RED CROSS ALWAYS
READY In DISASTER

The Red Cross is always prepared.
When disaster hits a community this
organization can be depended upon
to follow right at its heels with help
for the stricken people.
Red Cross relief is always forth
coming-food, clothing, shelter and
funds; doctors, nurses and special
workers with long experience in
handling similar. No matter what the
disaster may be-fre, flood, earth
quake, explosion, bad wreck or torna-
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
the United States. One hundred and
fifty communities in twenty-SeVen
states suffered. The largest and most
destructive of these were the tidal
wave at Corpus Christi, Tex.,tand tor
nadoes in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala-
bama, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed., 1000 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1O0,000,000 and al
most $10O0,000 in relief funds, not
including emergency supplies, was ez-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of supplies,
40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be on hand 20
help them in every way.

their lives. 1t had furnished them
with entertainment and other enjoy
ment and aid while in camp, but the
great majority had never felt the need
of the Red Cross before entering the
service and they reasoned they would
not need it's assistance now that they
were out OF it again.
Since that time many thousands
have learned to know otherwise. The
Red Cross was their friend in the
service and they naturally turned to
it when trouble and complications be-
set them in civilian life.
Nearly Million Aided.
Through the Home Service Section
which has taken up the task of car
ing for the soldier and sailors after
they leave the service, and their fami.
lies and dependents, nearly a million
men have been given assistance OF
various kinds. This consists princi
pally of financial aid, finding jobs
obtaining back pay, allotments and
compensation.

are beginning to realize some idea
of the volume OF information work
being carried on by the Civilian Re-
lief, a part of the Home Service de-
partment. From 1900 to 1000 cases
are handled from each state almost
every month.
The Red Cross does not confine its
activities to service men only. 1t also
takes care of his family. In little

racks for discipline was granted
clemency and his term reduced. But
he had become so respondent that he
threatened to take his life.
Found Family Destitute.
The Red Cross investigated the con.
dition of his family and found they
were in destitute circumstances and
that his mother was ILL., Moreover, Ill
was found that he had been absent
without leave to go to her. Upon
presentation of the facts in the case
the sentence was committed and the
Red Cross is helping the family to get
on it's feet.
The fact that all the returned
bodies of dead soldiers are given
military funeral may be partly at
tributed TO the Civilian Relief bu
reau. While the organization does
not attend to the funeral directly, it
gives instructions through the Ameri-
o1r;o fap,ilxy icy
financially unable to take care of the
matter, the Red Cross comes to the
assistance and offers relief.
Public health hospitals are filled
with ex-soldiers whom the Civilian
Relief service is taking care of. A
large percentage of these are suf-
fering withS tuberculosis and shell
shock.
Helps Get Compensation.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and
helping them secure compensation due
from the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance.
In the federal boards various offices
in the central division, the Red Cross
worker, acting with the Home Service
section, makes necessary loans to the
men, arranges suitable living condi-
lions, helps collect evidence and sup
ply facts to the board, assists in zap
pealing cases" and settles various
personal difficulties for the men. The
workers also follow up and aid all
men who discontinue training.

PERSHING'S TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

'sIt gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for it's greatest
service comes during times of
war, and it's achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there is
and perhaps there always will
be vital need for the humani-
tartan work which it renders.
1.-THE present and former serv-
ice men can never forget the
Red Cross, not only for what it
did for them during the war,
but for what it is doing now in
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed in assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as peace
time organization can hardly be
over-estimated, and we owe it
our loyal support and active CO.
operation.

possible only after delay that will de- stroy its advantages.
 There is no danger that, in this help, the Legion will forget its Amerl- canization aspect. Many of them sac rificed much for this country and no matter how little they may have thought about it before the war. they have grown to believe in it and to know that only men loyal to it are worth bothering about. If they take hold of the foreigner he will be Americanized before they get through with him.
 Again the American Legion has demonstrated what a force it will be in America.

The Third Wise Man. of more re- ttrtng demeanor. drew from his vo- cabulary the word meaning "Inspir- ing" when he referreth to the con- ference of the Three Wise Men.
 The main subject of the meeting was a consideration of the great League of Nations. so-caIled because of it's purpose to unite in one brother hood all mankind The ideal is close to the heart of the First Wise Man, and he has writ on the parch- ment of perpetuity the laws. hrmer than those of the Medes and Per sians. by which he would have this League and this country governed.
 Until the sun rose this morning, in it's rosy tints. mankind had thought that the First Wise Man and the Sec. ond Wise Man differed as to tho characters and their meaning which should be inscribed upon the perma- nent parchment of the League.
 But no! All is accord. Whether the First Wise Man yielded to the Second Wise Man. and admitted that tho words he has inscribed may be added to and revisions made there unto. or whether the Second Wise Man was convinced that the First Wise Man was right and no words should change that the First Wise Man had proclaimeth, mankind does not know.
 The Third Wise Man composeth himself admiringly. praiseth the First Wise Man. expresseth his distress at eeasing of service under his strong hand. and aith that the blow was soothed by the knowledge that his future service woul, be to one able to bear gallantly the mantle of the First Wise Man.
 The Fourth Wise Man sitteth apart. He did not hear the words of wisdom proceeding from the Three Wise Man But when he heareth of them: when he learneth of the comments of the Three Wise Men. he issueth a chal- lenge. What" quoth he, "meaneth the Three Wise Men exactly"

LABOR MORE EFFICIENT.

Men who know men had too great confidence in the American workman, and those who work by his side in- spired by his skill, to doubt but that the period of inenciency of labor would be short.
 The American workman is too proud of his ability to produce, and has too good an opinion of such ability. to fail for very long to pro- duce all that he is capable of produc- ing.
 This confidence in the efficiency of labor has begun to be justified. Re ports received by the Industrial Bureau of the Merchants association at New York say that this efficiency is on the increase The Bureau bases it's report on data received from forty-nine manufacturers represent ing forty industries. They say that although production per man has not yet reached the normal, it has in creased perceptibly since September. 1919.
 The inefflciency of labor. over which manufacturers and the wise , public was concerned, was to he ex- pected. Certainly all worked and all were efficient while the war was in progress. Whether a man stayed in this country and worked in some war industry, or whether he went over- seas and labored in an entirely diff ferent way there. the labor was hard. the men were driven constantly; there was always a strain attached. There entered also into the situation the scarcity of labor here and the re- sultant independence after the strain of the war had ceased. Men who had worked hard felt quite as soldiers and other service men felt-that they were entitled to a rest.
 High wages. and the forbearance required of employers aided in the growing inefficiency. And then came the binding of the workingman by laws of the organizations with which they were affiliated.
 The reaction from the strikes is

immigrant. The country needs him. The more we can do for him along the line of Americanization, the bet ter for him and the better for us.
 The American Legion has recog- nized this fact It is announced that American Legion posts throughout the grants and will cooperate in Ameri- canization work.
 And it is believed that none are better qualified to aid the immigrant practically than members of the Le- zion. There are organizations to look after his morals and ethics. Even they should be systemized. But many members .f the Legion have lately been in the countries from which some of them come, or in other for eign countries. and they know the characteristics of foreigners in a most practical way.
 Soldiers on the other side met the people there in a way impossible for the student of peoples. They learned things about foreigners no reformer would ever know. And members of the Legion are practical. They have learned to scorn the impracticable; to know how much more one deed at the right moment will help than an hundred, theoretically admirable, bu

 It certainly seems q pity that the lovers of fishing have got to be de- prived of the only place within easy walking distance of the city where they can enjoy the sport because a few outsiders have come to the con- clusion, at this l.te day, that fishing from the banks of a reservoir con- taminates the water.
