Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members OF the American
Red Cross are those citizens OF the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division OF the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division. which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper: that Is. Alaska.
Porto Rico. Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam. and even the Is
land of zap. which came under our
flag as a result Of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
S0,S0S paid up members.
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate In the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex
preston Of their citizenship. 1t Ia an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters or
this division In Argentine. Bolivia.
Brazil. Canal zone. Chile. China. Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic.
Ecuador, England, France, Guam
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras.
Japan, Manchuria. Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru. Philippines.
Porto Rico. Siberia, Spain, Sweden.
Switzerland. Syria, Turkey, Uruguay.
Venezuela and Virgin Islands
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions In money, and millions
Of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families OF those
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
Unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division Is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit Of sailors In the American Mer-
chant Marine. making plans to aid
Americans In trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief In case
Of disaster.
II Is the Fourteenth Divisions part

JUST THE THING FOR PRINCE
Conditions Being in Europe What

cidedly Good Idea

I assisted the other day at what
may prove to be the springs and origin
of the next great international mar
riage. The press agent for an organi-
zation which deals in philanthropy for
Europe was talking:
Il want to bring Prince Doalotski
over here next year. said he Il think
| can marry him to some nice Ameri-
can girl
'"Thatll be nice" I said Especially
for the prince"
"That's right" said the press agent,
seriously. "There isn't a royal family
in Europe that is open to him just
now. He could not get into some of
them-he amt such much of Il
prince, you know-2nd it would not
pay him to marry into some of the
others. They have no money or thrones
or palaces or anything left
$50 you think it would he a good
idea for him to marry into some we'll
to-do factory family over here?"
"Sure," said the press agent.-New

Hermit of The TyrO . Comes to Kingman

Coming to town the first time in two years John Sullin, an old time des- ert miner, told the editor that he had not seen troop train nor soldier during the war. He was holding down the watchman's job on the Tyro mine, to the northwest of Union Pass, about nine miles from the old station. He had not tarried with the barber dur ing the two years and his white hair hung down over his shoulders, giving him the appearance of a hermit. He says that he will make application to either Charley Chaplin or Bill Hart for a position in the movies, and he sure would make good. Sullin was first known to the writer in the eigh- ties, and during the past forty years he has been mining and prospecting over the desert country. While his hair and beard are gray he is as lively as a man far younger.

 It used to be the notion that the only essential equipment needed by a person who proposed to devote his lfe to the church was "eall." On the other hand. the modern mission worker knows that, while devotion to duty is an absolutely indispensable requisite, it must be supplemented by highly specialized training. As musA executive equipment h required, 1t is commented, to direct a congregation as to direct business, for the sue csssful clergyman must know modern Ike in all its many sided phases quite as we'll as Biblical history.
