The meat
OF the abalone is good to eat and
pearls. both black and white, are &C
casionally found in it
The abalone has been systematically
gathered for a great many years, and
the japanese have had almost a mo-
nopoly on the business. They have
pursued il with great diligence, but
without any idea Of conservation. dis
regarding the laws which have been
passed for the protection of the aba
lone. with the result that the bivalve
is now threatened with extinction
The Japanese abalone hunter swims
around in the water where ii is about
IS feet deep, peering down through a
abalone. he leaves his box and dives
for it. cutting il from its rock and
often remaining under water for full
minute. These abalOne hunters seem
just as much at home in the water as
a seal or an otter. They work from
a sail boat. which has fire burning in
a sort Of hearth at one end When
the hunter has gathered a boxful Of
abalones. he returns to the boat and
warns himself by the fire before div
