Red Cross Is the RoIIyne Point Of Mankind,
Its FIog the Antithesis Of HitIers Hooked Cross

1oea, the urgency OF q need, the
desire to help.
And that was why his idea
could be accepted all around the
world, The seed planted grew.
A small committee was formed.
The committee called a conven-
ton: the convention had 26 gov
ernments participating, democra-
cies and dictatorships.
This convention created the In
ternational Red Gross, private
institution, privately controlled,
but under the support of govern
ments from the beginning. In
the midst of world power politics
an international brotherhood was
formed. And this new fraternity,
based upon humanism and con-
science, laid the foundations for
some international law.
This fraternity adopted a flag.

self. 1t was and Is the only ma
tional flag that lifts the Chris
tan cross, and nothing else. That
is the Swiss flag: A white cross on
A red field. 1t Is the only Euro
pean flag that has never been
connected with any racialism,
dynastic ambition, imperialism
or conquest. 1t is flag under
which Germans, French and Ital-
ians live and forget that they are
different peoples. The colors in
this flag were reversed--a red
cross on white field. And i'm
mediately this flag became a flag
of nations, under which. in war or
peace, there was one humanity.
That was 70 years ago. And
today an insult to this flag is con-
sidered by everybody to be the
greatest crime against humanity.
Heightened Shadow.
The story Of lean Henri Dunant
Is the fulflllment of the words of
Jesus, that He who loveth his
life shall lose it. but he who loseth
his life shall find it." Jean
Henri Dunant lost his own per-
sonality In a movement. But the
movement is "the heightened
shadow of one man"
The flag that once flew only
over battleflelds now flies where
ever there is disaster. from fire
or flood or famine. Wherever it
shines it declares that men are
brothers. 1t defies the principle
Of total war. 1t declares that
there is no such thing-that even
In total war there are human
principles. 1t protects the wound
ed, and the prisoner.
1hS piIC olIC iloll, CSdIl T1CIlll
Dunant was the antithesis of the
one man Hitler. so the Red Cross
Is the antithesis OF the hooked
cross of Naziism.
This nag is kept aloft by mil
lions Of private individuals. The
empire over which it flies has no
armies. no tax collectors and no
boundaries All can Join this
Order of Mankind, by the work
Of their hands. the risk OF their
lives, and the gift of a single
dollar.
This month the American Red
Cross seeks to raise fund of
s125, 100000. 1t is not enough.
One can have no higher ambition
for ones country than that in the
midst OF its bitterest and most
decisive war, 1t shall outdo every
nation in its support of the Red
Cross.

they turn dry and hang like fairy
bells. They do not lose their form,
and when the wind blows, the tiny
stems shake the bells SO that a
faint rustling sound may be heard.
At night, when you cannot see
them, If you listen closely you hear
a sound that resembles a long sigh.
The leaves are fairly large, a
beautiful green in color and soft
and downy. The down is no doubt
a protection against the hot winds.
This plant is quite common in
the South. In Arizona, it is
abundant in the protected canyons.
1t will grow in the District. Seeds
may be obtained through the Wild
flower Society.
Each blossom develops from one
to four seeds. The seed box is a
one-celled container and quite
hairy.
There are several interesting
plants in this family. Some are
perennial. others biennial. They
have fieshy running rootstocks and
large, more or less divided, leaves
that grow alternate along the stem.

found 1t hard to answer that ques-
tion. The name Is known to go
back about 400 years, but no one
is sure of the reason 1t came into
use.
One suggestion is that gooseberry
bushes grew around farms In Eng
land, and there had to be some name
for the berries to set them apart
from other kinds. It may be that
the name of the goose. a common
fowl, was chosen to build the name
"gooseberry." In much the same
way "crowberries" and "cowberries"
seem to have been named.
Perhaps more likely, the word
"gooseberry" grew out of a foreign
language. 1t may have come from
"grossberry" and the true meaning
may be large berry" Many words
have been changed In spelling since
olden days, and it is possible that
gross" was changed in spelling
since olden days, and 1t is possible
that gross" was changed to goose" ;"
Gooseberries really do reach large
size. When I say that am thinking
Of the big gooseberries raised in
Great Britain and on the conti-
nent OF Europe. Wild gooseberries
in North America, and some tame
ones, are small, but the name came
to us from abroad.
England's gooseberries are noted
for their flavor and weight. Some
times they weigh as much as two
ounces apiece, and compare in size
with plums. i
One kind Of gooseberry has as
much as 8 per cent Of sugar in it.
In general, however, these berries
have sharp taste. People seldom
eat them until they are cooked.
Gooseberry jam is prepared by
some housewives. Gooseberry pies
and gooseberry tarts also are eaten.
The sharp taste is overcome, in part,
when sugar is added. Another use
for gooseberries is In the making
of vinegar.
Gooseberries come not only in
different sizes but also in differ
ent colors. Many are green when
ripe, but others take on purple.
red or amber color. Red goose.
berries are the sweetest.
