the concession.
The Los Angeles group said their adj
vices stated the reported cancellation
followed their failure TO make an initial
deposit of 100000 pesos. They said
they had expected the concession to be
ratified in Mexico City December %,
and had attributed the fact that it was
not TO delay in the receipt of draft
of the concession, TO one or two minor
points in which they said they had OBJ
jected.
They stated they had negotiated for
the concession with President Obregon!
The plan was for them to have two
years to exploit the tract, the Mexican
government was to receive 40 per cent
Of the gross revenues. The agreement
was to run for 20 years, with the
privilege of renewal and they were to
operate under Article % of the Mexican
constitution.

RED CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMPAIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

1.-THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross lie
its health service. Thus committee
made up of prominent physicians, sam
itarians and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study, re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service, but should undertake q
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report Of the American Red
Cross, just issued, discloses that 1t
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields of public health nursing, In
struction in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
600 of whom served during the World
War. The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections of Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1893 Red
Cross nurses working under the dt'
rection of Chapters. This work has
won so high a regard that many OF
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction In
Home Hygiene and Care Of the Sick
is noting a steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who COM
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were I'M
der the instruction of 1854 Red Cross
nurses.
Inc DenentS uerIVeu lroiH Mealo
balanced to meet each persons pecuI-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognitiotl through the work Of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 1858 carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
10000 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted in this
work. Throughout the country 1928
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx
mately 254,500 persons.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Armistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf of stricken Japan early In
September gave the answer to the
question, "What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request OF
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands Of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed'is
charter duty Of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled In ev-
cry community In the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership Is most
important.
It is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up Of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November IL,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 20, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends Of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival Of effort when the call
came from Japan.

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
arate worlds, but science Is binding
many connecting bridges. DR.. Fred j.
Seaver OF the New York Botanical
garden stan, in recent lecture said
that II has now become absolutely Inn
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 dlatoms, swim about In
the water, while many Of the lower
animals are fixed, he pointed out.
Going higher In the scale than the
humble dlatoms, we find plants adopt
ing the fixed habit, said the lecturer,
while animals developed to high de-
gree the power Of locomotion. This,
together with the fact that animals
were largely dependent upon plants for
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
a 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 t0 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 polllnation 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 Of
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 us recompense for the assistance
rendered.

Gipsies in History.

The original gipsies appeared in
europe at about the beginning of the
sixteenth century. II is probable that
hey were Of Hindu origin and were
ither exiled because Of their rel gioas
eliefs or ran away from the perSecu-
ion Of Tamerl0ne, or Tpnur,. the great
7artar conGucror who invaded India.
Us their origin was q mystery TO Eu-
ope when they appeared on its East

reed that 4hey were Egyn;ians. The
opular corruption OF the word

re now known the world over.

PENSIONS GIVEN TO ACTORS
Many in Berlin Supplied With Unem-

Several dozen well-known actors and
actresses, who accepted jobs with a
summer stock company operating the
Deutsches theater in Berlin, are now
drawing unemployment pensions, as
the venture failed and there is no
prospect of a new management taking
it over.
Under the circumstances these are
lucky in being able to qualify for
municipal unemployment doles, as
numerous colleagues, unable to find
summer employment because Of the
surplus Of musical shows and reviews
now holding Berlin stages, were forced
to engage in various pursuits pending
the opening Of the fall season.
