RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,000,000 has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schOoled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions of men and
women in that .resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation of 1.-THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief ac-
tiyities In Poland -Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo
.,ie units are in the field. During the
asst twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
taplishment of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
$1,000 600 Last winter one-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then series Of large or
manages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, of
ficials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have persisted of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months
And the work there must be kept up

CANDIDATE COX, THE UNIDENTIFIED
BY e. S. VAN zlLE

an aspirant for the Presidency, for the
great physical and mental strain that
he is undergoing. But there is limit
beyond which its patience and sym
pathy may safely be tried, and Gov
ernor Cox has repeatedly passed that
limit.
OF course, 1t may be too much to ex-
pect that a candidate who owes his
nomination to the fact that he was the
only one of many aspirants who was
thoroughly persona grata to men like
Murphy, Nugent, Taggart and Bren-
nan should possess that sensitiveness
to the prophecies that has safeguard
ed the dignity Of our Presidents as
class But even after making due al
lowance for the fact that mans man.
ners are Influenced by the company he
keeps, It Is not too much to say that
Governor Cox, In his recent public ut
terances and in certain cheap appeals
he has made to people lacking in good
taste, has placed himself outside the
pale from which alone an occupant OF
the White House should be chosen.
As President there is every reason
to believe that the undigniffed Cox
would offend against precious ira
dition thaksis, as 1t should be. dear to
the hearts Of the American people.

From the time of George Washing
ton to the present moment it has been
characteristic of the American people
to demand dignity as an absolutely
essential quality In the makeup Of

White House has forgotten the ebliga

tsxation to come upon them. Our
Presidents have been, no matter what
may have been their shortcomings as
executives, ~erthy in their outward
bearing of the emindAlce to which they
had attained.
1t is a serious handicap to James M
Cox that he has displayed, in his
Presidential campaign, a lack OF dig
nifty that has been, in some OF its
manifestations, actually shocking. 1t

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
i. !: !. AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Win Nave
Health centers In All Parts 7
o, United States. as

The American Red Gross has launch
I'd upon q nation wide campaign OF
nghtine disease and physical defect
among the American people. new
and UNIQUE health institution has come
into being as the result of several
months study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head
quarters
Oficals In charge Of the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will be in actual operation al
over the country, and that the sign
american Red Cross Health Center"
will become as familiar to the peo-
pie everywhere as are now the signs OF
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War;
The interest of the American Red
Cross n the fight against disease ~
not, however, of recent origin Long
before the war the organization began
this health service through Its medical
units in disaster relief work and its
department of Town and County Nurs'
ing. During the war and following
the armistice thousands Of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease In the war-stricken1 countries.
At the same time tens Of thousands OF
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gagged ct home fighting. disease, nota-
bly, during the influenza epidemics.
The American Ped Cross has de-
termined that all this valuable expert
ence In health service abroad and al
home shall not 60 to waste. so long
as there are a half million people
dying yearly in this country from pre-
ventable causes, and so long as more
than one-third of the American chill
dren and young people are victims OF
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
nizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center y
governed by business principles, ap-
plies business methods, and, in Its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted by lay people.
II proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a commodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, it establishes It
self in a storeroom In the principal
business section OF the community. II
displays it's goods in the form OF at
tractive health exhibits in Its show
windows. 1t advertises constantly and
extensively. And 1t uses every bust
ness and social device to attract Gus
toners.
The Red Cross Health Center Is Of
service to the sick in that it gives out
reliable and complete information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana-
toria and other institutions for the sick
and the defective; about available
nurses, both trained and practical !;
about when to consult physician and
why to shun the quack and his nos
