FRENCH PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK

Lauding the work accomplished by
American philanthropy for war
stricken France, Andre Tardieu, form
er high commissioner from that ma
ton to the United States, in recent
article widely commented on through
out the French press, says:
1.-THE American Red Cross has &C
complished a work which calls for
the heartfelt gratitude Of every true
Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief
organization spent In behalf Of France
nearly 100000 francs, and IN 1919
Its expenditures on charitable projects
in our country attained the tremen-
dous total of 171,O0O,O00. It has re-
GENTLY turned over to the French relief
organizations huge stocks Of sup
plies whose value must be counted In
the hundreds Of thousands Of francs
.Fifteen million American boys and
girls, banded together in the Junior
Red Cross Of America, are back Of a
movement to establish the closest ties
between themselves and Frances
younger generation through the char
table works they have financed, and
are now carrying out among our little
war sufferers.

France and America Is cemented with
mutual admiration, relpect and graft

AUSTRIAN ARMY DRAWS FEW
Little Response in Vienna
Centers. --.-

Vienna, Austria. -Austria is trying
to organize an army to succeed the
volkswehr under the provisions of the
bill hurriedly passed during the panic
that followed the German revolution.
It is to be composed Of 10000 men.
The treaty prohibits any aviation
force.
The conservatives won their point
in securing the ALLEGATION of recruiting
in the provinces on population ba-
sis and in provisions prohibiting polit-
ical activity by the military forces.
These provincial units are to be gar
risoned within the province itself. No
man may be foisted upon unit In a
province in which he was not recruit
ed without the consent Of the province
itself, and the men must be bona fide
citizens Of their province. On the one
hand will be an army Of peasant lads,
and on the other Of industrial classes
from the manufac curing centers.
In spite Of the active efforts Of the
Socialists to spur recruiting, few men
have applied for enlistment in Vienna
or the other Industrial centers, while
reports from the provinces are even
more discouraging.

PAUL AND SATURDAY. AUGUST
HIS NAME WAS BIBLE
So Judge Thought He Could Take
Chance on Him.
Almost Lost Confidence in Human
Nature When ParoIed Prisoner
Showed Up. -.

Tulsa, Okla.-Because his last
name sounded all right, Judge Maxey
of this city released Lewis Bible on
his own recognizance when he was
arraigned on the charge Of passing a
bad check. ~.
"Your name," said the Judge,
sounds all right. I'm betting that
you will come back on the day set
for your trial."
The day came, and the hour-9
O'Clock in the forenoon-and no Bible
put in an appearance. The witnesses
were there, both for the state and
the defense. They had not seen Bible
since the day he was released.
''This is one time you have made a
mistake" observed the county attor-
ney to Judge Maxey. The Judge shook
his head.
Ellis name is all right" he con-
tended, ."and he looked all right to
me. But I may have been mistaken"
At $50 the witnesses were dis
charged and the case set over to an
other day. Judge Maxey ordered that
the sheriff be sent to him; he would
have Lewis Bible apprehended.
Ten o'clock came and a man on
crutches hobbled into the court room.
He was Lewis Bible, with--one leg
done up in splints and bandages.
II got here as soon as could:
judge he said.
Then he explained that after his re-
lease he went to Cometa and went to
work. His leg was broken the first
day, and he had been in bed ever
since. A friend in Cometa volunteered
to take him to court, to answer the
charge against him. but his automo-
bile baked and he did not reach the
court house in time. Later it devel-
oped that Bible had not passed bad
check.
"You have restored my confidence
in human nature and my ability to
read it," said Judge Maxey as he dis
charged Lewis Bible.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, food, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people, Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
( 600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1O0,O0O,000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not In
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup
plies, 40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs OF the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service. :
II disaster ever strikes this town o.
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right OF
hand to help them in every way.

KEEPING CANDY PURE
Agricultural Department Tries to
Protect Public.
Must Carry Label That Tells the
Truth. Manufacturers Are
. go Told.

: Candy in Interstate commerce, the
United States department of agricul-
ture tells the manufacturers, must be
pure, and must carry label that tells
the truth. The box or container that
goes to the consumer should bear
conspicuous label showing the net
: weight. When the candy is put up
under the name of the wholesaler or
jobber, the name appearing On the label
should be preceded by manufactured
for" or some such words, so that the
purchaser may know that the name, is
not that Of the manufa cturer. Mixed
candies labeled fruit flavors" are mis-
branded if any artificial fruit favors
are used. The word maple or even
the picture of maple leaf must not
appear on the label of CONNECTIONS in
which no maple sugar or strip is used.
A false or misleading statement ap-
pearing on the label is not cured by
correct statement somewhere else on
the label.
On the question Of purity, harmless
colors that do not conceal inferiority
are permitted. The use of shellac and
other gums for coating is prohibited.
The department holds that, saccharin
is injurious to health and it's use in
candy is prohibited. Tale, terra alba,
barytes, chrome yellow, alcohol, mar
cotic drugs and mineral substances Of
all kinds are specifically forbidden in
confectionery by the terms of the law.
The use of cocoa dust in the manufac-
ture of chocolate goods is held to be
Objectionable. A harmless mineral oil
may be used as slab dressing if used
in such way that little or none of the
oil is incorporated in the finished
candy. Any Of the decisions or opin-
ions relating to the application of the
federal food and drugs act to confec
tionery may be obtained upon request
from the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture.

