HOW SORRY ARE YOU

We are all sorry for the misfor-
tunes Of our fellow men. At least
most of us say so. We would be
brutes not humans, could we look on
the misery that overtakes nations
communities and individuals, without
being touched and saddened by their
tragedies.
Granted that we are sorry, the
question is 'how sorry are WEI" Is
our emotion one of words-or deeds
1t is easy to say that we are sorry
but saying so proves nothing.
Some time ago in Christian com
munity gathering was held in mem
DRY of worthy citizen, who had been
killed in an accident, leaving his fam
lily penniless. After the drawing up
OF resolutions of sympathy from
friends and neighbors, a man rose to
his feet, who was regarded as the
town reprobate, one whom the neigh
borhood looked upon as most dis
reputable character. In answer to in
Quiring glances from those present he
announced loudly:-"I'm sorry fifty
dollars worth, how sorry are the rest
of you?" And this unseemly inter-
ruption started the meeting upon a
practical rather than a poetical trib-
ute to the dead.
How sorry are we for the sufferers
in Europe? How sorry are we for
the victims of sudden disaster? How
sorry are we for those who suffer in
our communities for want of instruc-
ton In hygiene, and knowledge Of the
prevention of disease? How Sorry
are we for the disabled soldiers and
the pitiful little orphans that some
body must care for?
The answer is, we are not sorry
simply because we say so. If we are
sorry, we shall either ourselves do
something to aid such sufferers and to
assuage misfortune, or we shall gen.
erously support the organizations that
are striving to do so. If there Is any
other organization that is doing more
than is the Red Cross to accomplish
such an end, then let us lend it
utmost aid. But if there is no other
doing work of equal magnitude, let
us intellectually support the Am
erican Red Cross, during the COM
ing year, that it may be enabled to
carry on" and need not cut of any
Of its activities in the vast field o:
human service, because we are not
really sorry.

are urged to demand the certificate If
the worker forgets to give it.
There is every reason to believe
that the 113 Chapters of the Red
Cross in Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, and Rhode ISL
and, with their Ills Branches, will
give splendid account Of themselves
in this Roll Call for 1921. With a
few exceptions they went into the
Roll Call better organized than year
ago, and with an enthusiasm more
akin to that of the emotional days of
the war. They have now a clearer
vision Of the vast Importance of the
peace-time service of the Red Cross
in the life of the nation.
Not all of the Chapters and Branch
es will carry on their Roll Call for
the entire two weeks set aside for the
purpose. Some will confine their eff
forts to few days, opening perhaps
on Armistice Day or the Monday fol-
lowing Roll Call Sunday, November
IA, and starting in season to reach
the climax of their appeal on Thanks
giving Day.
Several of the Chapters feel con-
fident they will exceed the member
ship secured year ago and they are
so effectively organized there is good
reason for their confidence.
New England has ranked high
among the Red Cross Divisions IN
membership and accomplishments and
her people will, it is believed, loyalty
continue their support of the Great
est Mother in the World"

HABIT OF UNHAPPlNESS, ag:

Most unhappy people have become SO
gradually, forming the habit of unhappi-
ness, complaining about the weather,
finding fault with their food, with crowd
ed cars, and with disagreeabIe compan-
ions or work. A habit of complaining, of
criticising, of fault finding, of grumbling
over trifles. the habit of looking for shad-
ows, is a most unfortunate habit to con-
tract, especially in early life, for after a
while the victim becomes a slave. All
the impulses become perverted, until the
tendency to pessimlsm and cynicism is
chronic. -Chauncey M. Depew.

FOURTH RED CROSS
ROLL CALL Will
GIRDLE THE EARTH
Annual Enrolment of Millions Of
Members Now in Progress = Or
ganization Rendering Even Greater
Service Than in War Period.

The American Red Cross, which is
today performing service of even
greater importance than it rendered
during the war period, opens it's
Fourth Roll Cali on Thursday, Novem
Der 11-Armistice Day-and will con-
tinue its mobilization of members for
1921 through November 25, Thanks
giving Day.
The Roll Call this year will girdle
the earth. Not only will every man
and woman in the United States be
given the opportunity to enroll or re-
new membership, but also Americans
in all outlying possessions and in
lands under other flags will be en-
abled to pledge their allegiance to
the Red Cross for another twelve
month period. Into practically every
corner Of the world, to places where
the Red Cross really is the only link
with the homeland, the appeal will be
carried.
Support of People Essential
In its national aspect the purpose
of the Roll Call is solely to maintain
and increase the present membership
of 100000, not including the Junior
Red Cross. There will be no appeal
for national fund in addition to what
accrues from the mem bership dues.
Primarily the American Red Cross
desires to have the American peo-
pie in its ranks; their moral support
is essential to the accomplishment of
it's tasks Many of the 1859 Chapters
will be able to continue their peace
time work and wartime obligations
with funds derived from membership
dues.
Other Chapters, however, must Sc
cure funds in varying amounts in ad-
dition to membership dues, or mate
rally curtail their work, particularly
those Chapters that are still carrying
heavy burden of service to the sol
diers and sailors and former service
men. The appeals of these Chapters
for such additional amounts as their
budgets require will be confined to
their local communities.
There is no national membership
quota set. Each Chapter and Branch
will endeavor to equal or exceed its
present enrolment, hoping to swing
the national total back to the TO-
100000 of the war period.
Certificate for Every Member
The most popular membership is the
one dollar annual membership, half
of which is retained by the local Chap
ter for itself and its Branches to be
used at home, the other half going
to National headquarters for national
and overseas work. The other mem
berships are the contributing member
ship of five dollars, four of which the
local Chapter retains, one dollar go
ing to National headquarters, and the
sustaining or ten dollar membership,
eight of which is retained for local
service, two going to National head
quarters. All $50 and 500 member
ships go to the endowment fund
Every man and woman who joins the
Red Cross for 1921 will receive, in
addition to the usual membership
button and window service flag, a
signed certificate of membership
which will serve also as receipt for
the dues paid. Every Roll Call work.
