WORKER FOR RED
CROSS IS. IN CITY

Mabel r. Haines, social service work
er of the American Red Cross, has
come to FL Centro at the request of
the county chapter to open an office in
this city.
According to Miss Haines, the general
reader has the wrong conception of the
work that the American Red Cross is
doing and has been doing for some time
She said. During the war it is true that
the majority of the work of the Red
Cross was confined to the relief of the
soldiers and sailors and their families,
but with the coming of peace we return
TO our peacetime occupations. There is
not the need in that line alone The
Red Cross has realized this and formed
. a peace program to be carried out in the
future. This is so farreaching and
sweeping that it will reach every family
in the nation where poverty is in evi-
dence. 1t does not matter whether a
member of the family served during the
war or not"
Miss Haines has been in the Valley
but few days, arriving here Monday
from San Francisco. She is an expe-
rienced social service worker, having
spent number of years working in the
tenement districts of New York and
other places.
Already a great many cases have
come to her attention and temporary
relief has been given. 1t is not her OBJ
ject itst to give financial aid, but to
teach and instruct along the lines of So

Gold Industry Menaced,

Economic Pressure Means Ex-

Continued economic pressure is fore

according to George H. Bailey, counsel
Of the American Mining Congress,
speaking on "The Gold Situation" be-
fore the New York State Bankers
Association at Asbury Park, n. j..
yesterday. This was the second day
of the twenty-seventh annual conven-
ton Of the association.
Gold production has declined since
1915" he said, "and the loss in the
production of new gold to the reserve,
added to that withdrawn for the use
Of the arts and trades. will still fur
ther accentuate the volume of neces-
sary currency defation
"The attendant ills Of a too rapid
defation cannot too strongly be en-
phasized. Some constructive remedY
is necessary. A healthy gold mining
industry should be Established,
which is only possible by freeing the
gold products from the economic stress
now pressing on that"industry. It is
imperative that the gold mining be kept
alive for fear that, with the greatly
reduced production, there VII be
difficulty In retaining the gold stand
ard during the coming campaign Of
credit restriction"

Florida-New Mexico Motorists Pass
 Thru Pine Bluff

Motoring from Panama City ,on the west coast of Folorida, to New MeXico,s party of five passed thru Pine Bluff yesterday, travelling in an Oldsmobile runabout and an Es- sex touring car. In the party were w. J. Lee, w. E. Lee, D. D. Miller, Earl Miller and K. L. Merrill. They had been travelling two weeks yes terday, and in that time had cover ed 8S5 miles.
 "We have come thrue some of the worst roads we have ever seen," said a member of the party. "At some points they were not roads at all- more like streams of soft, sticky mud. We've had to dig out several times, but the cars have perform cd admirably. We haven't had a break, or an accident of any kind, and the engines have stopped only when we shut off the juice" tho sometimes we've pulled for half an hour trying to get out of a mud hole. We always got out under our own power, tho, which demonstrates what these engines will do."
 After comforting here with Ziba Bennitt concerning the best route to follow from Pine Bluff, the tourists left for Little Rock, whence they will resume their journey today.
