Communities that have not known sweeping disaster have no idea ®f what the timely aid given by this great organisation means. Whether it be the unhappy victims of a world war, of a West Indian hur ricane, of a Galveston flood, a San Francisco fire or a Japanese earth quake—the Red Cross is always ready to give them aid and usually is the first on the scene. A dollar will make you a member of this preeminent agency of mercy, whose roster is indeed a roll of honor.

Armistice or Pea c e. • / Another Armistice Day has been celebrated, the eleventh milestone passed since the guns ceased to boom on the battle fronts of the World War. So great was the relief felt by the whole world when hostilities were stopped on November 11, 1918, that the day has become one of the notable landmarks of history. But “armistice” does not mean peace; it only means “a temporary sus pension of hostilities, by agreement” —a truce. When the Germans agreed to the terms of the armistice submit- hy Marshal Foch it was not cer tain that war was really over. A peace treaty had to be formulated, this was not signed until June 28, 1919. y t . So, while the armistice marked the end of actual fighting, peace was not officially established until the ^eter date. Even then the vexing problems arising from the war seemed almost baffling. In fact, it was only during the past year that the terms of ’final settlem ent were agreed upon and the amount of German reparations fixed. Y the first time, then, Armistice r, 1929, saw the end of parleys over Mttlements. Let us hope that it not only an armistice, but the of an era of lasting peace. Wanted a Safe Job. ' rapid has been the progress of and invention in the past few that many are wondering where Ones in a For several weeks America h«s been h'onored by a visit from the greatest woman scientist the world has ever known, Mme. Marie Curie, of Paris, who with her late husband, Pierre Curie, discovered radium in 1898. These great souls scorned to profit by their discovery, and gave it to the public for the benefit of humanity. Much of their epochal work in phy sics and chemistry was performed with meager equipment; in fact, the husband never had an adequate lab oratory up to the time of his death from being struck by a truck in 1906. But he had risen to be chief profes sor of physics at the Paris University, and hfs wife succeeded him in that position in 1908. She finally acquired a suitable laboratory, but during the war gave all her precious radium to the government, so that at its close she wa s without any of the rare sub- stance. In 1921 her friends and admirers in America bought a gram of radium and presented it to her together with a sum of money. She gave the radium to be used at the Curie Institute of the University of Paris, and with the income" from the money she rented another gram for the cancer hospital of Warsaw, Poland, her birthplace. During her present visit her friends have given her a second gram of radi um, which will go to Warsaw to re place that which hag been rented. Mme. Curie has never had more than a modest income, and at times has been in (straightened circumstances, but she has tfatiently pursued her notable scientific researches, happy in the knowledge that sheets serving man kind. school children are killed or maimed through carelessness on the part of those whose duty it is to provide for their protection.

Another danger that can not be too carefully guarded against is that due to the widespread and growing operation of school buses. Only the most capable and careful drivers should be employ ed, and they should be required to see that brakes and other equipment are in good condition at all times. School boards have a grave respon sibility in all these matters, and they shduld insist upon the fullest coopera tion on the part of principal and teachers. “Save the children” should be their motto and slogan.
