IN THE RED CROSS
Over 900 Officers and Employees Re-
quired for Service.

Washington, D. c.. Sept S.-Henry
p Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross
War Council, authorizes the follow
ing:
1t is the plan of the War Council
of the Red Cross to publish monthly
a statement concerning it's finance and
administration, and every detail which
may be found to be of interest to the
public will be made known. The fol-
| lowing facts concerning salaries paid
by the Red Cross may prove of inter
est to the public.
One year ago. on a peace basis, with
only about 200 Chapters and a little
over 100000 members. with annual
funds of only a few hundred thousand
dollars, the Red Cross employed at its
headquarters in Washington rs paid
| officers and employees. of whom 20 re-
ceived salaries of from $4,000 to
$500.
At the present time. with the Red
/ Chapters to administer. 3,621.01
members and a war fund Of 500, 900
| 600 pledged, Red Cross National
headquarters employs 624 paid Off
GERS and employees, of whom 46 are
paid salaries of 1000 year or more.
! In other words, since war was de-
I clared, $50 paid officers and employees
have been added to Red Cross head
quarters staff. and of that number
II receive salaries of from $4,000 to
! 9O,UOO d year Inc n1SneSC salary
added since war was declared is
$4,000. The highest paid official in
the national organization received
$500, and he was on the staff on a
peace basis.
OF those receiving less than $4,000
| a year, 40 now receive salaries of over
a hundred dollars month. There are
3S clerks being paid one hundred dol
lars, while clerks and messengers re-
ceiving less than 500, number 491.
In addition to paid officers and en-
ployeS in national headquarters, the
number of full-time volunteers now
contributing their. services to the Red
Cross is II. Practically all the i'm
portant administrative positions Great
ed since war was declared are filled
| by volunteers.
| During the last month, altho the
number of Red Cross members has
increased from 2,547, Alp to 1921, oil,
and the administrative work at ma
tional headquarters has increased sub
stantially, the number of paid en-
ployes has decreased from 707 to 624.
This is partly to be accounted for by
the decentralization of the work
among thirteen territorial divisions
under new plan of organization
/ adopted by the war council

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross opened for the win
ter'S work last Tuesday at Crosby
Brothers store. In response to the ap-
peal for knitters to make articles be-
fore cold weather, a large number of
workers for that special service have
been appearing daily. This has been
very gratifying to those in charge, and
still more can be used. In addition,
those in charge wish to call attention
to the fact that a great many workers
are also needed for making hospital
supplies. Hospital linens and cloth
ing must be made in abundance. This
is, after all, the chief work for the
winter and a big supply must be turn
ed out every day.
The regular meeting of the board of
directors of the Topeka chapter of the
American Red Cross was held Thurs
dast afternoon at Memorial hall.
A check for $685. has been receiv-
ed for Red Cross work from the ST
Elizabeth club, a sewing organization
of Topeka women.
Before the ammunition train de-
parted from Topeka, it received from
the Topeka Red Cross thru Mrs. A. NJ.
Fuller, chairman of supplies for fight
ing men, 100 wash basins, 80 buckets,
200 bars of soap and supply of

Hoods Famous Hoax.

The amusing hoax at Abergavenny
reminds correspondent of one or two
historic leg-pullings in the same line
One was the great Berners street hoax
engineered by Theodore Hook, and
which was so successful that its orig.
inator had to clear out of the country
for q while.
He sent out from a certain address
thousands of orders, invitations, etc,
all to eventuate at the same place
and hour. The result was that at the
time in question the street and the
thOroughfares leading to it were
choked with traffic, there was Il spe-
cies Of riot, and after the fun" had
cleared away the debris made the place
look like Il battlefield.
An earlier hoax was also perpe-
trated in London, viz, that on a GER
tain night at a house of entertain
ment an Italian conjurer-Signor Cap
itello JumpedO-would perform GER
tain miraculous feats, winding up by
climbing into quart bottle. A huge
crowd assembled, and when they found
they had been had" they set to work
wrecking the place.-Cardir Western
