do-the Red Cross is always able to
cope with the situation.
During the last year there was an
average of four disasters a month in

destructive Of these were the tidal
wave at Corpus Christi, Tex, and tor

HEALTH DRIVES
PROVE SUCCESS
Red Cross Centers Are Teaching
Public How to Keep in
Condition.

Realizing the Importance of com.
batting and preventing diseases this
winter, the American Red Cross
Health centers are centering their eff
forts on health campaigns in the vari-
GUS states of the central division.
The health center Is Of even great
er service to the well than the sick,
for by means of health education 1t
prevents diseases and conducts it's
health campaigns to meet local needs.
A Red Cross health center may be
only room with a volunteer or paid
lay worker In charge, yet 1t can be q
most important factor in the preven-
tion Of diseases and the promotion of
health In the community. The health
center work has advanced SO rapidly
during the last year it now is a part
Of the civic welfare organization in
the majority Of towns.
For the coming health campaigns In
the states, particular attention is be-
ing paid to the small community and
to the outlying districts. The influ-
ence Of the chapters headquarters is
being considerably increased or ex-
tended throughout the county by the
establishment of small branch health
centers in the more remote sections.
Volunteers Aid Work.
In most cases these branch centerS
are being placed entirely under vol
unteer management and the exhibits,
~
Of the main health service are being
repeated at each of the branches.
In reports from many chapters 1t is
found that the health center director
is resourceful to the extent that she
does not wait until people call indi-
yidually at the health center for in.
formation. She will stimulate con-
slant demand for health information
and provoke inquiry. In this way she
reaches many who otherwise would
be neglected. In still other counties
where trained workers are not avail
able at this time. some women have
stepped in and organized the work and
carried IT on until they have received
assistance.
The Red Cross health center is gov.
erned by business principles, applies
business methods, and, In Its more
simple form. can be established and
conducted by lay people. ~ "
Uses Business Methods.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a commodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, it establishes
itself In storeroom In the principal

'The relief is rapidly expanding and

According to Mr.. HemphIll, the need
for American help to see the destitute

ANTI-SUFFRAGE
VICTORY IN JAPAN
Recent Election Gave Party Opposing
Suffrage Complete Control of
Legislative Bodies.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE consul
general Of Japan, Mr. Kumasaki, has re-
ceived official information that the gen
eral elections in Japan, held last Monday,
resulted in an overwhelming victory for
Premier Hara and the Seyukai party, the
majority party, in the house of represen-
tatives Of the imperial diet. The Sey-
ukai party win have clear, large majority
over any combined opposition in the next
house.
The issue fought out at the polls was
whether or not universal suffrage, which
would include woman suffrage, should be
granted the japanese people. There was
very pretty fight over this question il
the imperial diet last March and Pre-
mer Hara dissolved the diet and went
to the people.
japanese here, in touch with Their coun

cisive result Of the elections win put nm

the question will be put mp to the voters.
The old bridge cost the two towns

the rebuilding Of both abutmerits. An
other one like it would cost about $4,000
more at the present time in addition to
What may be necessary if the abutments

ion Of the height of the abutments. how
ever. has not been determined definitely.
Mr. Storrs plans to have Il diver here
next Friday to examine the old bridge,
a small part of which is visible in low
water about 300 feet south of its old
site. in midstrpam. 1t is believed the
old bridge is badly twisted, and this is
one of the things the diver will take
note of.
The bridge men have doubts about the
possibility of taking the old bridge out
of water without prohibitive expense. 1t
could not be lifted entire, which means
that it would have to be taken apart
under water, and after it was taken out
and laid alongside the railroad ready for
shipment it would be worth but a few
thousand dollars Whether it would be
a menace to the safety of the new bridge
in case of water and ice conditions like
those of March % is a question to be
considered
