AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those. citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners Of
the earth.
These people compose the 1nsular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the Is
land Of zap. which came under our
flag as a result Of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
S0,S0S paid up members.
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate In the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership 10
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston Of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters OF
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam''
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland. Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members Of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
immeasurable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors In the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief In case
Of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program OF
the American Red Cross.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than S5,OOOOOO has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people Of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions Of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of "The
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief ac-
tiyities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es'
tablishment of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief of more than
s1.OOO,OOO. Last winter one-half MIL
lion war orphans were aided material
". and since then series of large or
manages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
8cials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have perished of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.

Are You a Bore?

There are many kinds of bores-
people who talk too much and people
who will do nothing but listen; peo-
pie who won't listen to music, and
others who sing out of tune; people
who write books and talk about them,
and people who write books and won't
talk about them.

toner, one could 60 on ad infinitum

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross is carrying
on a wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment In United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies Of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each Of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare OF
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent house at all Of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
In the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men and WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross Is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place Of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned AZ
a precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such q case person trained In First
Aid is invaluable not only to the In
dIvidual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There Is perhaps no way Of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
ous disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced .farreaching and beneficial ip-
auence in the prevention Of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of q widespread knowl-
edge Of First Aid In the event OF q
great disaster, such as train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, ETC.. is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
(1) the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, Of classes for In
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2) the Introduction Of
courses Of instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do so should, in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and in
structioa classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

WED 13 TIMES SAYS MARRIAGE
 NOT \ FAILURE
Cedar Rapids Woman Sure Has Had Wide
 Variety.

Cedar Rapids Iowa, March 13- Though she has called ten men huS- band and has made thirteen trips to the marriage altar. Mrs. Alice L. Yocum is not yet convinced that marriage is a failure. according to a story she told newspaper men at Boone yesterday when her latest hus- band, John Yocum, obtained a di- vorce from her on the grounds of cruel and -inhuman treatment. He alleged that she threw bric-a -brac at him and chased him from the house at the point of revolver and threatened to kill him if he ever re- turned. He remained away.
 Mrs. Yocum's matrin onial career began at Clinton, Iowa, about eighteen years ago when she was married to Ed Curtis. a clairvoyaft and mindreader. It is not known what grounds were alleged in the first divorce. but it was obtained by the woman. Her second divorce was from Fred Kroner, a hardware nler- chant of Lacrosse, Wis, and the charge was incompatibi1ity. She is said to have obtained big alimony from Kroner.
 She married William Alpin at St. Joseph, Mo. and later was divorced from him on the grounds of cruelty so it was said here. Her next ven ture was with John O'Brien of this city, whom she abandoned after she learned that her divorce from Alpin was illegal. She returned to Alpin and after living with him few months she got a divorce from him and was married to John Hamm, laundry proprietor of Clinton. That marriage was not satisfactory and she again got divorce for incom- patibility. When she returned to Alpin again and they were remarried and a year later he obtained a di- vorce. on the grounds of cruelty. ~ J. M. Harper of Omaha was next on the list. She was divorced from him, but it is not known what grounds were alleged. At Valpar- also, Ind, the much married woman then accepted John Yocum as her mate and lived with him from Sept. 2S, 1908, until Sept. Is, 1909, when she filed suit at Iowa City. He re- sisted and got the decree. When she was divorced from Harper of Omaha she was again married to Yocum and they lived together until about two years ago, when, he all leges, she chased him from the house.
 He got the last divorce yesterday Mrs. Yocum is still young-looking and is probably not more than forty-five in years.
 All of Sher ex-husbands are living. There are no children. Mrs. Yocum still calls Cedar Rapids her home, but she has not returned to this city since her last divorce.
