DON’T LET ’EM jnever quits. All over the nation, in every city and in er the Roll Call Red Cross is a great organization of mercy, and it almost every hamlet, chapters are ready at a mo-| ment’s notice to send first aid, food and shelter to vic- tims of misfortune. We, of Seattle, all knew a lot about the Red Cross when the Great War was on. It was working out in front there) where all could see it. We saw its white-capped women—| volunteers—toiling at mountains of bandages and clothing for our boys. We saw our mothers and sisters, with the crimson emblem of mercy on their arms, meeting the troop trains night and day with food for the boys going to war or returning. We knew then that the Red Cross was a good thing, and we were proud to be enrolled in its ranks and to give our money support. But now, with peace here, the Red Cross has become, to a majority of people, a sort of invisible, intangible thing— invisible to all excepting the thousands of sick and needy which every year its nurses and workers are restoring to health and happiness. These thousands, coming into such direct contact with the Red Cross, know the mighty work which it is carrying on in these piping times of peace, They know that the Cross does not stop to inquire as to nationality or religion, If you need help, that’s enough for the Red Cross. But it costs money to do this, despite the fact that so much of the work is a volunteer labor of love. The Star wishes to remind you that it is plain, busi- ness to pay dues into the Red Cross. It’s one of the best | investments you can make to insure yourself and your com- munity against suffering in time of distress or disaster. They are calling the roll, Mr. and Mrs. Seattle Citizen.

They shoukt well as political equal. They should have an allowance at least, and not be ground down to almost begging for “pin money.” That's what @ lot of women believe. Yet the probabilities are that some millions of them have to do that very thing. And that brings one around to a discumion of just what “pin is and where the term originated. Fins were an invention of the 14th century. Yea, but the fellow who made them waa for some renson or other, allowed to sell them but on two days of the pear, the first Handmade, pins were high in price. None tut the wralthy could Duy thems And ft became a custom fer money to be given to women at their marriage to be used for the purchase of pins—just pin money. Pins grew cheaper, and the law fixing their date of sale was thrown eff, but the custom of calling it pin money, when small sums were given to women for personal expenditure, like the pins themselves, | stuck. Wives, real leaders of thought think, are entitied tn theve advanced days to much more than pin money. A fifty-fifty division would be more pearly the proper thing.
