! ' j T.,r ,jC r.-v C- ,N PrEO GROSS AIDS FARMING IN ITALY Through efforts of the American Red Cross sclent (flu farming Is now being tnught tho younger generation of Italy, thus eliminating considerable wnsto nnd replacing old-fnshloned Im plements with modern American-made machinery. Schools of agriculture have been es tablished, nnd tho Department of Civil Affairs of the American Hed Cross, co-operating with a slmllnr Italian or ganization, known as tho "Comitate per gll Orfanl de Constadlnl Mortl In auerrn," has opened a school of farm ing, conducted by Snlcslnn Fathers, In fields Just outside tho Porta Furba, one of the historic gateways of Homo. The boys of tho school, all orphans of peasant soldiers, are given training in scientific nnd practlcn' farming, tho object being to strengthen their at tachment to tho soil, also to convert them Into good nnd Intelligent farm ers. Lectures and classroom instruc tion are accompanied by field work with modern tools under tho direct su pervision of the younger Fathers of tho Institution, who work side by side with the boys In the fields, teaching and demonstrating. BISHOP JOHN J. O'CONNOR TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL Bishop John J. O'Connor of Newark thus expresses his approval of the Ited Cross Christmas roll cull : "A citizen of the United Stntes enn offer no valid excuse for fulluro to en roll himself In the American Red Cross Society. An organization whose one great principle is humanity has the right to call all men to its standurd. j The Red Cross appeals to the common human in us. It alms at giving fine ' words, like sympathy and pity anil mercy, some prnctlcnl value. Tho world has waited n long time for an organi zation which could glvo to vague feel ings of sympathy wide, practical ap plication. The American Hed Cross fulfills every requirement of a brondly humunitnrinn association. It nccepts only universally admitted principles. It limits Its operations to no particu lar class. It sides with no pnrty. It nsks of Its members hut two things that they have pity on suffering wher ever found and that they havo the will to relieve misfortune. "Tho appeal of the Ited Cross for an increased membership should bo In sfnntly heeded. The man who falls to heed this call places himself outside the pule. He does not feel with his nntlvo land. lie Is not ono with his kind. Here Is our opportunity to Join In n work which gives to religion and Its teaching present value. Place your nnnies on the rolls of the American Red Cross." WHY AMERICA NEEDS CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL George E. Scott, general manager of tho Amcrlcnn Ited Cross, thus ex plains the necessity for tho Christmas Boll Call : "The response that tho people of the United StateB majio when the Christ mas Roll Call summons them to a uni versal membership In the American Ited Cross will, If that response Is na tion wide, nccoinpllHh theso things: "It will glvo exalted purpose and high resolve to the Soldiers and Sail ors of America. "It will glvo encouragement and re newed devotion to those who are work ing here at home. "It will glvo Inspiration and courage to those of our people who aro labor ing overseas." When the Soldiers Are Getting Well. The convulesccnt soldiers are being cared for In Italy by Uio American Red Cross. There aro sixteen hospitals al ready In operation nnd twenty-nine others In process of construction. At these hospitals, In addition to tho care of their wounds and their general health, the soldiers aro being taught useful trades. There aro typewriters, sewing machines and tools for cabinet nkmg at each hospllal, and tho sol . !s find thnt, In addition to supply- g them with u useful trade when ,iiey are well, the use of theso "toys" ives them hours of pleasure during (tie tedious period of getting welL mau-e IT UNANIM0U8. 