FIVE MILLION
RELIEF FUND
PLANS OF AMERICAN RED CROSS
FOR NATIONWIDE CAM
PAIGN is ON
American Ships Carry suocor to MIL
lions of Homeless and Stricken
Japanese. Red Cross Chap
ter to Accept Contributions

Washington,-A fund of $4,000, 900
Is to be raised in this country by the
American Red Cross for relief work
in Japan, 1t was announced at the
White House Tuesday following a
conference between President Coo
lidge Secretary of Commerce Hoover
and Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Wadsworth.
All plans for the nation wide cam
paign for funds were approved by the
president.
Just as American vessels blazed
the trail to medieval Japan half a
century ago, and opened up Nippon
to the commerce of the world, SO
today are American ships leading the
world across the Pacific, carrying re-
lief to the island empire in its hour
of greatest need.
All over the western part of the
Pacific American naval and mer-
chant vessels are speeding toward
Japan to carry succor to the millions
of homeless and stricken Japanese
suffering from the yet half told hor-
rors of the worlds greatest calamity
The 80 vessels comprising the
American Asiatic fleet are either en-
route to the devasted seacoast or are
loading supplies OF food, medicine
and clothing at the nearest available
port; shipping board vessels have
been diverted from their normal
schedules and ordered at full speed
on similar missions; from tile head
quarters of the American army in
the Philippines, two army transports
the Meigs and the Merritt are taking
ON reserve supplies and will short
ly be under way.
Americas response to Japan's call
for help was instantaneous. Mean
while Tuesday saw the inauguration
Of a nation wide drive throughout
the United States to keep the relief
moving in a steady stream. Every
Red Cross chapter in the country |
Is authorized to accept contributions
IF money, food and clothing supplies
Tor the millions of destitute.
The nucles of what probably will
De one of the greatest relief funds
In history is $4,000 appropriated
~ the American Red Cross from its
'eserve funds. More would be forth
,oming( officials said, as time lifts
he wells on the catastrophe and re-
-eals the extent of damage and suf-
ering.

I have never written to you before.
am is years old and I want to have
girl and boy friends. How can l have
them? I am quite bashful. How can
overcome this? / hope you can answer
my questions. Thank you. Sincerely
DOLLY, Utah.
You know, Dolly, I believe we can
accomplish anything IL we want to bad
enough and try hard enough. So now
the thing for you to do is to try very
hard to overcome your bashfulness and
try to be very bright, entertaining
little girl, so you may attract friends
to you. In the first place read a great
deal SO you will have something inter-
esting to talk about, then dress becom-
ingly and neatly and then go forth to
conquer. Go out among the girls and
boys of your neighborhood and try
hard to be just interesting as you
can be by talking to them or listening
to the ones who like to talk. You will
soon be surprised how much at ease
you can feel.

There is a rose in Texas
That I am going to see,
No other darby knows her,
No darby, only me;
She cried so when / left her
That IL nearly broke my heart,
And II we ever meet again.
We never more shall part.
She Is the sweetest rose of color
This darby ever knew,
Her eyes are like the diamonds
And they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest
May.
And sing of Rosalee,
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the Bellies of Tennessee.
Now I'm going to see her,
For my heart is full of woe.
And wen sing the songs together

Wen play the banjo gaily
And Wen talk our sorrows DER
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine for evermore
