RED CROSS WAR
WORK TO SHIFT
TO CIVILIANS

What the Red Cross did for sold
llers and families of soldiers during
the war and after the war through its
Home Service Department, it plans
to do for civilians and for entire
communities in the future, according
to Miss Ruth Clark, who has Just
returned home after attending a spec
lal conference of trained home SER
vice workers of the Red Cross in At
lanta.
THE conference was attended by
home service workers from five South
ern states" she said, in describing
the plans of the Red Cross, "and it
was most enthusiastic and instructive.
We were addressed by the heads of
the various departments of Southern
Division headquarters, who informed
US of the very latest achievements
and plans of their departments, in
spired us with enthusiasm for the
Third Red Gross Roll Call, November
2-11, and gave us many valuable sug-

workers can cooperate with other
departments in carrying on the work
of the entire Red Cross.
Among the speakers were J. l..
Mcmillan, acting associate manager
of the Southern division, who ex-
planned the purposes of the Third Roll
call; Joseph c. Logan, director of
civilian relief; and Miss Jane Van
De Vrede, head of the department
OF nursing. MIR. Logan preslueu
through every session. There were
two and three sessions each day and
opportunity was afforded for detail
ed consideration OF the questions
raised by all of those in attendance.
1t was hard working and practical
meeting and will be of invaluable
help to those who were present.
/ ''Under the peace-time program of
the Red Cross, the home service sec
tion will be developed into a benefit
to all communities where there is
need for work which no other agency
i is prepared to do. Instead of confin-
| ing its work to looking after soldiers
and ex-service men and their families,
settling their allotments, insurance
and other business with the govern
ment, helping them to get jobs and
in other ways being of all possible
assistance to them, it will utilize its
resources to develop community work
and meet community needs. The
home service section of the Red Cross
represents the only medium in a great
many communities for the employ
ment of a full-time trained socia
worker directed and aided by com
mittee of local people"

GOOD ROAD POSSIBILITIES AS THEY
HAVE BEEN OUTLINED FOR KANSAS

association to get out his state map
and see if he can improve the system,
if possible without increasing the
mileage.
If the automobile owners are to pay
the cost, as has been suggested by the
directors of the association, members
of the highway commission, Governor
Capper and a large number of prom
inent road boosters in Kansas, then
these roads should be so located as to
serve the very best interests of the
people who meet the cost. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 to 5000 miles of
hard surfaced roads could be con-
structed that would carry over 80
per cent of the automobile and truck
traffic of the stae.
Tweny-fcur Good Reasons
There are many good reasons why
Kansas should build at least 5000
miles of hard surfaced roads, to be
paid for with a bond issue and then
bonds and interest to be met from
the state automobile license fees,
ranging over a period of twenty-five
to thirty years. Twenty-four of these
reasons are included in the following
outline:
Kansas people need the hard roads
and can we'll afford to build them.
There are now more than 10000
autos and trucks in Kansas and at an
average cost of $1,000 each they rep
resent an approximate investment Of
100000. These motor vehicles
do not and can not be operated eco
nomicaHy and efficiently over dirt
roads, especially when the roads are
muddy.

By J. FRANK SMITH

BUILDING good roads promises to
- become the principal industry in
Kansas for the next few years. With
practically every farmer in the state
and most of the business and profess
sional men demanding better means
of transportation, in order to more
closely link the producer with the
consumer, the Kansas Good Roads as
ISOLATION and the state highway COM
mission are planning comprehensive
system of roads that will reach all the
principal towns and cities, and a ma
jority of the population of the state
The accompanying map illustrates
about 1900 miles of the most impor-
tant highways in the state. If the
big bodybuilding program, as out
lined at a recent meeting of the direc-
tors of the Kansas Good Roads asso-
citation, is adopted by the legislature
it is likely that the legislature will lay
out system of roads to be improved
of approximately 5000 miles. Some
of the roads on the map might be
marked off entirely and others added
to make up the 5000 miles.
Suggestions Invited
The system outlined on the map
would place about 80 per cent of the
population and taxable property
within a very few miles of the paved
roads. The system outlined, however,
is only tentative and is by no means
adopted by the Good Roads associa-
ton. 1t is merely suggestion for q
system that will serve the greatest
number of persons with the fewest
number of miles. Every person inter
ested in good roads is invited by the

federal aid to good roads. If this
passes it will give Kansas enough
federal funds to meet at least 25 per
cent to so per cent of the cost of the
whole system. The state should be
in position to match the federal
money as fast as it can be obtained,
without so much red tape by benefit
districts, and this would insure COM
plete, connected system to be built in
the shortest possible time.
The 100000 American soldiers
who have been in France and seen
the good roads that saved the world
from the Huns will soon be back and
every one will be strong advocate of
durable roads. Kansas will soon
have nearly 100000 of them back on
the farms and in other walks of life
and they will insist that this big, rich

MUST BE MELTED in TOWER
Only Way City Of st. Louis Can Get
Rid Of Bell Which Renders
Structure Unsafe.

The two-ton bell which hangs in
the tower of the city hall has made the
tower unsafe, but the bell is so large
it would be dangerous to try to take
1t down, so 1t is to be melted right
where it is with acetylene blow
torches, such as are commonly seen
in use by workmen repairing car
tracks, says the St Louis Post Dis
patch.
Building Commissioner McKelvey
pronounced the tower unsafe as long
as the bell remains, because the steel
supports have been corroded. More
over he said, an attempt to lower the
bell would be very dangerous, there
fore the decision to take it down a
bucketful at a time.
The only time in recent years that
the bell has been rung was the day of
the armistice celebration. It was rung
when the building was constructed in
1904, The bell cost about $1,000. The
expense of removing it will be about
$500. 1t is six feet high and four
feet in diameter at the base.
