CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMP AIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to /.
Remote Sections.

1.-THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross Is
its health service. Thus a committee
made up OF prominent physicians, SAN
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
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, 2O,-
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, NE.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1919, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1,0SS Red
Cross nurses working under the d.
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 APT women who com
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awa rded and 65,9ot students were UNI
der The instruction Of 1854 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each persons pecul-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognition through the work of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 2.6SS carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
$50 900 children and adults. More
than 1880 volunteers assisted in this
work Throughout the country 1928
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx
ma tely 254, 500 persons.

WHAT MAKES MAN
A PHYSICAL COWARD

Many of the roles in which stars
are seen on the screen are not really
human characterizaions - they are
merely figures set amidst thrilling
action. Sometimes thye walk, and
speak subtitles and make love with
out brething the spirit of life.
In direct contrast to this is the
most human role of all, that of a
coward. In some respect every hui
man being is a coward. He may be
brave in nine cases, but he can be
counted on to be a coward in the
tenth.
Edward (Hoot) Gibson portrays
the figure of a man who is made a
coward by circumstances, in his lat

States - Greek Refugee
Work Completed.

For its preparedness to render re-
lief through effective and generous aid
to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report of the Red
Cross, it's disaster relief operations
were carried out in ITO localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
Gus year, required the expenditure in
the United States of 1897, 468.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning Of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 100000 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head

Relief of suffering caused by disas-
tiers of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the commune
ties in which they occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter of the American
Red Cross In addition to making ap-
preparations from its treasury and as
signing trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster cen
tralizes and makes more effective re-
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad-
ministered more than s20,000,O0O for
the single purpose of disaster relief

ALI the World

Represented by 1865 members, the
American Red Cross penetrates to
nearly every part of the world. The
insular and foreign roll call statistics
for the past year are most conclu-
sive manifestation of the Red Cross
spirit carried into the most remote
lands. In Europe there are 4,0SS
members; in Turkey, and active in
the Constantinople Chapter, 3,545. Chi
ma has an enrolment of 2,252; Africa,

mounted to $60,216.54, while an addi-
tional $33,35O was forwarded for the

CANDLES SYMBOLS
OF THE YULETIDE

Another Christmas is approaching
and it is quite natural that all of us
instinctively want to do whatever
we can to add to the beautiful spirit
which seems to be abroad at that
time of the year.
We know how much pleasure
Christmas trees bring, not only to
the little folks but to their elders
as we'll. The Christmas tree custom
is a very old enc that has come down
to us over hundreds of years from
Europe. We all know the feeling of
warmth that creeps into our hearts
when we hear a group of young folks
singing Christmas carols and this is
another ancient custom coming down
from the mythical past.
But none of these are more beau
tiful, nor do any of them carry any
more tender meaning than that old
legend that tells of the Christ Child
coming down to earth on Christmas
eve and wandering up and down the
highway, out in the dark and cold,
who would have had no light to
guide his footsteps were it not for
the Yuletide candles burning in the
windows of even the most humble
homes.
Aside from these old but beautiful
customs il cannot he denied even nv
the modern man that it sends a pleas
ureable thrill through his being i'll
anything takes him out on the road
or street on Christmas eve and heI
passes a house with a candle burning
in the window. 1t seems to breathe
a good wish of the inmates of that
house for the way-farer who may be
abroad that night and it also re-
fleets an added joy in the hearts of
those who place the candle there.

SLAPPED BY EEL FROM SKY
Pastor Swatted by Fish Supposed to
Have Been Dropped by Hawk Who
Found II Too Heavy.

Easton, Md.-Many things come out
of a clear sky, but It is not often that
filmed inhabitants Of the water take to
daring heights, except maybe, in Man
dalay, where Rudyard Kipling de-
scribes the flying fishes at play.
In Easton, however, It is different,
for large eel dropped from a consid-
cradle height, slapped Rev. G. N. Jones,
pastor of the st. Michaels Methodist
Episcopal church, In the face and wig
gled down his body.
Rev. Mr.. Jones was walking along
Talbot street, when swish swish
through the air the eel dropped.
Since this species Of fish has never
been known to fly, It is supposed that
the eel was dropped by a fish hawk,
who found II too heavy to carry off
any further, and the eel being Of
slippery nature wiggled itself out Of
the hawks clutches and dropped to
earth.

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
que stion, What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace" What
the American Red Cross did at once
whom 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
a 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.
II is imperative that the structure
Of the American Red Cross be made
up Of millions OF individual units.
Or ming 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 theI
seven seas. The 1900 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.
