RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross is carrying
on a wide program Of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare Of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section In his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent house at all Of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are we'll enough to be up
and around Parties and picture shows
in the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cence comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War Fisk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
trict offices the Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing
The Red Cross agents find men "lost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and In some In
stances living clubs, so these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must 90 with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Nd,
more than half of all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. AS result it is
putting forth well trained men equip
ned to meet the social, civic and eco.
nomic requirements of their respective
communities.

His Wish.

Ted does not like to go to Sunday
school, but his father makes him at.
tend regularly. And usually his at
tention to the lesson Is very poor as q
result. His teacher Is one of the vari-
ETY. noted for long talks, and this
does not add to the interest for Ted.
The lesson was a missionary one.
The teacher ended her talk with !
"Now, we must all send all the money
we can to Africa to convert those
heather. The way they are now they
actually eat their Sunday school
teachers"
The goody-goody boy spoke up. u
wish I had lot Of money so could
send 1t to the heathen," he longed.
The teacher looked expectantly al
the others. They also should feel as
jealous, but If they did none Of then
expressed it. She decided to encour
age them. She looked smilingly al
Ted. "And what do you wish, little
boy?" she asked.
1t was now past closing time ant
Ted knew he would miss meeting the
other boys to go to the towpath. Saw
agely he made answer: II just wish
was a heather. "-Indianapolis News.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK.
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" 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
ganization, 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
30,808 paid up members.
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
Rica, 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 Red 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.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado--the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average of four disasters
"a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois,
In these events Of horror $50 per
sons were killed, 1000 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $100,000,000 and al
most s1,OO0,O0O in relief funds, not In
GLIDING emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup
plies, ITO Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set I'D ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strikes this town OF
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right OF
hand to help them In every way.

Infinite Variety at Geneva.

Those who had the rare pleasure Of
looking in on plenary session Of the
international woman's conference at
Geneva were. in a few instances, un-
convinced that out Of such a variey
gated group unity Of action and opin-
ion could be possible, writes Alice La
Maziere in Figaro. There were dele
gates from all parts of the world
blonde and heavy Scandinavians, 'ro-
bust and energetic Americans, frail
and brunette Spaniards, Italianc and
Greeks, expressionless and saffroS-
colored Japanese and Hindus in over
embroidered gowns And there were
Frenchwomen despite the fact that
though France has marched at the
head of so many movements Of eman-
cipation, 1t will be a long while be-
fore she enfranchises her daughters.
And we must not forget the delegate
from Iceland, who journeyed for 30
days to be with us and came dressed
In festival costume.
But Lady Astor, our good colleague
from England, was the charm and
grace Of the conference. What win
come Of 1t all? Notwithstanding the
opposition the women are meeting In
certain countries-Spain, Italy, Swift
zerland, Turkey. France-the day is
not far distant when we will act as
a body in moral, political, educational
and domestic questions. And our voice
shall be heard when the specter Of
war threatens to arise.

WARMING to Airmen Who Smoke.

An airman who drops lighted pipe
from his plane is responsible for any
damage his pipe may cause. This
was decided at a moot, or discussion,
in Gray's Inn hall, London, recently,
at which Justice Darling presided.
Mr.. Justice Darling, in the course Of
his Judgment, said that for an airman
to take a lighted pipe and smoke it
when flying at a point where If 1t
fell It would fall by gravitation to the
earth instead of to the moon, to allow
1t to fall or not to prevent 1t to fall
that was in itself prima facie negli-
gence. If the pipe fell to earth and
set fire to haystack or did any other
damage, the person injured was en-
titled to an action to recover damages
for negligence.-Brooklyn Eagle.

His Last Effort.

VIII Irving, who talked In Cleveland
recently, related story that was new
to his hearers.
1t concerned colored soldier who
was on his way home from France.
The voyage was a rough one and the
colored lad was badly banged about.
He was sick and sore and discour-
aged.

Aid for Spanish Red Cross.

The Iberian chapter of the American
Red Cross, composed of Americans
resident in Spain, has just contributed
$3.50 to a fund being raised by the
Spanish Red Cross and the League of
Red Cross Societies for the purpose OF
fighting malaria.

