Earaerson Calls Attention to the Red Cross Roll Call, Nov. 11 to 28 It is a privilege to call to the attention of the people of Illinois, the annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross, which will be held between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day, November 11 to 28. During this time the yearly membership enrollment will be held throughout the United States. Where calamity may strike tomorrow is uncertain. There is nothing definite about disaster except that immediately following it, the American Red Cross will be on the job relieving suffering and feeding the hungry. And the Red Cross will not,quit there; it will help the needy to re-establish themselves without becoming public charges. During its forty-five years of disaster relief experience the Red Cross has not once failed to fulfill its mission. In Illinois during the last year it extended aid to flood and storm victims in Williamson, Alexander, Pulaski, Stephenson and Adams Counties. It has also eased the way for disabled World War Veterans by solving home problems that interferred with their continued medical attention. Its nuTses may he found going without ostentation into the homes and the schools of our state on their ejrrands of mercy and health. Maintenance of its administrative organization, which constitutes the shock troops in times of disaster, is dependent on the enrolment of memberships by its chapters. Every Illinois man and woman should be glad to do his part in preserving the efficiency and virility of the American Red Cross by becoming a meaner of the organization.

Race Suicide Seems Unknown in Nebraska Schuyler, Neb.--A recent dispute arising over the' largest family in the state revealed that Mr. and Mrs. Edward Feldhacker, of Hartlngton, are parents of 18 living children. Then it was found that in the John P. Kucera family of near Linwood, there are 17 living children. The J. L. Longacre family, of Schuyler, also made a -bid for the title, having 12 boys and four girls living and two children dead.

Proposed Super-State of Europe Offer# Interesting Geographic Comparison. Washington.--How would a United States of Europe, the new super-state proposed at Geneva, compare with the United Statesrof America? "Irrespective of its political aspects or its feasibility, the suggestion affords an opportunity for an interest* teg geographic comparison," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from Its headquarters In Washington, D. O. "As proposed the European federation would number 27 sovereign states., Russia is omitted. Principalities like Monaco and Liechtenstein, also San MaHno, and Andorra and the Free City of Danzig do not come within the •cope of the following comparisons. "Thl United States of America Is one and one-half times greater In area," says the bulletin, "but citizens of the 'United States of Europe' would outnumber Americans In the proportion of 8 to 1. "The Texas of 'U. 8. B.' would be France; Luxembourg its Rhode Island Both are smaller than their American counterparts, but only slightly smaller. "Relative size raises a question which will stump most Americans. It Is this: of the four biggest American, states, how many are larger than the four largest European countries excluding Russia? The answer: One. France the European Texas. "Giant Texas is larger than France, but only one-fifth larger. California, Montana, and New Mexico are each smaller in area than Spain, Germany or Sweden. "So much geographic instruction stresses the small ness of Europe by American prairie standards that it is surprising to discover that Holland is larger than Maryland, that Finland would carve into three New Tork states, and that the total square miles of Oregon and of the Serb, Croat, Slovene state are nearly IdentlcaL "Striking contrasts between Europe and America turn up In the field, of population. In the United States the average number of persons per square mile is 35; in Europe, 127. Nevada jpust miraculously spread seven-tenths of a person to each square mile while Belgium, equally miraculously, must squeeze 670 men, women and children on one average square mile. Tet Rhode Island and Massachusetts are each more densely inhabited, according to area, than the United Kingdom or Germany. * "A united Europe's man power overshadows America tremendously. AH the people of the six most populous American states: New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and California, number 8.000,000 less than the population of Germany. Little Luxembourg, lost In Europe like a slice of olive in a cream cheese sandwich, has more citizens than Wyoming. "Should Europe ever federate America can refer to the 'U. 8. E.' as her •northern neighbor.' If all Europe were brought down to the latitude level of the United States, the Strait of Gibraltar would lie on the Equator, 2,000 miles south of its present position. Disparity of latitude, however, does not prevent parity in climates. Except for the arldness of the .Southwest, America's climates are much like Europe's. "Some of the same problems that brought about the union of the thirteen American colonies make Europe turn toward federation. Thirteen colonies with thirteen tariffs prompted the drafters of the American Constitution to abolish economic borders.

"Unlike the problems of American union in 177fl is Europe's variety of governments. The thirteen colonies had more or less similar governments. Europe's twenty-seven states have almost every style of government possible; republic, limited monarchy, unlimited monarchy, dictatorship, dominion status--each with variations. Two states of Europe are already 'United States.'

The La Brea fossil beds or tar bogs are a series of crater-like, pits filled with oil-soaked land and earth from which scientists have gathered from time to time the fossils of ancient animals and human skulls. From these skeletons scientists have been able to reconstruct phases of primitive history. In 1890 611 was discovered on adjacent lands snd developed. Every productive pit contained masses of bones. One pit had ?68 saber-tooth tigers, seventeen elephants and a number of mastodons and wolves. The oil, thickened through evaporation, bad formed traps for animals which sought to drink the surface water and perished in tbe mire. Indiana Farm Reveals Mound Builder Bones Winchester, Ind.--Prof. Frank M. Setzel of the University of Chicago, who has had a force of men excavating - a mound on the K. EL Fudge farm, northwest of here* has unearthed two skulls and other bones of what ure supposed to have been members of the race of mound builders. They also found two leather pouches .containing copper J bracelets and a quantity of ochre. "The lefe and arm bones appeared to have been buried under the skulls and thrown In promiscuously," Professor Setzel said. Before this find, Professor Setzel had uncovered beds of ochre and charcoal and found a broken spear point, a gadget used In burial ceremony, and a sandstone having the appearance of a whetstone. The skeletons were found at a depth of eight feet. This mound is the center of what was called "The Old Fort," which comprised about thirty acres, walled around with ridges of dirt which fifty years ago were about twelve to fifteen feet high and having an opening on the west side. Professor Setsel Is working under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution and tbe Indiana Historical society.
