1t was only the Islander good
defense that saved them in the 1rst
part Of the contest. Several times
the Monmouth boys came into q
position where they might have
scored, but the Islander line held
the ball for downs every time. The

to carry the ball over, although
several times the locals pushed

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion OF the 10000
900 population Of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-RoumanIa. Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy In
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help In the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming imple-
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- IN blowing the land.
BY the last Of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad-
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. By that time, II
is believed. the people will have ap-
preached a normal state Of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
To GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS q result Of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating Libraries, Red Cross schools OF
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service Is 10 lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

nearly 100000 francs. and In 1919

gifts that young Americans are send

Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving fresh start In life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes In
France, school colonies In Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in Al

They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges In Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or.

Simple TELEPHONY.

An interesting development in tele-
phony is q new three-wire wall net
which operates on two ordinary dry
cells, says the Scientific American. The
telephone itself is built for the use
and pleasure Of youngsters. The in
stallation is very simple, as the tele-
phones fasten to the walls with two
screws and there is nothing more tech
meal for the boy to do than to follow
simple instructions IN connecting the
wire with the posts on each telephone
box. The set will operate up to 1000
feet, instead of the usual 100 or 200
feet, If two additional dry cells are
employed.

swim in ten minutes, 1t is claimed, II
he wears about his neck the new
swimming collar"
This collar. as described In Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine, consists Of a
cylinder Of transparent celluloid,
about eight inches high. Across the
bottom is cemented a rubber sheet
with central aperture. The edges
Of the aperture fit snugly about the
neck. Thus the new swimming aid
holds the head above the water, and
recommends itself to fair swimmer
because 1t keeps the hair dry.
