Philadelphia, was found in a drunk

BUSINESS MUST BOOM.

Don't forget that every household in this country, to say nothing of other countries, must have food, must have clothes, must have underwear, must ahve shoes, must have hats and hun dred other things. The need will con- tinue for houses for soa1, for trans portation, for amusement, for newspa- pers and periodicals, for light for te1e- phones, and in many cases for auto mobiles. Our agricultural population are likely to receive upwards of $25,- 000,000,000 this year for their products, and they are not niggardly spenders. We are still selling to other countries more than we buy from them, and gold is now coming into the country faster than it is leaving. The crippling of do- mestic trade through seriously made quate facilities will shortly be modified. One could enup1erate dozen-twenty- encouraging features of the present situation and the outlook. Therefore, the business man who allows himself to sink into the do1drums and to proceed on the theory that everything is going to come to a standstil1 is likely to find himself awkwardly situated by and by Forbes Magazine, ON.

USES FOR WORKOUT SHIRTS
Fathers Discarded Garments May Be Worked Over Into Aprons and
 Other Wearables.

Have fatEer's shirts become worn around the collars and the cuffs? If so, mother can cut them out around the neck, cut off the sleeves and make soft collar for the cut-out neck. Thus father is assured of relief from stiff collars and cuffs during his days of re- taxation. sz
 After father has had his last turn out of his old skirt, they are re1egated to mothers pafch-box. For a number of years mother has used the back and tails of the old shirts to make herself sewing aprons. These she makes after a pattern of a straight bib apron, with fitted pockets at the bottom. Such an apron is most use full for wear around the house.
 Mother used the best part of one of fathers madras shirts to make lit tie Josephine play hat. She made the brim double, finishing the edge with a buttonho1e scallop. These hats are readily laundered and always look good.
 Another figure madras shirt was cut into one-piece play apron with pock- cts for toys and each pocket had a lIt- tie animal embroidered in cross-stitch

To be without ambition is to be men,

To be without ambition is to be men, tally dead.
 But supreme care must be taken that our ambition is not such as to kill us morally and spiritually. Ambition may be likened to a spirited, speedy horse It can carry us over much ground quickly if we keep proper rein on it and guide it along the right road; but If given too much rein, 1t is in danger of landing us in the ditch.
 Once having selected a creditable, useful, worthwhile aim in life, then am bition can become invaluable in helping us to achieve that aim.
 First make sure you have mapped out worthy path, and then start full steam ahead and keep up full steam, permit ting no bumps or, boulders to thwart you in your course. An ounce of energeti- ca1ly-applied ambition is worth a whole headful of unused genius.
 Almost every one of Americas most notable enterprises are the fu1hlment of some dynamic, far-seeing mans ann bitions.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
 IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits community Ire, 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, 1,500 were injured, 13,OO0 were made homeless, about 8O,- 900 families needed help, the property loss was nearly $1OO,OOO,OOo and al- most $1, 100000 in relief funds, not in- cluding emergency supplies was ex- pended.
 To the sufferers from all disasters during the year, the American Red Cross sent $120,O00 worth of SUD- plies, no Red Cross nurses and seven special relief trains. To meet the needs of the stricken, the organization set up ten relief stations, operated thirty food canteens and as many emergency hospitals. One hundred and twenty-five Red Cross chapters gave disaster relief service.

FRANCE $ PERFUME INDUS
 TRY,

The rare perfumes of France suffered severely during the war, and only the industry and thrift of the French pre- vented them from dying out altogether. Cannes and Grasse, according to the Illustrated Wc1ld, are the centers of the French perfume industry, which is situated in Southern France along the Mediterranean. In that flower garden of the world" there is only one for mu1a used in making perfumes. It is very simple: the scents shall be unique and shall be produced Ill limited suan- tity; therefore tehy will be expensive Essence of rose, in the Riviera raw material market, is often quoted as high as eight hundred collars for tive and one-hfth pounds.
 The altar, or the essential oil, of flower is obtained by crushing the leaves or petals and boiling them in a hopper caldron. The residue from the boiled leaves and petals is mixed with clari- fled pork fat, and the mass is stirred with wooden paddles. Boiling the ex- tract with fat concentrates the perfume. After boiling, the grease is churned with refined alcohol until the latter ab- sorbs nearly all the odor. The residue of fat is. made into fine soaps that have a high commercial value.
 The old method, which is still prac- ticed, consists i'll saturating coarse linen or cotton cloth with olive oil and stretching 1t over a frame; thin layers of flower petals are then placed on the cloth until 1t has absorbed the essence of the flower The cloth is then treated to an alcohol bath that in turn absorbs the perfume. In this process the flower petals must be changed frequently.
 Grasse still uses the enfeurage meth cd, by which the delicate essences of the rarest flowers slowly filter through quarter-inch layer of fat in shallow pans. The process takes from 12 to 72 hours, depending on the variety of the blooms and the season of the year.

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 Tap, which came under our flag as a result of the world war. For the year 1920 this division reported 30,S08 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- pression of their citizenship. It 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, Nica- raguas 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 immeaSurable 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 giv- 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.

ARE YOU HEADED RIGHT?

Ambition can be friend or angel.
 It can ennoble or ruin.
 It can be blessing or a curse.
 Money can be put to high or base pur- poses. So can ambition.
 Every man above the level of animal has in him some ambition worthy or unworthy.
 Webster thus defines ambition "An eager, and sometimes an inordinate, de- sire for preferment, honor, superiority, power, or the attainment of something"
 The individual or the race without vigorous, impelling ambition stagnates, sinks and decays.
 Few there are in this country without some ambition
