Come from whatever direction it will
come the cry of distress that reaches the
ear Of the Red Cross never fails to get a
response. It is an organization that is
always ready and waiting to render a
service to mankind when such service
will be OF the greatest value The Red
Cross is organized for the purpose Of
dealing with emergencies, for giving as
distance to suffering humanity whether
the distress is caused by war, by pesti-
lenee, by calamity Or by famine, and It
IS 2 service in which everyone should
be- anxious 20 contribute his support in
greater or less degree through enroll
ment as a member.
For a period Of nearly two weeks the
annual roll call OF the Red Cross is to
be held for the renewal and increase of
memberships throughout the country in
order that through such aid as is thus
given there may be obtained the funds
which are required for dealing with such
conditions as the organization may be
called upon to relieve.
No one can forget what aid was given
during the period Of the war by the Red
Cross. How much the suffering would
have been increased but for the many
ways in which its aid was brought to
bear can be appreciated by those who
received. participated in or witnessed the
extensive fed Of activity in which It en-.
gaged. But there hasn't been an in

WHAT NOVEMBER REVEALS IN THE HEAVENS

Any one who will take the troupie to
arise before sunset on one of the early
days Of this month will be most literally
rewarded by the sight with which the
eastern sky will greet the intrepid as
trcnomer, writes Do c. s. Brainin, of the
Columbia University Observatory staff.
Venus Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, the en-
tire quartet of brightest planets are the
morning stars this month and IN the
early part particularly will be found
fairly close together in the sky, placed
one after another along the line of the
eciIptfc circle. The order. from the hor-
lion upward, is as given above Venus,
is of course, the brightest, with Jupiter
next in brilliancy, as well as in position.
A little below Venus will be found a
brilliant, white, first magnitude star,

dess of the Harvest. Although of the

bright as Venus or Jupiter Tt will be

so-called fixed" stars if we recall that
the former do not twinkle except under
unusual atmospheric conditions.
Mercury too, will be a morning star
this month and may perhaps be observed
for week or ten days preceding and
following the 18th.

planets in the eastern morning sky oul
