designed to benefit the small owners for
whom the selling races were originally
Intended. Mr.. Brown. who IL known
among his close friends as Curiey said:
"In the belief that the present condi-
tions governing selling races are wrong

be an improvement. When winners are

on Red Cross relief work In Mexico

Amcrtcon Red Cross Nogdstne, Just is

The article reches that on october 3

months previously 1t had asked to take

suit OF the decision to recognize Car

says:

curing daily from starvation and the
country as whole was In pitiable

that under the most favorable conditions
Il would be possible only slightly to

have not wholly dispelled the feeling OF
sincere regret on the part of the Amer
ican Red Cross over relinquishiug its
part of the relief work.
1T Is hard. for instance. TO leave "A
