Nothing "Just as Good'" as Cork Prom the Popular Science Monthly. When a man goes Into a nardware store for a supply of cork for some specific purpose he generally gets what he asks for. The reason why the dealer does not endeavor to persuade him to try something else "Just as good." is because there is nothing else he could offer. Cork is cheap, and for ages it has stood alone In It field of usefulness. It is tough and elastlo and its specific gravity is only 0.24. This, added to' the fact that it is im pervious to water, account for Its use in life preservers. The cork oak, which grows princi pally In Spain, Portugal, Algeria and Southern France, furnishes the supply. Only the outer bark of the tree is used for the commercial product. When the tree has attained a diameter of approximately five Inches, which it usually does by the time It Is 20 years old, the cork, as the first stripping of bark is called, is removed. This cork is so rough, coarse and dense that it has little commercial value. But Its be conceded that thev nastur Now 1 hav wlth others, a lime ; removal does not kill the tree.

"The Red Cross is one of the biggest things In tbe world. It ha slse and object Th object may be unlike the objects of other big things but the manage ment of any big thing in it principles can be applied to all big things re gardless of their nature." "The first act that men do, who are associated In a large undertaking," Mr. Davison said, "is to sit down In a room, at a table, preferably, and de cide definitely whit is to be done. That being settled, they agree as to how It shall be done. Thus the doing of large things Is one of the simplest matters imaginable. And it Is Just a easy to do a big thing as it is to do any other kind, not that the big thing hasn't In tricacies unfound in those that are smaller. I would rather transact busi ness with a government than with a person. Th government is large; the individual isn't. A big thing makes the men engaged in it arrow to its slse at least they so believe. When I meet and talk with a big man, I feel larger than 1 did before. X expand, seem ingly, and my experience is your own, I am sure. When I com In contact with a small man, on the other hand, I am conscious of shrinking to his slse. If he lingers long enough, I am tem porarily demoralized. On this point, call to mind your own sensations under similar circumstances. It is the same with things big ones ar inspiring; smalt ones are not. "The genius for achievement, ko far as my observation can be trusted, lies In common sense, as I have said, and a definite object. These are the ele mentary principles of accomplishment and are as easily workable with large things as small ones." The Red Cross Is now engaged In getting freewill contributions to tbe amount of $100,000,000. Armies of American soldiers are to be followed by thousands of doctors, nurses and ambulances. Hospitals are to be es tablished near the battlefields. Every thing that Is humanly possible will be don to restore the wounded and the ill to health and strength and to lessen th hardships of th fighters In the field.

Peterson of Pendleton are at th "Oregon. phrase cSlned by Mr. Davison him self, of America's battling son at the front. But why can not th government foot the bills and do the work? The inquiry comes naturally to the lips of those but slightly acquainted with their Uncle Sam. As a foster father he is not only a technical red-tapist but about as instantaneous in his er rand of mercy as the slowest man that ever dwelt on earth. a a It was Jean Henri Dunant. a young Swiss, who saw 18,000 Frenchmen and Italians and 20,000 Austnans acad suffering on the battlefield of Sol- fertno. He described th horrors he witnessed in a little book men dying in the sun. men thirsting to death in their fever, men shrieking for help with no response. The "Souvenler de Solferlno." Jean Henri Dunant' little book, brought about th formation of th Red Cross society in the year 11(4. Fourteea na tions signed th treaty of Qtnev for Its creation. Dunant, having spent hi fortune in getting the nations together and their signature to on of tb no at beautiful documents ever written. taught school thereafter for a living. Sacrificial service can be called the key word of the Red Cross organlta tlon. At this moment scores of the finest types of American men a women are giving their days aad nights without compensation to tr.e soldiers and sailors of the repuhlU. They are following the Ideal of Jeaa Henri Dunant, who surrendered all that he had to lessen human misery. Men of wealth and power and rar ability, men like Eliot Wadsworth, the brilliant engineer and great executive, are freely ' devoting their heart and hands to their country. Under the pell of Eliot Wadsworth' vision and spirit, the American Red Cross has doubled its chapters and its members. Services like his can never b paid for In cash. It may be clear to the reader by thla time why the national government can not undertake the work performed by the Red Cross society. Th sweetest of all blessings are those on which love bestows Its promptings. But read what Mr. Davison told the writer: "Well." h said, for h was answer ing a question, "take our country as an illustration. Her congress legislates toward a duly specified purpose. Some thing ia to be done. There are esti mate of cost and plans are precisely marked out. Debates follow. Days pass; often weeks. Th law at last goes Into th book of statutes. Around It are all the guards known to red-tape. I am not censuring: only explaining. "Now th Red Cros Is ready al ways to act. Before the call has time to send Its echo back, th Red Cross has begun Its relief. Governments must first know of a need. The Red Cross prepares to meet the need before it Is felt. Governments move deliber ately; the Red Crosa immediately. "Governments read over the laws, hunting leisurely. If learnedly and conscientiously, for their authority The Red Cross ha no law but human ity. Governments. In their operations, Include everybody, dealing with masses or classes. The Red Cross sees the one man who suffers and his esse at the moment is paramount." Mr. Davison came to the colors as a volunteer. There was a grave con ference in Washington when America went to war with th Prussians. Mem bers of the cabinet met with the of ficers of th Red Cross society. Mr. Davison, having been asked to attend, was present. Battles on land and sea were sure to come. What was tbe duty of the American people toward the 111 and wounded? How could that duty be performed? Three times In Europe alno th Huns, their helmets glowing In th sun, marched toward Paris, Mr. Davi son knew the story of war, having seen war and not only having read about it In newspapers and books. He was present at th conference because of his great skill as a man of business. He was there, also, bis conferee soon learned, neeauae hi heart was in it. What should b done? Mr. Davison answered the question and answered it so feelingly and sensibly, bringing Into the conference at tin same time th very atmosphere of battle, that Presi dent Wilson urged him to accept tbe chairmanship of th Red Cross war council. And so th mighty house of Morgan loaned one of it most saga cious and energetic partner to th government or the United State. Nev ertheless Henry P. Davison Is a volon teer. He Is marching under the Stars and Stripes, no less an enlisted man , than any private in the rank.

"Do you be lieve that God can do anything?" asked the older brother. "Of course? I know he can." said Jack. "Then," asked the wise brother, "can he malt a ston. so heavy that he ean't lift itr But it failed to fease the small de fender of the faith. "Sure he can. h repled; "he can make the ston. and tne mak himself weak."
