HOW To FORM
An AUXIL larry

An auxiliary of the American Red
Cross is temporary, local organi-
zation formed for the purpose of
doing one or more specific kinds of
work and composed of members of
the American Red Gross.
Among the lines of work suitable
for an auxiliary to undertake are:
Making hospital garments or surgi-
cal dressings; organizing classes OF
instruction in first aid, in elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick,
or in home dietetics; securing mem
bers; raising funds or collecting sup
plies in response to an appeal from
the central committee.
AN auxiliary may be formed with
in any group of persons associated
through ties of race, work, or COM
mon interest, such as:
Patriotic organizations.
Fraternal organizations.
Civic associations.
| Clubs, either of men or of women.
| Labor unions.
| Churches or religious societies.
Schools or colleges.
Employees of industrial or CONNER
] cial concerns.
Persons not already associated may
unite in the formation of an auxiliary.
/ An auxiliary may also be formed in
| a town or a given district of city.
/ When an auxiliary of the Red Cross
| is formed within another organiza-
j ton membership in the Red Cross is
! conferred only on those members of
such organization who pay the Red
! Cross dues.
The names of the auxiliary should
/ indicate the part of the community
represented by it. The name of a

! to an auxiliary unless the latter is
/ representative of all elements of the
| be named after persons.

FACTS IN REGARD
To ACCIDENTS IN
UNITED STATES

IF any reasons are needed to con-
vince the public of the necessity for
such work as the American Red Cross
is endeavoring to carry on through its
FIRST Aid Division, 1T is believed the
following statements Will be quite
convincing.
It has been conservatively esti-
mated that between 10000 and 100,-
900 fatal accidents occur annually in
the United States, and that five times
that number of accidents occur
which disable individuals SO that they
can no longer earn their own living.
Computing, very conservatively, the
earning capacity of each of this lat
ter group at $500 per annum, an ag-
gregate money loss of $250,000,900
annually is indicated. These figures,
of course, take no account of ex-
penses incurred by legal claims and
;; damage suits, of the loss to employ
ers of employees, Of charges for sur
gical care, and finally the suffering
| and sadness brought into thousands
Of homes, which can not be meas
ured in terms of dollars and cents.
According to the interstate COM
merce commission, in 1914 there
were 202,964 persons injured in rail-
road accidents, of whom 10,302 were
killed. Of the killed, 265 were pas
sengers, $3.50 employees, and 6,788
were other persons or "trespassers."
In the same period of time, 192, 662
! persons were injured on railroads, Of
whom 1921 were passengers, 1867
212 were railroad employees, and the
remaining 1929 were other persons
! or "trespassers." Trespassing is one
of the greatest evils with which rail-
road companies have to contend.
The United States bureau of mines
reports for 1914 show that out of a
total of 1884 men employed m the
| coal mines of the United States, 2,451
/ were killed, or to put it more graph
ically, one man died for every 200,-
i 600 short tons of coal produced.
4 During tie year 1913, among 1867
278 men employed in the quarries of
the United States, 1873 men were kill
ed, 1902 seriously injured, and
6,647 slightly injured.
In the state of Washington, out of
181 900 men employed in all the in
dustries Of that state, in the first
five month of 1914, 35 per cent OF
$3.50 were employed in the lumber
industry. Among these men in that
short period of time there was a total
of 4,928 accidents. There are said
to be more than 100000 men employ
ed in the lumber camps and mills OF
the United States, but no accurate
statistics are obtainable for the coun-
try at large. Theonly reliable figures
at present available are those from
the state of Washington.

Members of the auxiliary need not
reside in the place where the auxil-

Members of the American Red

there is an auxiliary at large are not
required to become members of such
auxiliary.

The manner of appointment of the

Boston, Mass.-Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses. and those
who wear glasses, will be glad TO
know that Doctors and Eye Specialists
nov agree there is real hope and help
for them. Many whose eyes were

restored and many who once wore
glasses say they have thrown them
