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

Among the most enthusiastic 9nt
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens of The
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
-soas and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners oil
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
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
30,S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division Is
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
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 In
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
Unreasonable 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.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program of
the American Red Cross.

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 we'll enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
in the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cence comes.
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 help
Ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War Fisk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis.
trict offices the Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men "lost"
to the Board, help, clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some in
stances living clubs, so these victims
of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must go with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Nd,
more than half Of all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive Industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. AS a result 1t is
putting forth well trained men equip
ned to. meet the social, civic and eco
nomic requirements Of their respective
communities.

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and control of the telephone properties Of
this country. Hf
The greater part Of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none of which was ever returned. 4
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great that all
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could, not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the ia
cilities to the pre-war status. u 4
The equipment and material required by
this Company. to complete its 1920 COM
structioH program, will equal 1,400 car
loads of freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts Of
this country and delivered at hundreds Of
places in the five states in which the COM
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-five
trains of an average of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers Of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks
now a much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufactures of telephone equip
ment and materials in the world. It has
representatives in all the markets Of the
world It buys its raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk Of it's equip
nient and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
It did not accept. any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance Of the United States
Government. 1t thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs Of the telephone industry in this
country
1t has capacity for a much larger OUT
put, but strikes, shortage of productive la
Dor; lack Of fuel and shortage Of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing OF
adequate raw materials-has curtailed It's
output. Nss
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries Each manufac-
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply Of raw materials.
In the face Of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output.

Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce
By ]. EPPs Brown, President,

The telephone material supply situation
is always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply of raw
materials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. AS a
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June, 1916, to April, 1917, (when
this country ertered the war; prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts of the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires in cables, comes from
the wharves of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use in switchboards, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given
These foreign sources of raw materials
supply were eliminated during, the period
of the European war and are now far be-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
lot Cn0 making OF nuHlClOnS. Inc war
greatly reduced the available amount of
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which fur
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans,
portation of both raw materials and the fin
ished products, are prime factors in the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories Of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage of productive labor, lack of fuel,
shortage of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources of raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and con-
tinues to increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
~ but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
ir 1917, the Government needs were, Of
course, given precedence and only a small
part Of the available raw materials manu-
featured from that date until the signing
Of the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.

The Capital VIII Like Zoning System

Washington has u wonderful oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the plan. The capital has very few
manufacturing plants to start with
and is so arranged as to present fewer
obstacles TO q complete coming system
than any other city in the country, if
not in the world And YOU will find
when the plan ia in full effect, that
the entire citizenship Will agree that
il is one of the best things that ever
happened for the city.
"The zoning system bars manufac-
turing plants from invading residential
sections. and thereby insures the man
who buys a home against having a
boiler factory az some other similar
plant established next door, or even
in the same neighborhood. On the
other hand, it secures to the manu-
featuring element absolute domain
over certain sections, and leaves out
let for growth and development such
as any going concern is bound to
need.
with Washington fairly under the
coming system, | predict that it will
become a model city TO which eX-
perts from all parts of the country
will be sent TO obtain ideas for coming
other cities.

COOL FOOD WITHOUT
ICE NOT DIFFICULT
Window Box Is Especially Useful
in Winter Months.
Cellar Is Utilized by Many People as
Air There Is of About Proper Tenn
Observation-Disclosures Shelves
Are Handy.

In ice chests food is chilled by arti-
fically cold air; naturally cold air can
also be used in many ways for the
preservation of food. A simple way of
keeping food cold, especially in winter,
is by means of a window box. The
most convenient kind fits on the win
dow ledge close up to the window,
preferably on the north side of the
house. 1t should be dust and fly proof
ant, some arrangement for ventilation
should be made.
The air in the cellar is cool and is
utilized by many people for cooling
food. A shaft made of wood or wood
and plaster and extending from the
cellar through the roof is a device for
utilizing the cool air Of the cellar,
which is particularly adapted to q
cool. dry climate Wire or perforat-
ed shelves are fitted into the shaft
at convenient heights where it passes
through the kitchen or pantry. In
front of the shelves should be placed
door opening from the shaft. As the
air in the upper part of the shaft
grows warmer, the cool air from the
cellar is drawn up, this constant up
ward movement of cool air cooling the
food on the shelves. Where there is
no suitable cellar the shaft may open
through the wall of the house just
above the ground Both ends OF the
shaft should be screened.-United

BECOME A FRESH-AIR CRANK
When Your Rooms Get stale, Stufty

Doors and Windows.

When you come in from outdoors
and find the air in your rooms stale
and stuffy and foul smelling, open tha
windows wide and let in plenty OF
fresh air from outside. Open the
door, roo. so that the fresh air can
freely enter.
Become fresh-air crank--even al
the risk of being disliked. Better ~

Do all you can to avoid crowds inI

only does the bad air lower your REL
sistance, but you are in danger OIL
catching disease from others.
Don't ride in a crowded street ear
when you are going only a short dis

Walk a mile In the open air twice al
day. 1t will add ten years to your

Before country housewives learned
how 10 can meat, their families ate
fresh" AT butchering time until they
were surfeited The rest was then
sailed, cured. on smoked, and except
few chickens and q little fresh meat
bought in the summer it was what the
family ate until the next butchering
season. Home meat canning, as advo-
Gated by the United States department
OF agriculture, has changed this condi-
ton. Those h0uSekeepers who put in
to cans the surplus fresh meat at
butchering time are enabled to diStrib-
ute it over y months. Canning is
equally valuable for use with surplus
chickens 1t is better economy 10 can
the cOckerels and surplus pullets when
they reach muturity than it is TO feed
them all winter.
Meat Canning Popular.
Canning meat in some sections of the
country has become almost as common
practice as canning fruits and vege-
tables. The housewife finds that
can of meat, which requires only re-
heating to be ready TO serve. is q great
convenience when company arrives I'M
expectedly or on hot summer days
when the heat of the stove for long
period becomes almost intOlerable.
Canned meat also makes possible
more varied diet and lessons the cOun-
try family's dependence upon cured,
sailed and smoked meat, the constant
and exclusive use of which means
mOnotony and less whOlesOmeness.
Sound Meat and Cleanliness.
The essential thing IN meat canning
is care-care that the meat is untaint-
Ell, care in ScrupulOus cleanliness. and
utmost care in following directions.
For canning Of meats a steam-preS-
sure Gamer is recommended. 1t should
he able to develop at least $50 degrees
Of heat, or Is pounds of steam pres
sure If tin cans are used they should
be packed to within One-half inch from
the top, be properly exhausted and
sealed. Glass jars may be filled to
within offe-half inch, the edge wiped
clean, rubber ring placed in position,
Top put on and springs adjusted but
not frightened; screw tops turned only
Il little more than halfway alright.
Put the jars on the rack above water
in the bottom of the Gamer. Leave
the pet cock open until live steam is
escaping. then close it and count time
from the moment the required pres
sure is reached, which, for meats
should be Is pounds, corresponding to
$50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meats are ready for preparation for

has disappeared. For home canning
the meats should be cooked first

THAT one of the best moves ever
L made for Washington was the in
stellation of the coming system of city
planning is the opinion of Ebert j.
Frederick of st. Louis, visitor. He
says the move has attracted the atten-
ton of dozens of large cities. which
are watching with eager interest the
effect of the zoning system at the ma
tiOnal capital.
1.-The system, although practically
new in st. Louis, has done wonders
for that city" Mr.. Frederick continued.
Property values have risen and have
become stabilized by reason of the in
stallation of coming, and men who were
bitterly opposed TO the move at first
now give it their most hearty com
mendation.
