U. S. RED GROSS

IS TRANSFORMED TO PEACE BASIS Epoch Marked in History of Society Reconstruction Problems to Be Handled. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 3. Today marked an epoch in the history of the American Red Cross. Transformation of the organization from a war to a neace basis became effpetiva when Dr. yMngston Farrand, formerly president of the University of Colorado, who was recently appointed by President WllHon as the executive head of the Red Cross, assumed his duties as chairman of the central committee and the war council, which has guided the organization for almost two years, terminated Its existence. With the . retirement of the war council of the American Red Cross there passes Into history a body of men whoso labors in behalf of tho United States during two of the most critical years of the nation's existence constitute a record of patriotism and sacrifice that forms one of the most startling chapters in tho country's war achievements. Tho services these men rendered to their country through the medium of tho Red Cross now being at an end, they are preparing to return home and take up the vooations and businesses dropped in the spring of 1917 when the first call to arms brought them to Washington to offer their abilities and experience to the nation. While their war services as members of the Red Cross war council are ended some of the men who composed It are to remain with the organization as members of the executive committee. Huge Organization Arista Events throughout the world have moved rapidly in the last two years, no place more so than in the American Red Cross. Under the guidance of tho war council the American Red Cross has grown in that period from a domestic relief organization to one whose sheltering arm now encircles a largo part of the globe, from an or ganization with less than half a million members and 562 chapters to one with a membership of close to 20,)00,000 in nearly 4.000 chapters. From national headquarters in Washington ?ha war council directed the work of the more than 8.000,000 volunteer wo-1 men workers, whose labors in tnousands of Red Cross workrooms contributed so much to the comfort of our fighting men and the wining of the war. Probably the most remarkable achievement of the war council was I he organization of the money and membership drives through which the American people contributed more 'han $300,000,000 to the Red Cross in less than one year, by far the greatest 'um ever contributed by any nation lor a humanitarian purpose. The generosity of the American people enabled tho war council to put through the most stupendous relief program In the world's history. The diplomatic, political, economic and other problems mcountered by the war council in ex- ; ending through the American Red :ross the help of the American people o all parts of tho earth may easily be Imagined. President Wilson, as president of the merican Red Cross, appointed the .var council on May 10, 1917, about flvo weeks after the United States entered 'he war. The original members were Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co., New York, chairman: Charles D. N'orton. vice president of the First National bank, New York; Maj. Grayson McP. Murphy, vice president or tne Guaranty Trust company, New York; Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr.. of Bliss, Faban & Co., New York; Edward N. 'lurley, manufacturer and capitalist, Chicago; former President Taft and :iiot Wftdsworth of Boston, the two tter as chairman and vice chairman f the central committee of the Red iJross, exofficio members. War Council Changes The personnel of the war council 'as undergone several changes, but hroughout its existence Mr. Davison 'ias continued as chairman. Of the iripinal members President Wilson lrafted Mr. Hurley to head the United Jtates shipping board. Maj. Murphy resigned to go into active army service, ind Mr. Norton withdrew because of he demands of personal affairs. These vacancies were filled by the appointment of John D. Ryan, president of he Anaconda Copper company, Butte. Mont: Harvey D. Gibson, president of the Liberty National bank. New York, ind Oorge B. Case of the law firm of White & Case, New York. Subsequently Mr. Ryan and Mr. Gibson reigned and their places were filled by Tease H. Jones, business man and banker, Houston, Texas, and George 'Z. Scott, vice-president of the American Steel Foundries of Chicago. All these men served the Red Cross ind their country without pay. They iald their own expenses while la Washington and while traveling in the interests of the Red Cross. A majority of the members were men of large financial and commercial interests and their private business have seen little of them since they entered the service of their country. All their energy and combined ability has for two years been directed toward placing the merican Red Cross squarely behind the United States and her allies in their every undertaking. Under the direction of the war council the American Red Cross has backed the American fighting men at every turn, leaving nothing undone to supply the supplemental comforts which the government was unable to provide, while at the ame time offering the services, comfort and. where needed, the substantial aid of the organization, to the families of our soldiers, sailors and marines.

