Money Raised Through Junior
Red Cross Is Used to Aid
Eastern Orphans.
The record of achievement being
written by the children of the Junior
Red Cross in the public schools of
Atlanta is one of which all Atlanta
people are proud.
During the past year more than 50
rench orphan children have been
“adopted” by these Junior Red Cross
4y chapters, at an expense of $36.50 each,
or a total sum of $1,825. In addition
to this sum, the Junior Red Cross
chie pters have raised the sum of
SI,BOO for the National Children’'s
4N Pund for relief work in Europe.
It is interesting to know what is
becoming of all this money—most of
which was earned by the hard work
of many, many small hands. Even
with the war over, there remains a
vast amount of suffering to be alle
viated.
Juniors Finance Orphanage.
In the Near East thousands of lit
tle children are being rescued from
starvation, nakedness and homeless
ness. With the money raised through
the Junior Red Cross, a great orphan
asylum is being conducted at Mount
Zion, Palestine. This is the first
chapter in the history of the Junior
Red Cross work for the children of
ither lands.
Dr. Livingston Farrand, head of the
American Red Cross in FEurope, has
just returned from Arabia. He re
-4 yperts that the children of the Eastern
countries have suffared untold hard
ships because of the great war. They
have been cold, hungry, bewildered
and frightened. They have seen theis
fathers march off to war and theit
mothers die of starvation and grief.
They have lost hteir pleasant homes
and protectors and been scattered far
from the people who would have been
their friends.
The people of Palestine, Dr. Farrand
said, were not able to feed or clothe
them. There was no friendly society
or organization to care for them. They
were from dozens of oppressed races
~Svrians, Armenians, Greeks and
others—and they were all suffering
from hunger, cold and lack of cloth
ing
Orphans’ Condition Terrible.
“The war orphans are, of all among
whom we work, the most to be
4 4 pitied,” writes a Red Cross physician
from Jerusalem. “They are usually |
barefooted, poorly fed, forlorn and
dirty, with but a single garment
hanging from their shoulders. How
ever, after a few weeks’ care we be-
AAzin to see them gradually return to
health, and we know they will soon
be able to develop physically into
normal girls and boys.”
The Red Cross is doing all this and
now the Junior Red Cross boys and
girls are going to help even more and
more. The orphanage at Mount Zion
is the first step.
It is planned to add on to the pres
ent asylum, as the money becomes
available, little cottages and bunga
lows with a group of war orphans in
each of them under care of a “house
me¢ ther” and a ‘“house father.” The
houses will be as much like real homes
as possible and the children will be
sent to school as in America.
That is a beautiful plan, meaning
much to the children, for in addition
to food, clothing, shelter and educa
tion they will be given love. After
<AI that is what the Red Cross al
ways gives together with its needed
help—love and plenty of It.

Famous Boy Scout Air
Hero Tells of Dangers
In Trans-Atlantic Flight
A new angle on the courageous and
now historic attempt of Harry Hawk- |
er, the Australian flyver who attempt
ed with a companion, Commander
Mackenzie Grieve, to fly across the
Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ire-,
land, was disclosed yesterday hy Mil-i
ton D. Lowenstein, famous Boy Scout |
hero and veteran fiver in the world |
war. Difficulties that were almost in- '
surmountable and which can be ap
preciated only by an aviator who has |
attempted flights over stranze l:mds‘
and in storm and fog, forecoomed the |
intrepid Englishmen almost hefore |
they started, in the opinion of Low-!
enstein. Only courage of the highest
kind could actuate such men, a cour-!
age which incidentally represents the |
best that the Boy Scout movmnent;
stands for, is the opinion of the boy |
who spent seven months as an aeriai
bomber in France.
Some of the difficulties and prob
lems that face the daring aviators|
are related at length by Lowenstein. |
The Boy Scout aviator will be re-|
membered as having made a spectac-!
ular flight over New York last week |
in a raging wind and rain storm to!
bomb Broadway with literature an-'
nouncing President Wilson's procla
mation, setting aside the week of:
June 8 to 14 as Boy Scout Week. Al-|
though but 19 years of age, }.uwml—l
stein served seven months as a bomb
er on the western front, taking mrli
in many notable air raids on the Ger- |
mans. Incidentally, he ascribes the|
credit. for his success to his n'uining!
as a Boy Scout. In the light of his/!
technical training in aviation, hi\'f
description of the perils that beset
Hawker are extremely interesting. Hel
says:
By MILTON D. LOWENSTEIN,
Famcus Boy Scout Flyer.
Harry Hawker, the Australian flv-|
er. and Commander Mackenzie Grieve |
attempted that which will rank them!
with the greatest of heroes. It is al
most impossible for the lay mind to |
conceive the tremendous ditficuities |
thai had to be surmounted. Perhnpsl
the mariner who has fought his way
across the stormy Atlantic or a Boy |
Scout who has found his way through |
the pathless forest can begin to nn~‘
derstand something of the remark
able feat. But only an aviator, one |
who has flown over strange lands, |
through unknown weather, can fully ¢
appreciate the enormity of Hawker's |
and Grieve's undertaking. [
When the sailing ship points its
bow east. the navigator looks at his
compass and knows that his ship is
going east, except for a slight error
that is quickly accounted for. Lieu