MO OTHER president, with the ex-
~ ception Of John Quincy Adams,
has served the country as long as
James Monroe and, without exception,
none has had an official experience
so varied.
From 177G, when he was vigorous,
six-foot, broad shouldcred, raw-boned
boy of eighteen, and left William and
Mary's college to enter the Revolu-
ton, Monroe remained In the public
service until 1925, when he retired
from the White House n wrinkled,
care bent, impoverished old man. In
those 40 years, he had been minor
military officer under Washington; re-
peatcdly a member Of the legislature,
member of the Continental congress
and Of the national senate; twice gov
ernor of Virginia; minister to France,
England and Spain; secretary of state
and war at the same time and finally
president for two terms.
Without wealth or family influence
with a slow, commonplace mind, with
no gifts as speaker; with modest
awkward presence and plain, unpol-
ished manners, this very ordinary man
plodded up the ladder Of ambition to
Its topmost rung. How2 By sheer
force Of his rugged, courageous, In

dustrious, honest, loyal character-a
triumph Of the homely virtues.
Although he failed In some Of his
most important tasks, Monroe's fail
ures were forgiven because they were
honest mistakes The ridicule and the
disgrace brought upon him by the most
spectacular episode Of his undramatic
life would have buried forever a man
more brilliant and less sincere.
This remarkable scene was enacted
on the highly theatrical stage of the
national convention at Paris directly
after the Reign Of Terror and the fall
of Robespierre, when France was the
outcast among nations. At that mo-
mcnt, Monroe appeared as the envoy
of the only sister republic and, to lei
all the world see that the Revolution
had at least one friend left on earth,
the president of the convention melo-
dramatically folded the rustic Virgin
ian in his arms.
After two years, he was recalled for
his zeal, and came home in rage Of
indignation. Passing by the gate of
Mount Vernon without paying his re
spccts to Washington, he paid them
instead in 800 pages which he pub
lishcd in defense Of himself and In de-
nunciatiOn Of the administration. Nev-

There are more boys going to

| all the grades have more boys.
The first grades boast record of
twenty-five boys against thirteen
girls. In previous years the girls
have always led. Keep it up boys,
YOU are doing splendidly.
A party for the juniors and
seniors was held Friday evening
at the home Of Mr.. Nichols, our
principal. Games were played,
after which refreshments were
served. Singing then followed UNI
it'll the party broke up at about
eleven O'Clock. All present en-
joyed very pleasant evening
The eighth grade has moved up

among its members, he succeeded in
reconcilng to his administration the
most divergent elements. In his de-
sire for harmony, he would also have
included Henry Clay and Andrew
Jackson, but they declined.
One day the British minister glared
across the White House dinner table
and shouted to the French minister:
"Are you biting your nails at me,
sir2" The Frcnchman responded
by drawing his sword, and the two
diplomats rushed at each other. But
as they We're about to clash the pres
ldent drew his own sword between
them and stopped the fight.
That little incident gives us pic
ture of the spirit of Monroe and his
administration. While he was in the
White House, men and factions had
to leave their Quarrels at the door.
The quiet, modest president was not
80 successful in keeping the peace
among the women of the official cir
Gle, and their disputes over social rank
and precedence brewed many squalls.
Although Jim Monroe, as he was
familiarly called, was the last presi-
dent to cling to the ancient knee
breecheS, cOckade and sword he was
MS plain and easy as an old shoe.
When newly arrived European
diplomat saw n bald-headcd, wntcry-
eyed man in a striped secrSuCker
coat, dirty waistcoat spotted with
Ink and with slippers down Mt the
heel writing at a White House desk,
he wondered that the president
would have such a slOvenly clerk I'M
I'll he was dumfounded to hnd that
he was In the presence Of the president
himself.
In the six years that remained to
Monroe after retiring from the presi-
dency, he set himself, as an eX-prcsi-
dent, n high standard OF conduct
Having received the supreme honor
ut the hands of all the people, he felt
that his name belonged to them and
he refused to lend 1t to any candidate
or any party.
Feeble and alone after the death
Of his wife, Monroe sold Oak HILL

months of his life. With the feeling
OF an exile, the last Of the Virginlans

TENDER 16, in Tacoma on business.
Mr.. Godfrey has given up his
job of driving bus and the pupils
from Paradise Valley and Maury
Island are being transportated by
the Taylor and Middling busses.
The freshmen will be initiated
by the sophomores next Friday
evening.
The high school has started
rugby foot ball this year There
was some discussion as to whether
soccer or rugby should be played,
but the latter was decided upon.
Burton has material for a first
class foot ball team, and though
it will be rather light we expect
to give Vashon High a good game
Iif they decide to indulge in the
manly sport. Practice will begin
as soon as the weather permits.
Thursday the girls held a meet
| ing to form an athletic association.
A track meet will e held in which
the chief events will be running,
balancing, low hurdles and other
races, and some jumping. The pur-
lpose of this work is to keep up the
health and spirits Of the girls, and
we feel sure that their studies will
benefit by the fresh air and eXer-
else.
The boys are afraid the girls
will out do them in athletics, so
they are practicing very earnestly
with their pole voting, putting
the shot, and running and jump
ing.
! The freshmen favored the rest
of the school with the song
" America Monday morning, and
I by the applause which they re-
ceivcd, esecially from the sophie
mores, it is evident that they
made a hit"
Martha Christman, a graduate
of last year, visited school Mon
