Just how does the Red Cross begin
work when an emergency arises. Most
persons know, in general way, that
the Red Cross is on the ground very
quickly after a disaster, and rescues
the living, buries the dead and cares
for the destitute; but perhaps few
know how the first step is taken, or
who takes it, or what he does next.
This story is meant to show just what
was done, and how, when the tornado
of May % laid waste the cities of Mat
tOOn and Charleston, ILL.,, with loss of
nearly 100 lives, 1000 persons made
homeless, and property worth millions
destroyed.
1t was late on q Saturday afternoon
when news of the disaster began to
trickle from the telegraph wires to the
newspapers. Offices and shops were
closed, and Chicago had gone home to
its dinner and it's Saturday evening
relaXatiOns. The first word to the Red
Cross of the storm came through q
Chicago paper to Charles Lee Bryson
Of the central division staff Of the
Red Cross. One Of the editors called
Mr.. BrySOn at his home and told him
what had happened, feeling sure the
Red Cross would want to get on the
job"
1t did. Director John J. O'COnn0l
of the central division was in Wash

council, at which it was determined t
ask the country for S100000,0O0. Blu
Mr.. Bryson located Walter Davidson

remained late at the office to finisl

situation instantly.

A Word for the Bicycle.

Worcester leads the revival of gen.
eral use of the bicycle by furnishing
most of the silent tandem wheels for
the six-day contest in New York this
week This country cannot lose Wor-
cester Probably it knows better than
to try anything like that. The bicycle
has had a long rest while the multitude
has been satisfying it's disposition for
riding by building and riding automo-
biles and motor cycles, but the man
power vehicle is coming out with the
next open season for another long and
probably permanent run. 1t is no long
err the plaything for the many. but the
necessary means of quick local transit
for a large number who live too far
away from their work to make walking
economical, and who need the open-air
exercise for an hour or more night and
morning even more than they need to
economize the nickels which the trolley
cars cost them. The bicycle properly
used is one of the greatest health
agencies this country can use to ad-
vantage by the million. and it is we'll
within the expense limit of many mil
lions of men and women. as well as
the young people. Walking is pre-
scribed for more people than can at
ford the time to take that cure. But
the bicycle is handy to economize that
time and it provides the exercise at the
same time.
