So when the Ued Cross invites Americans to join while it is holding Its eleventh luintinl roll call from Armistice day through Thanksgiving, November 11 to 2t, we can all do so with the knowledge that there can be no more fitting observance of this solemn anniversary than b aiding In the work of the Ited Cross "the greatest mother of the world." ARMISTICE IB Ours, ours they are Those dear, dead knights who won On nhurr.hvnrd . In the sense that Armistice day means the end of fighting, there is no Armistice day for the lied Cros. For in peace as in war it carries on it fight against disease nnd hunger and If "peace hath its victodevastation. ries no less renowned than war" then some of the peace-timvictories of the American Rod Cross, won when tornado or hurricane or tlood or tire swept over some rnmmunity, are more to be remembered than ar pome of its victories won on t tie battlefield. There is still another service of tbe Red Cross which is perhaps but little l.nown in comparison to its other services and it may yet prove to he of j: future Importance which cannot now be estimated. That Is the organisation of the Junior Red Cross, wlile'i li.is for its three watchwords "Service," "Friendship" and "Health." and which will begin celebrating its tenth anniversary next year. On its scroll Is written these words, "Let Youth T'lo Shape the World While Vision Splendid Is Still Uofore Its e F.ves." If indeed youth begins the world while the vision Mil! before its eyes," then come the time when there more wars, for the Junior to "shape splendid Is there may will be no Red Cross iamese Tempb Cats To the most beautiful of tame oats, says the I'.erlin Illustrirte Zeltung. be longs t lie Siamese house cat will, its short, smooth hair, which on the body while 011 the. tail, is ereun-cn!nre- i legs, ears and face It Is dark brown The cat in Slam, as In all Far Eastern countries, is n temple animal, and accordingly highly prized and treated with religious care.

"But how does he do it, father?" "Oh, he is a wind instrument. Like an organ pipe, he uses his air pump to blow wind through a hole between two reeds in his throat." "Oh, father !" "It's true. Two reeds or strings are stretched from front to back in the wind pipe, as it passes through 'Adam's apple.' That is the lump you feel in your neck beneath your chin If you take an old air tube after a man has gone and left it and blow wind through it it makes a fine noise; or if I take this instrument and look down a man's throat through It I can watch Ms voice strings moving as he sings. (See picture.) "When a person gets diphtheria this narrow pnrt of the wind tube gets filled up, and several times I have had to make a hole lower down in the pipe and put in a tube, or the person would have suffocated. Then lie couldn't talk at all, because the wind escaped below the strings. "The lungs are our bellows, and our throat and chest and belly miu-cle- s all help us to blow harder or softer as we like. If the strings stay the same length, the harder we blow the higher the pitch of the sound. You can't make any noises without you blow hard enough to hold up the weight of a column of water ten Inches in height, and to make a very high note you must blow four times as hard. Most people can only make 1(3 notes, and the limit is 24." "Rut how do you make the different notes ?" "That Is the marvelous thing about these reeds. We can make them shorter or longer at will." "Hut what dues that do?" "Look at this fiddle. Nw twang this long string and listen. That Is the same note as this one on the piano, Isn't It?" "Yes." "Well, that Is called 0. It means that the wire I am hitting in the piano is making as many up and down movements or waves in a second as the string which vou are twanging. It happens to he iu a cecond. Now twang it again as I shorten It. Listen. It Is the same note again as this one I am striking eight tiotes higher up on the piano " "Yes, father." "Well, that is the octave and means that the wire and string are now each making 532 waves a second, or Just twice as many as before. That is all there Is to It isn't it easy? "Rut the really amazing thing is the way In which we can shorten nnd lengthen the strings so cleverly, and at the same time regulate the wind pressure so accurately as to always sing the right note." "How do we do It, father?" "Well, we can't unless we practice and then we can't always Just as I can't play the fiddle or" piano like Kreisler and I'aderewski. or sing like Caruso. Rut when they were born they couldn't play better than I could All that any one of us four could pro-- ' duce then was a yell. "A man's throat Is bltrger than a woman's and therefore his cords are J.-(J longer and larger to begin with. His are a little over half an Inch long, hers are a little under, so his voice Is deeper. That Is why Wilfred's voice is so horrible. It is cracking. It only means his throat is very quickly growing larger Just at present. The range of the voice Is exactly like that of a string It depends on Its length. "Now with my instrument we will look down the throat. It shows how the machine acts. The big ring is the case around the machine down the throat, and the tip In front Is the top of the lid that closes when we swallow, and shoots our food over Instead of into our talking and breathing machine. The same air Is used to breathe and to talk. There Is a beautiful little sack above the cords, right around. It is full of oilers and greasers. The flap above it is called the false cord. The thing like a swastika or boomerang Is made of hard gristle. It is balanced on a ring of bone below the 'apple' bone or thyroid, and it can turn like a swivcal. The whole bon and swastika together can also he tilted back to stretch the voice strings. By means of these the strings can also be pulled wide apart or pulled close together, so that lots of air can come in and out, as when we run hard and get 'short of wind,' or when we want to make low notes. There Is, however, also another marvelous little arrangement to shorten the amount of the voice cord used. It is done by little muscle-cell- s inside the flap from the cord to the fide of the bone, and that 'stops' it, exactly as we move our fingers up and down a banjo or fiddle string to alter the note we need. "It Is very hard to keep the same note accurately getting louder and louder (called 'crescendo' by singers), because it means that you must blow harder and harder and harder and at exactly the same time gradually slacken and slacken and slacken the strings. The real marvel Is not that so many cannot sing well, but that so many can. AH the same, good singers are very rare, and have to be paid huge sums of money. Though the width and length and lightness of the string alter the nott-s- , really the sound Is the mouth and throat above, and the cavity of the nose. our singing muster tries to teach you to use those sounders rightly, so that you may sing sweetly. The vowel sounds are made by wind that Is not interrupted by anything. (See picture). Only the shape of the mouth is altered. But the consonants are made by stopping the air with the lips H'eth, ami tongue. Thus, a snake hisses by pressing Its tongue the front of the roof 0f Its against mouth and blowing air between them. 'L Is the same, only you allow the air to pass each side of the tongue Mf Is tl'e tip of the tongue (or edge of Up r point of soft palate) blowing to nnd fro in the wind. 'Th1 Is made by Placing the tongue against the teeth . ing-'no- and blowing, etc. "That Is all.
