 Paddock is one of the few really wealthy youngsters competing on the cinder path today. His father is a California millionaire and is deeply interested in his sons athletic achievements. So much So that he actually purchased a plot of ground and constructed a running track on it so that his offspring might have the finest possible training facilities.

ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
"F0urteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters Of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners Of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
gan1zation, generally known as the
"Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is-
land Of zap, which came under our
flag as result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30,80S paid up members. y
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate in the work
OF the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston Of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters Of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
RIGA, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam.
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members OF the Bed Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
Unreasonable personal service to the
relief OF disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief In case
Of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.

MODERN LIFE
CAUSE OF ILLS
Brings About lnnumerabIe NeceS-
sites for Adjustment
in Individual.
MANY CURED DURING WAR
Medical Expert on the Psychoses and
Neuroses Developed in Struggle
Chronic Worry Relieved After
Real Reason Is Found.

New YOrk.--Fear and anxiety, twin
demons that make miserable SO many
lives, have their origin in inward con-
f1ict and can only be conquered by
tracing the trouble to it's source says
DR.. FrankWood e. Williams, associ-
ate medical director of the national
committee for mental hygiene, in the
current number of Mental Hygiene.
Complex community life brings
about innumerable necessities for ad-
justment in the individual" and failure
to make these adjustments with
measurable degree Of success is often
responsible for so-called mental or
nervous ills, technically termed psy-
chooses or neuroses, according to Doc
tor Williams, who uses illustrations
from the recent war to make this
point clear.
Many Cured During the War.
During the war many men, finding
themselves in apparently intolerable
POSITIONS sought unconscious refuge
in mental or nervous breakdowns. BY
tracing the history Of the conflict so
terminating the greater percentage Of
the me1 might have been sent back
to their commands completely re-
stored and ready to face whatever
might come. In fact, Doctor Williams
says, many men Of this type did re-
cover completely with the aid Of rest
and proper psychiatric treatment, and
fought bravely.
The measure Of mans success in
handling life's problems, according to
the article, lies in his skill in adjust
Ing himself to the complicated life of
modern society. Some fail completely,
developing psychoses Of a more or
less serious nature, others are partly
successful, but the difficulties Of ad-
justment set up nervous disturbances
that render them neurotic, while the
majority succeed In making their cd
justments without too great difficulty.
Relieving Chronic Worry.
Even among those who are appar-
emily successful, however, thousands
are found who are annoyed by anx-
iety, who are "chronic workers." and
whose uneasiness arises from an inner
conflict which may be got at by the
use Of proper methods and relieved.
Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious r>asons for anxiety or fear,
and that these should not be over
looked, but that often the real reason
lies deep and must be carefully sought
after before relief can come.
It Is in these cases that the psv-
chiatrist finds his deepest interest and
his greatest chance to help. "Where
the reaction is out Of all proportion to
a reasonably assignable cause, or
where no reasonable cause may be
found, then expert guidance and help
are needed" says Doctor Williams,
citing instances Of persons afraid to
ride in the subway, fearful Of being
alone, In comfortable. happy surround
ings and worrying. and crying with
out apparent cause.

BROUGHT FROM VANCOUVER
Arrests in Seattle Cause Breakup
OF Big Ring-Trips Between Seat
tie and Vancouver Were Made
Under Cover of Darkness

Seattle, Wash.-Watery depths Of
Elliott bay formed the hiding place in
which liquor smuggling ring cached
wholesale quantities of Canadian whis-
Ky brought by boat from Vancouver
prior to the arrest of four of it's mem
bers, according to disclosures made
by Lieut.. 3. G. Collier, head of the
police dry squad, says a recent issue
OF the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Lieutenant Collier made public the
information regarding the ring follow
Ing the sentencing Of two of it's men,
bers in federal court and the failure
OF the launch operated by the gang to
arrive at it's customary place in keep
ing with the schedule planned pre-
vious to the arrest Of the four mem
bers Of the ring.
Gus Hanson, licensed mariner, and
John Morris, deck hand, were SEN
fenced to serve 30 days in the county
jail and pay fine Of $500 by Judge
Jeremiah Neterer when they pleaded
guilty to transporting liquor. The
charges against them were the first in
this district to be filed directly under
the authority of the new federal pro-
hibition law. Bert Jackson and John
Olson, laborers, were arrested at the
same time Hanson and Morris were
taken and are still held In the city
Jail.
The arrest of the quartette took
place at the base Of a 2OO-foot cliff on
Magnolia bluff while the men we're
taking the last 100 quarts Of Cana
dian whisky out Of the water pre-
paratory to carrying it to the top Of
the cliff above and storing it in
thicket less than forty yards off Mag
nolia boulevard near the southern end
OF Thirty-seventh avenue west.
A member of the dry squad had
purchased the amount in question by
making an initial payment with
marked money, when he was joined
by his fellow squad members, and the
four men arrested. The launch that
had brought the whisky from Van-
couver was scheduled to return with
another load some time between mid
night and daylight. In the morning
dry squad officers waited in vain for
it's arrival at the customary point Off
Magnolia bluff.
Liquor Sunk in Sound.
According to the plan of operation
as gathered by Lieutenant Collier, the
ring. was composed Of about seven
men, three Of them thoroughly versed
in navigation and particularly &C.
quainted with sound waters. TRIPS
between Seattle and Vancouver were
made entirely under the cover Of dark
ness, the boat taking it's load at
scheduled spot near Vancouver and
unloading it into the bay off Magnolia
bluff.
Each sack was tied to small cord
and lowered to the bottom Of the hay,
the cords being tied together on an
iron bar and the bar placed under
shallow water near the shore. The
sacks containing the whisky seized by
the dry squad were still wringing wet
when found, while a maze Of cords
was discovered near the waters edge
where they had been discarded.
The path up the side Of tho cliff
showed that the place had been used
for some time, apparently for tho pur-
pose of bringing IN whisky.
