Ssd.Faced Thinkers.

A patron Of Hr. Dana's library OBJ
serves that the people who browse in
the fiction department look happy and
peaceful and contented. while the peo-
pie who frequent the technical room
look miserable. The phenomenon may
be thus explained: The people in the
technical room are engaged in think
ing. and thinking Is the most violent
work that the human being does. A
football player plunglng through the
line doesn't look happy. A runner
winning a race wears a look Of an
guish. a man thinking IS engaged in
a more strenuous undertaking than
football or foot racing. OF course, he
looks wretched.-Newark News.

To Chapter Chrirman: The clothing
problem is one Of the most serious fac
faced by the peoples liberated by the
war.
At the present time the American
Red Cross is shipping one million gar
ments to destitute refugees monthly.
To meet this need the American Red
Cross will conduct mammoth collect
ion of usued clothing, shoes and blank
cts throughout the United States dur
ing March. The American Red Cross
representatives abroad and Herbert
Hoover, head of the European Relief
Administration, have cabled that an
immediate supply Of every kind of
clething is absolutely vital to the health
and life of millions of men, women and
children.
Clothing must be supplied to the suf-
fering peoples in Northern Fra nee,
Belgium, Italy, Roumania, Serbia,
Greece, Montenegro, Palestine, Alban-
la, Czecho, Slovakia and Poland. To
meet this need the millions of members
of the Red Cross will be asked to assist
by donation of old clothing that will
prove a veritable Godsend to those
who have borne the brunt of the war.
The collection will be made at time
when practically the whole country is
discarding winter clothing, much of
which would never again be donned by
owners. Thus at minimum of sacri-
/ fee, the American people will be able
to show their brotherhood to those
who suffer. At least Ten Thousand
Tons of Clothing are Needed. The
drive to obtain this will be conducted
by Red Cross Chapters throughout the
country. An important feature of the
present collection is the fact that the
clothing will be forwarded to Europe
where it will be sorted and repaired by
the people foT whose benefit it has
been collected, thus giving to the wo-
men of these countries employment as
well as the needed clothing. Within g
short time full instructions for con-
Quoting the campaign will be sent tt
Chapters.

The Guitar.

The guitar is an instrument of six
strings, viz, E, A, D. G, B. E. The
strings, if sounded together, would not
make a chord according TO the rules
OF modern harmony. It is not diff.
cult instrument to learn and its chief
use is in accompanying another instru-
ment or the voice in singing.

RED CROSS NOTES
The New Head Of the Red Gross.


That the Red Cross will continue to
cy is assured by the recent announce
ment that Doctor Livingston Farrand
has excepted the Craftsmanship of the
Central Committee.
Red Cross Officials feel no doubt as to
the future success of the Red Cross IN
der the leadership of Doctor Farrand
Doctor Farrand's achievements in the
Educational and Medical World have
been such that he will bring to this
work broad knowledge of the many
activities embraced in Red Cross SER
vice. AS Executive Secretary of Ma,
tional Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis, as Treasur-
er Of the American Public Health Asso-
citation and as Editor of the American
Journal of Public Health, he enters up
on bis new office with a fund of know :
ledge and experience relating to the
most generally recognized relief factor
Public Health.
Since cur entrance into the war Doc
tor Farrand has been in charge of the
tuberculosis Relief Work in France.
To carry on this work DR.. Farrand wa s
on leave of absence from the Unlver-
sity of Colorado, the presidency of
which he resigns to become the head of
the Red Cross. In making the an
nouncement OF Doctor Farrand's ap-
pointment. Mr.. Henry C. Dawson,
Chairman of the War Council, stated
that the Red Cross has secured as its
future head the man of allmen best fit
ted to carry on this work, and than on
March 1st, when Dr. Farrand assumes
his duties and announces the Peace
Program of the Red Cross, every Chap
ter in the country will realize that the
Red Cross work will and must go on.
To Chapter Chairman:-At a recent
meeting of Directors of Publicity hel d
in Washington, it was agreed that the
future achievements of the Red Cross
depended largely upon the publicity
that could be obtained.
The Red Cross will continue to have
important news for the public. It is,
therefore, essential that each Chapter
have as its Publicity Chairman a man
or woman well fitted to carry on this

Renewed Knittins.

To All Chapters:-It has been a mat
ter Of much interest to both the Divis-
ion and the Chapter as to the DISPOSE
ton of the yarn which we now have on
hand. We have just received infor-
nation regarding the utilization Of all
this wool. We feel sure that the
Chapters will be glad to know that we
are to make stockings and sweaters for
children in large quantities and will
utilize the small scraps of wool for wo-
mems shawls and children's muffiers.
We will send you in a very short
time full instructions for the making
of these garments and quota to cover
that part which your Chapter will be
called upon to make.
This is merely advance information
to let the Chaprtes know that we are
to again resume knitting. We cannot
urge upon you too strongly the ne
cessity for this work, and will ask you
to utilize all the wool in your possess
ion.
Any Chapters not having any wool
will be furnished some.
The next issue of Important Items
will contain the directions for these
new knitted garments and Chapters
will receive sufficieet copies from the
Bureau of Production to take care of
their entire quota. Extra copies may
also be had upon application.

Director, Bureau of Production.

InternationaIists Are Imperialists.

It Is the Imperialists of London and
Liverpool, of Washington and New
York, that are the enemies Of America
and mankind today. If they win the
peace, we have lost the war.-From the
New York Nation.
While this statement is not quite
clear, presumably it means that the men
who insist upon settling boundaries,
the acquisition of territory, and control
of trade routes and other economic
problems, at the peace table, are I'm
perialists, while those who wish to
make the peace conference a sort of
birthplace of Internationalism and a
a world nation, founded on moral forces
and brotherhood, are not Imperialists.
If this is a correct Interpretation of
the statement, it would appear that
those who insist upon maintaining ma
tionality and just international checks
and balances, are less Imperialists than
those who are obsessed with world do
minion and supernationalism embracing
all the nations and all the people On
earth. This latter program would be
Imperialism to superlative degree,
and the Imperial power would rest
with an Imperial or International Com
mittee or Congress, probably run by a
few men; for there must be head to
every human organization. 1t is easy
to see where such program of Imperi-
alism would lead
The Nation is little nebulous in its
statement, rs all mere theorists are;
but it strikes the average reader that
Nationalist at the peace conference
are the men who want to secure prac-
tical result, while the Internationalists
are the real Imperialists. Surely. eff
they win the peace, we have lost the
war"
This is why Protectionists are Ma
tionalists. They want to win the peace
and thus enjoy the fruits of great sa-
