THE RED CROSS WAR FUND
You’re a regular, red-blooded, true
blue Ameri$ui. You love your coun
try. You love that flapping, snapping
old flag. Your heart thumps hard
when the troops tramp by. You're
loyal—100 per cent!
You intend to—you want to—help
win the war in a hurry.
“Sacrfice? Sure,” you've been
thinking. “Just you wait till they
really need it." And you’ve honestly
thought you meant that, too.
But—look yourself in the eye, now,
and search up and down inside of
your heart—did you mean it? ntd you
really mean “sacrifice”?
Listen: You feel poor. This third
Liberty loan, the high prices, the in
come tax—you’ve done your bit. You
feel that you’ve given all you can
spare.
V\ hat? Then what did you mean?
What s that you said about loving
your country? What did you think
the word “sacriflc” means?
surely you didn’t mean, did yott, to
give only what you can spare?
that about our boys who are giw
ing their lives in the trenches? Are
fhey giving only what they can:
“spare”?
: iOW about those mothers and little
kiddies in the shell-wrecked towns of
tha' war-swept hell—hungry—ragged
sobbing—alone? Giving up their
homes ,their husbands, their fathers.
Y. bile we—over here, with our fun
and our comforts—we hold up our
heads and feel patriotic because we
have given—what? Some loose bills
of4 the top of our roll. “We’ve given
all we can spare!”
Come, come! Let’s quit fooling
ourselves. Let us learn what “sacri
fice” means. Let us give more than
we can spare—let us “give till the
heart says stop.”
HYSTERIA OF THE ARCTIC
In a paper dealing with the Univer
sity of Oxford expedition to Siberia,
of which he was a member, H. U. Hall
of the University of Pennsylvania re
fers to the striking psychological ef
fects of long daylight and long dark
ness in high latitudes.
As to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours in
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day, there seems to
be a kind of stimulation of the r.erv
ous system, urging people to a fever
ish and purposeless activity This is
especially noticed in newcomers, bul
the natives are not exempt from it
On the other hand, the coming of the
long winter nght is followed by a kind
of reaction, though no general depres
sion of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation of work the pe
orid of sociability begins, and the cir
cumstances favor a lapse of self-con
trol This Is the time when "Arctic
hysteria" is likely to show itself.
"Such, for instance, is a form of hys
| terical seizure for which the Tungus
have a special name. In which the pa
| tient sings improvisations of his own
| which are likely to contain absurd
| exaggerations or laughable glorifica
! tions of himself.”

IN FIRS] DRILL
Captain Gillis last evening appoint
ed Calvin Hazelet first lieutenant in
the Home Guard, to fill the vacancy
that will be left by the absence of
Jack Sapiro, who expects to leave on
the steamship Northwestern for ar
extended visit to the States. Ivan
Supphelen was appointed second lieu
tenant to replace Calvin Hazelet. Mr
Sapiro was given a vote of thanks by
the officers for his work and his help
in Successfully organizing thfi Home
Guard company.
The six divisions of the guard
which have been drilling separately,
assembled last night on the baseball
field at the jpmmand of Captain Gil
lis, and were formed by him into com
pany formation. This is the first time
that all the men have been together
since the first meeting. There were
over ten squads, or a total of more
than eighty men, in line on the field.
They were given - the marchings and
! simple squad movements by the va
rious officers in turn. Although the
line was not always perfect, and some
of the movements were somewhat rag
ged, the officers were unanimous in
agreeing that the men had made a
splendid showing for the first time
they were put together.
At 9 o’clock the men were marched
up town and dismissed in front of
Eagles’ hall.
At the next meeting, Tuesday, May
21, the men will assemble at the va
rious halls and then, if the weather
permits, will march to the baseball
field and form into company line.
