"Why does the Red Cross need
money! The war is over"
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has answered this ques-
ton, and has outlined graphically the
reasons why II Is necessary to raise
/ $15,000,OO0 for its international, ma
tlonal and local work.
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because: The actual war work is
not completed. The Red Cross cannot
! lay down it's responsibilities to the
American soldiers, sailors or marines
until everyone of them has been re-
leased from Sezyice, recovered from
illness or wounds or receiving proper
care, or back in the place I'm the world
! from which the war snatched them.
Because: The American Red Cross
is planning 10 launch II comprehensive
program for peace times, designed to
prevent the needless waste of human
| lives through preventable diseases and
accidents in America; continue and
broaden its home service work and
public nursing first aid, home hygiene
and Junior Red Cross activities.
Because: by a recent act Of Con-
gress medical. surgical and dietary
food supplies valued at s35,000.000
were turned over to the Red Cross by
the government. the supplies having
been purchased for use with the Amer
lean forces. These supplies are scat
tered throughout Europe many of
them far from the places where they
are most needed. The prompt and
efficient distribution and handling of
these supplies means the maintenance
of force OF trained workers where
the supplies are and where they are
most needed.
Because: Pestilence and starvation
have gripped many European coun-
tries because Of the war. These coun-
tries are unable 10 cope with their own
difficulties. and the only force organ
ized with facilities capable of stepping
into the breach and bringing order
from chaos is the Red Cross. Typhus
is sapping the man strength Of many
countries, and the American Red Cross
Is using every available power 10
check il.
Because: The Red Cross must be
prepared TO meet emergencies arising
from disasters at home and abroad.
The Red Cross membership must be
maintained at its present high stan
dard Every enrolment is vote Of
confidence in the past performances of
the American Red Cross and a reaf-
firmation of the belief In the principles
for which II has stood in the past and
It's plans for the future.
The Red Cross. having committed
itself to a definite and comprehensive
program. cannot turn back, and to go
forward IL must have as general
membership as possible and ample
funds TO provide for any contingency.

ENGLISH is COMMON TONGUE
Chinese Girls Learn II to Talk to One
Another

Chinese women students in the Tunl
Flu College, Picking, China. are obliged
TO learn English in order TO talk with
one another because Of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces Of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all OF the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because 10 return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cos. more than q
trip to America and return.
Girls from each OF the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an.
other any more than they can the girls
from northern. southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue
