to Picture Volcano

Hilo, Island of Hawaii. = Airplane.
photographs of the fre-pit of an active
volcano were taken recently by United
States army pilots, who successfully
performed this daring feat over Kill
auea, the largest continuously active
volcano in the world.
A group of four planes did the work.
In a sudden descent directly over the
inner crater they went down to within
few hundred feet Of the roaring in
ferno of lava within the encircling
walls.
Heavily buffeted by the up-rush of
super-heated air and gas fumes arising
from the pit, the avaitors drove their
planes straight ahead, while the daring
photographers, leaning far cupboard,
took series of rapid-fre photographs
of the tumultuous molten lava directly
beneath them, according to witnesses
of the feat A series of unusually
graphic views was taken.
Those who participated in the fight
were Lieutenants j. M. McCulloch,
W. N. ARMS, and Ned Schramm; Cap
tain r. G. Hoyt, communication officer;

in Denmark. The first year more
than 4,11S,000 stamps were sold, two
for every man, woman and child in
Denmark, so vividly did the idea
seize the imagination of the Danish
people. Mr.. Riis received in his
Christmas mail a letter from Den
mark bearing some of these seals. In
a magazine article in 1907 he told
of the origin of the Christmas stamp
in Denmark. The stamp bore a
message that in his opinion should
60 round the world.
First American Seal.
Miss Emily P. Bissell, Red Cross
worker of Wilmington, Del. read
Mr.. Riis' article and conceived the
idea of selling Christmas stamps for
a tuberculosis sanatorium which she
was then establishing on the outskirts
of Wilmington. She secured more
than $1,000 for her project. Miss
Bssell saw the possibilities of the
stamp and it was upon her sug-
gestion that the American Red Cross
undertook a nationwide sale of
stamps. The next year 100000 worth
of seals were sold. BY 1914 the sale
had passed the half million mark.
During the last four years ;he an
nual sale of stamps has emo. Ated
yearly to between three and four
million dollars.
AS the sale of seals has mounted
year after year the toll of the white
plague in this country has steadily de-
creased. The death rate for every
one hundred thousand was 1913 in
1908. Last year it was 81 for every
one hundred thousand.
Christmas seals cannot be sold
without selling irst the idea Of the
prevention Of tuberculosis. Through
rAe Christians seal millions of lhcn
12d women have learned tie nature
and prevention Of tuberculosis; hun
dTeds of hospitals, clnics, open afr
schools, preventoria and ether agra-
cics for fighting tuberculosis have
been brought into existence. Mothers
have learned how to safeguard ta..r
homes against the disease and men
have won their way back TO h:alh
through proper regulation cf
their work and rest. The re.notcss
hamlet has learned that to sc cured
of tuberculosis the patient must have
rest, fresh air,NrOper food, the proper
mental attitude aud good care.

aware in 1907. Until 1919 a single
red cross, the symbol of the American
Red Cross, appeared on the seals.
Since 1919 the Christmas seal has
not been in any way connected with
the Red Cross. 1t is strictly a tu-
berculosis seal and always bears
the double barred cross, the symbol
of the National tuberculosis Asso-

The tuberculosis Christmas stamp

Back in 1852 when our grand
mothers played at "post Office" the
charity stamp" made its first ap-
pearance. Women of Civil war
days had the vision to see the ire
mendous appeal of a penny stamp
used as the symbol of "a great public
service.
The tuberculosis Christmas seal
which has now become an established
part of our holiday season every
year, is thus American in origin. Wo-
men interested in the Sanitary Com
mission in 1862 opened miniature
post Offices at fairs held in Boston
Brooklyn and other eastern cities.
This commission was really the fore
runner of the American Red Cross.
Anyone wishing to receive letters
from these post Offices had to paw
postage in the form of SANITARY
Fair Stamps" By 1864 the charity
stamps sold in these post Offices had
brought TO the Sanitary Commission
more than million dollars for the
care of wounded soldiers.
After the Civil War the charity
stamp was forgotten and did not re-
appear until 1892 when such a stamp
was used for Red Cross work in Por-
tugal. The idea returned to this
country in 1907 by way of Denmark.
It was Denmark, called by Jacob A.
Riis, the eminent philanthropist "San-
ia Claus own country, which sur
rounded our charity stamp with
the atmosphere of Christmas. Christ
mas is the most beloved of all fetes
in Denmark and the sale of the holt
day stamps to raise funds for the
building of a hospital for tubercu-
ious children in that country was the
forerunner of the Christmas Seal, the
famous symbol of health which has
now circled the globe.
Stamps Collect Millions.
Today this little stamp with the
tremendous significance back of it, is
practically national institution in
America and the nations of the
world. Millions of men. women and
children recognize the Christmas
seal as an opportunity and a personal
responsibility to help stop the spread
of tuberculosis. So vividly has it
seized on the popular imagination
that now the penny stamp, calling for
the smallest gift ever conceived, has
BY its sale brought in more than
$25,000.000 in the United States alone.
The 1924 seal shows little child
in front of fire place with the head
Of Santa Claus appearing in the
smoke that mounts from the hearth
A Christmas wreath formed the
motif for she first Christmas seal
used in this country, which was sold
only in and around Wilmington Del
