THE RED CROSS—JOIN!
Dear Son:
I was gfed to get your postals of
various dates, expressing “thanx for
chex,” and trust that you have now
opened an account at one of the local
banx. As to sox, I can get them here
for two plunx; the silx good, and they
have clox—blax what you want, isn’t
it? I have ordered the evening shirt,
plain, without tux, and 1 will send
your cuff linx in time for the house
dance. The college magazine came, and
we all laughed over your limerix about
Prof. Pex specx and the bookx he
reads; but be careful about too many
disrespectful crax and reckless pranx,
for when a tendency to larx lax con
trol, it sometimes wrex a man’s stand
ing and keeps him in the lower ranx—
and you can’t afford any more llunx!
There isn’t much news. Grandpa’s
bax better, after two attax of lumbago;
my tonix helping me, and the boil on
Jax nex almost well. Dad says stox
are looking up. He speax to the Elx
in two weex, and I know he thinx
his speech will go on the rox, though
he says be doesn’t care shux. Dix
coaching him, and that bux him up.
Little Franx cheex are like roses, and
he is full of trix. He loox so cute
when he sneax out and unlox the back
gate and peex through and talx to the
little mix from one of the shax on
Clarkx lot. When they quarrel and
throw brix or hunx of mud. Dad pix
him up and spanx him, but he rox him
afterward.
The new coox as cross as two stix,
and smax the pup when he barx and
trax up the clean floor, but she worx
well, and planx shad wonderfully. Ole
Speckle has ten little chix with yellow
beax, and we have some cunning baby
dux. The flivver colided with one of
those big trux yesterday, and you should
see the marx! Nothing clix right and
we are using Shanx mare until repairs
are made.
It got some awful whax, and the tanx
all crax and nix, which may mean leax;
the cranx out of commission and the
sparx all wrong. After a life of shox.

I am sorry you wouldn’t ask your
cousin Althea to the prom, and frankly,
I think anyone is narrow who nox

were all hix. Althea is attractive;
though she isn’t the type of girl that

To the colleges of the country the
Red Cross looks for its trained leader
ship. The real importance of enrolling
college students as members is not
merely to obtain memberships from
among a particular group but to spread
a knowledge of the aims and objects
of the Red Cross and to arouse the last
ing interest of the young men and wo
men who are soon to become actors in
the public life of their communities.
The Red Cross now plays a prominent
part in the activities of pupils of the
high schools. Without intruding upon
the regular curricula, it encourages a
sense of citizenship and, through an
exchange of correspondence with schools
of the insular possessions and foreign
nations, a broader interest in knowl
edge. The introduction to Red Cross
work thus received in the secondary
schools is carried into the colleges,
where the annual Roll Call offers an
opportunity for beroming acquainted; sponded to the call of 62 disasters.
^ ^ . i.1. j-1, ~ t.o o/iu
with the program of tlie society.
As readers of news events, college
students know that the Red Cross has
been active everywhere in the past year
in promoting its general peace-time
activities and especially in relief work.
It now may be worth while to speak
of the part taken by Red Cross in al
leviating misery due to disasters and
to economic causes.
In those communities which face un
employment problems, the local Red
Cross Cliapter is either the center of
relief or is a leading agency in the re
lief organization.
By act of Congress, the Red Cross
has charge of the distribution of a
total of eighty-five million bushels of
government wheat to the needy, hand
ling its conversion into flour and its
shipping and distribution. Again by
federal law, it has added cotton to the
milling business to satisfy clothing
needs of the people in want.
During the year the Red Cross re-
Chief among these was the $2,266,000
relief program in six of the North
western States, giving aid to 266,000
sufferers. The Red Cross also handled
the relief and rehabilitation of 2,906
families suffering from the March
tornadoes in Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky. Altogether, the
Rod Cross expended $3,597,000 in ad
ministering to the needs of 77,500 fami
lies who suffered from natural calami
ties.
In the relief of the unemployed,
particularly in the mining areas and
industrial communities, the Red Cross
gave free seed for vegetable gardens to
300,000 families.
In considering this relief work, one
should not lose sight of the steady
service given^by the Red Cross in other
lines. Among these services is the
teaching of first aid and life-saving,
which has been given at many colleges
I over the country as supplemental to
I athletic work.
Let it be remembered that the Red
Cross annual Roll Call opens on Arm
istice Day, November 11, and ends on
Thanksgiving Day, November 24.

made by tlie Overseas Educational In

five full scholarships that it is offering
to deserving students for study
France, Germany, and Switzerland
A new development in modern educa
tional org_^.nization is revealed in the
program of the Institute, a school
which, in addition to preparing for
junior college and college entrance
quirements, presents the opportunity o
travel and associations with European
universities and the cultural advantages
to be derived therefrom.
The Institute provides its entire
year’s program of travel and study
abroad at a cost approximating an aver
age year at a preparatory school or
college, and through the medium of an
experienced faculty, offers a high stand
ard of scholarship. The majority of
the time abroad is spent between the
study centers of Grenoble, France, and
Bonn, Germany, and the remainder of
the time in excursion anil residence in
other important centers.
A complete social program is sponsor
ed by the Institute, as well as a re
creational requirement. In addition,
Grenoble, in the French Alps, is near
some of the great winter sports resorts
of Europe.
Further information pertaining to the
Institute may be procured at the per
sonnel bureau of this school. Requests

scholarships should be addressed to the
Ah, dear ones, the old gessip is with
you once again. Lift up your gently
swaying, swagging ears and listen, but
first you must be prepared to meet a

Among those who were skidded on their

Lloyd Johnson, of Sing Sing, Sir Willie
Cooper, of Elon Limited, and Duke Jape

Refreshment will also be served, and a
good time will be had by all.
