RED CROSS AIDS
MANY SECTIONS
$4,000 American COMMUNE
ties Received Aid During
Suffering by Disease, Etc.

BY The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13:-More
than $4,000 American communities
received aid during the year ending
last June from the Red Cross in the
adoption of precautionary methods
against disease and disaster or in
mitigating suffering caused by eth
er.
The activities of the Red Cross in
this endeavor were summarized to-
day in the second of a series of
statements. issued from Red Cross
headquarters here, outlining the
contents of the forthcoming annual
report and showing another phase
of Red Cross expenditures from
funds given by its ten million adult
and fourteen million Junior men,
bers throughout the country.
During the year the Red Cross
organized its department of health
service; extended its nursing service
to meet a growing demand for pub
lie health nursing. taught its First
Aid to Injured courses to thousands;
and took the lead in the formation
of the worldwide Red Cross sooie-
ties. with headquarters in Geneva.
The department of health service.
organized and at work during the
last seven months of the year. was
operating 12S health centers at the
end of the year. From these radi-
ated many activities designed to i'm
prove the health of a community
and to prevent the spread of disease,
while 435 Red Cross chapters also
engaged actively in disease-preven-
tive work.
The health department also had
312 employees, serving at ffty-two
public health hospitals, where 30,-
422 patients received some form of
aid from the Red Cross. Fifteen
hundred new members. of whom
sos were women. were added during
the year to the ~life-saving service, a
branch of the first aid to injured
department. in which a complete
woman's corps also has been organ
lied.
For the nursing service. the year
was n of transition from military
to civil activities. During the war
10000 graduated nurses were as
signed to war service which aided
the return to civil life of several
hundred. Sick nurses were cared
for in a convalescent home, built
during the year at a cos of $4,000.
Enrolment in the nursing service
increased from 35,426 to 36,7O5 dur
ing the year, and in an effort to in
crease the number of qualified pub
lie health nurses the national Red
Cross and it's individual chapters
established approximately 600
scholarships at institutions over the
country. Glass instruction in home
hygiene and care of the sick also
increased three-fold during the year
the attendance record being placed
at 5000. Two thousand nurses,
acting as instructors. had charge of
Ills work. The total expenses OF
the nursing service were $129,965,
a reduction of $4S,371 over the
previous year.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS AIDS
IN FIGHTING DISEASE

NEW YORK, Oct. 13. - The
typhus epidemic in Poland presents
one of the most serious problems now
before the league of nations. Re-
viewing a report just received from
the secretariat of the league, n
League of Nations News Bureau says
that the league. through its typhus
commission, has asked its members
to contribute sS.00O.000 for fighting
the plague in Poland and protecting
the rest of the world from a general
spread of the infection.
Cases of typhus in Poland and
Galicia increased from 34,53S in 1916
to 231, zoe in 1919; and the estimated
number for the present calendar e
is 100000. DR.. Norman White,
typhus commissioner of the league of
nations, reports that in these
countries soap, fuel and other es-
sentials of cleanliness are unprocur-
able or extremely difficult to obtain.
Conditions are aggravated by over
crowding, due largely to the actual
destruction OF dwellings in the war.
1t is estimated that in Congress
Poland $4,000 houses have been de-
stroyed and in Galicia 43S. 900.
At the same time there is a con-
slant stream of civil and military re-
fugees crossing the Polish borders.
many of them infected with typhus
contracted In Russia.
Between November, 1918, and
January. 1920. 623. 1000 prisoners of
war of all nationalities passed west
ward over the Polish frontier and
627,0 emigrants returned to
Poland. In addition. 200.0 900 refugees
from the neighboring war zone
crossed the border. 1t is estimated
that there are still a million persons
in Russia waiting to be repatriated.
The cessation of hostilities between
Poland and Russia will not mean an
immediate amelioration of these con-
ditions. With conditions In Russia as
they are a resumption of cross
frontier traffic and trade will have its
attendant dangers to public health.
The league proposes to expend the
100000 typhus relief fund in
providing: clothing for refugees. ad-
ditional hospital equipment amount
ing to 10000 beds, certain food stuffs
for hospitals and quarantine stations,
soap, bathing plant. hair clippers
and other facilities for personal
cleanliness, desinfecting apparatus,
motor transport to increase the area
of usefulness of the hospitals, a small
amount of medical personnel to sup
plement the insufficient and over
worked Polish medical staff.
The danger which an uncontrolled
epidemic of typhus in Poland
presents to the rest of the world is
shown by the fact that in 1S4s,
100000 persons died of this disease
in Ireland.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Nov. 20.-The
homely old virtues Of thrift and self
help were voiced as the American We
hicle of attaining Industrial democracy
by Samuel o. Dunn, editor of the
Railway Age, in an address here today.
Railway employees, by the practice
of a very reasonable amount of thrift
could, in period of three to five
years become the chief owners of the
railroads." Dunn said.
'The employees of railways and 9th
er large Industrial concerns should
seek to acquire potent voice in their
management, but they should seek to
acquire it not through governmental
action or by strikes, but by becoming
part owners, or even the controlling
owners of the INDUSTRIES" Dunn saio,
claiming that the only road open In
America to industrial democracy
Dunn offered statistics indicating
employees by saving from their present
high wages could gpurchase enouh
stocks in concerns to give them man
agement or participation in affairs.
This program, Dunn said, would be
far easier and more beneficial than
