The Price That Is Set.

The gods have set a price upon
every real and noble pleasure. If you
would gain the favor of the Deity
you must be at the pains of worship
ing Him; if you would be beloved by
your friends you must study to obllge
them; if you would be hOnored by any
citv YOU must be of service to it; and
If YOU would be admired by all Greece,
on account of your prObity and valor,
YOU must exert yourself to do her
some eminent service. If you would
render your fields fruitful and fill your
arms with grain, you must labor to
cultivate the soil accordingly. Would
you grow rich by your herds, a prop
er care must be taken of them; would
YOU extend your dOminiOns by arms
and be rendered capable of setting at
liberty your captive friends and bring
ing your enemies to subsection, you
must not only learn of those that are
experienced in the art of war, but eX-
ercise yourself also in the practice OF
military affairs; and if'you would eX-
Gel in the strength Of your body you
must keep your body in due suDJec-
tion to your mind and exercise it with
labor and pains.-FrOm the "Memora-

AMERICAN LEGION
BACKS RED CROSS
Head of Soldier Organization
Urges Fighting Men to Help
Roll Call.

National Commander John G. Emery
of the American Legion has issued the
following proclamation to all members
of that body in behalf Of the Red Cross
Roll Call, November 1924:
During the World War, the Amer
lean Red Cross, in accordance with it's
Congressional charter, performed
herculean task in behalf of the soldiers
and sailors of the American forces,
and their families. Since the Armistice
it has provided a very necessary serv-
ice for veterans of the conflict, par
ticularly the disabled, assisting these
men to obtain the rights and benefits
provided by the government. During
recent months it has been especially
designated by Col. c. r. Forbes, direc-
tor of the Veterans Bureau, to cooper
ate with the Bureau and the American
Legion, in the "clean up campaign" de-
signed to discover every disabled ex-
service man entitled to governmental
compensation, medical attention or vO-
cational training.
"Beginning on Armistice Day, No
vember II, and continuing through
Thanksgiving Day, November "a, the
Red Cross, with which the American
Legion since its organization has been
in close contact and cooperation in
matters affecting the welfare of veter-
ans will hold it's annual membership
Roll Call. 1t is peculiarly fitting and
desirable that in every community
where it is possible the Post Of the
American Legion should cooperate
with the Chapter Of the Red Cross in
seeing to it that the membership cam
naign is successful in maintaining the
strength of the Red Cross. The con-
tinuance of effective Red Cross serv-
ice to veterans, which already involves
an annual expense several millions in
excess of receipts from the last Roll
Call. depends to no small extent upon
public support of the society expressed
in membership. Please make certain,
therefore, that the members Of your
Post are all requested to cooperate so
far as Is in their power with the Red
Cross in its task of enrolling members
during the Roll Call period"

S64,763 DISABLED
The 344 Chapters in Atlantic Di-
vision Spent $1,18O,416 on
ex-ServiCe Men This Year.

Disabled men in numbers sufficient
to populate a gooG sized city were aid
ed this year by the 344 chapters of the
Red Cross in New York, New Jersey,
PENNSYLVANIA, Maryland, Connecticut
and Delaware, according to an an
nouncement from Atlantic Division
headquarters in New York. Approxi-
mately S1,1SO,416 was expended in car
ing for S64,7G3 veterans and their fami-
lies. Reports received at Red Cross
Headquarters show that the men and
women who have been assisted in 50
many ways by the Greatest Mother
are among the most loyal supporters
of the coming Red Cross Roll Call, to
be held from Armistice Day, November
II. to Thanksgiving Day, November "a.
Distribute Comforts
OF the 26,350 disabled men in the
hospitals of the country more than
$500 are being treated in hospitals in
the Atlantic Division, and their COM
fort is one of the chief concerns of the
Divisions chapters. Red Cross work
ers are kept busy distributing COM
forts, providing entertainment and
recreation and helping to straighten
out family difficulties for these men.
A total of 100000 cigarettes were dis
tributed this year, 1000 tins of tobacco
given away and 2,5SS sweaters dOnat-
ed to convalescents. Loans totaling
S6,952 were made and 32,539 social
service cases carried through to a sue
cessful conclusion. Sporting goods
and comforts were provided at a cost
of S21,7S7.
Together with the newly formed
United States Veterans Bureau and
the American Legion, the Red Cross is
now participating in a nation wide
cleanup campaign, which has as its
aim the settling of all outstanding
claims of ex-service men and women.
In one month recently 6,3O2 claims
we're acted upon by the travelling
squads in the six states. The number
of Red Cross members engaged in this
cleanup is 1856, Legion workers num-
bering 43 and the Veterans Bureau
149.

