 "Slosss dividend policy is conserv- ative one Although the large earn ings would appear to justify the dis bursement of an extra dividend such action is exceedingly unlikely. The management feels that cash should be conserved to fortify the company against a possible depression in the future. If Sloss fulfills it's present promise, the dividend rate may be in- creased later, but there is no}thought of any change in the near future.

Cwashington Herald-Public Ledger
Service, Special Cable Dispatch)


Paris. July 1.-THE crisis in the
French Presidency has opened. A-
ready the newspapers are discussing
who will be the probable successor
to President Dsschanel
Many pleas were heard for
special session OF the French cham
Der at the end of July TO settle the
matter of the next President or Vice
President. as little confidence is felt
that NJ. Deschanel will regain his
health sufficiently 10 remain at the
head OF the Republic. The fact that
he will not assist at the national
fete in the review of the troops at
Vincennes tomorrow is convincing
proof, various statesmen declare.
1t is said in the corridors OF the
chamber that the various forces long
go lined up candidates for the high
Office and certain officials are of the
opinion that it undoubtedly will be
a sehator-one with a sane Repub-
lican record. Others say that Mil
lerand should be the one to accept,
but he then will be forced to give
up his active role in the government
at a most important time when poll
cies require continued attention
from him in the role of premier.

reaching in the history Of this organiza-

2. Brewster, of Lake division headquar-
ters, CLEVELAND
Speaking on ''The Relation Of the
Fourth Roll Call to the Peace Time Pro-

sketched the stupendous task faced by
the Red Cross, both abroad and in the
United States.
Telling of the work of the Home Service
Section In handling, the eases Of TS1, ,2S2
ex- service men. he emphasized the vast
ness Of this task by declaring that to
have shaken the hand of each man as
he passed by would have taken 13,021
hours. or three years Of 24o working days
a year.
last year we spent STAT per capita
to protect hogs from having hog cholera
and the enormous sum Of % cents per
capita for public health" was one Of
DR.. Brewster's graphic comparisons. He
then added: But the great American
Red Cross is going to help change that
disgraceful recordl'

of the part the Junior Red Cross is per-
forming in cooperating with the United
