OF RED CROSS
FOR RUMANIA
BUCHAREST, June 2 (Correspond
ence of Associated Press).—The chil
dren of Rumania are the special care
of the American Red Cross nurses,
who are showing Rumanian mothers
how to care properly for them. They
are distributing infants’ clothing, con
densed milk, soap, talcum powder and
everything that contributes to a baby’s
comfort. In this field of relief work
the efforts of the Americans already
have shown remarkable results. The
condition of the children has been
wonderfully improved.
The Red Cross workers found the
children in all these war-affected
towns in a pitiful state of impoverish
ment. Many of them were slowly dy
ing of starvation. Others had pel
lagra and malignant skin diseases.
These little ones are now being cared
for and given nourishing and fatten
ing foods, such as1 bacon, jam, cod
liver oil, etc. They have shown won
derful improvement since the Ameri
cans came.
All these children have been under
the stress and strain of war for four
years, and have really never known
what childhood is. In common with
their parents, they have borne the
keenest privations and sufferings.
Since Rumania entered the war they
have not known what it was to play
or to laugh. Hunger has robbed them
of that spirit. The war has blighted
their lives. No smiles have come to
their faces, no happiness into their
hearts. They are like flowers which
have never seen the sunshine. Their
wan, pinched little countenances tell
a tragic story. They have had neither
proper food, shelter nor clothing.
Many of them have lost either one or
both parents.
The Red Cross gives them American
jam and sweets, the things that young
sters the world over crave for, and
their dark eyes, frank and melanchoy,
light up with a new radiance. They
become children again. The Ameri
cans give them clothing, shoes, stock
ings. They bathe them. The little
tots become real human beings.
SAN PEDRO IS AFTER
COTTON BUSINESS OF
TEXAS AND ARIZONA
BOS ANGELES, July 17 (by Associ
ated Press).—Plans for fostering cot
ton-growing in Southern California and
a campaign to inform manufacturers
of cotton goods of the facilities of this
section that are suitable for their en
terprises will be discussed at a con
ference of cotton growers of the Im
perial valley, the Salt River valley of
Arizona, and civic officials of this city,
under the direction of the Chamber of
Commerce, to be held here this month.
Efforts will be made by the harbor
commission to have the cotton of
Texas and Arizona, as well as South
ern California, routed through Los An
geles and San Pedro. A mammoth cot
ton compress will be installed at San
Pedro in the near future to prepare
the cotton for shipment and market
ing.

IDAHO INDIANS NOW
DO TRADING DIRECT
WITH POST COMMANDER
POCATELLO, Idaho, July 17 (by
Associated Press).—Fort Hall, within
ten miles of Pocatello, is the trading
post for three tribes of Indians—the
Bannocks, Lemhis and Shoshones.
There are 2,800 of the three tribes
on the tract, which embraces many
thousands of acres, not all cultivated.
Some live along the bottoms, in wicki
ups and modern tents, and follow up
the old system of the “blanket” In
dians. Others cultivate.
Every Saturday they appear at the
historic trading post, where they are
given their allotment under the super
vision of Major H. H. Miller, super
intendent of the post. In early days
Captain Bonneville stopped at the site
for several days, and Generals Custer
and Fremont went through this way.
Today a different condition exists,
| and while some of the older tribesmen
; live in the primitive way, the mftjor
portion furnish supplies along the
S more active line, are active stockmen
and farmers, and some are wealthy.
One of the braves who died recently
left his heirs $50,000. He had resi
dence property close to Blackfoot,
owned farm land, and knew the de
tails of a bank account. He was a
Bannock Indian.
One of the “braves,” an educated
and prosperous farmer, drives one of
the highest-powered cars in Idaho, and
takes keen delight in clipping seventy
miles an hour off the state road that
was built through the sand of the res
ervation.
NOMADIC OCCUPATIONS
UNCHANGED IN SARDINIA
ROME, June 10 (hy mail).—Relics
of Biblical pastoral life, plowing with
wooden hooks drawn by oxen, reaping
by the most primitive implements and
other occupations of the nomadic peo
ples of antiquity remain the manner
of living today in Sardinia, according
to Dr. Alfred P. Dennis, commercial
attache of the United States embassy
here, who has just returned from the
island after making an exhaustive
study into the trade possibilities of it.
“Sardinians present a living picture
of the remote past which has been
stereotyped and handed down from
antiquity,” said Dr. Dennis to the As
sociated Press correspondent. “Water
wheels with earthen buckets, wooden
plows drawn by oxen, the scythe and
the sickle still in use in reaping vast
fields — nomadic occupations un
changed since the days of the Aryan
dispension—tribal costumes as gay and
grotesque as the trappings of the me
dieval pageant—all reproduce in the
veriest similitude the archaic life of
bygone days.”

>
He is an old timer-been in Alaska for 21
years—and just back in the States. He
was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make.
, Why, I remember one time when my part
Iner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
There's the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new w ay,—IN ONE
SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
they’re comfortable—feel like ora shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
HI
| We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red
Line ‘Round The Top.”
