Protecting the Good Name of the Red Cross ,:The name of the Red Cross is being used in a reprehensible manner by unscrupulous civilians

and by some returned soldiers. Discredit should not - attaqh to the Red Cross because these men are engaging in "practices" that are dishonest. v Recently it. was reported that ,a man representing himself as an agent of the Red Cross said he could obtain the release of a soldier if the parents paid him $200. " Fortunately, when this despicable man- returned A or more money from his victim, the latter- informed the police and the man wa3 arrested. This occurence did not take place in Wayne county, but some parents here believe the Red Cross, by means of money, can obtain the discharge" of soldiers. This is an error The Red Cross will assist in obtaining the

release of a soldier on grounds laid down by the! war department? but this service is free and any man who says he is an agent of the organization and can secure a soldier's discharge by money is a swindler, whose name should be reported to the police at once.' Any soldier can obtain a release, free of cost, provided the grounds for the action come within the regulations set out by the war department for the release of the fighters. Soldiers in uniform selling souvenirs on the plea that they are.engaging in this work through the Red Cross are misrepresenting facts. "It is not necessary for any uniformed soldier to resort to peddling as a means of earning his living", says a bulletin of the Red Cross. "Every case of this: sort should be looked into by the Home Service workers." "

Kin this connection attention is again called to the,;work of the Home Service workers. They are willing to assist every soldier in need or wanting advice as how . to ; proceed with compensation claims or petitions for vocational retraining. The -Red Cross is admirably adapted to handle these cases. It has experienced workers who know how to proceed, and how act. Soldiers are urged to take their troubles to Red Cross headquarters in the court house. The Red Cross, Elks, Y. M. C. A. and other

organizations are all assisting in the task of see- ; xi.x. j u: 1. it..,'.

compensation claims, take advantage of vocation-

come out during the next few nights. " During the next few days, tree trunks, bushes, and chunks will be thickly studded with cast pupa skins. "The period during which the cicadas do damage to trees by splitting the branches to deposit eggs will not begin for ten days or so. Within that period, it will be easily possible for the individualorchardist or farmer to determine whether or not the insects are present in sufficient numbers to make protective measures necessary. The one sure means of protecting young trees, the entomologists say, is to place a bag over each tree. Sprays and similar measures have not been found particularly effective. "The entomologists of the department of agriculture are undertaking a series of cicada studies in connection with this emergence to determine some points not, fully investigated heretofore. Additional experiments will be made with sprays. A great deal of additional illustrative material will be gathered, particularly photographs of the activities of the insects during the night. A series of night studies will be made, also, to determine just when and under what conditions the insects emerge from the ground."

What is the Cost of a Cloud? What is the cost of a cloud? '

What did the rainy weather of last week cost the farmers and business men of Wayne county ? What did it mean to the housewives, eager to complete their spring housecleaning, beat their rugs, wash their lace curtains? ' No one can estimate the exact cost. Speculation would put the figure way up in the thousands. In some of the large cities efforts have been made at arrive at an approximate estimate. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says the light bills and the business loss on a cloudy day are heavy. It presents the following discussion: "In a city like Philadelphia tens of thousands of electric lights are turned on when the sun is blanketed and there are murk or somber skies because of the dark clouds. Electric light means more use of coal and coal means money and the money comes from the public's purse when the electric light bill comes in. "Someone figured that a rainy day cost New York an unconscionable amount of money. Women, he explained, disbursed 85 per cent of the money earned by men. On rainy or dark days

they remained indoors mostly. Store sales were j curtailed, traffic reduced and nearly every class and character of business was affected adversely. ; Theaters, movie shows, ball games and general: amusements suffered seriously. "There is a good deal of truth in this. However, . there are some lines that are . benefited.

Persons buy more umbrellas, overshoes, raincoats

and such articles. Strange to say, some depart-

ment store people declared their rainy-day busi-

- . - r ness was quite sr. ..factory, many women choosthem in every conceivable manner.

I because they had better opportunity to make sevork will be expedited as much as possible. The;, , . f.

service secretary of the Y. M. C. A. will be glad to see that returned soldiers obtain work. He has a list of places that are open in the Richmond

factories and business houses. The Elks are sending the boys to the Red Cross headquarters to .file their compensation claims and petitions for. retraining. . All the agencies m Wayne county that are cooperating to help the returned soldiers hope that the men will take advantage of the facilities offered them by the government. If the soldiers, sailors and marines will get in touch with these organizations many of the perplexing problems

that are giving them concern will be adjusted. It will be admitted that the Red Cross cannot execute its great mission of Home Service if the soldiers themselves will not let- it know of their troubles and problems. - Federal Entomologists Report Arrival of "17-Year Locusts" "After 17 years underground, the periodical cicadas '17-year locusts' of Brood No. 10 are coming out," says a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture. "They began emerging in considerable numbers last night. The great swarms will

the electric light people have watchers stationed ; night and day to search the skies. At the first!

sign ol approaching storm or dark clouds the word is passed to the great power houses, and the firemen get busy shoveling coal, so the Edison people will be able to give all the light New York needs."

