RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits q community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or t~ornadO-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-foOd,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80,
there was an average OF four disasters
a month IL the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities In
twenty-seyen states suffered. The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per
Sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $10O,0OO,OOO and al
most 5 100000 in relief funds, not in.
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross cent $1,000 900 worth of sup
plies, 40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
sot mn ton relief stations oparatad
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right ON
hand to help them In every way.

Hawaii Claims Wettest Spot.

Hawaii now claims the wetteSt spots
on earth. From records covering a
long period, Cherrapunji, a village at
an elevation of about $500 feet In the
Khasi hills in India, has established
a rainfall average Of 426 inches a year,
with n maximum Of 900 inches In the
questionable record for 1861. Short
period observations show that Mount
Waialeale, the central peak Of the
island Of Kauai, with a height Of $3.50
feet, has a yearly average Of 476
inches: while estimates for nearby To-
calities for the wet years Of 1914 and
1919, when no records were kept. make
It appear that the rainfall then must
have exceeded 600 inches. Other parts
OF Hawaii are scarcely less damp. Pun
Kukui, 5000 feet high. on the island Of
Maui, has had a ~seven-year average Of
1863 inches, with a maximum Of 562
inches in 1914. At least q dozen other
spots, above 1000 feet of elevation, are
reported to have exceeded $50 inches
In each of the years 1914 and 1913.

WOULD MAKE EASIER READING
Boston Man Has Idea for Printing
Books That Is interesting but
Revolutionary.

Why not print all books in such q
way that every page IS q right-hand
page? asks II. !. Winslow of Boston,
who claims a patent for his conception
of how to do it. He holds that If n
has to read pages on one side Of a book
only, this will be held more easily, the
eyes will not wander, there Will be no
necessity for changing the position OF
head and neck when passing from one
page to another. Thus reading, espe-
cially Of big, heavy volumes, will be
less f~atiguing not only to he eyes,
head and neck, but also to the arms
and hands.
Mr.. Winslow's Idea Is to print a book
so that YOU read straight ahead from
right-haud page to right-hand page,
these being numbered cOnsecutively;
then, when you have read through to
the last right-hand page, you turn the
book upside down and continue reading
as before, what in ordinary books are
left-hand pages now being right-hand
pages. This, OF course, involves pint
ing all left-hand pages upside down
and numbering them cOnsecutively
from the back Of the book. This would
easily he arranged by the printer in
laying out the forms, though to get the
p~aginatiOn Of a large book correct
would require some nice calculation on
the printers part.

Queen Pleasures Carnival.

All the Protestant churches acknowl-
edge the continual diminution Of their
congregations and are earnestly en-
deavoring to discover why the great
majority abstain from public worship,
says a Sydney, N. s. w, dispatch to
the London Times. Several novel
schemes have been propOunded to
make services more attractive, but the
clergy finch from any startling inno-
vatiOns. Recently Rev. c. Black at a
meeting of the Baptist union declared
that Queen Pleasure holds high carni-
VAL" and continued: 1.-THE churches are
unheeded by the mass Of pleasure
trippers, who patter by with feet
tingling with the torch Of the tango,
ears atingle with the jingle Of the jazz,
and hearts aflame with riotous pas
sion."

Nothing Green in Death Valley.

The natural vegetation of Death val
ley IS scant and stunted. There Is not
n green thing that grows there natural
ly. The thOrny meSQuit trees are OF a
acknowledgement tinge; SO, too, are the
grease bushes, while 'he sagebrush Is
either n yellowlGn gray or . color of
ashes. \ little round gmlrd can the
desert apple grows In some Of the can
yOns. 1t turns yellow when ripe and
has a thin meat within that is exceed
ingly bitter. The cactus that grows
beyond the valley In abundance is
rare here. In short, the vegetation Of
Death valley Is terribly scant, even in
comparison with the Mojave desert.

RUSSIAN HERO IN PAJAMAS
Soldier Of Denikin's Army, Decorated
for Bravery, ALFRED in Altogether
Unconventional Uniform.

The highest decoration for valor
that could be given a soldier In Deni-
kin's army was pinned to the breast
Of a soldier whose uniform ran a close
second to that Of Kipling's hero, Gun
ga Din, says a communication from
Ekaterinodar, South Russia. to the
Stars and Stripes.
The medal was pinned to the SOL
dier's Jacket. which was the upper part
of a pair of pajamas, and the rest Of
his outfit was only q pair Of British
military trousers. He was barefooted
and hatleSs.
The clothing worn by this man typi-
fes the conditions that exist in the
army fighting the %bolsheviki In that
country. They do not have a service
Of supply and they do not have q reg
ulation uniform.
General Bradoff, who decorated the
pajama-jacketed hero. wore the
tunic of Il British Tommie, and the
guard of troops who furnished the
background for the decoration cere-
monies, wore parts of uniforms from
a dozen different armies. With the
exception of n group of Cossack cav
airy, the decorated soldier was the
neatest-dressed man Of the lot.
The hero, on his own initiative, led
a detachment of scouts In capturing a
town from the holSheviki. He was
wounded in carrying out this exploit.
taken to a hospital and given n suit
of paiamaS. When he left he took the
pajama Jacket to replace his wornout
Russian tunic, and he had not been
able to replace it.

STONES KEEP THEIR SECRET
Restoration Of stonehenge Has Re-
veaIed Nothing New Of Interest
to the Antiquarian.

The restoration Of Stonehcnge has
revealed fresh evidence as to the orig
inal building of the famous circle.
There are indications that the entire
monument was surrounded by a cir
Gle Of at least 40 stones, not one OF
which remains today.
The office Of works, In conjunction
with the society Of antiQuaries, is
overhauling the monument, replacing
the fallen stones and exploring the
site. Excavations have revealed SOCK
cts for a number OF stones that are
no longer In existence, but history
cannot account for their absence.
During the excavations a number
Of hammer stones, chisels and burnt
bones were found, also many articles
Of more modern origin, scraps Of Ro-
man remains, pennies and farthlngs Of
varying date even up to the present
time. The places where these coins
were scand are a problem In them
selves. Why, for example, should a
half-penny Of George III be found
deeper In the earth than a farthlng
Of James II
A new map Of the monument Is to
be drawn and preserved In the Anti
Quaries museum, but the object OF the
excavations, the discovery OF the ori-
gin and purpose of the famous monu-
ment, is still unsolved by the recent
wOrk.-London Times.

the pavements clean" said Mr.. Hol-
land, "the best we can do, and when
folks turn loose a lot of paper and
other trash to be blown around it
would break the city up to keep the
streets looking decent"
According to Mr.. Holland most
folks are observing the ordinance.

it to make their effort seem worth
less.
He says there will be a number of
arrests made if the practice is not
stopped, as the city authorities have
given the order to keep the streets
clean.
