On the badge of every member of the Junior Red Cross are the words «f Serve.” That tells the story of the school children's branch of the Amerl- can Red Cross and its efforts to bring happiness to chidren throughout the world Realizing that the tlme never was . 80" propitious_as right now for teach- ing the highest Ideals of citizenship, the entire present program of the Jun- tor Red Cross has been framed under thé very inclusive phrase, “Training for Citizenshlp Through Service” for others. Since the Junior Red Cross is the agency through “which the Amerl- can Red Cross reaches the schoolboys and the schoolgirls, all its activities are designed to come within the regu- 1ar school program, and without creat- ing new courses or increasing the num- ber of studies to lend Its ald in vitaliz fng the work of the schools. “The thing that is needed,” says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the American Red Cross Central Commit- tee, “is not a perpetuation of the Jun- for- Red Cross, but the training and _Mreeding of sound American citizenship fnspired by the true, fundamental ideals of sound democracy. One of the great. conceptions in making the Red Cross & contributor to better citizen- ship in our American democracy is the realization that after all the sole hope of any nation is with the children of the country.” .

One thundred and fifty communities In twenty-seven states suffered. The largest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi, Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippl, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohlo, Indiana and Illinols. . !

Whera is the old leisure, the old jog- trot, the ancient habit of go as you please? asks the Outlook. The hurry and scurry that have become, unhap- pily, .so much a part of our national consciousness, particularly in large cities, are llkely to wreck our nerves if we are not on_our guard. A friend of -ours receéntly decided that what he needed more than any- thing else, after his buffetings with the perilous waves of Manhattan, was the tonic of a roadside walk. People | jeered at him—yes, positively jeered: —when he made the suggestion; and in his pitiful search for companion- ship he could find no one who was will- ing to wander forth with him at a slow ] pace. “I will take you in my car” sald one potential companion. . “But I do not wish to ride,” answered our, féiend; “I want to stretch my legs and feed,and invite my soul in the way that merr were intended to do since the be- ,,glnmng of time” “You- will be run | over,” -cautioned many. And, true enough—that proved to be his immi- nent danger wherr hg set forth—alone. Speed has become the national dis-; ease. There is nothing pleasanter than ! motoring under the right conditions; . but seldom can one find a chauffeur who will glide through the green coun- [ try at the proper gait: Always he must overtake the car just ahead of him— and there Is always a car just ahead; { of him. Sudden turns in the road i bring Into immediate view other au- i tomobiles rushing nhead like mad; and ' ! 1t gets to be a game to catch up with , them, blow one's horn and whiz past.l _-a9 if something were to be gained by , the trick. 1 What does it all mean? Is it pos- | sible’ that our nerves are forever on i edge and that we have to hurry in or- der not to break down? The clamor of the country on a week-end Is hide- ous, an1 we think the silent hills must ! gmile as they watch us pitiful humans rushing through the valleys, this way and that, mad to beat some one elsi ! to a goal that means nothing when we arrive there. i A return to that large leisure and ense which our forefathers knew would | be a salutary thing for America, We are altogether too keen about getting nowhere In particular,’and then equal- 1y keen to get away again instanter. i Japanese Adapt ldeas.

The United States could well take, these countries as an example in this, one particular, and, in my opinion, the government is the proper organization to hack a school for teaching our, young men who wish positions abroad all possible facts regarding the people, habits and customs of the particular land fn which they propose to help in making “made in America” the most familiar trademark in the world.

A tremendous amount of labor is saved daily at the offices of the De- trolt street rallways by automatic coin-handling machines. A bank of machines handles an average of 200.- 000 coins each day. The machines are operated by one-third horsepower mo- | tors. The coins are placed in hop- pers at the top, in all denominations, Just as they come from the fare boxes on the cars. Wlithout further atten- tion, battered and badly worn pleces are thrown out and the remaining colns are sorted into their respective denominations. These are accurately counted and properly wrapped in rolls of any desired amounts. Leprosy Ravages Colombia.
