Birth of The Red Gross

This month the annual roll call
of the Red Cross is taking place,
and the public is again reminded
of the untiring zeal and effective
ness of this indispensable organi.
cation in the service of stricken
humanity.
In contemplating the devotion
of this now worldwide agency Of
mercy, it is not amiss to give
thought to that kindly soul who
was it's founder, Henri Dunant a
Franco-Swiss business man, born
in Geneva in 1923.
witnessing the sufferings Of the
wounded after the battle of Sol
ferino, Italy, in 1859, he organized
a volunteer nursing service for
their relief For three years there
after he lectured and wrote of the
horrors he had witnessed, travel
ing about Europe making his plea
for an organization to meet such
emergencies. Officials of influ'
ence were interested and an IN
ternational conference was called
at Geneva in 1853, with sc dele,
gates representing IA nations ana
six charitable organizations pres
ent. Thus the Red Cross was
born.
Henri Dunant lived to the age
of so, by which time he had seen
the great organization Of when
he was the father spread to every
civilized nation. Perhaps no man
who ever lived contributed more
to the cause of humanity tna alI
he, and millions yet unborn VIII
be beneficiaries of the noDle
movement of which his great SYM
pathetic heart was the inspiratlon'

about it not until advertising
got on the job and sold bathtubs.
Then everybody wanted them, and
today no home is complete with
out one.
Only short time ago our bath
rooms were as ugly as could be.
Somehow, no one thought of max
ing them beautiful But when
manufacturers began to advertise
artistic tile, tinted bathtubs and
beautiful plumbing fixtures, every
body realized how much pleasant
er life can be with beauty in the
bathroom.
Our parents and grandparents
were well satisfied with the heavy
staple foods of their time but we
have learned to demand a balanc-
ed diet, with plenty Of vitamins
and minerals and a goodly assert
ment of light salads and tasty
desserts to say nothing of out-of-
season vegetables and fruits. Our
food is much better today, because
advertising has changed our eat
ing habits. Where do you suppose
the radio industry would be if
manufacturers had not advertised
their receiving sets? Only fifteen
years ago home radios were prac-
tically unknown. Few people
cared about radio or thought it
would ever amount to much. But
the infant industry embarked on
a tremendous advertising cam
paign, through newspapers, maya
zines, signs and circulars, and in
short time radio sets were in.

five American homes. 1t is the
same with many other articles
Millions brush their teeth because
advertising sold them toothpaste
and many children have even been
persuaded by advertising to wash
their necks, and eat their spinach
Better living comes not merely
through natural desires, but also
through education.

In Santa Claus Pack

Advance reports from the work
shops of Santa Claus threaten
changes in the type of toys that
will fill this years Christmas
stockings. The younger genera
ton, it is said, now demands real
ism in its toys. Their playthings
must be patterned after the
tools, machines and employments
of the adult world.
A strange trend in toy manufac-
ture is multiplication of miniature
farm implements. Once a small
boys ambitions went no further
than a toy spade and bucket and
a place to dig. Nowadays he
wants a tractor, a disk harrow or
a mechanical gang pillow.
Equally in the realm of realism
are the chemical sets, micro
scopes, printing presses and tele-
phones designed to suit a small
boys fancy. And little girls, too,
must have dolls that walk, talk
and even blow bubbles.
Greatest gift for a child would
be vivid and ingenious magma
ton, capable of turning the crud-
est toy into a JOY and treasure.
But imagination, it seems, has
gone out of fashion. Perhaps the
next grown generation will be
more practical, scientific and real
istic because of the toys it plays
with today. But for the same
reason it may lack it's share Of
artists, poets and dreamers.

Deer The Deep Blue Sea

At a time in the worlds history
when airplanes are so impress
sively associated with shadows
of military conquest, any news
of the commercial trend of avia

Selling Better LiUing

Calvin Coolidge once related
that when he was a boy in the
hills of Vermont the only merch-
andise he saw was in the country
store, but his horizon was broad
ened by the advertising of things
that appealed to youth. With his
desires aroused for the interesting
and better things in life, he strove
to obtain them. Asserting that
advertising performs distinct
public service, Mr.. Coolidge ex-
planned, f'It is essential in the
first instance to produce good

Going To The Dogs

Archaeologists recently found
an Egyptian tablet dating more
than 1900 years back, on which
was inscribed the sad tale of
tough times and despair for the
future. So there's nothing unique
about Sourpusses. Times have
always been bad for some people.
A lot depends on what you ate

Then the studios began to buy
from him and Willy found himself
designing all sorts of fancy hose,
at fancy prices. That's what led
up to Miss Faye's stockings, the
most expensive he ever made.
"The stockings themselves cost
$780," he said, land instead of
clocks they had zippers, and the
zippers tipped real diamonds. The

not known, possibly not even by

discuss the matter but attorneys
who have handled the estate and
close friends believed it would to-

amount represents accrued inter

1906. From now until Field III is

mated at $2O,OOO,OOO year and

 RED SOX BOOK

BOSTON, Aug. 22-Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox boosts Leo Nonnenkamp, former Little Rock star, as the most promising re- serve outfielder in the 938 squad.
 With Ben Chapman, Joe Vosmik and Doc Cramer fixtures in the out- field this year, Nonnenkamp until mid season had scant opportunity to show his wares. Cronin insists, however, Leo is a conner.
 "Nonnenkamp is natural ball player" enthused the Red Sox pilot. He has enough sense to keep in shape TOT tn, opportunity that soon- CT or later will develop.
 "Too often youngsters kept on by major league clubs as replacements begin to get cute when they dis cover they are going to stay up. They start to loaf and think only about pay day.
 Consequently, when an emer- gency arises and they are sent into the game, they discover they need week or ten days to round out into condition.
 "Nonnenkamp is not this type of player, but is out there hustling every day, bent on winning a regu- lar berth. He is perhaps our ace outfielder defensively, and I don't think there is a better fly catcher in either league"

(Petersbarg Press)

Next week some of the local eco camp members will begin making improvements to the Petersburg ski jump. The work to be undertaken will include leveling off the slide below the jump, and installing two additional slides, one for skiers who do not jump and one for toboggans.
 Forester J. M Wyckoff has gone over the requirements with mem bers of the ski club and the work has been planned in accordance with the survey.
 Other CCC Work Continues
 Only a portion of the local CCC personnel will be used for the ski jump project, two other groups con- tinuing their work at the Territor ial Experimental Fur Farm and at the permanent eco camp at Twin Creeks
 The work of clearing the fur farm site is nearly completed and because of the great number of stumps has proved to be laborious task. When the clearing is done, the CCC group will build the neces- sary roads for the farm.

 Then, in t,,e first of the eighth, the Black Sox forced the retirement of Turner. Grummett opened with a walk and Roller erred on Orme's drive. Jack Schmitz crammed the bases with a single and Turner re- tired to third base, while Erskine came in from center to fog his fast one across the gathering darkness.
 Smith then hit to Roller to force Grummett at the plate, but infield grounders by Haglund and Fritz Schmitz put the final two Pap runs across before Erskine settled down to fan McNamee and Snow.
 Turner was touched for nine safe hits and the game, but used his curve to strike out thirteen Moose along the way. Smith, on the other side, got most of his batters by the fly route.
 The Moose were carrying the money of their National Command CT, Senator Reynolds, who watched a few innings of Alaskan baseball and backed his team against the Army's Assistant Secretary, Colonel Louis Johnson.
 The two teams meet again this evening in the fourth game of the playoff series, scheduled to start at Firemens Park at o'clock and last seven innings. Kimball and Erskine are the opposing fingers.
