The Light That Never Fails President Roosevelt aptly described spirit of the Red Cross when he recently remarked: "In a world disturbed dis-turbed by war and fear of war, the unselfish devotion of the Red Cross to the welfare of others stands out in striking contrast to the inhumane acts which have shocked our conscience in so many instances." Unselfish devotion is the keynote of the Red Cross; unselfish devotion of thousands of men and women in all parts of the world who devote their services, and time, and money, to easing the suffering so often caused by the evil acts of others. Another outstanding trait of the Red Cross is patience patience to continue its ministrations in the face of the fact that often, while one group of sufferers is being helped, plans are beingmade to cause twice as many others to know pain and sorrow and loss. But, in spite of-fhe disheartening, callous way in which wars go on just as they did when the Red Cross came into prominence nearly a century ago, the Red Cross never falters in its stride. It is the one organization, the world over, at which no criticism is hurled. Never before has the Red Cross needed so much help; not only for the victims of wars, but for the victims of natural disasters as well. If the Red Cross is to continue con-tinue under its staggering burden, it needs the help of every man and womrn in America. And every man and woman who has a heart WILL help!

The war-moneers of America, who are doing their best to wreck business with their efforts to talk the world into war, should read the results a nationaf survey recently re Sixty-eight per cent of the American people say they do not believe there is going to be a war in Europe. And yet a noisy minority only 32 per cent is so boisterous with its jingoism that the country gets the jitters, and everybody suffers.

So let s sing a little optimism, ana turn on me oiues: -j - - The Shushun case is a good highlight for the present situation because it is so different. Eleven prominent New Orleans politicians were indicted on in come tax charges. The Long ma Against this record, as a gentle reminder that things were not always al-ways thus, there is the fact that less than a month has passed since Abe Sushan, New Orleans politico and one-time intimate of the late Huey Long, finally closed the income tax case against him- that they are not finished by the agency that starts them. The Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury Department starts these cases. It is made up pretty largely of career men, who have no particular political ties and go ahead without regard for the political implications. Just incidentally, inci-dentally, it might, be noted that whereas the Louisiana cases were omraooly;uppoaed ,to jbe &. meth- od of reprisal against Long oy the Roosevelt administration, the case against Shushan was started in 1932 before Roosevelt even book office.

A common remark is that the administration ad-ministration is designedly building build-ing him up in this character as an offset to the Republicans' fearless fear-less - and - favorless prosecutor, Thomas E. Dewey. But however that may be, the fact remains that the Treasury tax people feel that they are working in a different differ-ent atmosphere. Rightly or wrongly, wrong-ly, they feel that if they hand over a good case it will be prosecuted to the hilt. To get back to Sushan: his acquittal ac-quittal in federal court did not relieve him of the civil case for the collection of unpaid income 5 CHAPTER V tJTOMATKiLY, Alan had bis gloves off and was reaching reach-ing for the man wrist. The pulse Was faint very faint. Alan figured fig-ured quickly. The car had passed him before 8, and it was now after 5. Nine hours, unconscious in that bllzzardr No man could live. Even if he had escaped injury when the cat overturned, he should have frozen to death. The hum of the electric heater, still running, answered one of Alan's Unspoken questions. But there was no time for delay. This man must be taken to a hospital, at once. Half dragging, half carrying carry-ing Us heavy burden, Alan got the man up the embahkmant and into his own warm car. There was a chance, but even minutes would CounVhbw. Price's farm flashed by. Pity Price hadn't seen that wreck, frijce had probably gone to bed as soon as he saw. Alan safely by. An interne and a sleepy orderly answered his ring at the ambulance ambu-lance entrance of the hospital. "Get that man" upstairs, quickly." quick-ly." Alan , ordered curtly. "Get him out of those clothes Lord knows he has on plenty get stimulants. We'll have to work if we're going to save huh." As the two men unloaded his charge from his car and onto a cart, Alan hurried up the stairs. Farrell met him in the doctors' office. "Just saw you drive in, Alan. You didn't have any trouble?" Farrell's voice betrayed his concern. con-cern. "No, no trouble at Carroll's. That was easy. Ran into a young fellow in a wrecked car. Evidently Evi-dently been there most of the night He's half, or completely frozen. But he's still alive." "Was he hurt in the accident?" "Can't tell, yet He was so bundled up and I didn't want to risk losing any time getting him here. He has a chance, but it's not a very big one, I'm afraid." "Know who he is?" "Never saw him before, or his car either, until he almost hit me head on as 1 was driving out last nicht I wondered then if he'd make the turn safely and he didn't .

