$S5, 100000 destroyed.
One hundred and forty chapters Of
the Red Cross were called upon to as
sist the national organization in ac-
complishing the relief work, in which
thirty temporary hospitals were set up.
A new activity undertaken during
the year by the Red Cross was the
organization of its foreign language
information service, work that was
started by the government during the
war. The purpose of this section is
two-fold, being to inform the 17,0O0,-
900 n-English-speaking residents of
this country concerning the laws of
the United States, the obligations they
are under as residents, the privileges
given them, and to help them to OBJ
tain just treatment when they are ig-

The statement also showed that
more than 100000 school children,
who are enrolled in the Junior Red

RADIUM'S USE IN SURGERY
Its Rays So Powerful That They Can
Destroy the Useless or Dis
eased Tissue.

The use of radium in hospitals Is
becoming more and more demanded
by the medical profession. The Sci
entific American, in telling of it's med
ical and surgical uses, explains that
it is tool and not a medicine. The
radium gives off three rays, known as
the alpha, beta and gamma rays. The
first, about IS per cent OF the total ray
force, can be stopped by tissue paper;
the second will penetrate 80 milf
meters of lead, while the third has
vibration similar to the X-ray. This
ray is the one used in surgery.
The rays are sent into the body,
and so powerful are they that they
can penetrate to O. great depth. and
there destroy the useless or diseased
tissue. AS the good tissue has
greater resistance than the bad, the
highly skilled operative can bear the
gamma rays on the afflicted part until
they begin to destroy the good It's
sue, when the treatment must stop.

Fix Strength of National Guard Units

Two decisions of Importance to Ma
tional Guard organizations through
cut the United States are an
nounced by the War department.
The first prescribes 60 active en-
listed men as the minimum strength
at which National Guard infantry COM
panies may be maintained, while the
second permits the enlistment OF re-
cruits up to the day upon which or
CARNATIONS leave home stations for an
nual field training.
The announcement states that after
July 1, 1921, the minimum peace
strength of National Guard units shall
be the same as those prescribed for
the regular army. When the peace
strength is greater than 60, National
Guard organizations may be main

received here from numerous sources
in Mexico.
There was demonstration a few
weeks ago in front of the national
palace in Mexico City, and only few
days ago a similar demonstration was
seld in the state of Nyarit, for
Inerly known as the state of Topic.
Additional evidence that very little
is being done to check the spread OF
Bolshevist doctrines south of the Rio
Grande is the fact that the present
Mexican government has failed to
keep it's word, given few weeks ago,
to deport from the country the vari-
Gus alien agitators, who, it is admit
ted, are the leaders and the brains O.
the Mexican radical movement.
In announcing that the Fourth in
ternaticnale will be held in Mexico
City, Ell Universal says in part:
I'm workingmen's centers a great
animation is noted because by resolu-
ton taken in the Third information
ale, held in Moscow last June, the
Fourth internationale will be held in
Mexico City next January.
I'm the Third internationale, as We
were told by various leaders of the
workingmen, it was agreed that as
the first three internaticnaies had been
held in Europe, it was proper to hold
the fourth on the American continent"

Country Runs Up Big Bill for Luxuries

TT COST the women IN the United
States approximately $750,00O,0OO
last year to rouge their cheeks, dab
their noses with powder and make
themselves fragrant with perfume, ac-
cording to a. compilation of the lux
ury tax returns which have been made
by Uncle Sam.
The cost of cosmetics and perfume
was more than twice that of women's
furs-in year when the fur prices
were the highest in history. The
amount spent on furs was approx
mately $300,0O0,000.
The year 1919 was luxuriots, ac-
ccrding to the tax figures, which show
that the amount spent on luxuries was
500. 700,000,0OO. The ladies did their
part in spending money on luxuries,
but the expenditures were not confined
to them. Eight hundred million dol
lars went up in smoke-cigarette
smoke, while S510,000,000 were burned
up in the form of cigars.
Jewelry cost $500,000,0 00-an i'm

an address before a general meeting

The anti-Japanese movement in the

both countries are careful not to let

Judgment eventually will prevail and
the matter will be satisfactorily adj
