JUNIOR RED CROSS MAX
ING CHRISTMAS BOXES

st. Louis, Oct. 16.-School chill
den of America, through the Junior
American Red Cross, are hard at
work upon 100000 boxes to be sent
to children of Central Europe in
whose miserable lives, the signifi-
canoe of Christmas has never been
known. Of these boxes, $4,000 will
be distributed in Vienna, $4,000 in
Budapest and 1000 among the chill
dren of the Balkan States.
Last year the American Red Cross
appropriated 100000 francs to buy
candy at Christmas time for these
children whose lives have known
so little of pleasure. This year it was
decided that the gifts would have
greater significance if they came
from the boys and girls of the Junior
Red Cross.
Specially made boxes, bearing the
Red Cross symbol and brief Chris
tmas greeting on the cover have been
prepared to hold the gifts which are
bandkerchiefs, washcloths, stockings
toothbrushes, soap, doll, marbles,
tops, sweets, or whatever the chill
dren care to put into them. Each
box is provided with an addressed
post card to be used by the recipient
- acknowledge the gift
The boxes will be shipped from
New York early in November to as
sure arrival in ample time for dis
tribution on Christmas Day

MOT only in such police work as
protecting the mails, in pre-
serving order in times Of riot or
confagration, in suppressing slave
traffic, as guards at the U. S. stations
in foreign countries, at international
expositions and to American officials
travelling abroad. but in constructive
work of building up the country, as
in Louisiana, in the Philippines. in
mapping the island of Cuba and in
the Virgin Islands the Marine Corps
has won a place in history as great
pioneer agency carrying throughout
ideals for which the Stars and Stripes
stand.
So the Marine Corps is the honor
guard at the peace parley, which
promises to be the most epochal
event in the history of the world
The marines acted as personal body
guard for President Wilson on both
his trips to France and return. and
marine detachment acted as a
guard at the peace conference in
Paris.
Their presence as guard at the
peace parleys is interesting. since a
previous conference nearly wiped the
marines out Of existence. Few per-
sons are aware that the present con-
ference of the nations to consider the
reduction of naval armament Is not
our first effort along this line, for,
just prior to the war of 1872, bill
almost passed to reduce the Navy to
three frigates and three small craft
and to decrease the Marine Corps to
two companies. But the second war
naval reduction into the dim back
ground and the marines fought on
ships and at Lake Erie, Bladensburg
and New Orleans. Then came the
peace establishment act of 1917,
carrying reduction in military
on fighting the small wars such as
those of the American Indians, West
Indian and East Indian (Sumatra),
pirates, Fiji Islands, Cannibal Is
lands, and working constantly on
peace time accomplishments.
erings the marines have been promi-
nent as exemplars of the protection
and service that this country always
affords its own citizenry and their
guests from other countries. The ma
rines have maintained honor n guards
homo and abroad-at Paris in 1873
and in 1889; at the Columbian exposi-
tion in Chicago. at Buffalo, st. Louis.

Perhaps the most interesting skele-

man of twenty-five or thirty who had
been buried for two years. He was

of his skull.
Capt Williams took the skull with
him to police headquarters. Perhaps
if he kept it he might solve the iden-

crime. he thought.
He gave the skull a formaldehyde

measured the wounds. Then he sat
down. forgetting to eat, SO intense
was his interest in the case. and

II asked a woman to describe the

relative, so varying and 30 complex
that few people can describe an iso-

know whether her husbands mus
tache was stubby or long, whether 1t
was brown or gray or mixed. He had
some prominent gold filings in his
teeth.a but she couldn't describe them.
All she could tell me about his clothes
was that he wore IL dark suit. l

could not adequately describe miss
