DIREFUL PREDICTIONS
 THAT DID NOT HAPPEN

Man never is but always is to be blessed, walled pessimistic gentleman of a former day. But haven't you often noticed that ca1amitv after calamity is predicted which never happens? There was to be no labor to garner our har- vests this year. Labor turned out to be plentiful. Our export trade was to have dwind1ed to insignificant propor- ton long before this. The actual fig ures are enormous. When sugar was at g cents a pound, 1t was bound for 30 cents or 40 cents, we were confidently told. Rehneries are now quoting sugar around Is cents pound. A few weeks ago a coal famine assured1y was to prostrate America. More coal Is being mined and moved today than ever be- fore, and prices at the pitmouth are dropping The Bo1shevists a few weeks ago were on the eve of overrunning Poland and Germany and, indeed, half of Europe Most of the running they have since done has been towards Mos COW.

ELIMINATE CHEATING
 PITCHERS FROM GAME
Brainy Moundsman With Good
 Arm Can Get By.
Jesse TannehiIi, Former Red Sox SoUthpaw HurIer, Says Freak Pitching Should Be Barred
 Forever From Baseball.

Eliminate cheating pitchers from baseball and the game will not be any different than when I was with the Red Sox," declared Jess Tannehill, who was here with the Phillies as coach
 Ten pounds lighter than when he was with the Red Sox back in 1903 and 1904, Tannehill was in Boston for the first time in Il years. He is now forty-fve years old, feels as good as when he helped Jimmy Collins win the pennant in 1904.
 Although now but a coach, this for mer star southpaw, who also could hit the ball some in the old days, has many views about the game of today which are interesting. Having been a great pitcher, he knows many angles, and there is no doubt but that he is going to help Gavvy Cravath's pitch ing department.
 q think freak deliveries should have been barred from baseball be- fore this season. They have handi- capped the game considerable be- cause pitchers who go into the box
 
 powder in the other, along with vas cline or parafin on their pants are try ing to get by with such methods.
 Without such methods to help them, the pitchers in the future will have to be there, as we were in the old days. Al 'ity to pitch will have to be shown all the time and I am con- f1dent the game will be better.
 ''There is no doubt in my mind but that the freak pitchers of today can get along without their fxings. eff they have a good arm and are smart they can get by. So far I have not been able to work with a freak delivery pitcher, because the Phillies, do not boast of one. If there was one on the staff would help him to develop into real pitcher without the tricky stuff"

AMERICAN RED GROSS
 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 very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Ameri- can Red Cross. Almost all of the $500 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. Picnfcs, 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- tion, townships in which there had been neither plans nor interest in 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 we'll as cir culating libraries, Red Cross schools of instruction in Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. Tn 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 a hand everywhere and take the lead only where neces- sary. <

FIRST AID TRAINING
 TO MEN AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching Hundreds of Thousands Life-
 Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First Aid to the injured offered by the Amer ican 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 a 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 few min utes' delay may mean 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- taining the number of deaths or seri- ous disablements which result from lack of proper safeguards or prompt emergency treatment. It 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 immeasurably tighten the country's toll of suffering and death
 The dissemination of First Aid train ing and information has already pro- duced a farrea ching and beneficial in- f1uence in the prevention of accidents on railroads, in mines and in great in- dustrial concerns.
 The benefit of widespread knowI- edge of First Aid in the event of great disaster, such as 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 CD 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 req 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 chaDter headouarters

JUNIOR RED CROSS
 ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans. milk for anaemic Greek babies, car penters' tools for Czecho- Slovakian cripples-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 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 in Al. bania.
 They are sending dozens of young Syrtans, Montenegrins, and AIbanians to American colleges in Constantinople 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 500 wards of American Juniors
 Last winter a thousand French chil- dren from the inadequate shelters of the devasted regions were sent by the Junior Red Cross to spend the cold uouLuS IA WdFueF pdFIS or Ffanco. At the same time five thousand little BeIgians were having a hot lunch every day at Junior Red Cross school can teens.
 American school children have al- ready raised something like a million dollars for these enterprises. and they are still hard at work

A very odd trimming is seen on some of the new satin models. It is a bristly straw braid sewn to the frock in conventional design -ery much after the manner of old-fash- toned braiding. The effect is extreme Iy novel. By combining embroidery done in heavy black silk threads with this straw braid great elaboration is obtained.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
 RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,oO0, 900 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. It 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 900 American Red Cross workers are now engaged in relief ac- tivitfes 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 a cost for general relief of more than S1, ,OOO, 900. Last winter one-half mill lion war orphans were aided material 1y, and since then a series of large or phanages have been established to give them permanent care.
 But for American Red Cross aid, of ficials of Poland declared recently, mill lions of people in that country would have perished of disease, exposure or starvation the last eighteen months. And the work there must be kept up for another year.