101 T THE UNION STATION, WASHING TC D. C. out of mm RAGES RED GROSS MAKES ONE ONE of the greatest services which the Red Cross Is performing In this war Is the unification of tho mnn, races of which America Is com posed through tho Home Servlco, which, through Its 10,000 committees, Is looking after the welfare of the sol diers' families in every corner of tho country. America has always been called the Melting Pot, and truly, but the process has been slow. The war has accelerated It. The Indians of tho west, the negroes of the south, tho Ital- lans and Eastern Europeans of our In dustrial centers, the Mexicans of tho Southwest, Armenians nnd Swedes nnd Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland ers all aro now enlisted under one Hag, and were whole heartedly In tho war because It was America's war and they nre Americans. Thnt they feel this 13 patent to those who have seen and talked with theso men. Witness the Italian, who In tho assembly hall of ono of our mobiliza tion camps was waiting with a group of his fellows to take the oath of .al legiance. He stepped forward sudden ly with tears In his eyes nnd with a vivid gesture pressed a corner of the American flag that hung over tho desk In front of lilin to his lips. A group of native born soldiers who had been looking on with amused indifference broke Into applause and cheers. From then on these Italians were their brother Americans. Such work as this is valuable not only for the morale of the men; it Is binding the nation Into one organic whole as It has never been bound be fore. To give concrete expression to this unity the Red Cross plnns through Its Christians Roll Call, to be held the week beginning December 10, to In crease Its membership from 22,000,- 000 to the limit of available member ship. It wishes to give In this way no tice to tho world that every American, irrespective of creed or birth, stands squarely nnd uncompromisingly for the principles for which we have been lighting that America is one and In divisible pledged solidly for lmtor and mercy and good faith. SICK FOLKS HUSTLE FOR THE RED CROSS Through the National Tuberculosis Association and the Journal of the Out door "Life, Its official magazine, a cam paign Is being organized to get tuber culosis patients of tho country to en list every fellow "cure chaser" ns a member of the Red Cross during the coining Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. Special campaigns hnve been organ ized In nil of the largo sanatoria, of which there aro nearly GOO scattered throughout tho United Stntes. Efforts will be made to enroll ono hundred per cent. In each Institution and 'also to go after nil patients and enroll them ns well. Every patient In the sanatorium will bo responsible to get ono more patient. The movement will be n contribution of the tuberculosis patients of the country to the Red Cross. Slnco the National Tuberculosis As sociation and Its affiliated agencies are being supported by tho Red Cross through direct npproprlutlon during tho year 1919, this effort of the tuber culosis patients Is considered to be an unusually appropriate one. RED CROSS CARRIES TONS OF FOOD TO BELGIANS American Red Cross trucks are con stnntly In action along the Bolglun front. This report of the work of these trucks was recently received by the Commission for Helglum: "In tho Inst two weeks we handled 210 tons of foodstuffs and a lirge quantity of snlvaged material. "Wo have been saving the effecis ol people In the shelled towns, Fumes, Abeele, Coxyde, La Panne, Alveilng hem, Oost-Duhrlck, the Trapplst Farm, St. Jeanle-Hlezen nnd Renlnglu :st. On nearly nil occasions when work was In progress In tho Inst named II has been shelled, but fortunately with out Injuries to trucks or drivers." For Better Drinking Water. Because of the necessity for better drinking wnter In Italy tho American Ited Cross Is manufacturing a large number of water sterilizers and dlsln fectlng plants which ure to be turned over to the Italian military nuthorltlci at Rome and used according to theli discretion, -iiiiiiiiiiiinmiiii!iii.r..!!i';ii !;miiiimiu 5 1 ACROSS THE ROOF I By JACK LAWTON.

