have been received since July last.
The Ohio. penitentiary and the Mans.
field reformatory are overcrowded.
Methods of studying and classifying
prisoners were suggested, with almost
a suggestion of futiiity. Methods
should be adopted that will insure the
reform and restoration to society of
the criminal, and not make of him a
total loss and a liability.
In similar vein, DR.. MacAyeal dis.
cussed the problem of the states hos
pitfalls, those institutions the state Is
ashamed TO call insane asylums. For
them he wants force of the best
medical men, not less than so for the
10 state hospitals. thoroughly equipped.
He would provide everything known
to modern mental hygiene. We are
now but on the horizon of an era
when we are to learn how to minister
to diseased mind. II we can spend
millions to discover how to kill men,
he suggested with emphasis, why not
spend a little learning how to heal
men?
I DIR. MacAyeal was relatively brief
in his discussion of what he termed
"devitalizing influences This was
not for lack of material but because
society still is so squeamish, as he
suggested that 1t Is not possible to
mention the subjects necessarily in.
volved openly and frankly. The prob
lem is, in the main, that of those ply.
sicaliy, mentally and morally sub.nor-
NAL. In illustration, DR.. MacAyeal
mentioned one family in Ohio insti.
tutiOns that has contributed 405 men
tally defective. Another has record
OF AZ in four generations. Mention
was made of one woman and her
eight children recently received at the
institution for the feeble.minded.
DR.. MacAyeal closed his address
with the observation that race Is the
most potent factor in human affairs
today. If we as a people are to sus-
tain the worlds civilization and are
not to surrender It to the untapped
reservoirs of Asia and Africa we
must maintain our racial integrity.

POTATOES BECOME
GOOD FARM CROP.
Predict Higher Prices for Spuds This
Winter.

That potatoes are becoming a bet
ter crop for farmers to grow, is indi-
Gated by study made of the prices
received for the crop for the past one
hundred years. Ordinary crops are
measured by the cash price they bring
but this is not always fair measure,
for the dollar fiuctuates in purchas-
ing power.
"The best measure of the profit of
any crop is the purchasing power Of
the standard unit of the commodity"
says r. n. Miller, farm management
specialist of the State College. "A
bushel Of potatoes did not have the
purchasing power one hundred years
ago, which it has today. Taking the
average as 100. last year potatoes
were low. the purchasing power was
good and two years ago the purchas-
ing power was 1870 points above the
average.

If the vital work of the society La to
be effectively carried on.
Outstanding among the items of the
domestic budget is the appropriation
of $3,669,256 for work In behalf Of
the disabled ex-service man and his
family. This appropriation represents
the amount allotted to this work from
National Headquarters only and does
not take into consideration the mil
lions being spent in chapters for re-
lief of the World War veteran. 1t
Is In the chapter that the greater
amount is spent in meeting this obu-
cation of the Red Cross, the announce
ment continues, as manifested by fig
ures of the fiscal year 192O-l92l when
the total was approximately $4,000
900, of which S2,692094 represented
the disbursement of National Head
quarters while the remainder was the
chapters contribution to this field Of
Red Cross service
Vast Work for Disabled
Chief among the subdivisions Of
the appropriation for work with vet
Grams is that which concerns itself
with assistance to disabled men and
women In government hospitals. This
item of S1,190,oOO an increase of more
than 100000 over the appropriation
for the same work in last years bud
get, will provide those personal serv-
ices for the disabled and their families
which are indispensable to supplement
those provided by the government
The director of the Veterans Bureau

the Red Cross should continue and
extend these "humanizing services"
Other items of the appropriation for
veterans relief are proportionately in
creased. An additional appropriation
Of S469,600 has been made for Red
Cross work in connection with regu-
lar Army and Navy hospitals and
with the REGULAR Army and Navy.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1921-11-18

For disaster relief, the Red cross
has set aside for the current twelve
months an appropriation of S543,976,
virtually doubling the appropriation
for the same purpose for the fiscal
year 1920-1921.
More than 100000 is provided for
service and assistance to the $500
Red Cross chapters by the national
organization.
Helping Destitute Children
Other items of the domestic budget
include S40S,546 for miscellaneous &C.
tivities, including contributions re-
stricted for special purposes and $685.
600 for management. Each of these
items represents large reductions over
similar appropriations of the previous
year.
From a fund of S10,OOO,OOO, $780,
600 of which was contributed through
the European Relief Council campaign
and 100000 allotted by the Red
Cross fSr child welfare work in
Europe, there remains Ss,765,1 0S still
available, of which it Is estimated
that 100000 will be required for
this work during the current year.

joint effort to relieve famine condi-
lions in Russia, for final work In the
China famine, for Junior Red Cross
and other overseas activities including
the closing of the old general relief
program in Europe S4,97S,00O is made
available.
In announcing the national budget,
the Red Cross makes 1t clear that
the figures do not include chapter ex-
penditures or place any cash estimate
on the invaluable service of volun-
teers in chapters.