Dr. Farrell's Far-rell's ' voice was kind, fatherly. "You've been up all night son. Why dont you go home and get some sleep, and 111 look after your snow victim?" "But Doctor Farren . "No argument, now, son. I can take care of him all right I've been thawing people out for years, drunk and sober. But I couldn't take care of Mrs. Olivia. Shell need you, and youll have to be wide awake to pull .her through. Mrs. Miles isn't going to be easy, either, with a first baby." 'I'm not tired; 111 be all right" But Alan knew that Farrell was right Reluctantly he gave, in, slipped into his overcoat again. "He's all ; yours, then, Dr. Farrell. Far-rell. Let me know how he makes out will you?" j TT was afternoon before Alan A awakened. Emily was sitting on the side of bis bed, when he opened his eyes. "Sorry to wake you, darling," she said. "The hospital called. They'll be needing you there soon. thought you might like a bite to eat before you go.' Lunch will be ready as soon rs you're dressed. And Dr. Farrell sailed, too. Said the man you found in the snow was still alive and had a fighting chance." "Good. Farrell could pull him through if anyone could. I don't see yet how that fellow escaped being frozen to death. How's the weather?" "It's snowing again; not like last night, but softly falling, huge flakes. The papers says the cold wave is general over the whole cojontry. One of the biggest snow storms in years." "I could see that last night. Say, how was Peterson? What did he have to say? Did you have a nice party?" "It was wonderful, Alan. Dr. Peterson and Mrs. Peterson are so nice. He certainly admires you. And guess what he wants, dear." "I'm not much good at guessing. Probably he wants me to pay up my alumni dues." "Alan. . . . Dr. Peterson wants you to come back to St. Louis, to teach obstetrics at the school. He's going to write you all about it. You'll go, of course, won't you?" "Let's not cross any bridges. And 111 believe that job offer when I see it on paper. Maybe he was just making conversation- he knew it would please you. "tie really was quite serious ... He and Dr. Farrell argued about it for a long time. I know he means it." "Well see. Now .scoot honey . while I dress. Man, am I hungry. . ..

He stayed up there until late to be sure that ther blizzard wouldn't do any harm, and then missed the turn there at Price's. "He'd been, out in the storm all afternoon and that's probably what saved his life. He had on a jacket and sweater underneath his sheepskin coat, boots, and woolen socks and underwear. He stayed warm twice as long as the average man would have. . He's got. a rugged constitution too, being out in the open so much. Hell be up and around in a day or so. ' "5 "Kane was asking about you I told him you'd probably drop in. He wonts to thank you for saving his life." , ': ' TUT Alan did not stop at Eric Kane's room in the hospital He told himself, when the thought occurred to him, that it was .be cause he had little time or oppor tunity to visit this wing of the hospital, and besides, he said, he had turned the case over to Far? rell and he had no more to do with it. But the real reason was that he was afraid afraid of the embarrassment the grateful man's: thanks might cause him. 4 : . I- If anyone had done any saving of life, the honor belongel to Far? rell, not to him. Alan had found the man, brought him to the bos'-pital bos'-pital that was true but anyone would have done that. Perhaps if Alan could have looked into the future he might have considered, leaving Eric Kane to die in the snow. , r It was no wonder that he was surprised, two evenings later to find a stranger knocking at his door. "Come in, come in," Alan said as he opened the door. "Thanks," said the stranger,""! will.

BRIGHT MOMENTS In Great Lives Sir William Gilbert, of the famous Victorian duo of Gilbert and Sullivan, whose operas "Pinafore," "The Mikado" and many others are favorites even to this day, was a very witty conversationalist, and many of his bon mots and puns have been handed down thru the years. Upon one occasion Sir William heard of a certain London theater manager who had cast' his mistress in a stellar role, then proceeded to puff her in the press. r "Humpfi" said Sir William, v "The fellow is blowing his ow. trumpet." - Frank Ward Q'Malley the famous Q'Malley of the New York Sun-was a warm personal friend of George M.

O'Malley buttonholed button-holed Cohan and recited a full play he had been turning over in his mind, even putting in gestures. ges-tures. It was unusually trying, but Cohan stuck it out.

The Golden Text was: "If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day" (Isaiah 58:10). Selections from the Bible included in-cluded the following: "Ye are all the children of light, and the children chil-dren of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. See that none render evil unto any man but ever follow that which ie good, both among yourselves, and to all men. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly" (I Thessalonians 5: 5, 15, 23).
