SEPTEMBER 21,.1939 TUs Red Cross' Colis Almost concident with the opening of hostilities ini the needless, un ustified and insane European,-war, the American Red Cross: sprung into action:to repair,,to what' extent it, may, the. damage being done to the bodies of men, -women. and children. Bandages and dr essings for the, wounded, combatants and noncombatants alike, and. clothing fer the refugees of ail warring, na- tions, are included in its first cali., The spectacle of this great humanitarian organization coming so promptly to the aid of suffering human beinga <whose lives, are being so rudely thrown out of joint, should inspire boundless pride in the heart of every American. Technically trained, superbly equipped and generously financed, it is ai- ways ready, as the present instance shows, for. the work for which it is maintained. It plays no favorites; it is spiendidly efficient; the blight of politics bas neyer touched it;, its job of' relieving mass distress is neyer it.appeais for neip. fl Will probably issue many of them in the' motiths to comne. Everyone shouid be' as ready to help as the Red Cross is to serve. Submarine Warfare' There is something about submarine war- fare that is distinctly repugnant te the mind Life insurance instilis the habit of saving. It makes it as neariy "painless" as i t can be. Saving is an important factor in our eco- nomic life. ýIt is. regrettable that more people. have not become set in the habit. One reason is that flot everyone knows how to take care of the money. earned during the active. years. of lite. Practicaily. every unhandicapped man and woman has earned enough to insure. financiai security in old age,-but the trouble is that they have.not known how toinvest and manage it, with the resuit that it bas been dissipated., The Souths Pole From descriptos we have read of Ad-' mirai Byrd's expedition to-the south pole, and of the desolate region thereabouts, we would not attach gréat importance to the question of who owns the ice fields there. But in recent years other nations have been sending expeditions down there to in- vestigate the resources of the area. It is reported that the waters are rich in whales. Aseam of coal sufficient for our needs for An American named Palmer is said to have first discovered the south pole in 1820. In 1840 Captain Wilkes of the U. S. navy made another exploration. Palmer Land is only 575 nautical miles from the tip of South America, and may or may not come within the scope of the Monroe doctrine, under which we have discouraged foreign colonization on this continent. Thé mystery -of how a great ma ny people get along iiithis old world has been partiafly3 clear-. ed by one of those scientist chaps who de-e claires that, hait a brain -is as good a a whole one.

Shore service station is exhibltlng a statue of a beau- tiful white horse, and offerlng a. generous quan- titY of firee gasôline, for the, best and most a p- propriate name for the "animal.", Interest. in the "white horse" Is growing, and with the growth corne in quiries which reveal a lamrent- able ignorance, concèerning the facts7 of life' as applied to horses. "What, kind of a horse, is this?" we have been asked. "A lady horse or a gentleman horse? Or do 'es it ma)<v auy dif- ference whether a name submitted be for a boy or a girl?" Deslring to be fortified3 with correct information we inspected the statue first and then the illustration in the advertisement. Our conclusion is that names most appropriate would be those for boys, because this horse is a' gentleman - a perfect gentleman. For the further information of those who, more's the pity, have been deprived of. farmyard experi- ence, the following on horse nomenclature is of- fered: A "stallion" is a horse in his natural physical state..