of the tiny Sonworth plane, may have
his ship point east, toward the Irish !
HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A News_p;ggg‘x' for People Who Think — SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1919,
is a little more—er—(shall we say
it?—a little more snappy.
Well, read for yourself the synopsis
of the piece as carefully written out
in long hand on legal cap paper by
Louise Adams, the official press
agent’ ‘
“Mark Embruy,” begins the Spence
rian hand, “is a bachelor who has
been disappointed in love and has
lived a hermit’s lite for years.”
You know how it is.
“He decides to adopt an orphan
and train her so that later she may
ceast, 2,500 miles away, but if there
is a wind from the north blowing 40
miles an hour the airplane will be
taken south 40 miles tor every 100 it
goes east! Neither their gasoline nor
their endurance could last until they
reaghed the African coast, at that
rate. The airplane must, therefore,
be headed into the wind (north in
thiz case) to compensate for - this
“drift.” But how much should the
plane be turned? The airplane rush
ing through the air creates its own
wind, so that this side wind can not
be felt or measured, In this case if
the mlanc were allowed to drift, any
spots on the water would appeir to
the aviators to pass under the plane
from a southeast to a northwest di
rection. The plane is' turned into the
wind until these “spots” appear to
pass under the plane from east to
west That is the sclution of that
problem with all the many complica
tions removed. 'Though human pas
sions have often been ascribed to it
the sea is not addictcd to that human
malady—smallpox—so “spots’”’ are
quit? rare on its surface.
Fog is nothing more than 2 passing
inconvenience for our mariner. If the
weather is rough, perhaps the land
lubbers will observe that the ship is
pitching. /but they kpow if the bow
has: sunk in the trough of a wave the
next wave will raise it again. Sup
pose a hidden mine blew the front of
the ship off, and it began to sink
bow first—the people could see the
ship was sinking because the water
would begin to rush up the sloping
decks. Overhead onr airplane .18
eaught in the same fog., The horizon
is gone. The mea beneath is invisible.
The pilot has no stationary object
from which he can tell in what posi
tion his plape is. He may be diving
into the sea, he can not tell at the
moment as his altimeter does not rez
ister as fast as he falls. He may be
climbing at a precarious angle which
will cause him to “stall” the plane,
throwing him into a “side-slip” or
“gpin.” The plane may gradually
turn over on its side, and then side
slip into the sea, the pilot will not
know it until ton late. It is impos
sible for a man in a fog or cloud:to
tell what position he has assumed
relative to the earth, because he has
nothing to judge his position by! T
have had the experience of turning
completely over on my back in a
cloud, hefore I realized what had hap
pened. -
“These are but a sow of the inumer
able difficulties’ that those two men
have faced. If their one motor failed
they were doomed. as the plane did
not have pontoons and would soon
sink under the hattering waves of the
Atlantic. They had no ships below to
make him a desirable wife. Pnfor
runaiely, he does not tell her his in
tention.” '
A bad mistake, that.
“Embruy's nephew, Captain Lovell,
has fallen desperately in love with
Johanua, the wife of Goodlake, Em
bruy’s best friend. Johanna is what
one might call a ‘vamp.” She has lov<
ars from far and near surrounding
her. To alleviate matters, Tovell is
banished from home for Iwo years.
However, c¢n the eve of his departure

Scouts. He says that the main differ
ence between the Atlanta Scouts andi
the Detroit Scouts is that the Atlanta
Scouts have a better chance to study
nature, for the territory around Detroit
is mostly farms. As for the way the
‘meetings are conducted, he says there
is hardly any difference. ‘
~ In the kodak contest Troop 11 enter-|
ed two collections of pictures. One was
A Scout Hlike.” The pictures were
taken by Richard Cothran on a hike
we had three weeks ago out near the
‘vnd of the Highland car line. SBix pic
tures show the hike under way with
seven Sgouds, with their scoutmgster
accompanying them, pulling the *oop
track cart containing the tents and the
“grub’’ for supper.
Another group, which is probably the
most appealing to boys, was cooking
and eating supper. The pictures show
Hamilton Stevens and Noel Stowe cook
ing a “bread twist,”” which is very de
licious bread made by twisting the
dough around a green stick with the
bark pecled off so the sweet sap may
flavor the bread, ’
Thanks to Hamilton Stevens for the
graceful arrangement of the pictures.
They were arranged on a large white
|(rard with the titles printed in ink be
low the pictures.
The second collection was taken by
different members of the troop at dif
ferent times. Some of them show our
last summer camp near Raymond, Ga.,
on the lake of the Raymond Boating
and Fishing Club. "
