.S1O1 SPENT FOR
EVERY 81 GIVEN
RED CROSS HAD REMARKABLE
RECORD OF ECONOMY IN
WAR.
Money Given In Third Roll Call To
Go Mainly for America and
Americans.

Atlanta, Ga.-There are two facts
about the Third Red Cross Roll Call
which campaign leaders in the south
are emphasizing-one the fact that the
Red Cross has proved its ability and
trustworthiness to handle funds in
business-like way, and the other, the
fact that the money received in the
Third Roll Call will be expended al
most wholly in America for the benefit
of the American people.
When anybody asks whether money
given to the Red Cross will be fritz
tered or squandered, campaign speak
ers turn to it's war record and point to
the remarkable fact that for every dol.
lar given by the American people, $1.01
went to the actual purpose for which
the money was intended. In other
words, each dollar earned two cents
interest. One cent of that two cents
provided for expenses of administra-
ton, and the dollar itself and cent
besides went to actual relief work.
If the Red Cross could do that in
nations were any too careful or econo-
mic in the way they spent money, Red
Cross workers declare, it is certainly
to be believed that the Red Cross will
do as well, at the least, in peace times,
and that money given in the Third
Roll Call will go, not for expenses, but
right where it is most needed and
right where the man or woman who
gave it wanted it go out when he

the money will be spent, they quote

After months of preparation by 1000
Red Cross Chapters, with their $4,000
branches and 10000 auxiliaries, all
over the country, the Third Red Cross
Roll Call for 2O.000,000 members, now
is getting under way with tremen-
dous sweep in every part Of the nation.
From RED Cross Sunday" November
2. through "Armistice Day." November
Il. the great drive will continue.
Not only Red Cross chapters and
Red Cross workers are mobolized to
insure the success of the Roll Call in
the Southern Division, which includes
the state of North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, but
the organized women of these states
have pledged their aid, and the re-
turned soldiers, represented by the
American Legion have pledged their
support as well to a man through
their national officers. Ministers
throughout this division and through
out the United States have taken up
the cause.
The need of the Roll Call and for
those who will answer "Here!" can be
set forth tersely. The Red Cross
fights for American humanity - it
fights against ignorance, sickness, suf-
fering and misery in every form. For
the Red Cross, the war is not over.
And did you think the war was over?
Then ask yourself few questions. Ask
yourself what is to be done about
The 100000 disabled fighting men?
The 100000 American boys who were
unfit for service?
The one American baby out of seven
that dies in its first year?
The 200 900 people who die annually
of tuberculosis?
The 100000 who would die in
another influenza epidemic like the
last?
The 100000 children under who die
annually of preventable disease?
The thousands of children forced out
of school by physical defects?
The accidents that kill 100000 and
disable 100000 yearly?
The one adult in seven known to
be in need Of medical attention?
The 1000 people who drown every
yea. in American waters?
These are the things that made the
Third Roll Call absolutely necessary,

Babcock came rushing down from

Estrada, just in from his submerged

the right thing was not being done.

CHAPTER XVI.



The town woke to a matter-of-fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
runaway river had passed with the
night. The word spread that the flood
waters were under control: that the
men had gone home to sleep, so the
women got breakfast as usual. and
tidied their homes. The Colorado was
always breaking out, like naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry of "The riverw fail to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit of swift
reaction.
That afternoon, Mrs. Youngberg was
to entertain at the A B G ranch the
ladies of the Improvement club. 1t
was a Standardization meeting, to
celebrate the planting of trees In the
streets of Calexico. and to plan the
campaign of their planting. Mrs.

he sent him to Fassett's with more

There, he's stopped. / wonder If he is

Obediently her friend hailed Rick

giving him mercurial feet. He loved
the modern battle. Elements to pit
ones brains against, wits against
force.
Gerty Hardin's face was flushing
and paling. "The river" she faltered
