USE ENGLISH SIGNS.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Paris, Feb. 13.—English signs have
been placed in the subway stations of
Paris owing to the increasing number
of Americans and Englishmen using
the system and the inability of many
of them to read the French sgins.
The subway company has also mo
bilized its English-speaking employ
ees and placed them in stations most
frequented by Americans. Most of
the employees are girls. The rules,
regulations and tariffs of the subway
system have been printed in English
on an attractive poster by a large
American express company and
these have been placed in all the sub
way stations. \

WHAT THE
RED CROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
-U. - \ ' .u ■ •' - ' ••' ' .' ' -
JUNIOR SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
What is the Junior Red Cross?
It is a department of the American Red Cross belonging to the school
children of the United States, through which they can find expression in
evdey form of patriotic service. As President Wilson says, “Learn by doing
kind thfngs under their teacher’s direction to be the future good citizens of
this great country which we all love.”
The Junior Red Cross is unity. When a school has once joined the
Junior Red Cross it ean engage in any form of patriotic service which the
government has approved. It can work for war savings; it can plant school
gardens; it can engage in salvage work ^f the raw material board; it can
help the Food Administration or the Council of Defense, and all the while be
acting as a part of the Junior Red Cross, which has agreed to co-operate with
all these branches of the government work.
The Junior Red Cross is efficiency.
It can provide you boys and girls with
work to do wtoich will be of real serv
ice, with opportunities for work which
are practical and which lead to defi
nite results, with specifications of arti
cles to make tfhich the Red Cross
knowB to be useful at this time. You
can be sure that your money which
goes to the Red Cross will not be
wasted.
The Red Cross is conservation.
Every sweater that you knit, every
box that yoh make, is ju#5 as truly a
piece of conservation as money put In
the war savings or Liberty bonds. You
are helping the government by using
your school time in helping to release
other workers in other fields of which
the government has need.
The Red Cross la morale. In join
ing it you are Joining that great army
of citizens which stands back of the,
boys at the front. You put courage V
their hearts and power in their eS
bows; you make them feel that their
country is with them and is atamethi&ff
to fight for and die for, If need be.
Can you think of any reason—teach
ers and boys and girls—why yon
should not Join the Junior Red Cross?
Then write to the nearest Red Cross
chapter headquarters and have your
school Join the rest. Make our battl
cry come true, “Every School a Re
Cross Auxiliary, a Center of Nation:
Service.”

The Test of True
AMERICANISM
The Germans say—America is not a Nation—it is a hodgepodge
of people—that we have no National spirit—no National soul.
The 25c thrift stamp is the test of Americanism—the test of HOW
MANY AMERICANS THERE ACTUALLY ARE!
The thrift stamp was issued so that EVERY American could
help his country. \nd unavoidably the number of owners of thrift
stamps will be to the enemy the actual number of real Americans.
Every American man, woman and child must come forward and
enroll as Americans. We must answer this German libel by proving
ourselves ALL Americans.
