THE RED CROSS Tomorrow the final campaign of the year is to be launched on the campus. It is a campaign of interest to everyone, and it is especially appropriate at this time of year, when the Christmas spirit has such a firm hold on us. Christmas is essentially the season for giving, and the first gift of each student and faculty member of the university should be to the Red Cross. As individuals and as an institution we have made our contribu tions to all forms of war activities. Our last donation was to the United War Work, which included all kinds of war relief except the Red Cross. In France, the war is not over as far as the Red Cross is con cerned. There are millions of people "over there" who still look to the Red Cross for aid. There are thousands of wounded men still suffering, as many destitute families, hundreds and hundreds of hungry children whose wretchedness will be relieved, in part at least, by the Red Cross if you and I give our subscriptions. There is no one who will not enjoy his own Christmas more for having given a dollar to the only army in France which is still doing active duty. The "grand Christmas feeling" will not be able to assert itself if way back in our consciences we know that we have not dis charged our duty in contributing to this most democratic organiza tion of mercy. We are fighting the influenza here in our own country. With all the facilities that we have, we have not been able to cope with the situation. How much worse must conditions be in the war countries where even the necssities of life are wanting. Besides caring for the war sufferers the task of the Red Cross is greatly enlarged by the demands made upon it by the influenza epidemic. All you need to join the Red Cross, and to make your own Christ mas merrier thereby, is a "heart and a dollar." It makes you a member of the most worth-while organization in existence. This is the chance to show your real Christmas spirit. HAND GRENADES DOWN "O" IN A BATHTUB So Lieut. Van Dimple asked you to go riding with him last Sunday after noon, and you promptly accepted with pleasure, although you did not know whether you were to ride in a Pack ard twin-six or a trolley. Sunday afternoon came at last, and so did the lieutenant, on a modern war-horse a motorcycle. The motor cycle was equipped with a side-car which closely resembeld an immature bathtub and Van Dimple explained that you were to ride therein. How you effected your entrance into said side-car you do not know', but it must have been by means of a desper ate scramble, for some passers-by found it very amusing. Then you started. Your sensations were such as you imagine a meteor experiences in its mad rush thru infinite space. You raced wildly along turning dizzy corners, and hitting bumps with a ven geance. Your hat blew off, and ere your hero could rescue it, two ap proaching cars had run over it. After you had ridden for more than an hour. Van Dimple guided his charger down O street, during which procedure you pulled your battered hat down over your eyes in hopes that no one would recognize your dishevel led self, but, of course, you passed some of your most dignified friends. After "doing" O street quite thoroly, you again sped countryward.' Yes, you sped like unto the wind. Sudden ly you hit a rock which was Incon viently located in the center of the road. The motorcycle stopped, but you and Van Dimple did not, until you landed In a heap, quite black and blue. and your friend rapidly making the air blue. He seemed more concerned about the motorcycle than you, prob ably because of his intense patriot ism (the motorcycle belonged to his country) or probably Oh, horrible thought maybe because he would have to pay for the wreckage. And that's not all the next morn ing you looked in the paper, and saw the picture of you, Van Dimple and the motorcycle, with the startling headline "Prominent Couple Injured in Motor Cycle Accident." And when your folks at home saw that Oh, my! UNI NOTICES WOMEN GIVEN CHANCE FOR PATRIOTIC WORK (Continued from page 1) construction aides receive $50 per month and living and traveling ex penses. A head aide, who supervises the work of ten aides, is paid $65 per month in this country. For service abroad $10 per month is added to the figures indicated above. There is little liklihood of any more recon struction aides being sent overseas as the plan is to bring the wounded soldiers to this country and place them in 4he reconstruction aide hospitals, of which their are now about fifteen, most of them located near the eastern sea coast. The innocent must suffer with the guilty. All that is as nothing com pared with the life of a single Ger man soldier. General von Biasing. Above all, you must inflict on the Inhabitants of invaded towns the maximum of suffering. You must leave the people through whom you march nothing but their eyes to weep with. Bismarck.