need of better economic adjustments.
it would seem that those topics might
properly take the initiative in the dis
cussions Of the forum. They are not
only timely, but from high places
comes the charge of undue ignorance
concerning them.
Frank A. Vanderlip says that 1--WE
are a nation of economic illiterates."
And the president of Washington Uni
v~ersity says Quoting from memory
that we are more ignorant of eco
nomic questions than any nation in
the world. But we are now realizing
through the high cost of living, and
the cost of production and distribu-
ton that economics concern US indi-
viduals, and self preservation de-
mands that We study carefully and
prayerfully the economic laws which
govern our social life. For it is as es-
sential that the laws of health gov
erning our social organism be ascer-
tanned and obeyed, as it is that we
know and obey hygiene laws indi-
vidually. AS units Of the social or
Ganism we bear an inseparable rela-
tionship TO it which must become gen
orally recognized if we would enjoy
economic health. Moreover the Christ
message was social as well as per-
sonal. For inasmuch as ye have
done il unto n of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it unto

Reason was given us that we might
apply fundamental principles to our
changing conditions. And the whole
force Of the Christian conscience
should be applied to a subject so
fraught with human veal or woe.

ROADS AND BRAINS

Editor Register: A great painter
was once asked what he mixed his
pigments with, and he replied, with
brains, sir" In travelling W. the
country a careful observer a readily
see that some roads have been mixed
with brains, and in some the brains
have been left out. The Romans have
left to this day great monuments to
their brains in the imperial roads Of
Europe. 1t was a monument to their
brains that they built roads. Civil
ization depends upon the c~ompactness
of society, together with its nobility.

earth do not make society. Trails are
enough for savages. Society must
have arteries Of trade and Of social
intercourse. The Romans built roads.
This marked a high stage Of intelligent

brideed streams, graded tracks, and
occasionally returned to them to fill
the worst holes with h~alf-hearted eff
fort. During this time America has
been, say h~alf-civilized. Now America
is entering upon an era of-intended-
good and permanent roads. This marks
an advance in brains.
But the quality of the roads built
registers the quality Of brains. Some
roads begin TO break down upon one
end before they are finished IN the
other. Not mixed with brains. Some
roads when finished are as smooth for
the rapid moving car as the old cordu-
roy was for the slow moving Ok cart.
The reason Is some roadmakers have
brains enough to get dirt or gravel
on the road bed. but do not have
brains enough to know what to do with
1t after they have got it there. They
dump It, and then leave It wholly or
in part for the cars to wool down
into some sort Of place. On the other

Hoping that the Christmas spirit is
still rife, and that the community o n
seriousness generated by the co-opera.
tive activities of the season still glows,
the City Federation Of Women's Or
CARNATIONS herewith initiates its Open
Forum. Its purpose is betterment-
betterment of citizenship of communi-
ty and of commonwealth. 1t would
further enlightenment and efficiency
in whatsoever pertains to human well
fare, local or general. In short it
would facilitate the business of living
upon every plane of existance (physi-
cal, mental, moral or spiritually that
we may thereby achieve the more
abundant life which is promised.
To this end we would stress the
search for truth knowing hat there
is a right way to do everything which
way is essentially in accordance with
truth, or what is. But in this search
we encounter a psychological obstacle
OF which Mrs. Gelman sounds a clever
but pertinent warning:
Whatever is we only know
AS in our minds we find it so;
No staring fact is half so clear
AS one dim preconceived idea,
No matter how the fact may glow"
To overcome the pernicious power
of the "preconceived idea" to get
truth past all personal limitations, no
scheme has yet been devised excelling
the open forum, oral or written. Our
forefathers recognized its efficiency
when they incorporated the bill of
rights in our constitution. And the
editors of our city press have kindly
made It possible for the Federation
to try it out in a small way. We,
therefore, solicit the cooperation Of
the public, inviting questions, answers
and contributions upon all subjects in
furtherance of the ends specified.

ence to be physical and knowing that
economics must function in any stu
