Red Cross courses in ftr^t aid to the injured have been instrumental in preventing much suffering, making more effective the work of physicians and reducing time lost from employment by workers in factories, mines and other industries. This service has resulted universally in lowering accident insurance rates in those industries where courses have been given. The Red Cross is also giving the course extensively <to police and fire departments throughout the country. :< „ Course in Life-Saving ; 1 Life-saving or water first-aid Instruction, was carried on extensively, 74,274 individuals having taken the course last year making a total of 634,247 certificates issued to date. Junior Red Cross organized in the schools is one of the most thrilling and satisfactory departments of Red Cross service. More than seven million juniors were enrolled during the year and are engaged in carrying on civic and service programs in their own communities and carrying on correspondence with exchange of interesting materials with the children of other nations, which means practically the whole world. Volunteer services which have a distinct organization and objective include production of garments, surgical dressings, etc., for use in hospitals and communities,- canteen corps, motor corps, health aides, transcribing Braille, hospital service, home service, staff assistance and administrative service.- The time of enrollment is the period between Armistice day (November 11) and Thanksgiving day (November) 28).

Denominations rather than suits of diamonds, clubs,* spades and hearts' are manipulated in much the same wsus. but not so Rictorially. Therens a game called solitaire that is pla.ved with marbles on a board. It Is intriguing. PUEZIOS of all sorts nod descriptions come to keep a person mentally occupied, They take just enough phys* leal activity to co-ordinate mind and body without actual exertion. ARjagrams and- cross-word puzzles are a delight to thonsands of people. Besides the puzzles, in newspapers, books of these entertaining types of solitaire are on, the market.

Without being a Pollyanna, we caa be thankful much more often than we are. It is more than likely that cit> cumstarices, and other people are part? ly or entirely responsible for the goo# as well as the bad things. But for the fortunate matters we are prone to feel that, to our own efforts, credit is' due. It Is not suggested that w# attribute to misfortunes any neejJ of good fortune. However, if we sea# the former carefully we shall find that there are certain aspects not all bad* For these flecks and areas of goo<| we can rejoice.
