RED CROSS IMPROVEMENTS
Should Be Organized Like Fire De-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington The American Red
Cross must be organized like a fire
department with adequate headquar'
tiers and centralized organizations be-
fore it can measure up to its real pow.
err, said Edward P. Bicknell, national
director of the Red Cross, before a
subcommittee of the Senate finance
committee.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, chairman
of the national relief committee; Gen.
Geo. w. Davis, former Judge advocate.
general of the army: Senator. Burton
and Mr.. Bicknell urged the Senate
committee to put into the pending def
cheney appropriation bill an appropria-
ton of 100000 for building for the
Red Cross, to be a memorial to the
northern and southern women of the
Civil war.
Miss Boardman said the Red Cross
administered fully $1O.OO0,0OO in re-
lief work during the last seven and a
half years. The construction of the
proposed memorial building would cost
100000 and the Red Cross has receiv
ed pledges of much of the addition.

Washington Is Hopeful,

Washington. Absolute optimism
prevails here as to the Mexican situa-
ton, which is regarded as justifying
confident expectations of an early
realization of a legal solution of the
problems which have vexed that
troubled country in varying degrees
of suffering and tragedy since the
overthrow of the Diaz regime. This
optimistic belief, so manifest in of.
fetal circles, was based on an under
standing that the Mexican elections
called for October 26 will be postponed
and a legal election held later under
more favorable circumstances than
obtain &C this time.

rowly averted.
The action of the speaker preclpitat'

one moment seemed like bird in the
distance: few seconds later the craft
was passing with shrill whirring pro
peiler, and then again rapidly dWin
died In size.
The inventor of the winning mono
plane, Armand Deperdussin, did no
see its victory, as he was in detention
awaiting trial on charges of obtaining
money by illegal pretenses to develop
his works.

them. With proper precaution take

waste would be eliminated.
