SCFuctlON.
The bureau of dietetics, through
which classes are organized to teach
women and girls the right sort OF food
to cook and serve to make good
health, carried on instruction work.
during the month at such places
as Converse College at Spar
tanburg, S. c., the west Tennessee

reau reported the appointment OF a
city detitian at Nashville. Tenn,
where tie Red Cross Chapter set
aside $4,000 for her salary and $500
for incio 'ntal expenses in connection
with nu,. ltion work. The bureau, in
cooperation with other divisions. put
on an exhibit in health at the Tri-
State fair at Memphis, Tenn.
While such work as this was being
done in the field of health by the Red
Cross, it was equally active in its work
for returned soldiers and their families
and similar work for civilian families
in like need of help. The Red Cross
had 2,0S1 new cases of this sort dur
ing the month, and reopened 1880 old
cas- IS, a total of 1851 cases. An i'd ga
of the number of soldiers and civilians
helped in the different states may be
gained from the following report for
the month:
Georgia. 1.O06 soldiers families aid
ed, 65 civilian families aided; Florida,
1,941 soldiers families aided and $40

Atlanta, Ca, Oct.-The man or
woman who gives dollar for mem
bership in the American Red Cross
when the Fourth Roll Call is held
{. ora November II to November 25,
will want to know, among other things,
what that dollar will hip to do in
the southern division, of which his
chapter is a part.
Fifty cents of the dollar is retained
by the chapter, for chapter work. The
O,her fifty cents goes to the national
headquarters in Washington, to keep
tip the national work Of the Red Cross.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that the Red Cross last year, spent
more in the south than it received
from the south in money for memb err
ships. The budget for next year con-
templates similar program in the
south.
The southern division of the Red
Cross consists of the states Of North
and South Carolina. Tennessee. G5or-
Gla and FLORIDA. Headquarters of the
division at Atlanta, in order to show
just how the money given the Red
Cross is spent in the south, has pre-
pared detailed statement, showing
one months activities in the division.
This month is typical of Red Cross
wo:k in the southern division. From
the summary cf> it's activities, Red
Cross members may gain a concrete
illustration of the work their member
ship fees Will help to keep going
through the coming year,
During this month the Red Cross
had sixty-one nursing services oparat-
ing in various parts of the division,
employing a total of seventy four
nurses. -Four new services were es-
tablished by chapters during TIE
month"; one service was reopened, five

icy of the Red Cross-.to do health
work where it is most needed, and,
where others are doing the same work,
not to compete with them, but to help
them as far as possible.
The nursing department of the Red
Cross has a bureau called the bureau
Of instruction, engaged in promoting
health work. This bureau organized
fourteen classes in Home Hygiene and
Care of the Sick during the month.
Altogether, thirty.five classes in this
subject were in operation in the di-
vision during the month; two hundred
and fifty-two new students were en-
rolled and one hundred and seventy

HERE ARE FACTS TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY

And Other Activities Illustrated by One
Typical Month.

,rescues by members of the corps were
reported. while others assisted in res
cues.
The Red Cross did no disaster re
lief work during the month in ques
ton, as no disasters occurred. but. al
any time the Red Cross is ready to
respond to cities stricken by fire, flood
tornado or pestilence. Because the
schools were closed during this month
there were no activities of the Junior
Red Cross to report. but with tine
opening of the schools in September
thousands of children throughout the
southeast joined in various helpful
plans of the Junior Red Cross.
With all of this work. the Red Cross
continued to carry on its first duty
and it's responsibility to the man II
uniform.
During the month the Red Cross
maintained adequate forces OF work
ers at twelve different army posts
camps and hospitals in the division
serving total of 1882 men, OF whom
700 or more were patients in two
general army hospitals. In addition
Home Service, as it is called, was
given to LAS new cases, 642 closed
cases and 4,071 other cases where IN
formation of all sorts in regard to pay
Liberty bonds, insurance and the like
was furnished.
One of the most potent influences al
these posts was the home influence
of the Red Cross. The men were en-
couraged to write letters home, station
cry was provided, and, where mar
was illiterate, the Red Cross wrote
his letters for him. The boys were
made to feel that the Red Cross work
ers were their friends, that they hac
some one to go to, some one who felt
a sympathetic interest in their wei
fare.
The Red Cross also did work a
six United States public health hos
pitfalls in the southern division, and
served United States public health ser
vice patients at eight other hospitals
of which they were inmates. Besides
home service" the Red Cross gave
them recreation, distributed necessary
supplies and developed the local in
terest of the respective communities
in the patients and the hospitals.
This is the sort of work-ln health
social service, among the posts and
camps, for disaster relief, first aic
home dietetics, home hygiene and care
of the sick, and the Junior Red Cross
that will be carried on during the
coming year through the dollars OF
these who join the Red Cross IN the

FRENCH COURTS TRYING
TO UNITE U. S. TANGLE
War Stocks Oversold, Taken Back,
Now No One Knows Who's
Owner.

PARIS, July ga job lot of Ameri-
can war stocks, sold to a Ukrainian
cooperative society last spring for
ST, 900, 900, and later taken back by
the American authorities. has caused
the French war department almost as
much trouble as the LIQUIDATION of
the remainder, which sold for $780,
100000.
One part of the stocks is TODAY
warehoused at Langres. France. where
the French courts have undertaken to
determine their actual ownership.
Another part is warehoused at Mar
seille in the name of the Ukrainian
society and cannot be touched by the
American authorities, although up to
this time any disposal or departure
of the stocks has been prevented.
The larger part of the stocks, ware
housed at Bordeaux, was ransacked
by the Ukrainians for choice bits and
later by thieves, but the remainder
has just been recovered by the Ameri-
can authorities and sold to the Jugo-
slav and Czechoslovakian govern
ments.
The only boat that managed to sail
with a cargo of the stocks was turn
ed back in May by an American de-
stroyer, after it had left CONSTANT
nople, and the cargo was later dis
posed of there, little money remain
ing after the freight charges had been
repaid to the Ukrainians.
The stocks, consisting largely of
clothing and medicines, were sold on
the understanding that they would be
used, and the commission, which was
then in France, accepted in payment
notes guaranteed by the Ukrainian
government of that period. Some
months afterWard it was discovered
that the agents of the cooperative
society were peddling the stocks
about France and the commission de-
cided to take them over.
