CHRISTMAS RED CROSS roll

Mackenzie r. Todd, of Frankfort,
a man of wide acquaintance and
large experience in handling such
campaigns, who was selected to man
age the Kentucky Division of the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, and who
has offices on the tenth floor of the
Columbia Building, Louisville, is al
ready getting the work in shape, de-
termining to secure at least a million
members in the State. To assist him
in the great work the chapters of the
Red Cross are appealed to and a
manager has been selected In each of
the one hundred and twenty counties,
whose duty it will be to organize
their localities and see that every
one is given the opportunity to be-
come a member of humanity's great
est cause. The plan is to sell men,
berships at 81, the amount to go to-
ward the support of the work at
home and abroad. Each member will
be given button which will be a.
badge of honor, a service flag and a
dozen Christmas seals, the sale of the
seals being discontinued for the sea-
son. The week of December 1928
has been selected for the final drive
for universal membership in the Or
ganization to which it is not only a
duty to belong but the highest priv
ilege. Let it be remembered that the
campaign is not for money but men,
berships and that every person is
urged to enroll

THE WAR EXPOSITION AT GIN
CINNATI, DEC. 1922.

Every effort is being made by the
officials in charge of the War Tro-
phies Exposition, to be given in Gin
cinnati from December IA to %, to
secure a large number of trophies
captured by the soldiers of the Ohio
Valley in the various engagements in
which the troops recruited in this
section participated. 1t is known
that Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and
West Virginia Troops. were conspic-
uous in the fighting at Scissors,
Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods, ST..
Mihiel, The Argonne and the last
great immortal drive on the Mouse.
1t is also known that the Germans
lost an almost unlimited amount Of
equipment, much of which fell into
the hands of the Ohio Valley Troops.
During the last few days the Gin
cinnati Commissioners of the Expo
sition have put forth special efforts
to secure some of these trophies as
soon as they arrive in the United
States. 1t is known that shipments
iof this captured material have al
ready been made, and there is every
reason to believe that much of it will
arrive in time to be included in the
Cincinnati Exposition. Among the
booty taken by the Ohio Valley lnen
in these various engagements are
cannon of the largest caliber, many
of which have been partly demOlish-
ed by shell fire of the Americans;
aeroplanes which were brought
down by the superior tactics of the
American aviators; trench mortars;
flame throwers; minnewerfers; gas
shell fingers; machine guns and
other Boche equipment that failed to
even make the Americans hesitate.
There also will be many Of German
trench rest equipment, showing the
manner in which the Huns arranged
their dugouts for comfort and appar-
emily long habitation, plan which
was nipped by the rapid progress of
the Americans.
Arrangements have been complet-
ed for a series of special entertain
junction with the trophies exhibit.
This latter alone occupied 100000
square feet of space. The special
Music Hall program will include
choral concerts, government moving
pictures, organ recitals, concerts by
Sousa's Great Lakes Naval Training
Station Band, patriotic pageants, tab
leaux by foreign born Americans,
exemplifying native costumes and
customs, addresses by men of interna-
tional prominence, and other attrac-
lions. Information has been received
by the local committee that parties
already are being organized in COM
within one hundred or more
miles of Cincinnati, indicating that
the outlaying districts will be largely
during the run of the
Exposition.

WITH THE COMING OF PEACE
COMES THE RED CROSS.

With the coming of peace, the De-
partment of Nursing of the American
Red Cross plans to establish 0hd
maintain a clearing house of nursing
service, Wherever possible nurses
who have been in service will be as.
sisted to find employment upon their
return home.
Miss V. Lota Lorimer, r. NJ, Lake
Division director of Nursing, has Just
returned from a conference held at
National Red Cross Headquarters
where the program for the future
Red Cross Nursing work was cut
lined.
1.-The Red Cross nurses abroad"
says Miss Lorimer, 'are being asked
under the military establishment to
continue in service until officially
mustered out. There is so much work
yet to be done that there is no telling
how soon the nurses will get home. f"
This employment plan will provide,
through the Red Cross Department of
Nursing, against possible emergen-
cies such as the recent epidemic. All
nurses are urged to enroll with the
Red Cross so as to be available in
community and national crisis.
The Department of Nursing is to
establish in the Lake Division a Pub
lie Health Service in cooperation
with local chapters. A Public Health
supervisor will be maintained by the
division for Kentucky and Indiana.

Peace and Prices.

One of the first statements coming
from the War Department following
the signing of the armistice, was to
the effect that more than billion
dollars worth of contracts had been
cancelled. That was but the begin
ming of the retirement by Uncle Sam
from the buying counter, and the
start on the return trip to condi-
lions of peace in our industrial life.
Roughly calculated the trade bar
ometer is more than twice as high as
in July, 1914. Statistics furnished
by G. R. Dun show that provisions,
clothing, metals, and every kind of
commodity doubled and trebled in
prices between July 1, 1860, and
September 1, 1864. The effects of our
Civil War also radically affected
prices in the European nations. The
end of the Civil War was in sight in
the fall of 1864, and the decline
in prices dates from that period. 1t
continued until the midsummer of
1859. In all commodities the peace
decline amounted to IT'S of the war
rise in the United States. In other
words, for every dollar the typical
commodity went up during the Civil
War and went down seventy-five
cents in the following five years.
The first radical drop was in wages,
but this was restored considerably,
and the rise continued until the panic
of 1873, when labor received seri-
Gus setback from which it recovered
gradually in the coming years. Ma
terials used in all branches of indus
try started rapidly on the decline in
1874, and very soon there was a gen.
eral fall of about sixty per cent. AS
noted the readjustment. or recon
struction period" finally found a
level when the increased price
amounting to dollar went down to
seventy-fve cents. And there the
country remained for many years, un-
til new conditions made new values
and new prices.
So there is your answer to the
question: will prices go back to
where they were before the war;"

that there is undoubtedly big road
