Famed Indian Scouts of Arizona Share Memory of Glorious Past These famous Indian scouts stationed at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, were originally mustered into army units shortly after the Civil war. The government no longer recruits these scouts as there are only seven left. When they retire and are discharged this once famotis organization will be only a memory. Today the members of the detachment are performing valuable service as reservation range and fire guards. Many tales have been told of the bravery of Imlian scouts attached to regular army units. Corporal Jim Lane, TJ. S. army scout, second from right, shakes Wands with John Rope (Black Larriet) retired U. S. army scout, iu'ho tells of the many battles in which he has fought. ( private Andrew Paxson is T>n scaling a dangerous peak or a better look-out. Sgt. Sinew L. Riley typifies the eyes and ears of Indian scouts in this century. ...... A.....» (These grizzled Indian features make a very interesting picture, ,eft to right: Corporal Jim Lane, John Rope and Kassey Y-32. These Intlian scouts are filing up the mountainside looking for lything that looks like trouble—for brush fires, and so on. Prhutes William Major and Andrew Paxson look for suspicious ivements from lofty peak of Huachuca mountains. PREPAREDNESS b + **• AMERICAN RED CROSS Two million volunteer Red Cross workers—a militant army of mercy. GIVING a pint of blood for the army and navy is a new form of patriotism in which thousands of loyal Americans are now par ticipating. This blood, processed into life saving plasma for emergency transfusions, is collected from vol unteer blood donors at 18 Red Cross Blood Donor centers. The program was launched in February, 1941, following a request by the surgeons gen eral of the army and navy that the Red Cross provide 15,000 pints of blood to be processed into dried plasma. This pro gram has now been expanded at the request of the army and navy to the point where over one million donors will be re quired. Eighteen centers have been opened, and donations are pouring in at the rate of approximately 60,000 a month. Giving blood is a simple proc ess, requires but a few minutes time on the part of the donor, and has no after effects. The blood is shipped daily in refrigerated containers to the laboratories, where it is processed into dried plasma, a light, straw colored powder that can be kept indefinite ly and transported easily. Numerous cases have been reported where plasma saved the lives of American soldiers and sailors suffering from burns and traumatic shock, and Red Cross plasma has been distributed to our armed forces operating in the Atlantic and Pacific war theaters. How ever, thousands of additional donors are needed to supply the full requirements for the army and navy, and to provide plasma for any civilian emer gencies which may result from enemy action in this country. Red Cross Blood Donor centers are located in New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Roch ester, N. Y., Indianapolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Boston, Mil waukee, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and Washington, D. C. (Prepared exclusively for WNU.)

Partners in Nature One of the strangest partner ships in nature is that of the yucca plant and the yucca moth, which cannot live without each other, says Collier’s. The plant is fer tilized only by pollen that is brought to it by this insect, and the insect’s larvae are able to sur vive only on food furnished by this plant. Incidentally, the moth spends the daylight hours within the closed blossom, as both are nocturnal. 15706 pieces — forming smart shoulder yokes at the top, gathered at the waist for a flattering fit and drop ping the skirt line—as well as the low vee neck. From the point of this neck to the hem is a long straight line which draws atten tion to your height rather than your width! Graceful sleeves which just cover the elbows are suggested for this frock when it is intended for more formal wear. A glance at our picture tells you that here is a dress of distinction yet it can be made without any special effort and is just as ef fective in lovely soft cottons as it is in silk or rayon crepes. • • * Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1541-B is de signed for sizes 36, 38. 40, 42. 44. 46, 48, 60 and 62.
