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

Could, th writing man had asked In

"Let us start right." he said. "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.
Many of the ablest business men of
the nation are personally interested in

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.

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.

to th tinkler attached strings, which
he Jerked from th front porch. Th

of Jerking the strings all day long,.
Now, he has a watur wheel that runs

strings to th churn dasher. As th