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAI LY TALK YOUR PASSENGER COACH Everyone carries around with him what I want to term as his "Passenger Coach." In our heart of hearts, germinate the ideas and ideals that make us what we are that stamp our personality into our work and upon our friends and into the activity of the world. As a man thinks, and as a man does so is he. The people whom you love in your heart,-you live for in your life. And all the numberless associations which you have allowed to lnflu ;. ence you directly, become a part of your secret character, and it is your' secret character which always, sooner or later, becomes your public character. Who are those whom you carry around in your "Passenger Coach?" It is well to meditate upon those whom you are allowing to shape your dally career the people who sit in the seats to the coach drawn by your own individual power. ' .- - - ' - Many of us are carrying around useless passengers people who are having no direct influence for good, upon our lives. Many of these are riding upon "free passes." How inspiring the thought to feel that the Passenger Coach, which we draw, Is filled with those whose desire in the world is to be of moment, to be of service and of use just to think that the people whom we lead with us, think with us, work with us believe with us ! Who are you carrying around in your "Passenger Coach?" It is Impossible for any man or woman to come in contact with another individual without being influenced one way or another, by that person. The mind is a plastic thing. Character is" a composite. People who shape you, make you. If your "Passenger Coach" is filled with those whose purpose in the world is to make it and leave it a little better than they found it, you who carry them within your love and desire are sure to reap benefit and reward. . A great tennis player once told me that he always sought to play with his superior at the game. Let us play with those in our little lifegame who spur us to better effort and to bigger heights.

Speaking of Books

.'-.rrifctir.j, foj-o..- Monitor. IT is a hundred years this tconth since Washington Trving's ' Sketch Book," containing the lasting creations of Rip Van Winkle and Ichabcd Crane, appeared. , "The Sketch Book" was written in England and published serially In America, winning immediate success on both sides of the ocean. It appeared anonymously, and was at first attributed to Scott. As some of the chapters1 were printed in London, without Irvlng's permission, he found it necessary to protect himself by publishing in England. He offered ttie sketches to John Murray, who civilly declined them. Encouraged by Scott, Irving undertook the publication at his own risk. Later, Murray was' glad to have the honor, to say nothing of the profit, of bringing out the work of an American author. He purchased the copyright for $1,000, which, with his customary liberality toward authors, he later generously raised to $2,000. Irving became the lion of the, time. He was the moat desired guest at the best London houses. He had the pleasantest relations with the literary lights of the kingdom "and formed lasting friendships with many. All his life he was singularly free from vanity; even after he had becdme famous in many countries he continued to be doubtful as to the reception of his la test work. When the applause over "The Sketch Book" was so great, he wrote to a friend. "I feel almost appalled at such success, and fearful that It cannot be real, or that it is not fully

merited, or that I Bhall not be able to act up io the expectations that may be formed." Born only a few months before General Washington entered New York upon its evacuation by the British troops, Irving's mother named him after the victorious leader. Six years later, when 'Washington had become the President of the young republic, a Scottish servant of the Irvings followed him into a shop, and, pushing the boy toward him said, "Please, your honor, here's a fcair was named for you." Washington laid his hand kindly on the head of his future biographer. "The Life of Washington" is Irving's greatest historical work. Some of the pleasantest things to recall about this author are his unselfish devotion to his relatives, and his love for children. A great part of Irvlng's life was spent In England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Holland, but, although he had all these backgrounds and experiences from which to draw, he chose, as locale for his two best known legends, his native town. ' He took the Catskills, the mountains over which' he had wandered as a boy, for the haunt of his old vagabond. Rip Van Winkle. There was scarcely a foot of territory there unfamiliar to the author, and it 1b the accurate local coloring which gives the legend its marvelous verisimilitude. It was Warner who said of "Rip Van Winkle:" "How simple it is. A less artist" would have dressed it up and overloaded it with a thousand fanciful elaborations." : - -

Early school teaching in Wayne county and Indiana was sometimes

practically a continuous war between !

the teacher and the larger boys. One of the universal practices was that of compelling the teacher to treat on holidays. The first move toward a treat was to bar the teacher out. If he arrived at school before the pupils he was seized end overpowered by the larger boys, and hazed until he surrendered. Sometimes he was thrown into a neighboring pond or creek. Horrible as it may seem, whiskey was the universal treat In the earlier

schools, and the story is told jf the teacher, who seeing his children with

Canon Cureton was to preach at the Abbey on a certain saint's day when the boys of Westminster school attended services and afterward has the rest of the day as a holiday. Mr.Curetoji was looking over his sermon when his son asked anxiously, "Father, is your sermon very long?" . "No Jimmy; not very long?" "But how long?" "Well, about twenty minutes, I should say. But why?" "Because the boys said they would thresh me if you were more than half an hour."

medicine to relieve nain and also to

Smith, 419 N. Pine St., Indianapolis. "When I started to take Pepgen the pains in my back were almost unendurable, besides almost everything I ate caused indigestion. I had very little strength and felt as if I was bordering on a general break-down. "Nearly every night I went to bed with a severe headache. "My husband suggested that I try Pepgen. That very day I had read the statement of a woman whose troubies seemed to be similar to mine, who said that Pepgen had relieved her. I didn't have much faith in it. however, I decided to try it. "The first benefit I received after taking Pepgen was the absence of headaches. And then the pains In my back gradually became less severe until they disappeared. "I could go to bed with the assurance that I was going to get a good nights rest and get up feeling fine in the morning. I am now eating heartily and do not have indigestion afterwards. "I advise every person who has stomach trouble, or who is annoyed by headaches or pains in the back to try Pepgen." Pepgen is a tonic supreme.
