The response from some sections Dr. of tne state has bjtn excellent, Beiunon assented, but unless there is a ma rat'd increase in enrollments in the next few days, .tbe state w.ll fail short of its quota."

As the American Red Cross Roll- - Call was brought to a close, today (Thursday, November 25) A. L. Schafer, Red Cross manager in the Pacific Area, said early returns indicated an enrollment apmembers in proximating a Bhe Pacific States toward the national objective of five million members. Voicing a note of Thanksgiving to the public for its increased support of lied Oros activities, Mr. Schaler emphasized the urgent need today for more help in the campaign to save lives by reducing the numoer of accidents on highways and in homes. At the same tun - he called upon every Rod Cross unit, Every Red Cross sum" inter; to concentrate their efforts during the next two months on the establishment, of more Highway Emergency First Aid Stations, Mr. Schafer said. National statistics show a 9 perin automobile fatalities cent during the first nine months of the vear; 28,140 as against 25,170 a' year ago. Prevention of this tremendous loss calls for greater effort on the part of every individual who can lend half-millio- n line. Following the luncheon at 3:00 oclock p. m.' at the Fair Grounds will be the Big Auction Sale. This will be, perhaps, the largest auction yet held by the Randolph Ward. We have been informed by G. W. Peart that everything in the livestock line, from house cats to cows will be auctioned. And one of the largest collections of hay, groin, posts, poles, potatoes, carrots and other things too numerous to mention will be offered.

Nationally there are 1,990 fixed stations and 1,175 mobile units. Some of these volunteer first aiders have saved lives of auto crash victims, others have greatly alleviated suffering of injured persons. A good start has been made, but more stations and more workers are required.

You pick the strings like a guitar, and yet it is not a guitar. ' You get pianoforte music out of it, and yet it is not a piano. It is light enough to carry under your arm and you place it flat on the table when you play it, advises a writer in the Los Angeles Times. Its origin is somewhere back in antiquity, and probably - the first ones played in the Swiss Alps, the mountains of Tyrol or the hills of Bavaria,, were patterned after the harp, with just a few strings. The standard zither has five strings for the melody placed parallel over a series of frets that will give as many as four octaves. These are played guitar fashion with the fingers of the left hand, and plucked with a pick on the right thumb. The four fingers of the right hand must also control as many as 24 and more . bass . and contra-bas- s strings placed to the right of the melody strings. And playing. that many strings for the accompani-- . ment requires some dexterity. The zither was probably only a instrument in the early days, but as time went on they added more and more strings to get better effects and it got so complicated that the number of strings had to be decreased. Then there were different kinds of tunings of the zither, the Viennese, the Bavarian, and Bohemian tuning, and so on. The standard 4 tunings of the melody strings are a, a, d, g and c.

As has been pointed out by medical men, persons dont often wear out, they generally are killed, either by disease or accident. Although senility frequently is found on death certificates, more often than not because of the advanced age of the deceased, together with lack of apparent disease causes or a post mortem, the term is used without being the real cause of death. Researchers say that a natural death is one to be sought after because after a certain stage in life is reached the instinct of gradually is replaced by an instinct to die, and death is accepted calmly and happily. True senility is found in persons ranging from the age of Seventy upwards, depending on heredity, environment and other factors. Judging by medical records and vital Statistics, the process of wearing out is a long, arduous one, most of those dying from senility having worked hard during a long life. on aca--de- The Smithsonian Institution The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.

Bermuda roads have a special appeal. Made of white coral stone, they wind along the shore line or cut through hills. Typically English, the road builders avoided straight stretches, so that there are not half a dozen places on the island where one can see 500 yards down the road. Isolated and small as Bermuda is, it has a unique background, Bermudas parliament was the first representative body in existence, with the sole exception of the English parliament. Hog coinage, once in ciiculation there, was the first colonial coinage. Bermuda remained loyal to her king even when Cromwell was protector, for Bermudians are a sturdy and an independent people. St. Georges, quaint capital of the island before the seat of government was moved to Hamilton, abounds in historical interest. The oldest town in the western world, it boasts the oldest church in the western hemisphere. Here are the narrow streets the Irish poet, Tom Moore, roamed.
