have no business with such silly things
 as nerves.
 Another Returned Soldier
 Now, this is the organization for | me" he beamed "One that helps in |
 war and disaster and gets busy with ! health centers in time of peace. Say. |
 my two kiddies are going to belong to | the Red Cross as long as they live. l Can I have some of these pamphlets
 to take home to the little wife2 She l couldn't come because our youngest arrived last week. Say, you know you l Red Cross nurses looked just like sure enough angels in the hospitals over
 there, All the boys fell in love with
 every nurse and got all fused up won-
 dering how they could square them
 selves with each one" and he laugheo the hearty laugh of the man who has seen life and danger and Is still sane.
 q never knew a nurse who wash
 willing to be loved by any number of
 theboys," said the nurse in charge Of
 the exhibit that day. Just being loved
 by the boys was all they wanted to
 make their work a joy" 'I guess that's right" smiled tile big father of two coming Americans. He gathered
 LID a choice collection of Child Care
 literature and wanted to pay his an
 nuaI dollar at once. He was directed
 
 of his own chapter. He wore an
 American Legion button and if the
 government was rotten he didn't seem to know it. And he had lost more than any number of horses, for one sleeve
 was empty.
 The American Bolshevik
 He was a returneu soldier, appar- [ ently sound in wind and limb, but, sad to relate, his mind was badly ,, warped. ''Oh, the Red Cross is all
 right I suppose" he grudgingly ad-
 mitted. "but these government books of twaddle make me sick. This gov
 ernment's rotten. Look at what it did
 to the boys-took 'em over to France . an treated 'em like dogs. They sure
 got a dirty deal. was twenty-nlne , when I went in, an had nice big : tract of land and nice herd of cattle !. and about ninety fine horses. l went |, through hell over there, and what did ' find when I got home? I found all \ my horses stolen, that's what found,
 because I hadn't enough land to run
 'em on. And I lost several thousand 4 dollars besides, too, because my cattle d business all went to pieces. I'm out q for myself now. and don't you forget |, if. No, I don't belong to the American t Legion and ain't going to. It's sissy IT stuff" There was a returned army p nurse who had served three years 1T d Italy listening to his tirade, and snt . gently tried to show him how biasec 4 was his view. Why" she said, WI o of the American Legion feel that w Ia are part of this government and if WI n do not like everything about it w "a have power to change it.' Yes, vol
 have" he sneered. "Only you hav'
 not. You haven't got any power a
 all. Why pretty nearly every one O r- the bovs came home broke. You knov x. that. don't you?" The nurse admitted II that she knew it from experiences " her own, but she admitted it with le smile. I'm done with benevolent or m ganizatfons Red Cross and all--an' IS the Red Cross was good to the boys a l. that. My motto now is, git all you cal Il. and cun all you git and just keel " right on a gittin' and let the othe Do fellow do his fightin.' This govern ,e nent is rotten" But if you thinl 10 vou got such a raw deal, don't yo sy think you should pull with the othe to bows to make it so your sons will ge ly a better one" asked the nurse. "Nt w I don't, because a poor man cant q re nothin'" and he walked away. h. poor man can make trouble for him SC self and others" said the nurse, saoi. ID The Mexican Mothers
 CT There were six of them and the ,n were the proud possessors. of Red Cros Id certificates In Home Hygiene an al Care of the Sick. They gave of thel m time and knowledge to demonstra' re what they had learned to a double ro' re of spectators gathered in the Amer ne icanization room. Without a trace n- embarrassment, without any hesits re tion, they made the bed, put the ps ny tient to bed, turned the patien sst changed the sheets, set the patient ! " in bed. etc. That the bed was dol 'or bed and the patient doll about U me size of a newborn infant did not o em tract from the interest of the ol 'ol. lockers. After the demonstration tn to came in to look at the Red Cross e Ter hibit and remove their white apro em and head dresses which they donn
 a SO proudly. The demonstration W ds. an unqualified success. The Mexlc' tie mothers asked many intelligent que en- tions and gave the Red Cross nurs yh- a most enjoyable half hour Also. tn ley did not neglect to carry off all | pod good literature obtainable, in Do lin, F,npIish and Spanish.
