RED CROSS met TEST
IN JAPAN FUND DRIVE
Spirit of Service Demonstrated
in Readiness for Nation
wide Activity.

When President Coolidge by procla-
nation designated the American Red
Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief of the Japan
ese earthquake sufferers should fow,
the Presidents desire came as an or
der to the Red Cross. Immediately
the entire machinery Of the organiza-
ton was put in motion and within "a
hours the, fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness Of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
in behalf of humanity. Within
month it had collected upwards OF
$1O,250, 900 in contributions, landed
ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re-
lief requirements-al without a sin
gle dollar of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge, in expressing
his thanks to the people, said: when
the news of the tragedy in Japan first
reached us, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to a proclamation, asked the
country for s5,OOO,O0O to meet the
great emergency. The answer to this
appeal was prompt and generous; In
less than two weeks sum far in ex-
cess Of the original goal was given"
The work of the Red Cross for
Japan is expected to influence very
large enrollpent of new recruits dur
ing the Roll Call, which starts ARMS
tice Day. 80.

Red Cross First Aid
Standards Adopted
In Great Industries

First aid in an emergency which
assures the injured competent atten-
ton until the doctor arrives is making
marked Roadway through the work of
the Chapters of the American Red
Cross. In populous centers 314 chap
tiers conduct first aid classes and last
year awarded $500 certificates to stu
dents. Eight big telephone companies
have enlisted their workers in first aid
classes, police and fire departments in
large cities are making the course
compulsory IN their training schools,
and through colleges and high schools
large groups of students receive In
struction. The Red Cross also gives
this course through Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Y. M. c. A. and similar organ1-
cations, and its standard methods
have been adopted by railroads, cleo
trio and gas companies, mines and in
the metal industries. The aim OF this
Red Cross service is to cut down radi-
cally the average Of 10000 accidental
deaths per year in the United States.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
COURTSHIPS

Tn WAS not long ago suggested In
4 England that the clergy ought to
open school for courtship. The sug.
gestl0n was made quite seriously, as
II was pointed out that many young
people meet clandestinely because
they find no sympathy at home. The
man who made the suggestion seemed
to think that this condition could be
remedied by the methods he suggested
Really 1t seems as IL the trouble
usually lay with somebody else beside
the young man who Is doing the court
Ing and the young woman who Is be-
Ing courted. 1t usually lies with aD
unsympathetic family. Nobody, pes.
haps, can blame the family. 1t is ut.
terly unpleasant for the tired father
to come home from hard day az
work to find that he must leave the
family living room that evening free
to his daughter and a young man whO
wishes to be his future son-in-law. II
Is far easier for father and mother,
big brother and little sisters, to dis
port themselves comfortably about
the family living rOom-and then fox
the young girl and her swain to meet
at the street corner and spend thu
evening at a moving picture show.
If there is a reception room CIR par
lor or drawing room, we'll and good
for that may be put at the disposal
of the daughters of the family, and mag
be made inviting to their friends
Counting days don't last forever. AND
remember that the sacrifices you mag
make now will be well repaid in the
greater happiness and chances for
successful marriage that your daugh
ter will have later on.

PLANTS OFFER BAIT TO
GET HELP FROM ANIMALS
Botanical Expert Describes
Strange Power of LoComo-
ton in Some Flora.

/, The animal kingdom and the plant
kingdom have been thought of as sep
iarate worlds, but science Is finding
many connecting bridges. Dr. Fred j.
3Seaver of the New York Botanical
garden staff, in recent lecture said
that it has now become absolutely i'm
possible to separate the lower animals
from the lower plants.
We think Of the plant as stationary,
while the animal is able to move
about, but many Of the lower plants,
such as the diatoms, swim about IN
the water, while many Of the lower
animals are fixed, he pointed out.
Going higher in the scale than the
humble diatoms, we find plants adopt
ing the fixed habit, said the lecturer,
while animals developed to a high de-
gree the power of locomotion. This,
together with the fact that animals
were largely dependent upon plants Tor
food, had apparently resulted in many
notifications Of structure on the part
of either the animal or the plant, or
both.
Since higher plants were for the
most part stationary, while animals
were motive, it was necessary for the
plant, generally speaking, to carry on
defensive warfare to keep from be-
ing destroyed by its hungry enemies
Many plants, especially the desert
plants, had developed protective arm
aments of spines or thorns. Just how
these devices originated, said Doctor
Seaver, 1t was now difficult to say, but
| that they served their purpose could
not be denied.
| Again, since higher plants were I'M
able to move about, many ingenious
arrangements had been perfected for
making use Of the locomOtary powers
of animals for performing some OF
the necessary functions of plants. The
plants used the locomotary powers OF
insects and other animals mainly IN
the pollinatien Of their flowers and for
the distribution of their seeds. The
appeal was usually made to the an
. imal's desire for food, which was Oh
fered as bait. In securing the de-
sired food, the animal was made to
serve the plant Brilliantly colored
flowers acted as signals, while the
nectar which they contained was OF
fered .as recOmpense for the assistance
rendered.

MANY TRAINED WILD AMI
MAILS DISPLAYS WITH
JOHN ROBINSON'S
80 BIG CIRCUS y

Trained Wild animal displays Ere
numerous this year with the John
Robinson Circus, which is making
its tooth, anniversary tour Of the
North American Continent and
which will appear in Albany, on
Tuesday Oct. 30,
In one of the many displays baby
elephants, tiny ponies and big dogs
give it is said, remarkable illustra-
ton Of what can be accomplished by
persistent and kindly trainers of
dumb animals. These groups go
through their stunts with the pre-
cision Of soldiers on parade, and
with an cagorness that suggests that
they actually enjoy their work.
This is only one Of tho many clever
trained animal displays announced
for the John Robinson Circus. There
are three herds Of wonderful per-
forming elephants; savage groups of
lions, tigers, leopards, pumas and
other "cat" animals; polar bears that
ride horseback; funny little burros;
ponies that go spinning on whirl-
wind table like equine tops; there
are monkeys that ride dogs and dogs
that ride ponies and balloons that
drive tiny Roman chariots drawn by
swiftly speeding CANNES, and other
exhibition of trained animal intel
ligence to delight the youngsters and
to interest the. grown-ups.
There are thrills galore, There are
acrobats who go flying across the
great arena; gymnasts who perform
every known feat of acrobatics;
bareback equestrians, whirlwind rid
ers; and entire ballet of aerial but
terhy dancers, and fifty-one clowns,
who arc always slipping an occasion
al bit of burlesque and jollity into
the varied program. The greatest
spectacle ever produced, "Peter Pan
in Animal Land" will open the pro-
gram.
Circus day will be inauguarted
with new and novel street parade
Of more than a mile in lenght, which
IS scheduled to leave the exhibition
