WASHINGTON, D. C.— American
Red Cross chapter volunteers have
made 1,296,017 -garments and more
than 10,000,000 surgical dressings
for the European war relief, it wa3
announced here.
Throughout the country more
than 500,000 women volunteers are
sewing, knitting and producing
dressings for war victims, accord-
ing to Mrs. Dwight P. Davis, newly
appointed director of Volunteer Ser-
vices. »
Nearly three-quarters of th» 3 700
Red Crosq chaptergj^hroughout the
country are engaged-* In garment
production, she said, while the sur-
gical dressing program Is being
conducted in approximately 500 of
the larger chapters.
Specifications for surgical dress-
ings are being sent to Great Brit-
ain have been furnished by the Brit-
ish Red Cross on a basic of tvpes
familiar to British surgeons. Child-
ren’s sweaters and dresses are the
two most popular items among the
production units, Mrs. Davis said.
Since the outbreak of the war, 75,-
000 Infants’ layettes have been pro-
duced, each consisting of 30 essen-
tial articles.
In addition to articles of clothing
which are being made, volunteers
ALIENS IN OUR MIDST
JN EVERY POSTOFFICE in the United States the regis-
tration of aliens was scheduled to begin on August 27th.
It has been estimated that there are considerably more
than three million persons of foreign birth and allegiance
living in this country. Nobody knows exactly how many
there are.
As we understand it, this is not a “drive” against alien
residents as such No fpreign-born resident who has not wnicn arP Dplne maflP. VOMintPPrP
oecome a naturalized citizen has anything to fear unless have produced thousands of hosptt-
it should be disclosed that he or she entered the United |al garments such as bed shirts, and
States illegally, or that his purpose in entering and remain-1 cpnva,e8ce,n*11robea 7h!',,.fre b7nK
ing here is to carry on enterprises designed to undermine URftd in
American institutions.
We anticipate, however, that as the identity of resident
aliens is disclosed there will be a “drive” of some sort to
induce them to apply for naturalization papers. And why
not?
Why should anyone be allowed indefinitely to enjoy
the rights guaranteed to every citizen without sharing
the obligations as well as the blessings of citizenship? One
of those obligations, to which every naturalized citizen
must make solemn oath, is to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States.
The occasion of the induction of alien residents into
American citizenship ought to be made a public ceremony
in every community, whether there is but one or hundreds
of such new citizens.

INTEGRITY
No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the
vantage-ground of truth.
—FRANCIS BACON
What we have in us of the image of God is the love of
truth and justice.
—DEMOSTHENES
The man of integrity is one who makes it his constant
rule to follow the road of duty, according as Truth and
the voice of his conscience point it out to him.
—MARY BAKER EDDY
There is no evil we canot face or fly from, but the con-
sciousness of duty disregarded.
—DANIEL WEBSTER
You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have
a right to know it all. But let all you tell be truth.

Senator-Elect Mauritz
Believes Newspaper
Advertising Pays
In a letter addressed to
the editor last week, Senator-
elect Fred Mauritz took oc-
casion to give the country
newspapers a “plug,” ex-
pressing his conviction in its
effectiveness. He states he is
completely “sold” on the use
of local newspapers as a
means of getting facts before
the public, as “they are care-
fully read, and respected by
the public.”
The letter:
J AM enclosing a statement to the
people of this senatorial district,
which I hope you will publish In
your news columns.
In addition. I want to thank you
for the cooperation you have (riven
me in my race for State Senator.
Perhaps the friends of no candidate
for public office have ever before
relied so heavily on newspaper ad-
vertising to present the case of a
candidate to the people as have my
friends. The results of this cam-

|F I possessed a shop or store,

I’d never let some gloomy guy *
Offend the folks who come to buy.
I’d never keep the boy or clerk
With mental Toothache at his work,
Nor let the man who draws my pay
Drive customers of mine away.
I’d treat the man who takes my time
And spends a nickel or a dime
With courtesy and make him feel
That I was glad to close the deal.
Because tomorrow (who can tell?)
He may want the goods I have to sell,
And in that case how glad he’ll be
To spend his dollars all with me.

CITIZENSHIP THOUGHT ♦ Big
armies and navies, huge fleets of
airplanes, and vast stores of guns
and munitions are not enough to
save democracy as it is known to
the citizens of the United States.
The fundamentals of true Christian-
ity will preserve the democracy of
the fathers for the United States as
well as for any country under the
shining sun. The message of the
moment Is to keep fit in body,
mind, and spirit—temperate always,
and be prepared for any emergency
and to answer the clarion call of
sublime duty.
Q. How may a person homestead

A. Bascom Giles, Commissioner of

homesteading provisions of Texas
were repealed years ago. All lands
now disposed of are sold to a pur-
chaser.
