Red Cross Life-Saving
Service Is Nationwide

Scarcity Of water apparently has
no effect on interest In water rescue.
Arizona, popularity associated with
wide desert stretches and cactus, has
gone in with enthusiasm for the Red
Cross Life-Saving program.
The building OF new irrigation
dams is rapidly Transforming Arizona
into swimming State despite popu-
lar conception OF that country.
In more than 500 swimming insti-
tutes conducted by the Red Cross the
last summer, life-savtng instruction
was given by the Red Cross.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1926, 7,145 men, 5,40s women, and
1918 juniors passed the rigid tests
OF the Red Cross Life-Saving Service,
and were awarded insignia. The to-
tai for the year of 1926 represents
an increase OF 6,374 over the previous
year. The total membership of this
corps at the close Of the year was
102,076.
The Tenth Annual Roll Call from
November II to Is is an opportunity
to encourage these efforts through
membership in the Red Cross.

Scorpion Bite Seldom
Fatal, but Unpledsdni

Centipedes and millipedes have
more than eight pairs Of jointed legs
Millipedes look like centipedes, but
they have two pairs Of legs to what
appears to be each segment of the
body They are vegetarians and harm
less. Centipedes have no more than
one pair Of legs to each segment Of
the body. They are carnivorous and
like spiders, have poison glands in
conr .ction with their jaws. The story
about them Is just the same as those
about the spiders and the true scor-
pions. They are rarely, If ever, fatal,
but they are not pleasant when they
get through successful attack, which
Is their defense I have never been
bitten by them, but man know has
gone to a great deal Of trouble to get
large ones for the sake Of having
them bite him so that he can see what
1t Is like. He Is welcome to the Job
so far as I am concerned, but he Is
still very much alive.-Frank e. Lutz,

The "Stabat Mater" is medieval
poem of uncertain authorship, gen.

popular use In the Thirteenth century,
although not at that time with any
musical setting Because OF the beau
ty of the poem, 1t became great
favorite with composers, and hence a
number of musical settings have been
furnished for it, the earliest being
that Of Josquin des Pres, which ap-
peared in 1919. Other compositions
