 sshe could only stare at him wildly.

You dance with him; make the pretty talk; make the pretty picture-YAHp He ended with a veritable growl and got up from the table scowling like the criminal he was. He beckoned to two men. They came from within-Betty Mary had not even seen them waiting in the shadows-and in her frantic state now they apeared almost fiendish.
 'Take her toto the kitchens, the laundry, anywhere 50 she can work. Work, senorita! You have make fool of me, now you work for mel"
 MOI Let me go! There's mis- take, I tell youl Let me" It was her first word of protest, so alarmed had she been.
 "Sure, the mistake, and you make him, senorita! Men have die for make the mistake with Luis Barro. But so beautiful senorita-!" With truly fine gesture he dis missed the whole matter, turned from them and strode back toward his big living room. She had an instinct to shriek for moment so frantic was she. But strong man was holding each of her arms now, and she found herself walking be- tween them.
 By sheer force of will she took a deep breath, squeezed her eyes shut for long moment and con- trolled the hysteria that threatened to engulf her. Resistance, she knew would be foolish at this time.

} STORIES
 IN STAMPS
When the Red Cross Started at Geneva

THE horrors of the battle at Sol- A ferino first gave Henri Dunant the idea of a permanent relief service for soldiers. By 1863 he was able to enlist the interest of several nations in a meeting at Geneva to establish such a body. The convention drew up 10 arti- cles and prescribed a uniform and "a white arm badge with a red cross in it."
 So was the seed of the Red Cross Society sown. It was to grow rapidly. The next year, 1864, most of the nations of Eu- rope and the United States, rep resented unofficially, met in Gee neva again. This time the con- vention drew up the famous 1864 Geneva Treaty" which wrote the rights of the wounded and of those who succor them into the laws of nations.
 These rights included the neu- trality of the medical corps, the wounded, the ambulances, mili- tary hospitals, personnel, and even the civilians in the war zone rendering aid to the wounded. They were declarations that were to go far toward bringing hu- manity to the battlefield.
 The 1864 convention also adopt -L red cross on a white ground. These were the Swiss national colors in reverse. They were adopted because of the convention in Geneva.
 The Geneva convention is com- memorated by a current set of stamps from Finland, one of which is reproduced above.

CHAPTER XIX

It was not difficult for Betty Mary to win the confidence of a young woman inside Luis Barro's ranch home. Her .22 cartridge again was entree enough.
 She soon discovered also that there were armed guards posted discreetly around the buildings. She realized that Barro would need an armed force if he expected to do much smuggling of aliens. A Mexican man outside, apparently loafing against a rock, would in reality have a repeating rife lean- ing nearby; and it is common for men to wear pistols in Mexico so that guns excited no notice here.
 Betty Mary also deduced easily that the surprising number of peo- pie present were mostly aliens wait ing to be slipped over the line at night. Barro was using his ranch home as their assembly place. Dur ing her first few hours there Betty Mary saw four cars come up and discharged foreigners. They were ad- mitted to Barros living room much as she herself had been, and she knew that the guards and servants probably had thought she herself wal another estranjero-alien-at first. When she displayed her token,

La Guardia Sees Harm
To Labor From Division
Within Its Own Ranks

New Orleans (ILNS). - Labor is
damaging itself by division within it's
ranks, Mayor La Guardia of New York
told delegates to the twentieth annual
convention of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
Labor" he said, needs Sc
curity, industry needs stability
and agriculture needs parity. One
cannot get along without the
other"
The mayor said it was a crime to
talk about surplus so long as 1--WE have
man, woman or child in need of food"
Higher farm prices will never
bring cheaper food for city folks he
said. "The farmers can't object to
higher prices for labor if you expect
the consumers to pay higher prices
to YOU"

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1889.
COMPENSATION IN INDUSTRIAL
ACCIDENTS

The Women's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor has published a
survey of industrial accidents among
men and women, and the relative COM
pensation for the same. Only 19 of
the 48 states have furnished any data
on this subject; and much of that is
wholly inadequate. 1t goes from 1882
to 1884, some reaches back to 1927;
and only seven states even counted the
injuries for the eight years before
that date.
AS a sample of the facts shown, here
are figures for four states from 1882
to 1884. The average compensation
for industrial accidents to men is taken
as 100, and the average compensation
to women is given in percentages.
In Illinois, woman injured in an
industrial accident got 49.8 per cent
of the average paid to men in 1882,
and so per cent in 1884.
In Michigan, women got 483 per
cent of male compensation in 1882, and
Sc per cent in 1884.
In New York, the rise in the same
period was from 47.6 per cent to 54.5
per cent.
In Pennsylvania, women got 81 per
cent of the average male compensa-
tion in 1882 and 37.9 per cent the next
year-1934 not given.
These figures show two things; first,
that the compensations for women are
coming up; and second, that they have
great distance yet to 60
William Gibbs McAdoo, when he
took charge of the railroads in the
World War, announced that women
would get the same pay for the same
work as men. How long will it take
private industry to get up to that
level?