And h"ti the big rented room seemed unusually bore, Dflfn, with her hnppy xungttlne spirit, con-1 zrntuhited herself upon It 'skyMlght.' There were tiny", however, when the skyllfhtllght fntled to eompeinnte. I When thoo ivllectlmis threatened j to overcome her. Dora would arise i briskly t Unlit the roue "hnded lump j which was her comfort. "Silly." she would reprove herself, j "clooiiv'tg s-'sny, while thoe same young people aro envying your npiwr-! out royal road to fame and fortune: you should he grateful, my dear, grate ful as can be. thnt you enn sell sketches enough to almost pay yotu lodging." Dora did not mention payment, of food. Sometimes Dora's food was not worl!. mentioning. Paper bag meals j ns n rule, when she finished her draw- j lugs; a dinner or two us celebration wiien the checks came In. And working feverishly, snvlng much heat j lng. saving altogether too much food, It was not strange thnt the ambitions' girl awakened one morning to find i herself 111. on the cnnioullngcd bed, which passed day times as n gorgeous couch. Dora wondered weakly, concernln? the problem of meals which she would be unable to prepare. then,gnveup the problem In n lony and dreamless sleep, When again her gray eyes opened shadows stretched across tho room while over the sloping roof beneath her window, came a stream of light from an opposite apartment. Dora liked to look Into the brilliant rooms of this luxuriously appointed apartment building towering above the old shabby house. Almost It was like gazing upon the Ftage of a theater, gaily dressed wlomen passing to nnd; fro. men too. Idling about the long, smoking room. One who came and went among them had the appearance of a distinguished nctor. Dora liked his fresh line youthM face beneath Its crown of strangely white hair. Suddenly from the graveled roof be, neath her window, a round nnd furry bnll came lenplng over the sill. Dorn leaned forward listening, until with a coaxing whine a small white dog stood beside her cot, putting forth a friend ly paw. Delightedly tho girl caught tho ani mal In her nrms. "You dear little thing" she mur mured, then all at onco Dora's nrm lay still. Anxiously tho dog's moist nose sniffed Inquiringly nt her white out stretched arms, onco or twice nn eag er tongue lapped at her unrospons'va face, then hack over the sill and ncross the roof rushed the furry body. The handsome mnn of tho whlt hair had Just settled himself for an evening smoke. Before lowering tha window shade he had looked across the roof toward a window that was darkened, and when ho leaned back In his chnlr It was as with an nlr of disappointment. "You rjlsenl," he greeted the doq which scrambled panting to his knee "playing lruant again, eh?" But Fluff was In no mood for pot' ting-. Fiercely she caught at the man's sleeve, running a few stops from hltr she barked back nppoallngly. "Whnt the dickens" frowned the man, It was evident that the dog waf entreating him to follow. Doctor Wilton decided to obey tin animal's whim. Ills mother's raising. of Fuff had made the little creatun In some ways almost human. ! The doctor followed through tin French door to the apartment roof. lit hesitated as Fluff bounded across that other roof, then whimsically continued the chase. Disappearing over tho sill of Dora's window the dog still unmistakably called to" him from Inside. In that one shnft of light tho doctoi saw- a girl's white upturned fnco tin girl's face ho caught his breath. How often ho had seen the same sweel features framed In the old house win dow. . When tho doctor lighted tho gas Dora raised slowly her dark fringed lids. "Anything to cat today?" he asked his fingers on her pulse. It wns too much troublo to reply sc the young artist shook her head. "Or yesterday?" asked the doctor Dora smiled wnnly. "Yesterday U too far away to remember." Her eyej fell upon tho now Joyous Fluff. "Oh !" she murmured, "you enmo foi your dog. He visits mo sometimes You don't mind?" The mnn smiled down upon her. "Ho wns oven nicer'," Dora consid ered, "when ho smiled." It wns strung! thnt she had learned his fnco so welL Sho wns sure thnt she cotdd sketch from memory Its every line. "I did not come for tho dog," Dnvld Wilton said gently. "I enme for you I hnve a mother over In that building who hns only Fluff upon which to lav Ish her cure. It striken me thnt yon need somo enre yourself. My mothei will delight In giving It." Suddenly stooping ha lifted Dorn'i light weight In his nrms. Before tin roof door of the aportmcnt building hi paused. "Of course, this Is nil a dream," tin girl murmured, "because I have so of ten wished to be over here." "Sometimes our dreams come true, said tho man, and as he lookod down upon her Into his cyta cams a light oj w- SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES The tight place for Liberty Bonds, securities or other uiltinblo papers is in otic of our Safe Deposit boxes.
