RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than S5,000000 has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions of men and
women In that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of "The
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief ac-
tivities in Poland. -Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
tablishment of a million refugees at
cost for general relief of more than
81, 0OO,0O Last winter one-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then series of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
fcials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have persisted Of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Eethods.

The purpose Of instruction In First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
a precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured a few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such case person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not only to the in
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There is perhaps no way Of ascer-
tanning the number of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced a farreaching and beneficial in
fuence in the prevention of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great In
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of a widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid in the event of
great disaster, such as a train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, ETC., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
~ the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for in
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2) the Introduction Of
courses of instruction in high schools
and colleges
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices
Every person in this country able to
do so should, in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
| Information about the course and in
| struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Prosperity Made to Flow Into Any Locality by Construction of Sub
 stantiaI Highways.

The way to make prosperity flow into. any locality is to build roads that will last and not have to be done over every few years.
 With good roads farmers can deliver all their products directly to towns within a radius of 90 or more miles, and by making more profit themselves they reduce the high cost of living for other people; for merchants are able to take. advantage of new sources of supply to- buy their stocks under favorable con- ditions, and sell them to their customs CTS at lower price.
 Millions of dollars are lost every year through perishable goods spelling on the railroads because of freight delays and complications, writes c. w. Morrison in Farm Journal. Singla large firms have actually saved morg

 REACHED TIE PEAK
RELIEF WILL NOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL. PRESENT STOCKS
 ARE SOLD.
PUBLIC LARGELY TO BLAME
Reports Do Not Give Encouragement Concerning Price Reductions In Shoes-Wholesalers Discourage
 Heavy Fall Orders.

Washington. - Nationwide reports from Federal Reserve bank officials made public disclose their opinion that the post war era of "extrava- gance and reckless buying by the public is nearing it's end.
 "A hesitation, if not an actual re- cession," of prices is noted and the Federal Reserve Boards statement summarizes its advices as indicating a generally more hopeful view of the countrys business condition than for several months.
 While the price changes were shown by the board not to be univer sal they were regarded as positive and of importance as a basls for re checking what the immediate future holds
 Relief from the high prices for the consumer will not be com fetely obtained until present stocks ,sre ab- scorbed in practically all lines, ac- cording to the. boards view Manu- lecturers everywhere, however, were shown to hold the view that the peak of high prices has been reached and to expect a gradual recession.
 In the clothing trade particularly the board said there was marked tendency of the public to make old supplies last longer and to refuse to pay exorbitant prices. This phase can mean only that an awakening has come, the statement said, and that many people have arrived at the con clusion that they themselves are re sponsible for continuing high range of prices.
 Wholesalers in the dry goods trade, to some extent, have taken "a com mandatory attitude" and are discour- aging their customers from placing heavy fall orders. That has served to slacken demand and create a feel ing that lower prices will follow.
 The reports do not give encourage ment concerning price reduction in shoes. There was, however, wide divergence of opinion as to what shoe and leather prices will do.

OLD SHAKESPEARE IS FOUND
Fragment of Passionate Pilgrim" Be- Iieved Earlier Than Any
 Other Issue.

London.-Sotheby's will sell at aue- tion volume which rivals in rarity the tiny book which G. D. Smith of New York bought for f15, 100 from the Britwell Court library last December. That sold from the Britwell library comprised Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis," fourth edition 1899, of which only one copy is known; Shakespeare's Passionate Pilgrim" and "Sonnets," first edition, 1899, of which only one otker copy was then known, and "Epi- grammes and Elegies," by Sir John Davis and Christopher Marlowe.
 The contents of the newly discov- cred volume are Shakespeare's 'Pas- sionate Pilgrim. and "Sonnets,' first edition, 1899; Shakespeare's 'Lu- crece," third edition, 1600, of which only one other copy is known; Thomas Middleton's "Ghost of Lucrece," 1900, unique and hitherto unknown work l; "Emaricdulfe," by F. O., an author never identified, 1895, and Shake spreare's "Venus and Adonis," fifth edition, issued in 1899, the same year as the fourth edition.
 The Passionate Pilgrim" and "Son- nets' is a fragment containing q large portion of the work. Its twenty-seven leaves out of thirty-four are, moreover. made up of two issues, one of which is the issue offered at the Britweli Court sale, but the other issue from which the piece is made up is one hitherto unknown. It contains mis- prints which in the Britwell Court ex- ample are corrected. Consequently the claim of the latter to be the first edition is, in the words of the cata- logue of the new find, rendered doubt ful.
 The new volume was discovered by Richard Francis Burton at his home, Longner Hall, near Shrewsbury.

MORE REFORMATION ASKED
arounents Against Retention of the Turks in constantinopIe Are Strong CT and Contain Elements 1t Would
 Be impossible To Ignore.

Washington. - Vigorous expression of President Wilson's opinion that the often-expressed intention of the allies utbat the anomaly of the Turks in Flu rone should cease" should be carried out in framing the Turkish treaty, characterized the American rejoinder to the allied note transmitting infor- nation On the status of treaty nego- tiations
 While the strength of arguments for retention of the Turks in Constantine ple was recognized, teh note said, the Ameriacn government believes that "tbe arguments against II are far stronger and contain certain impera- tive elements which it would not seem possible to ignore"
 The American note was handed to the French ambassador here March "A for transmission to Premier Millerlnd and made public by the State Depart ment on adyices that it had been de. livered.
 President Wilson, it says, "does not deem IL duYiSdUlC III luS pISSGul GIT cumstanees" that the United States should be represented at the confer. ences as suggested by the allied com. munication He feels, however, that "as this government is yitaily inter. ested in world peace, It snouId frank. ly express its views on the proposed solutions of the questions connected, with the Turkish treaty.
 Comment on some territorial phases and on the whole economic program of the proposals as to the treaty was deferred pending more complete in. formation on objects sought. The note said. however, that it is the un- derstanding of the government of the United States that whatever territo- rial changes or arrangements may be made in the former Ottoman empire, such changes or arrangements will in no way place American citizens or corporations or the citizens or corpo rations of any other country in less favorable situation than the citizens or corporations of any power party to the treaty.

To both city man and farmer the. good road means release from boDd~ age. Counties and states where good roads have become part of pro- gressive program of legislation haye seen values rise, and this again has brought home the fact that good roads pay for themselves. More important to the city dweller, however. is the fact that eventually good roads will prove the solution of the high cost of living problem.

 It is also anticipated that the pro- vision of the new law which permits lump-sum payments, at the option of the insured on converted policies, (or- dinary life, twenty-payment life, thir- ty-payment life, 20-year endowment, 30-year endowment. and endowment at age sixty-two) will greatly increase the number of conversions into the permanent form of government life insurance
