SEEK STAGE COACH FOR CELEBRATION Fred A. Emery Wants Vehicle for Halloween Parade, October 31. The committee planning a municipal eelebration of Halloween is looking for | an old stage coach to use in the parade | on the evening of October 31, it was disclosed last night by Fred A. Emery at a meeting of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia. One member of the association sug- gested where the committee might be able to find such an old coach, but Mr. Emery is still looking for further clues | to a stage coach which can be used in | what he calls the “Pageant of Revelry.” | On motion of Mr. Emery, the Asso- | ciation of Oldest Inhabitants authorized | its president, Theodore W. Noyes, who | was in the chair last night, to appoint a | committee to arrange for participation | of the organization in the celebration. The committee was appointed, to consist | of James F.Duhamel, Percy B. Israel, J. | Eliot Wright, B. F. McCaully, Samuel | Altman and Frank Dowling, and was| called to meet next Monday night at 8 | o'clock. Mr. Emery requested that any | one having information about the old | stage coach communicate with him, as president of the Society of Natives, 5315 Connecticut avenue. { Good to Have a Little Fun. | 1In urging all city organizations to participate in the Halloween festival| Mr. Emery said it would be a good | thing “in these days of seriousness to have a little fun, a little revelry.” | The principal speaker of the evening | was Richard Thrush, national director of life saving and first aid, national headquarters, American Red Cross. Mr. ‘Thrush traced the history of the de- | velopment of the American Red Cross from its first formal meeting for start- ing the movement here in the home of Clara Barton, at 1326 I street, on May 21, 1881, up to the present, when he described it as having 1,600 chapters and branches, reaching every commu- nity in the country. All the civilized countries of the world, he pointed out, are signatories to the Geneva treaty establishing the Red Cross. The em- blem of the organization, he explained, | was derived from the Swiss flag in honor of the original founder of the | Red Cross in Europe prior to its estab- lishment in America. The Swiss flag is red with a white cross, which was | reversed to a white background with a Red Cross, the organization thus taking its narfie from the emblem. Traces Junior Body. | The speaker traced the development | of the Junior Red Cross, which, he said, | had a membership of 7,000,000; the nursing service, with 50,000 enrolled Red Cross nurses on call for emergen- | cies, first aid and life saving, in which more than half a millon people had | completed courses and 300,000 had be- | come Red Cross life savers. | Declaring that the American Red" Cross belongs to the public, Mr. Thrush | said “the American people have always | expressed their confidence in their own organization.” He was speaking in con- | nection with the 50th anniversary of | the first formal meeting of the Amerl-' can Red Cross in the Clara Barton home_here. J. Eliot Wright presented to the as- sociation what he described as the last brick of old Center Market, obtained at the site September 5. Mr. Wright also read an interesting “autobiography” of the Northern Liberty bell, which now is located in the old Union Engine House. 0ld Bell Speaks. “In looking backward,” Mr. Wright wrote for the old bell, “I find that I was the first to ralse my voice when | first to proclaim the fall of Richmond, | the first of Lee's surrender, and also | the first to peal out'my notes of sorrow war was declared among the States, the when President Lincoln passed away. ‘While I may be conceited, I feel that I come next to my cousin in Philadelphia which rang out on the Fourth of July, ! 1776, the day of our independence.” Mr. Duhamel reported on the par- ticipation of the association in the Labor day firemen's parade. . A picture of George Washington was presented by Sarah Jane Wright of 1313 R street in memory of her father, George Wright, formerly a member of the assoclation. It was recelved with thanks. ‘There were many recollections of early days in Washington, including Fourteenth street and Park road. New members elected included James Robert Sands, William E. Sherwood, Thomas J. Sherwood and William Heit- muller, the fifth member of the family of that name in the association. Florida's State bird is the mocking bird.

STUDIES MADE TO ASCERTAIN EFFECT OF MINERALS ON BODY Experiments Conducted With Sodium, Po- tassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Sciencc Editor. ROCHESTER, N. Y., October 8.—A study of a new type of diet of minerals in common foods is under way at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. To learn what minerals do to each other in the body is the first objective. This was suggested, says Dr. W. S. McCann, in charge of the experiments, by a sclentific observation that foods containing’ excessive amounts of potas- s{um caused the body to lose sodium. Some of these minerals are known to be physiological antagonists. Others possess the power of displacing ions from the body. Ions are portions of atoms, or molecules, split off by elec- trical forces arising from chemical action. Five metals, & gas and & non-metal have been under observation for twd and a half years. The metals are sodium, a silver-white substance com- mon in cooking, glassmaking, fumiga- tion and food preservation; potassium, bluish-white, spectacular because it flames when thrown upon water; cal- cium, the body bone bullder, silver- white, used in dyeing ‘and etching: magnesium, also silver-white, used fe bleaching and making brilliant light; and iron. ‘The gas is nitrogen, and the non-metal' phosphorus, familiar in matches, medicines and fertilizers. These minerals all come from 42 com- mon foods, ranging alphabetically from IA :od.z. lromb mles to veal steak. ncluded are butter, , milk, tjoes and sugar. . i So painstaking is the work that the nurses cook the speclal menus in a glass-walled kitchen. The glass wall enables them to keep an eye on their gltk‘nu in adjoining .rooms at all imes. gen by weight is eaten than any other element, ext in weight comes potas- sium, about one-quarter ‘of nitrogen; then sodium and phosphorus, little more than one-tenth of nitrogen's weight; calcium at about one-fifteenth, magnesium at about one-fifteenth and last of all iron, weighing about one- thousandth part of the nitrogen. Nature’s supply of minerals in the common_ foods appears to be of con- stant volume. The latest report states that “the same Dieg menus, weighed out and analyzed in different years, showed rprisingly close agreement on_analysis Dr. McCann gives the credit for the work to Samuel H. Bassett and C. A. Elden, his assistants. An -MF shows that more mitro- BUS TERML JhedtiodLineSyslem.
