National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, Will Place
$4,000, 900 Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-as millions of
Americans know it TO day, is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t vas orig
mated In 1907 by Miss Emily p. Bissell,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
threugh Jacob Riis Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway Tor
the purpose of raising und Win
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Amerl-
can Red Cross TO take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in a
limited number OF communities IN
1905 The safe yielded a revenue of
approximately $4,000. The Red Cross
her decided 10 issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over TO
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached S0,OO0,0O0.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December l.. More
than half a billion seals have been
nrinted for distribution 10 state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds in denomina-
tions ranging from $500 TO 500. 90

large contributors, who do not send
ont a sufficient quantity OF mail In
December TO make use of all the seals

combined quotas of all the state or
g~anizations call for more than $500
COO to carry out the intensive educa-
tional campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and It's 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale OF these seals
represents a practical demonstration
of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
merits OF the highest standing In sales
management have co-operated to the
extent of assuring those interested
thst every resident OF the United
States will have an opportunity 20 buy

ENID BENNETT AT LIBERTY.

DOUGLAS, May 27.-Among favor ite motion picture attresses in this country Enid Bennett, the popular little Australian star, holds a high place in public estimation Her superb artistry is evidenced in every scene of "A Desert Wooing," in which she appears at the Liberty to- night. In this remarkable picture, Miss Bennett is seen as a iaded so- ciety girl, who is placed in the matri- monial market by her impecunious mother to be sold to the highest bid der She weds a breezy Western rancher. a primitive man, whose masterful ways and manly qualities ultimately win her love and reju venate her jaded spirit. She proves equal to every emergency and when her great love is placed to the test, she evinces remarkable courage, and once. the serpent has been moved from her Eden, she finds happiness in the love of her primitive husband.
 Miss Bennett is admirably sup ported in this picture, her leading man being Jack Holt, who has been favorably seen in many of Sessue Hayakawa's picture successes. The picture was produced by Jerome Storm, while the story was written by J. G. Hawks, a scenaroist of rare powers. We do not think you can afford to miss seeing this picture. and we respectfully recommend it to your careful consideration.

 Miss Pearson was well fitted for the part of this girl because she has decided ideas on what ought to be done to the German soldiers who ruined buildings and farms and wo- mems souls in France. You will

north over the released waters will be the United States revenue cutter Bear. Every spring for thirty years the Bear has been the first into the northern sea with mail and supplies for isolated Alaska points as far north as Point Barrow, the corner of the continent
 First sight of the Bears smoke over the southern horizon means to the Alaskans in the far north that their long winter of ice and snow is over and that fresh supplies from the outside world can be had.
 The Bear left here several days ago with mail for isolated northern post offices and supplies for the govern ment schools and reindeer stations in Alaska and the federal sealing sta tion on the Pribiloff Islands.
 The Bear left several weeks ahead of the regular passenger boats, the first one of which is due to leave early in June. The Bear was to steam direct to Unalaska and there await the Dredkup Ol the lCe III lHe Boring.
 Tn the fall the Bear will be the last to leave the north before the ice locks the seas. She will spend the summer patrolling the Boring Sea- carrying government officials from part to port, guarding shipping help ing disabled vessels and in general living up to her nickname of "Thc Good Samaritan of the Bering."

EDWARDS ACTED,
THOUGHT AF TER
Says Congressman ScMIy In
State Committee Matter
SCULLY Did NOT WANT JOB
But Declares He Should Have
Been Given Privilege
Of Declining 1t

Representative Thomas ]. Scully is
sued the following statement today In
reference to the offer of the State
Chairmanship made to him by Sem
ator Edward I. Edwards the Demo-
ckatic candidate for Governor:
IT should like to say few words
to clarity from my point of view the
facts incident to the election of the
Democratic state chairman.
Former State Chairman Grosscup
called me on the telephone and in
formed me that Senator Edwards was
going to see me about the chairman
ship. He said they had the necessary
votes to elect me. I informed him
that had no desire to take the place
and had not even filed my petition as
a member of the State Committee.
He advised me to hear what Edwards
had to say.
occasion Mayor Frank Hague, of Jer-
sey City. while visiting me in my
home, had asked me not to with
draw from the State Committee, SO
that I might be eligible for the chair
manship.
Senator Edwards called Sunday
and asked me If I would take the
Office of state chairman and take an
active part In his campaign. I did
not give him q definite answer, but
him. 1 knew from experience that a
candidates wishes prevail in such
matters as the craftsmanship Of what
is virtually the campaign committee.
1.-THE following evening the senator
called me up again and informed me
that at conference 1t had been de-
cided to retain Charles e. Mcdonald,
of Monmouth county, as chairman of
the state committee.
'There are just two possible ex-
plantations of Mr.. Edwards's change
of mind, or of heart. Friend Blakes-
lee had so much confidence in him
self he wanted to run the campaign
without interference from the state
chairman, as he can now, or else the
attitude of James r. Nugents friends
was feared If was elected chairman.
"The whole trouble was that Ed
wards acted first and thought after
ward, or permitted some one else to
think for him. I did not want the
fob, but having been offered 1t ]
should have been given the privilege
of declining 1t.
'Mr. Edwards stated that Mr.. Nc
Donald was selected to nominate me
as state chairman"

the time Of the Morgan disaster felt
the cruel hand of war in no uncertain
way. But it grimly bent to the task
of rebuilding and undoing the great
damage done by the explosion.
It was the general opinion that the
kind hand of Providence hovered
over this city and the lives of thou
sands as the explosions which were
heard thirty miles away and broke
windows at that distances the ruin
here was not as great as might have
been expected.
At Morgan large buildings crum-
bled as If made of tissue paper, acts
Of heroism in moving cars of high
explosives out of range of the contin-
ually spreading fire were enacted and
hundreds risked their lives in an en-
deavor to check the spread of the
fire to the other huge magazines con-
tanning more explosives which, If
ignited. meant another big addition
to the casualty list which already
was large.
Some realization of the seriousness
of a possible explosion, larger than
any which had yet come, on Saturday
afternoon can be seen In the fac
that in New York City, thirty miles
away, express subway service and
subway service under the rivers was
suspended until 1t was known that
danger of this other explosion had
passed.
