services which it renders, but
also in the promptness with
which they are rendered. Pre-
paredness is its guiding rule.
It must keep its emergency
equipment and supplies con-
stantly stocked and ready for
use, its skeleton field force
ready for instant mobilization.
When the call for aid comes, it
comes suddenly and without
warning. The Red Cross must
be ready to meet it with a full
treaoury.
The Roll-Call is now on. Ev-
ery home in America should
have the emblem in the win-
dow.
The Red Cron Roll-Call
In the past year the nation
has been fortunate in having
had no major disaster to call
for the service of the Red
Cross. For that everybody
should be thankful.
But because we have not
had an emergency to face is no
excuse for failing to renew
our annual membership in this
greatest of all relief agencies.
Year in and year out the Red
Cross ministers to the distress-
ed, in countless ways whieh
call for continuous expendi-
ture of money. The only mon-
ey the Red Cross has is contri-
buted by the people, in re-
sponse to the annual Roll-Call
or to special emergency ap-
peals.
The usefulness of the Red
Cross lies not alone in the
WOMEN AND TAXES
When the women-folk of
America decide they want
something they generally get
what they go after. That is
one reason why there seems to
be a chance that, sooner or
later, the taxation racket may
give place to a system of rais-
ing revenue for Government
purposes under which every
citizen will know, all the time,
just what his own contribution
is. For a group of ladies call-
ing themselves the League of
Women Buyers and Taxpay-
ers, with headquarters in
Chicago, has started out in a
big way to make the people of
America tax-conscious.
The League is hunting up
the hidden taxes, that every-
body pays but few know they
are paying, and circulating
the facts abont them among
say, the housewives,
nation. They are pointing out
that every loaf of bread has to
pay 68 taxes out of the price
the housewife pays for it, that
there are 116 different taxes
on every gallon of gasoline
bonght for the family car, 172
taxes on medicine bought at
the drug store, or more taxes
paid by the consumer than
profits to the farmer on wheat,
milk and meat.
An old saw says that we can
escape everything but death
and taxes. The ladies point
out in one of their bulletins
that even in death we do not
escape taxation, for 167 indi-
rect taxes are hidden in the
undertaker’s fees.
An old-timer is a fellow who
remembers the one-man auto
top it took six men and a little
boy to manipulate.—Memphis

THE MAN WHO MAKES NO
MISTAKES
It was an ancient seer who
said that criticizing another
man’s oration is a simple
thing, but to make a better
one in its place is a task ex-
ceedingly difficult
The galleries are full of
critics. They play no bail. They
fight no fights. They make no
mistakes, because they at-
tempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the
doers. They make many mis-
takes because they attempt
many things. I would venture
to say that Edison, Burbank,
Ford, Marconi and the Wright
brothers probably made more
mistakes than any other men
who had lived. Ford forgot to
put a reverse gear in his first
automobile. Edison once spent
over two million dollars on an
invention which proved’to be
of little value. The gigantic
creative experiments of these
men in blazing new trails made
mistakes inevitable. But who
remembers the critics who
laughed at them?
The man who makes no mis-
takes lacks boldness and the
spirit at adventure. He is a
brake on the wheels of prog-
ress. There are no thrills in
his life. And there are no
monuments to his memory.—
The Silver Lining.
CREDIT FOR EVERYBODY
Considerable concern is ex-
pressed over the increasing
use of credit by such a large
proportion of the American
people. Men are mortgaging
their futures, these critics say,
by buying so many things on
the instalment plan. That, in
the minds of oldwsehool econ-
omists, is all wrong. What if
everybody who has pledged
part of his income should lose
his job? How could he keep
up his payments?
One answer is that if every-
body lost their jobs at the same
time it wouldn’t make any dif-
ference, for the whole country
would be broke. But the seri-
ous answer to the critics of the
system of buying goods on de-
ferred payments is that it has
been in operation for so many
years, and has so much expe-
rience behind it, that there are
figures as exact as actuarial
tables from whieh it can be
predicted just how many out
of a given number of instal-
ment buyers will fail to meet
their payment*.
In the automobile trade the
experience is that the loss on
instalment purchase accounts
is less than half of one per
cent—about 50 cents on every
$100 note. About the same
proportion holds good in other
lines commonly sold on instal-
ments.
From time immemorial
houses have been bought and
sold on instalment payments.
Probably two-thirds of all fur-
niture sold in the past 100
years has been moved on the
same basis. Why not, then,
buy other necessary or useful
goods in the same way? Most
people find it easier to pay off
an obligation than to “save
up” for a cash transaction.
After Seventy
Lest it be too easily asserted
that it man’s accomplish-
ments and abilities are of de-
clining values as he accumu-
lates years, or that his abilities
necessarily become debilitated,
it should be remembered that:
Between the ages of 70 and
83 Commodore Vanderbilt
added about 100 millions to
his fortune.
Kant at 74 wrote his Anth-
ropology, ' Metaphysics of
Ethics, and Strife of the Facul-
ties.
Tintoretto at 74 painted the
vast Paradise, a canvas 74 feet
by 30.
Verdi at 74 produced his
masterpiece Othello; at 80,
Falstaff, and at 86, the famous
Ave Marie, Stabat Mater, and
Te Dettm.
Lamarck at 78 completed
his great zoological work, The
Natural History of the Inverte-
brates.
Oliver Wendell Holmes at
78 wrote Over the Teacups.
Cato at 80 began the study
of Greek.
Goethe at 80 completed
Faust.
Tennyson at 88 wrote Cross-
ing the Bar.
Titian at 98 painted bis his-
toric picture of the Battle o'
Lepanto. — Christian Science

She’s Shaving Himself
Until late in the reign of
Charles H, young women did
not act upon the English stage,
handsome young men taking
female parts.
One evening the King, com-

and after a lengthy wait, sent
to know the reason.
“Please, Sire, the queen
is not shaved yet.”—Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

The man in the corner of the
railway carriage pulled out a
notebook and pencil and began
to make a sketch of the man
sitting opposite.
The ‘‘model,” flattered by
the attention paid him, leaned
forward and said “I perceive,

“Well, no,” replied the oth-
er. “Not exactly. I make de-
signs for door-knockers.”—

Tlw Danger Triangle
The triangle of which I
write is not the famous triangle
of literature but one whose
base is the mouth and whose
apex is the bridge of the nose.
Surgeons call It the “danger-
ous area of the face,” because
they have seen people die
quickly after quite small infec-
tions in this area.
The skin of the face is thin
and well supplied with blood.
Blood from the dangerous
triangle is carried in veins that
go directly and without any
valves tc the cavernous sinus
that lies at the base of the
brain.
Where is the danger in all
this? Suppose that a few
germs settle in this area, let us
say just inside the nose. The
germs begin to multiply, as is
their wont. But the body pro-
ceeds to defend itself by nuild-
ing a delicate wall of tissue
Now there
around the get_ _________
is a pimple. B annoys the own-
er of the nose, and he rubs or
scratches it In any other part
of the body, this bad technique
would scarcely matter. But
here lie those veins waiting to
cany blood to the base of the
brain. And the ruptured wall
of protective tissue is not al-
lowed to heal because all the
time changes of expression
keep the ekm on the move.
Of course, most people who
have a pimple on the nose do
not go to a doctor. No one
knows how many of them re-
cover uneventfully. But when
the doctor does see someone
with infection he is afraid. All
he can do is to try to keep the
part perfectly still and undis-
turbed. No talking, no laugh-
ing, eating with aa little move-
ment aa possible, sad, above
all, never scratching or rob-
bing.
