There is only one agency organized on na- | tional scale to provide efficient, ‘prompt | and adequate relief ‘measures. In every , town, village, county and city. in the United | States there are representatives of that or- ganization. At Washington and at other a | strategic points, that organization has ex- | perienced personnel ready to move into a |. disaster area on a moment’s notice. It has at its command army officers and men, doctors, nurses, trained relief workers. That agency is the American Red Cross. It stands alone in its field. It is) headed by the President of the United States and its officers are some of the most They give their time and their money to the cause of relief.

Armistice Day the Key West Chapter of the American Red Cross will open its annual membership drive. The goal is 1000 members in Monroe county. Most of the. money raised locally will be spent locally for the relief of the indigent. The chapter deserves and merits the unquali- fied support of every financially able citi- zen that the drive may be a success. WE ARE AMAZED The so-called human. race _ presents | many puzzles to the student of human nature, We are not so much amazed at the ignorance that prevails among men as we are at the unwillingness of normal men and women to use the brains that generous nature has provided. Number two, in our catalog of won- der, is the ease with which eomparatively ignorant persons give judgment upon peo- ‘ple, issues and events, It is often a revela- tion to listen to an ignoramus with a loquacious tongue! Number three, if anybody wants to know, is a composite of two capacities in the human specimens that we meet in all walks of life. We marvel at the capacity of the average men and women for good- ness and, at the same time, in awe, we shudder at their capacity for evil. If we proceed further along this line by giving you our fourth item we might be led into a long discussion of people ‘and that is not what we have in mind, There is undoubtedly a “number four” :but, just for fun, wé will let you figure it out for yourself, | : HERE’S TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE!
