HELP THE FLOOD VICTIMS.

/ The Red Cross has issued an urgent
| appeal for funds for the relief of suf-
ferers from the Mississippi floods. Mon
ey in large amounts is needed and need
| ed at once to clothe and feed thousands
| of refugees, to send nurses and doctors
to see that hastily patched-up refugee
camps do not become hotbeds for ty-
phoid and malaria, and, as the flood
subsidies, to re-establish the sufferers
in their homes where houses, stock.
| fences-all the means of livelihood
are swept away.
Ernest P Bicknell, director of the
American Red Cross, issues the appeal
and describes the situation in detail IN
this weeks issue of The Survey mag
azine, which is the accredited spokes-
man for the organization. He shows
how the flood has been progressive
and cumulative. Starting at Cairo, ILL.,,
April 1, it has followed the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers down their courses
| to New Orleans. A great belt of devas-
tated country lies in the floods path.
Farms, villages and cities have been
| wrecked. Livestock is dead. Houses
| were carried away. One hundred and
fifty thousand people are homeless.
There are $4,000 refugees in and about
only two of the many flooded districts
at Vicksburg, Miss, and Helena, Ark.
The Army has done splendid work,
Mr.. Bicknell says, in rushing supplies,
forming refugee camps, rescuing sur
vivors. But the Red Cross must now
take charge all down the course of the
! rampaging rivers. 1t must continue TO
feed the people, maintain order and
regulate sanitation, to nurse the sick,
to provide for the babies that were
| born in the army tents.
Gradually it must re-establish the
people in their homes. That is the big
gest task of all. For that task, the
Red Cross is particularly we'll equipped.
It's agents are all through the stricken
districts. The need is for money in
generous sums.
Mr. Bicknell points out that the com
paratively slow progress of the flood
has robbed it of the elements of sur
prise and horror which have been i'm
portant parts in raising large relief
funds following sudden disaster The
prompt action of the Army has led
some to think that all needs Lave been
met. Just the contrary is the case.
To keep tens of thousands of people
well in camps and to restore them to
their homes and to self-support is
task measuring up in many respects
to the Red Cross work at San Fran
cisco.
The excellent suggestion is made
that contributions to this fund can be
sent to the mayors of cities or the
governors of states.

Here is meat for we who hunger
for the strong meat of success, but
fear to sink your teeth in. All sue
cess is simple-there is nothing in
the world that approaches the abso-
lutte simplicity of efficient work. 1t
is stranger to completely and the
apparently tangled web of the big
mans activities is to him q simple
combination of thousand simple
things and not a tangle anywhere.
Succeeding is progress of picking
out one vital thing and going after it.
The big man is one who can keep a
big waiting list and not worry about
it-one who can let numberless things
accumulate at his elbow without dis
tracing his thoughts from the task at
hand and then, in good time, go back
and pick up the ends and dispose of
them, one at a time. The efficient
man concentrates his energies upon a
single obstacle and wears it away,
quickly, accurately, completely. This
is real speed and the essence of labor
the important thing and dispose of it
promptly is the greatest labor saving
machine ever created.
Skill once attained, and there are
few who cannot attain 1.-THE high
est efficiency consists in keeping cool
and maintaining ones grip on the
situation. We are speaking now of
big men, not those whose inability to
concentrate keeps them forever in
the ranks of mere machines or clerks
or other underlings. Keeping cool is
largely a matter of avoiding worry,
and maintaining ones grip is en-
tireIy a matter of centering the at
tention upon unit small enough to
be handled expeditious1y and thor
oughly. He who tries to keep his
mind upon a multitude of details al
ways fails. The universal habit of
human thought confines it to a unit.
We naturally think in units and work
in units. Anything beyond the unit
is strain upon any Intelligence. More
especially is it a strain upon the
from the thinker. We can under
stand no group of things until we
unity them by considering them as re-
lated to each other, which is the same
as considering them as parts of a
whole. To remember this simple rule
of psychology, which you may or may
not find in any of the standard theo-
retical works upon that subject, is to
enhance your chances of success.
Nothing is too big for you if you
v-c~lS in n-its. in eingle things. Every
thing is too big for you If your mind
is clustered with number of confus-
ing ideas and conceptions.
Succeeding is q process of simplifi-
cation. The operation consists in pick
ing out the vital thing and hammer
ing away at it until you have nodded
it to your purpose and then going af-
ter the next most important thing.
For success. to the successful is the
simplest thing in the world.-(Copy-
right, 1912, by w. E. Williams.)

Poor little Milly. She had a family

She was too proud to go about with

not care for him, and he began to look
at other girls. Hard work, small wages,
dependent relatives and faithless lover,
were more than Milly's strength could
bear. Her mother and sister are now
self-supporting. The next time she sees
her young man she will be wearing
pretty clothes and showing him that
she is willing to go to picture shows
and beach dances with him.
