PAY THE PREMIUM. ‘ BMBERSHIP fees in the Red Cross are pre- miums on the best and cheapest accident insurance policy that exists. Apart from the great sentimental value of Red Cross membership is all the logic of hard-headed business, the reasons which the accident insurance falesmen advance. Overwhelming disasters overtake great regions _ of the world from time to time. Fire, flood, earth- \ quake, wind, cold, all the elemental forces of Nature “act witliout human Iet or hindrance. No pgrson, no locality is immune. No man can tell whgn his urn may come. At such times the Red Cross steps in, At such times Red Cross insurance is better than any other sort of protection, - Other insurance is written in money. insurance is written in service. And at such times service is more precious than ‘ money. It saves lives. It gives physical relicf when that relief means life, without which money is so much trash. To do this efficiently the Red Cross must be strong and have adequate resources to move quickly and with adequate provision for all comlingencies. New York has been fortunate in escaping great disasters, but in the lesser disasters the Red Cross fhas proved its worth, The Red Cross dollar keeps the Red Cross prepared for any eventual The Red Cross dollar is group insurance in its ; Cheapest and most effective form, Pay the pre- i miwn on the policy.

N‘™ YORK'’S Irfterest In news rarely reaches higher pitch {Ian it did yesterday when The Eyening World made public the results of its own independent investigation following the Wall Street explosion of Sept. 16 last. Besides being the most noteworthy piece of re- porting this city has seen in many a day, The Eve- ning World’s story struck deep into underlying conditions of serious industrial and social signifi- cance, Li Brindellism bullied, oppressed and starved work- ers of Housewreckers’ Union, Local No. 95, Into an unreasoning, vengeful state of mind that might well lead individuals less balanced than thelr fellows to a murderous demonstration against any group ° ttrat seemed to represent their oppressors. Such a group were the Brindell foremen and workers engaged in tearing down buildings to make way for the Stock Exchange Annex at Broad and Wall Streets. No union can have compltte control over every one of its members. No union can follow the workings of mids frenzied by injustice and the sense of having nowhere to turn for help. Housewreckers Union, Local No, 95, could do nothing for those of its workers the all-powerful Brindell squeezed dry and then caused to be dis- charged to make way for men out of whose wages he could take fresh toll. Appeals to public author- ity brought no aid. Workers who had been liierally kicked and stoned out of their jobs and who found no redress from any source might naturally come to believe that every man’s hand was against thein, “The only way to keep men from agitating against grievances,” declared President Wilson in his message to Congress last December, “is to re- move the grievances,” The only way to keep mea from Bolshevism is to remove Brindellism. Capital has had to learn the lessons of a new at- titude and responsibility toward labor. It is. still learning them: But where ; under the lash of its own slave-drivers, there are alsa the oppression and injustice that make men see red. ie of capital or on the side of labor, Brindellism will Aways beget Bolshe- vists and bomb-throwers. Because Brindditism is the type of brutal ex- labor writhes, Whether found on the ploitation that sooner or later causes its victims to” lose taith in government or Jaw, In showing how a Brindell in the building trades can produce conditions out of which may come a ghastly outrage like the Wall Street The on explosion of Sept. 1G, ivening World has turned a new parchlight grounds itty ground with unspa: ans, President-elect surple for $24 Narding set to his countrymen 09 to the Li ng Fund worthy ¢ heck Chitd-} x sending a Digest in Senator Harding gift was large comp: neome, srosity uot a fel man.

Two motor cars, exactly alike, are sent out from the factory. One is purchased Ly a man who takes the trouble to learn how to care for it and runs sixty thousand miles before it begins to give way. The other falls into the hands of a man who knows nothing about the machinery afid cares nothing about it. And he is lucky if his car isn’t a mass of junk before it has run twenty thousand miles. Your body is a machine far more complicated than any automobile. Fortunately for you it doesn't need the same mechanical knowledge to operate it as is required by an automobile. For most of the machinery operates automatically, and “trouble’’ to you by pain or weariness, But unless you care for it all the time, and learn as much as you can about it, it will break down at most incon- venient times, and when it breaks down your usefulbess to yourself and other people instantly ceases, reports We do not advise people to study anatomy or medicine of their bodies, > a little knowledge is such a dangerous thing as in pedicine, , But we do advise you to learn the rules of health and observe them; to consult a doctor when your machine begins to show signs of breaking down, and follow his advice, By wise diet and plenty of exercise, and by follgwing the plain hygienie rules that healthy people ‘follow you can _make your machine good for fifty or sixty years of hard work that But if you neglect it, in order to take care for there is no place whe -and plenty of smooth and comfortable running after it will break down at the most unexpected and inconvenient time, and there is nothing so expensive to get fixed up ut the shop as the human machine, Take care of your body care of his car and you will live longer and happier and be and as the wise car owner takes of more valuc to yourself your family and the whole world than you will if you try to get all there is out of it at the least expenditure of time and trouble. i gory as your-| fought in ith “the poor-| for his se ignoramus has) Ufo—and 4 |placed in the « self ap shaldng t sportsmer jelaaeltied you ane Ww 2 stamp « Who has & better right to say what) zky on their brow, th n the boys _ \this country eh: vho went to France and suffered for! s tradition’?
