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. !
i |
During the past year more than .'.t);
French orphan children have been
“adopted” by these Junior Red I‘ross'
chapters, at an expense of $36.50 each,
or a total sum of §1,825. In addition
to this sum, the Junior Red Cross
chepters have raised the sum of
SI,BOO for the National Children's
Fund for relief work in KEurope. ‘
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. [*:\‘(\ni
with the war over, there remains a
vast amount of suffering to be alles
viated. 1
Juniors Finance Orphanage. ‘
In the Near East thousands of lit
tla children are being rescued from
F!."l'\'il“lf!l, nakedness and homeless
ness. With the money raised through
the Junior Red Cross, a great orphan
u:\:ylum is being conducted at Mount
Zion, Palestine. This is the first
chapter in the history of the Junior
Red (ross work for the children of
otker lands.
Dr. Livingston Farrand, head of the
._\meri(‘:m Red Cross in Europe, has
just returned from Arabia. He re
ports that the children of the Eastern
countries have suffared untold hard
ships because of the great war. They |
.have been cold, hungry, bewildered |
and frichtened. They have seen theis |
fathers march off to war and theit |
mothers die of starvation and ,f:rler.‘
They have lost hteir pleasant homes
and protectors and heen scattered far
f-om the people who would have been |
their friends. ! |
The people of Palestine, Dr. Farmndi
said, were not able to feed or clothe
them. There was no friendly ::or'iet_v}
or organization to care for them. They '
were from dozens of oppressed races
_Syrians, Armenians, Greeks and
others—and they were all suffering
from hunger. cold and lack of cloth
ing :
Orphans’ Condition Terrible.
“mhe war orphans are, of all among |
whom we work, the most to be |
pitied,” writes a Red Cross physician|
from Jerusalem. “They are usually
barefooted, voorly fed, forlorn and |
dirty, with but a single garment
hanging from their shoulders. How- |
. ever, after a few weeks' care we be- |
gin to see them gradually return to
health, and we know they will soon |
be able to develop physically into |
normal girls and boys.” 6
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 bhecomes
available, little ecottages and bunga- |
lows with a group of war orphans in |
each of them under care of a “house |
mcther” and a ‘“house father.” ’l‘hp'
houses will be as much like real homes |
as possible and the children will be |
sent to school as in America. j
That is a beautiful plan, meaning
much to the children, for in addition
to food, clothing, shelter and odn(‘:l-‘
\-tion they will be given love. After |
all, that is what the Red Cross al
ways gives together with its needead
help—love and plenty of 1t |

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 flver who attempt
ed with a companion, Commaunder
Mackenzie Grieve, to fly across the
Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ire
land, was disclosed yesterday by Mil
ton D. Lowenstein, famous Boy Scout
her» and veteran fiyer in the world
war., Difficulties that were almost in
surmountable and which ean be ap
preciated only by an aviator who has
attempted flights over strange lands
and in storm and fog, foredoomed the
intrepid Englishmen almost hefore
they started, in the opinion of Low
enstein, Only courage of the highest
kind could actuate <ich men, a cour- |
age which inciden ily represents the |
best that the B« Scout movement
stands for, is the opinion of the boy
who spent seven months as an aerial
bomber in France.
Some of the difticulties and prob
lems that face the daring aviators
are related at length by Lowenstein.
The Boy Scout aviator will be ro-’
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, Lowen

credit for his sucee o his training

description of the perils that beset
Hawker are extremely interesting. He

with the greatest of heroes. It is al
most impossible for the lay mind to

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A Newspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1919,
is a little more—er ~(shall we say
it?—a little more snappy.
- Well, read for vourself 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,” beging the Spence
rian hand, “is a bachelor who has
been disappointed in love and has
lived a hermit’s life 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 thes airplane will be
taken south 40 miles for every 100 it
goes east! Neither their gasoline nor
their endurance could last until they
reached the African coast, at that
rate. The airplane must, therefore,
be headed into the wind (north in
this 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 njane were allowed to drift, any
spotz on the water would appear 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,
'thp sea is not addicted to that human
malady—smallpox-—so “spota’” are
{quita rare on its surface.
FFog is nothing more than a passing
inconvenience for our mariner. If the
weather ~ugh, perhaps the land-'
lubbers hserve that the ship is'
pitching they know if the bnvx"
has sun. s trough of a wave the
next way I raise it again. Sup-‘
pose a hid ' nine blew the front of
the ship oif, and it began to sink
bow first—the people could see the
ship was stnkihg because the water
would begin to rush up the sloping
decks. Overhead our airplane 1s
caught in the same fog. The horizon
is gone. The sea beneath is invisible.
The pilot has no stationary object
from which he can tell in what posi
tion his plane ig. e may be diving
’imo the sea, he caun not iell at the
moment as his altimeter does not i“‘&",
ister as fast as he falls, He may be
climbing at a precirious anaie \\hicl\l
wilk cause him to ‘“‘stall” the plane,
throwing him into a “side-slip” or'
“spin.” The, pline may gradually
!Lurn over on its -ide, apd then <i.!e-l
|slip into these: the pilot will not
| know it until too lage.. It is impos
lfifl’fl‘? for a man in a fog or ¢ loud to
tell what position he has assumed
{relative to the carth, because he has
inothing to jud: his position by! I
‘hm'n had the sperience o '\n'ningl

cloud, before 1 ralized what hod hap

“These are b 1 a féw of the inumer
able difficultie: that those two men
have faced. If ‘heif ope motor failed
they were doomed,jas the plane did
not have pontcong and would soon
sink under the 't ne waves of the
Atlantie. They hagno ships below to
‘make him a desirable wife. Pnfor
tunately, he does not tell her his in
tention.”
A bad mistake, that.
“Embruy’s nephew, Captain Lovell,
has fallen desperately in love with
Johanna, the wifé of Goodlake, Em
bruy’s best friend. Johanna is what
one might call a ‘vamp.” She has lov

who sold over ten bonds im our troop.

gold, and will @8 the German helmet.
F‘ridnf afternoon we went on a hike
to Littles Mill. We found a good

night. There was an opl wooden bench

jhad the Scout meeting. Mr. B. .
Boswell, our assistant scoutmaster, had
charge.
The boys spread their blankets on the
lground and built a big campfire. We
ate supper and Richard Hubbard, Claud
Cooper and Leon’ West took first class
Scout tests. Chabel Cox took cooking.
Chabel Cox blew taps at 10 p. m. and
we had to almost run most of the boys
to bed. Two boys made hammocks
from their blankets with Scout ropes

When the morning came we walked
up the creek and found a nice swimming
