MILE. DE SCUDERI.

Madeline de Scuderi, a famous authoress, was born at Harve de Grace, France, early in June 1907. Her family was nole, tu bhad lost its fortune. Her mother died while she was child and she was adopted by an uncle; as he could not leave her money, spared nothing in pains and in expense in giving her a good ed- ucation Mile. de Scuderi soon be- gan to make a name for herself by her writings, which were voluminous Her romances alone occupy about fifty volumes of from five to fifteen hundred pages each The world has long ago lost its taste for her style of writing, which was highly sent1- mental, and the Scuderi romances would only move a modern novel reader to laughter and then to yawn- ing and sleep. She laid her scenes nominally in ancient times and in the East but her characters are only French men and women rnasquerad- ing under oriental names.

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro-
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be APP.
pointed in Many Com
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re-
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed,
it means that you are considered
brave, considerate, even-tempered
and strong. To be appointed to this
committee is one of the highest hon
ors that the American Red Cross can
bestow upon you; for the Disaster
Relief Committee, recently explained
by Harry L. Hopkins, director of
Civilian Relief, Gulf Division, Amer
lean Red Cross, is the great body of
straight-thinking, quick-acting, de-
pendable persons, organized in each
community to peet disasters which
arise, be they floor, fire, famine, ex-
plosions, shipwreck, or earthquake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganized in 1881, it has participated
in $50 disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure of twelve
and half million dollars. This COW
ers the period up to June 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disas-
tiers a year. Latest statistics COM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Cross, show twelve disasters,
and the Red Cross gave relief in ev-
cry onel
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood in 1914. Then there was an
other flood in Natchez in 1916, and
more floods and the boil weevil men
ace in Alabama in 1917. In fact,
1917 was bad year for disasters in
the South, for during the summer the
tornadoes at Village Springs and Car
bon Hill and New Hope, Alabama,
brought about much suffering. Ev-
erybody in this vicinity remembers
the Lake Charles, Louisiana, storm in
1918, in which the Gulf Division Red
Cross furnished such great aid, and
at which time Harry L. Hopkins, di-
director of civilian relief, went to
Lake Charles and directed the cree
ton of the tent city. A total of
$4,000 was expended in this disas-
ter alone. And in 1919 the Corpus
Christi, Texas, storm was robbed of
much of its horror through the
prompt action of the Red Cross.
Of these ten disasters in the Gulf
Division in recent years, the Red
Cross has given supplies and spent
money to the extent Of approx
$108,0O0.

Gives More Aid Than Ever. to Serv-
ice Mems Families.
More than double the amount of
money normally spent per month for
the relief of families of service men
was spent during the month of Au-
gut by the Gulf Division of the
American Red Cross, according to a
statement made Saturday by Harry
L. Hopkins, director of Civilian Re-
lief. Up to August, 1919, total of
$114,624.76 had been spent for this
work in Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August $12,-
264.25 was spent for the same pur-
pose in these states.
"This makes a total" said Mr..
Hopkins, "of $126,8S9.1O expended
for the relief of families of soldiers
in the Gulf Division, of which sum
tenth was spent during the month
of August. The reason for this is
primarily the fact that most able
bodied soldiers are discharged by this
time and are fully able to take care
of their families themselves. Those
who remain are to a large degree
those who are still in the hospitals
and who can do nothing for the per-
sons dependent upon them.
"a very significant feature of this
report is the striking manner in
which it emphasizes the need for the
continuation of the Red Cross work
wen in times of peace. Obviously,
| we are spending more for the re-
| # of soldiers families in August
2arly year after the ending Of the
Ear-than we were during the war
Itself, our work is far from finished.
incidentally, this Home Service
Eork is only one branch of the tre-
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out for
itself. The other departments are
fully as important to the welfare of
every community in the Gulf states.
It is for this reason that the Red
Cross is holding a third annual roll
call this year, November 2 to II.

sion, which includes Alabama, Louis

a Home Service Section has been es-

There are 1921 Home Service work
