What the Red Cross
Has Done For One
Soldiers Parents

The Red Cross, great in it's ser
vice in times of war. is no less active
in its labors in times of peace. When
the armistice was signed the activities
of the great organization did not
cease. Instead they were intensified
workers hunting out the Individual
cases where help was needed
An example of the untiring eff
orts OF the Red Cross service work
ers is to be had at home. in the case
Of Albert G. Anderson. of Quarry, an
overseas service man who came horne
n physical wreck. Leaving the army
the young man dropped his army in
surance OF $4,000. While in service
he had been stricken with influenza
and pneumonia and had spent weeks
In a hospital in France. He came back
broken man, never to enjoy an
other we'll day.
Shortly after returning to his home.
altho still weak and suffering from
the after effects of his long illness,
he resumed his work as a brakeman.
His period Of activity was short lived,
however. and he soon was compelled
to give up his work and finally went
to a hospital at Iowa City for treat
ment. Doctors had difficulty in dag
nosins his case and he became dis,
couraged. He returned home. again
returned to Iowa City once more. and
went back TO Iowa City for the third
time.
From the time the young soldier
returned home, Miss Lou Vogel. sec
rDfn ~ hn tra
bureau. Interested herself in his case
She urged him to reinstate his In
surance but argument and persuasion
failed. She corresponded with the
doctors in charge of the patient dur
ing his visits to Iowa City and learn
ed that the boys condition was criti-
cal
Anderson had been discharged 100
per cent disabled. His case was one
for immediate attention and when
the secretary's efforts to cause him
to reinstate his insurance failed, she
reinstated it for him. The Red Cross
thru Miss Vogel, secured for the boy
the protection to which he was en-
titled. The insurance became effec.
tive q month before his death last
March. His first check for disability
covered many months at $3.50 n
month and amounted to between $500
and $500.
Anderson died one year after his
discharge from the army and he
was buried on his birthday. The
government paid the little mother at
Quarry $4,000 on his death. But for
the intercession of the Red Cross the
soldier boys insurance would have
been lost.
This is but one Of the many in
stances OF the great work of the Red
Cross. 1t may be called tomorrow .to
aid you--a citiZen-just as 1t has aid
ed the soldier boy. 1t follows not only
the armies Of the world but goes in
the wake of pestilence, disaster and
misfortune to give aid, relief and
|. comfort.
Next week the annual Red Cross
drive will be inaugurated. You. should
be a part of this great organization.
See that you are enrolled.

Chief of Police Lage, Officer Cum

with a search warrant for gambling
paraphernalia and liquor, were sue
'cessful in gaining entrance to the
Pearson rooms before the evidence of
The poker game could be removed.
The police have visited the place be-
fore, it having long been under sus-
picion. but always failed to obtain
entrance, or gaining access only af-
ter all the gaming properties had
been put out OF sight.
The Pearson rooms are admirably
adapted for the purpose to which
they were put, It is necessary to pass

doors, before entering the room

some chance the doors were open

At the Strand.

Lionel Barrymore in 1.-The Master
Mind" at the Strand, gives a DEM
onstration of how far one superior
designing mind can go toward chang
ing whole groups of lives. The theme
of the story is the rare patience and
elaboration Of human mind bent on
outwitting fate and dominating other
personalities. Mr.. Barrymore takes
the part of a brilliant psychologist,
who, thru the impulse of revenge. is
inspired to the use of his superior
mental faculties to ruin a district at
torney who had conducted the prose-
cution which sent his brother to the
electric chair on the charge of muir
der.
The picture is dramatic thruout and
keeps the interest and suspense to the
end. The role is exceptionally good
for Mr.. Barrymore's personality and
he handles the situation well. Con
sidering the strength of his charac ter
thru the story. however, the end is
weak. Gypsy O'Brien plays opposite
him and is attractive in the part.