A Woman's Bii si ness By Zoe Beckley

THE BUSINESS PATH Following the dinner at which Janet Stedman met the various men and women she was to work among, her courage sagged. Not on her own count, but on her husband's. Janet's heart ached with love and the pity to which love ia akin when she thought of Walt at that dinner, How splendid he had looked-bow handsome, bow "thoroughbred," how big and strong and capable. Yet no one had noticed bim. She, Janet, had been the eenter of attention she who was to be director-in-chief of the feminist magazine, "Woman" Even Roy Nieoll, its owner, had been overshadowed a hit, for, given a aituation in which a man and a woman have equal prominence, the woman will catch and hold popular attention every time. Janet longed to have Walt, share in her opportunity. But it seemed he could pot. For the moment at least he was in the unenviable position of "mere husband." His success must be worked out laboriously, slowly perhaps, along the steep path of authorship. While Janet had her work her success even- laid ready to her hand. "Waltle, dear old lad she said, perching on his chair-arm, where she could watch his face without her own being seen, "I can still turn back. 1 may not be big enough to swing this Job after all. If I am to succeed I shall have to work terribly hard. Only half of me will belong to my home and to you. I somehow feel" But he would not let her finish. He laid down his old pipe and drew her face to his own, holding her firmly while he answered with all his wonted energy and resolution, "Hush, girl! T Innw what vmi n'nnt tn lutv Tjp.t ill hava n nlosaf unH Cretan H In ff at 4ha I start, Jan, that you must feel nothing but perfect freedom in this undertaking. "You have gone into it, now give it your whole heart, your best thoroughness. If I do not flinch from the situation, surely you should not. And I do NOT flinch from it, Janet. I welcome it. If this man Nicoll can give you a greater chance at self-employment and usefulness to the world than I can at present, anyhow let him do it! I'll meet his challenge, dear. Have no fears for me." "But suppose I have to go away make trips to places on business for (he magazine? How can I leave-- " "Listen, my girl. One is either a business woman or one is not Salaries are not paid for ability alone. They are paid quite as much for dependability. When a man is ordered to go somewhere on business for his firm, he goes without excuse or delay. His chief knows the business will be put through. A man is paid because he Is reliable as well as capable. Why should a woman be different? "I shouldn't want it otherwise, Janet. You must be like a little fire-horse with your harness ready to fall into position at any moment, ready to junftp and run," he laughed "Don't you know why women are paid, less than men are, even for doing the same work? It ia because as a class they are not as dependable. "A girl goes into business as a stopgap between school and marriage. Three years 1b the average 'life' of a woman in the business world. Only a few stay longer. Still fewer go at That Eight-inch Law T?y Associated Pr9 INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. March 3. Where is the provision in the Indiana election law supposed to require that eight inches of the legs of the voters be visible to members of the election board while the voter ia in the booth marking his ballot? "Yes it is in there," said L; W. Henly, secretary of the Republican state committee, when he was asked whether he had ever read it. He said he could not tell off-hand where the provision is. "They tell me it is in tho law, that is all I know," answered Jesse Eschbach, speaker of the house and a member of the legislature since 1907, when he was asked concerning it. "I have heard that there was such a provision in the law," said Win'field Miller, of Indianapolis, an attorney, who is a member of the election committee of the house. "In fact members of the committee have discussed the importance of amending the law to remove this feature which they felt would be objected to by women, given presidential suffrage by the legislature. Mr. Miller and other members, who examined tho election law, thus far have been unable to find the provision. The only thing that they have found relating to the subject is the provision for the booth being hung in such a manner that the members of the election board can tell there is not more than one voter in the booth at a time. They are of the opinion that the impression that the "eight inch" provision is in the law results from the custom of hanging the curtains so that they will be eight inches or more from the floor of the booth. , Dr. Vinton' VINT-O-LAX "Purple PUIt for Liver Ills' CONSTIPATION 10 ..J2So.it.

Let'a both be good, enough sports to live Up to it, Remember what you wrqte me once about Lucy Benton? How you said you were willing to share me to every reasonable extent with the people of my world? Well, dear, I am willing to share you, too It' your work demands It" The words and the way Walt said them thrilled Janet to the core of her warm heart At that moment she felt she loved him more than ever before. The maternalneas that throbs at the soul of every woman rose powerfully in her now. She yearned to assure Walt over, and over of her love and loyalty; to promise any and everythingtaking no thought of how impossible promises sometimes are to keep- She wished she had the magic to summon success to bis feet; to do for him what he waa bo willing to do for her, She wiggled round from the chairarm into Walter's lap and snuggled on his shoulder. "You old lamb!" she whispered a little tremuously into his neck. "If I ever do anything to make you sad, Waltie, I ought to hang for it!" (To be continued.)

CHILDREN'S CODE TO BE ADOPTED . BY MISSOURAfJS

(By Associate Press) JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March S. Welfare organization in this and other countries and state and government officials are closely watching the progress of the "Missouri Children's Code,' now before the state legislature. The code of fifty-one child welfare laws drawn by a commission appointed by Governor Gardner, is said to be the most complete ever offered for legislative action, Proponents express confidence of its enactment. Enactment of somewhat similar codes repealing old laws, revising others, and containing new regulations is being sought in many states by the National Committee for Standardizing Children's Laws, which has the support of the National Child Labor Committee. But nothing has been attempted on so broad a scale and the outcome in Missouri is awaited as somewhat of a test case, according to Lucile B. Lowenstein of the Missouri commission. The code provides for support of children born out of wedlock; raises the age of consent to 16 years; establishes the marriage age at 15; abolishes common law marriages; provides for extradition of child deserters; provides for punishment of adults responsible for child delinquency; establishes a state home for dependent children; establishes a bureau for mental defectives at the University of Missouri to serve courts, schools in institutions in examination of defectives, and provides special classes In public schools for feeble-minded, deaf, blind and crippled children. Marriage of feeble-minded and epileptics would be prohibited. The codes of the labor section prohibits employment of children under 14 year in any occupation unless an employment certificate has been obtained except during vacation periods. Boys over 12 years old and girls past 18 could engage in street trades if licensed and supplied with badges after special examinations. Children under 16 could not be employed more than 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week, and children under 21- could not work as night messengers. Special permits would be required for children under 16 working under-ground, on power machinery, or on the stage. Completion of the eighth grade would be necessary before employment certificates were issued, and the compulsory school attendant agej would be raised to 16, unless - ud GRANDMOTHER KNEW There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds as Mustard But the old-fashioned mustard-plaster burned and blistered while it acted.
