JUNIOR RED CROSS DOlNGS

The Berea Red Cross chapter de.
cided that for its work in the schools
and among the juniors it would or
ganize the modern Health Crusade.
This has been established and con-
sistently carried out in eleven rooms
of the Public School and Training
School in Berea and in six country
schools in the chapter. 1t is report
ed universally that much good is be-
ing done by this crusade. Mayor
Gay commends it very highly because
of the good results with his own chill
dren and others have given similar
testimonies.
The teachers generally have been
very enthusiastic about the work, es-
pecially have they been pleased with
the willingness with which the chill
dren have done the chores. Miss
Edith Tut Of the Todd school gives
a thrilling report of what has been
done there. She describes the activi-
ties Of the pupils before the crusade
was begun as being boisterous and
even rough and, after the manner Of
many school children, they engaged
in pitched battles and she says that
sometimes they went home bloody.
This is not to be interpreted as mere
ly that the school was extremely
bad, but came about largely because
Of the undirected outlet Of childish
energy. She says that when the
health crusade was begun there was
complete change in the children's
behavior. In addition to the regular
ly required chores, Miss Tut added
politeness to fellow students, keeping
their clothes clean and the floor un-
der their desks clear Of paper and
mud and being cheerful helpers at
home and in school. Also in add.
tion to the buttons and badges given
regularly, Miss Tut offered from her
own purse a prize of five dollars in
gold to the knight or maid of honor
who should make the best record dur
ing the school term. The girl who
won the five dollars was not by any
means the best Of them at the begin
ming Of school, but the stimulation of
the crusade led her TO surpass her
fellow-pupils.
The Junior Red Cross in the school
at Bobtown bought Christmas pres
ents for poor children In their own
community, giving them especially
useful things such as stockings and
perhaps shoes-things they needed
to keep them in school. This Is
carrying out the spirit Of the Red
Cross and training future citizens to
be thoughtful Of the needs Of their
more unfortunate neighbors.
The seventh and eighth grades Of
the Training school have contributed
$40 for the relief Of the starving
children overseas. The third and
fourth grades contributed $3.50 TO
help in a diphtheria case in q needy
family in our own community. The
fifth and sixth grades responded to
an appeal for money TO buy shoes
for a child who was without them.
The Public School contributed
$S.7S for the relief Of the starving
overseas.
Both the Training School and the
Public School are deeply interested
in the work Of raising money for
the assistance Of the Children's Home
Society. Madison county's quota is
5000 in this drive, to be raised
among the school children. It is a
very worthy cause and Beres is sure

She knows that policy Of restric-

Such a policy has long been in oper-

men are said to be members of a band

bauy, Syracuse and Buffalo.
Simultaneous with the arrests here,
a man and woman were taken into Gus
tody by the Cleveland police. The
names of the five prisoners were with
held by Assistant District Attorney
Louis D. Schwartz, who said the mas
ter mind of the conspiracy was being
traced by the federal agents and that
his arrest was momentarily expected.
This band, Mr.. Schwartz asserted.
worked i'll novel way. One of them
would obtain a position at "a drug
store soda fountain having easy ac-
cess to postal sub-station. The next
step consisted in stealing a pad of
money orders and an official postal
stamp. The blanks and the stamp
would then be mailed to a confeder-
ate in another city. BY supplying
members of the band with a large
number of blanks, money orders, ap-
parently genuine, began to flood the
