The Double Barred Cross

be recognized almost "as widely as the
square emblem' of the American Red Cross.
This form of cross, first -admired 'in 1QO?
by me International Conference on Tuberculosis in
Berlin as an emblem of the fight against the great
white plague, has an interesting history. From the
ninth century to this day the double barred cross
has been the emblem of the eastern or Greek branch
of the Christian church. It was adopted by. the Duke"
of Lorraine, a leader of one of the "first crusades,
as his standard when he was elected Christian ruler
ol Jerusalem in 1099. It is still known in France as
the Lorraine cross. The Masonic order has also
used this cross in various ways for many centuries,
similar adaptations also having been used for cen
turies by religious, political and fraternal organiza
tions. During the World War one of the divisions
of the American Expeditionary Forces used the Lor
raine cross for its shoulder insignia. '
The National' Tuberculosis Association adopted
this cross as its emblem 'in 1906, and in 1920 secured
its registratiin as a trade mark. For 30 years mil
lions of impressions on Christmas seals, billboards,
booklets and newspapers have gone far and wide to
win one of the greatest victories ever achieved for
saving human lives. Since 1907 the use; of the penny
seal bearing the double barred cross has saved an
estimated 2,500,000 lives. '
Thirty years ago one person in every 60 in the
United States had tuberculosis, today the figure is
one in 200. But, despite all modern science, tuber
culosis is still' a menace and a mystery. Christmas
seals now help in the fight to the extent of $4,500,
000 annually. Every man, woman and child with a
penny can join this marching army. The following
story is told of the first time the sels went on sale,
sponsored by the North American, a Philadelphia
newspaper:
A ragged newsboy seeing the stamps for sale,
reached up to the counter which was above his head,
jam down a copper and said, Gimme one, me sis
ter's got it." ,
As later told, a news reporter commenttd, "That
settled it. If a street kid could get the message, the
message was the kind needed." Next, day the whole
editorial space of this great newspaper carried the
plea for people to "buy these bullets in the battle
against our wqrst foe."
Three-fourths of, the proceeds of seals sold in Ma
con county is retained for immediate use to help suf
ferers in our midst. It will be a happier Christmas
for all in our community if every package and letter
bears this symbol of "Good will toward men."
