Will-o'- the-Wisp

In marshy country decaying
vegetable matter gives off in
fammable gases, and these some
times become ignited. The light
is called a Will-o' -the-Wisp, and
used to be regarded as a ghostly
being. Science is not quite certain
as to the way in which these fires
are started, but there is no doubt
about their existence and their
nature.

PREPAREDNESS
BY the
AMERICAN RED CROSS

HE making of large numbers
u of surgical dressings for the
armed forces in wartime is one
of the principal duties Of the
American Red Cross.
Immediately after the outbreak
Of the world war in Europe in
September, 1889, more than 500
Red Cross chapters throughout
the nation began making large
quantities of surgical dressings for
our army and navy. In addition,
a large number of dressings were
made to be used by Red Cross
relief organizations caring for the
suffering civilian population in the
War-torn countries of Europe.
AS the war progressed and
spread to more and more
nations of the world, this pro-
gram of surgical dressings
was gradually enlarged and
extended to Red Cross chap
ters in practically every coun-
ty in the United States. To-
day more than 5000 Red
Cross chapters are busily en-
gagged i'm making surgical
dressings for our army and
navy according to standard
specifications and methods
furnished by them.
More than two million women
throughout the nation are now
making surgical dressings for our
armed forces under this program.
BY the end of October, 1912, they
had made more than a hundred
million dressings Of all kinds and
were embarking on very large
program for the coming year.
The making of surgical dressings
is very important work in which
nearly every woman can partici-
pate, no matter where she is To-
Gated or how little time she can
spare. Many thousands of volun-
teers are needed for this work
and every one of the $3.50 Red
Cross chapters participating in
this program in nearly every
county in the United States needs
help.
During the past month, ten mil
lion surgical dressings made by
volunteers in American Red Cross
workroonns were sent to Russia
for Russian soldiers wounded at
Stalingrad.

Live Mouse Traps

Irish fishermen have a novel
method of catching mice in their
shacks. They use live oysters!
These are scattered around and
when a mouse sticks his nose
or foot into the half-open shell the
oyster closes up on it.

"What is it? We all eat it some

It appeared that the little man
did know, for he replied in a husky
whisper: "Wedding cake!"

OF the original five founders OF

only Charles Maurras and Maurice

pursued this work for well over q

His life was as turbulent as bis
