PIGEONS TAKE
MAYORS MESSAGE
TO SAINT LOUIS

Two racing homing pigeons, bearing
a message of greeting from Mayor
McClanahan, of this city, to Governor
Russell, Of Missouri, were liberated
from Mayfield's drug store yesterday
morning at ten o'clock,
The pigeons circled above the city
for a minute or two and then took a
steady flight towards the northwest
in the direction of home.
The birds were sent to the local
Rexall Store from their home in st.
Louis, and when liberated they winged
their way back to the Missouri
metropolis.
Mayor McClanahan's message was
one of greeting to the Missouri exec
utive, and an expression Of hope fol-
victory for Democracy in the Novem-
Der elections.
A big crowd gathered at the May
field store to see the birds begin Their
long flight home, and throngs Of peo
pie saw them take to the air and ge
their bearings for the homewar,
flight.
This week the international Con
lvention of Rexall druggists is being
held in St. Louis and pigeons were re
leased yesterday from all Rexal

JUNIOR RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car.
penters' tools for CZecho- Slovakinn
crlpples-these are only a few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children Of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving a fresh start In life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and
Montenegro. and day schools Ia Al.
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, MontcnegrinS, and Albanans
to American colleges In ConstantlnOple
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or.
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula of Italy there are
nearly 800 wards Of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters OF
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months In warmer parts Of France.
At the same time FIVE thousand little
Belgians were having hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can
teens.
American school children have al
ready raised something like million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.

GOV. GARDNER ON
ADVERTISING

Once when Gov. Gardner was in

a young merchant who had built up
a splendid business there largely
thru newspaper advertising. Gov,
Gardner said to him:
You're on the right track, friend
and if you continue that policy and
carry the goods youll always have
the trade. This is an age when u
business concern can't afford to keep
out of the papers. Competition is
sharp ana if you let up while the
other fellow will run off with your
trade. You've found that out, and
that's why you have succeeded so
well. People read the newspapers
as much for what they buy as for
the news. | never heard of a fellow
going broke on judicious advertis-

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance OF the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion of the 10000
900 population Of the Balkan States
might have starved or perlshed from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth OF food, clothing and medi
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-RoumaniG, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia. Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning OF Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe.
while millions OF dollars worth OF food
alone has been sent to the needy In
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion OF Eu'
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages. dlspensaries. mobile nIedl
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction OF devastated areas Amer.
Ilcan tractors and other farming imple
ments have been sent to the agrlcul.
turaI regions where aid has been CIV
en- in plowlng the land.
BY the last OF this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad
mlnistering relief In Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, II
is believed, the people will have ap-
proached a normal state Of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped sci
up to provide for themselves.

RED CROSS
To Give RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
Ice is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs In rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnlcs, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues. community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan.
tage. In many Instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result OF community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest 10
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culatlng libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restroOms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs OF
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts Red Cross Rural Serv.
Ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object OF the
service is TO lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where ueces-
sary.

Giant Dredge In The River

With the arrival at Philadelphia on
Wednesday of the dredge Carasal, a
new era will be marked in the main
tenace of the Delaware river channel.
The dredge was acquired by the
Philadelphia District, United States
Engineering Department, thru an ex-
change of property from the Panama
canal zone. 1t was lowed to Hamp-
ton Roads by the naval collier Vulcan
and made the remainder of the jour-
ney under its own steam.
The Carasal was used in construc-
ton and maintenance of Culebra Cut
and is capable of moving 100 cubic
yards of material an hour. That is
nearly twice the capacity of any
dredge heretofore operated on main
tenance of the channel. 1t will be
used between Philadelphia and the
ocean,.
The Carasal will be the third dredge
operated on maintenance work be-
tween Philadelphia and the ocean.
The others are the Delaware and the
Manhattan.
H. Finn, assistant to Colonel B.
F. Ladue, chief engineer of the Phila-
delphia district, has described the
Carasal as the most efficient piece Of
machinery to be brought to Philadel-
phia for maintenance work. 1t is of
the bucket-ladder type and carries
material to the dump under its own
steam.
