MARINES IN CHINA AID IN-RED CROSS WORK !Members of Legation Guard at Peking Voluntarily Build Roads in Famine District. March §—Fourteen ma- s from the American legation guard are serving as engineers and assistant engineers on the read con- struction work which 1s being done in the famine district by the American Red Cross for the purpose of afford- ing occupation for destitute Chinese. They are volunteers who willingly gave up a comfortable station in Peking for a temperary life of con- siderable hardship in a dreary coun- try and have taken hold with true American spirit. The work entails, @n the part of the division engineers, days on end in the saddle, moving from one end of the division to the other and with none too comfortable living quarters, and one of the men writes back to his mates that after the day's work he “goes to bed to keep warm. The road under construction lg di- vided into three divisions of about equal length and each division is in charge of an engineer and one or two assistants. Commening upon the service of the marines, Lieut. Bogert write “I all divisions could continue to be handled by marines in the same way as they have been handled to date, it would be greatly to the credit of the American guard.” (It appears that some technical objection has arisen with respect to further em- ployment of the marines in the work in question.) Bogert recommends that the present force of marines be retained on the construction work, both because of the credit accruing to the legation guard and because the Red Cross has great need of them, since foreign vol- unteers are scarce.

The sum and substance of this propaganda is based on the old theory (long since exploded) that one must see what one buys not to be cheated. | It is no more necessary to see gasoline when it is purchased than to sec the contents of a can labeled “toma " ‘The only satisfactory basis for buying is confidence in the seller. If oil and gasoline merchants were dishonest, it would be our rec- ommendation that the public insist upon being served with gasoline from a TIN MEASURE—and closely watch the operator fill it and empty the contents into the automobile reservoir. e BUT THESE MEN ARE NOT DISHONEST From our experience, during thirty-five years of close contact with oil ' and gasoline merchants, we know them as a class—KNOW they desire to be fair, and that their success, like the success of any other business, has been built upon their honest dealing and good service to the public. Good SERVICE is really what the public demands.
