AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL help
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way. "a

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is TO assist people TO get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one OF the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack OF sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result of community Organiza-
ton. townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied TO work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs OF
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is TO lend q hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
snry.

Modified Boerner Sampler, has recent
~ been put out by the bureau Of mar

The sampler is cylindrical and
stands about thirty inches. The sam

pulling a lever that removes a cap
over the lower end Of the hopper. AS
the grain flows downward II strikes

cone.
Encircling the base OF this cone are
n series of small chutes whose dis
lance apart is exactly the width Of
these openings. Half of the grain
flows in these chutes, and half be-
tween them. The latter portion flows
directly into the uppermost Of two
pans placed one above the other at the
base of the sampler. The half fall
ing into the chutes is diverted into a
funnel. the lower end of which leads

of the upper pan, thereby permitting
this half Of the grain to flow into the

parts, one of which is certain TO be as
representative of the original lot as is
the other.

to take the place Of the more expen-

grading grain, according to practice
recommended by the United States de
partment of agriculture.

WOMAN RIGHTS
FIGHT PLANNED
National Party to Demand
Sex Equality In All
Walks of Life.

Sweeping nationwide laws plac-
ing women on an equal status with
the men will be demanded by the
National woman's party during its
Ginning convention. it was stated
hare yesterday. Questionnaires al
ready sent to woman lawyers in
quiring as to the present status of
women in every State have resulted
in information upon which, accord
ing to Miss Sue White. research
chairman OF the party. the follow
ing laws will be requested.
First-State laws sweeping away
the common law, that a married wo-
mans identity is merged in that OF
her husband.
Second-Providing that women
shall not be disqualified from hold
ing any civil office or pursuing any
lawful business. -
Third-That where examinations
are held for civil service and pub
lie school positions, they shall be
open to women without discrimina-
tion and that all such laws be
amended so as to protect their
equal opportunity and compensa-
ton
Fourth-A repeal of the Federal
statute affecting American women
who marry aliens.

COP. MAY NOT
BOOST TARIFF
$50
Leaders Have Concluded
Increases Will Not Pro-
duce Vast Sums.

Republican Congressional leaders
in general have come TO the con-
clusion that no huge and unexpect-
ed sum can be raised by enacting q
high protective tariff.
Although Senator Curtis. Kansas.
recently proposed a billion-dollar
tarff, and Representative Fordpey.
Michigan. chairman ofthe Ways and
Means Committee. says he plans to
raise half billion dollars from
customs. the prevailing opinion in
the Republican ranks is that the re-
vised tariff schedules can not be
much higher than those at present.
The reason is that financial condi-
tions are such abroad that few for
eign producers have the money to
send their products into this coun-
try over a high tariff wall. High
rates do not mean high revenues un-
der all circumstances, 1t Is pointed
out. as at certain point the sched-
ules become prohibitive and greatly
restrict imports.
The present tariff schedules yield
about S3e0,o00.000 a year.
