PREPAREDNESS
~ tie
AMERICAN RED CROSS

THE 3,725 Red Cross chapters,
4 located in nearly every county
in the United States, perform a
very important service for MEM
bers Of the armed forces and their
dependents. This is the work done
by the Red Cross in case an emer-
gency furlough for the service
man becomes necessary.
While the county's Red Cross
chapter itself cannot request these
furloughs, 1t can speed up action
on them il the family will notify
the county Red Cross chapter inn
mediately after the emergency
arises.
The actual request for the fur
Tough must be made by the serv-
ice man to his commanding Off
Ger, who refers it to the camp
Red Cross field director. A tele-
gram from the field director then
asks the local Red Cross chapter
to verify information furnished by
the service man.
If the family notifies the county
Red Cross chapter at the same
time it does the service man, the
Red Cross can get the necessary
verification of facts to the camp
about the same time the furlough
is requested.
If investigations bear out the
service mans story, he usually
gets the furlough. But the county
Red Cross chapter must report
the facts IL the situation is mot
really an emergency, or If there
is anything else that may make
the mans return less urgent.
County Red Cross chapters also
make available actual financial
aid to service men and their fami-
lies in emergencies. If the man
needs money for the trip home, or
if the family needs money because
of the service mans absence, the
Red Cross may make it available
through loan or draft.
The Red Cross is often called to
aid in cases of the birth of a child
whose father is in the armed
forces. Likewise, Red Cross as
sistance is available to wives Of
service men before and after birth
of child.

Patience !.

pATIENCE is the guardian Of
: faith the preserver of peace,
the cherisher of love, the teacher
of humility. Patience governs the
flesh, strengthens the spirit,
sweetens the temper, stiles an
ger, extinguishes envy, subdues;
she brides the tongue, refrains
the hand, tramples upon tempta-
tons, endures prosecutions, con-
summaries martyrdom.
Patience adorns the woman and
improves the man; is loved in a
child, praised in a young man,
admired in an old man; she is
beautiful in either sex and every
age.-Bishop Horne.

If we are in the same squad, then
we'll both volunteer together for

Why Wind

The dictionary defines wind as
air in rapid, natural motion. But
why does it blow?
When air is heated it rises, and
as Nature will not permit a vac
uun, very naturally the neighbor-
ing air rushes in to take the place
of that which has assembled. So
we can state that wind is air rush
ing from a colder place to a
warmer place.

Grandma was young thing and the
Nations cry was Remember the Maine

States Secret Service.
But grandma was gray-haired and the
Nations cry was Remember Pearl Har-
Dor" when Frank turned in his badge
and retired at 73 after more than 40
thrill packed years as sleuth for Uncle
Sam.
He stepped out OF his official shoes and
put on his easy slippers to loaf amid the
breezebent palms Of Coral Gables, Fla,
to fish bit and to while away the time
fashioning intricate ship miniatures.
He left behind in the archives record
OF many exploits as a chaser of spies,
smugglers, and counterfeiters.
And so well did he do his work and
50 adept was he at spy surveillance and
counterespionage, that Assistant Chief
Joseph E. Murphy says Of him:
The Government owes more to him
than to any other one man in the service
for the work he did in combating spies,
both in the Spanish American War and
in World War l."
Thousands of soldiers were assembled
in Tampa in 1898 when Burke was police
chief there. The soldiers were awaiting
transfer to the scene Of battle in Cuba.
And accompanying those soldiers was an
influx Of spies.
Burke SO proved his worth at that type
Of investigation that the Secret Service
engaged him.
In the succeeding years, amid routine
cases, he succeeded in breaking up
gang which was smuggling Chinese into
the United States from Canada, and
brought to an end a vast opium SNUG

Heinrich F. Albert in 1915. This led to
uncovering of German espionage and
propaganda activities in this country.
At that time the United States was
neutral, so the counry was led to believe
that taking of the briefcase had been the
work of British agents.
What actually happened, as Murphy
tells it, was something like this:
On July "a, 1915, Burke and fellow
agent,AW. H. Houghton got into New
York City elevated train while engaged
in shadowing George Sylvester Viereck
convicted during the present war for
pro-Nazi activities).
Viereck was travelling with an uniden-
titled man who was carrying a we'll
packed brief case. The obvious respect
paid by Viereck to the other individual
labeled him as some one of Importance.
They conversed in German, language
unfamiliar to the two secret service men.
While passing the pair in the car
Burke had noticed several scars on the
face Of the unidentified man.
These brought to mind orders he had
been given some time before to look out
for man named DR.. Albert, the de-
scriptions tailed.
The train was a Sixth avenue Harlem
train.
1t was bound uptown. At the Twenty
third street station. Viereck got off and
Houghton followed him.
In the meantime, a young woman
boarded the car and took the vacant
seat beside Dr. Albert and began read
ing book.
To reach his home, DR.. Albert had to
take another car at Fifty ninth street,
but when the train reached that point
he was reading and was not aware that
the train had halted until 1t was about
to proceed again.
The stuffed briefcase was between DR..
Albert and the side OF the car.

Memories of home are dear to the
boys. Yeoman Kenneth Juncker, whose

was the first he completed after enlisting
in the Navy last autumn, said: Il shall
continue to paint childhood memories, as
these subjects carry me back to New
Orleans in feeling, even though l am
hundreds of miles away"
Their fellow soldiers and sailors are
the inspirations of many of the artists
represented. Genial young Southerners
marvel at reserved men from New Eng
land; sophisticated city boys ponder the
ways of those from the farms and hill
countries; breezy WeSterners are fasci-

to wait minute. AS he got to the plat
form, the young woman called that he
had forgotten his briefcase.
Burke, not to be caught mapping, told
the girl the case was his. grabbed it up
and headed for the station platform by
another exit from the car.
Dr. Albert, meanwhile was struggling
to get back into the car. his passage inn
peded by fat woman in the doorway,
BY this time Burke had reached the
platform, looked back and saw that DR..
Albert was visibly agitated. Other pas
sengers on the platform provided Burke
with some concealment. but the stair
way leading to the street was beyond
the excited German. Burke finally
eluded him.
When the contents of the briefcase
were examined, it was found that the
Germans had hoped to mold public
opinion in the United States through the
buying Of newspapers and the =
ton of books and the financing Of motion
pictures partial to the German cause;
to organize strikes and to otherwise
foment trouble in this country so as to
impede the flow of munitions to Great
Britain and France.
These facts were disclosed to the public.
but the part played by Burke in the
case was not publicly made known until
sometime after the United States had
entered the conflict.

It's just plain ''Mr. Burke" Uncle Sam
decided, after granting him a couple of
extensions beyond the usual retirement