TRADEMARKS

Americans Start Operations in
South America to Pro-

REMEDY is pointed OUT
Manufacturers Should Register Their
Trademarks With the Government
One Concern Paid $4,000 to
Recover Trademark. -.

Buenos Aires.-Dispatches from the
United States stating that the Ameri-
= can Manufacturers Export association
had launched a fight against "trade-
mark" pirates in various foreign coun-
tries, including Argentina, were read
with Interest by the American business
colony here, which is aware Of fire.
quent instances Of this sort of bust
ness meanness.
Americans are far from holding Ar
gentina alone guilty of the practice,
for the stealing Of trademarks has
been done here even by Americans
from their own countrymen, it is said,
as well as by Europeans from Amer
leans.
Remedy Pointed Out.
The remedy against it, business men
say, is for the American manufacturer
to register his trademark with the gov
eminent without delay, otherwise
when he attempts to enter this market
he may find that some unknown indi-
vi1ual or competitor in the same line
Of goods has anticipated him.
1t is not necessary in Argentina for
the person who registers a trademark
to be the actual manufacturer Of the
goods. That is, anybody can register
trademark, first come, first served.
Once registered, the mark can, Of
course, be used by no one else, and if
it has been pirated, the rightful owner
either has to sell his products under a
new trademark or buy off the pirate.
It is known in the office of the Unit
ed States commercial attache that
$4,000 was paid by one American con-
Germ to recover it's trademark from a
pirate.
There are reported to be certain in
dividuals who almost make business
of appropriating trademarks Of foreign
concerns in order to extort price for
surrendering them to the owner. They
watch particularly for advertising in
newspapers and magazines Of foreign
concerns whose products they Judge
are likely to find a market in Argen-
tina; If they find a likely trademark
not registered, they see that it is done
In tsseir own names and then wait.
Trademarks Need Renewal.
They also watch for the expiration
of trademarks-the period is ten years.
There are known to be instances in
which concerns have thus left their
trademarks to pirate as the result of
neglecting to have them renewed.
Argentina has yet failed to ratify
the pan-American trademark conven-
ton, under which central agency for
the ten southern republics Of Amer
lea would be established in Rio ia
metro for the registration Of trade
marks. A trademark registered there
will be good in all other South Amer
lean countries signatory to the con-
vention and will save time, expense
and trouble. The Argentine admins
tration is known to be anxious to have
the treaty ratified, but congress has
failed to act. 1t is reported that Pres
ident Irigoyen is preparing a special
message to congress urging that there
be no further delay in the matter.

MODERN LIFE
CAUSE OF Ills
Brings About InnumerabIe Neces-
stiles for Adjustment
in Individual.
many CURED DURING WAR
Medical Expert on the Psychoses and
Neuroses Developed in Struggle
Chronic Worry Relieved After
Real Reason Is Found.

New YOrk.-Fear and anxiety, twin
!. demons that make naisHSable so many
lives, have their origin in inward con-
flict and can only be conquered by
tracing the trouble to its source, says
DR.. Frankwood E. Williams, associ-
ate medical director of the national
committee for mental hygiene, in the
current number of Mental Hygiene.
Complex community life brings
justment in the individual. and failure
to make these adjustments with a
measurable degree Of success is often
responsible for so-called mental or
nervous ills, technically termed psy-
chooses or neuroses, according to Doc
tor Williams, who uses illustrations
from the recent war to make this
point clear
Many Cured During the War.
During the war many men, finding
themselves in apparently intolerable
positions, sought unconscious refuge
in mental or nervous breakdowns. By
tracing the history Of the conflict so
terminating the greater percentage Of
the mel might have been sent back
to their commands completely re-
stored and ready to face whatever
might come. In fact, Doctor Williams
says, many men Of this type did re-
cover completely with the aid Of rest
and proper psychiatric treatment, and
fought bravely.
The measure Of mans success in
handling life's problems, according to
the article, lies in his skill in adjust
ing himself to the complicated life Of
modern society. Some fail completely,
developing psychoses: Of more or
less. serious nature, others are partly
successful, but the difficulties of adj
justment set up nervous disturbances
that render them neurotic, while the
majority succeed in making their ID
justments without too great difficulty.
Relieving Chronic Worry.
Even among those who are appar-
emily successful, however, thousands
are found who are annoyed by anx-
iety, who are Chronic workers." and
whose uneasiness arises from an inner
conflict which may be got at by the
use Of proper methods and relieved.
Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious reasons for anxiety or fear,
and that these should not be over
looked, but .that often the real reason
lies deep and must be carefully sought
after before relief can come.
It is in these cases that the psy-
! chiatrist finds his deepest interest and
his greatest chance to help. "Where
the reaction is out of all proportion to
a reasonably assignable cause, OF
where no reasonable cause may be
found, then expert guidance and help
are needed" says Doctor Williams
citing instances Of persons afraid tc
ride in, the subway, fearful Of being
j alone, in comfortable, happy surround
! ings and worrying. and crying with
out apparent cause.

was started. The body was ex-
humed and experts are said to have
declared that the wound could not
have been self-infiicted.
