Realizing the necessity for
presenting films that shall APP
peal to the children, stimulate
without exciting them, and, if
possible, have a distinct educa-
tional value without becoming
tiresome, one of the largest pro-
ducers of serials has conceived
the idea of basing these films on
characters in American history.
Instead of children being shown

Exploits of Egbert" and "The
Escapes of Ermintrude, this
company win present series Of
authentic incidents in the lives
and careers of the CONSPICUOUS
figures of this country's early
days.
The first of these historical
serials will narrate the adven-
lures and struggles of John G..
Fremont, soldier and explorer,
whose excursions across the
Rocky Mountains and into the
West beyond form one of the
brightest pages of American his
tory.
Carl Laemmle, president Of
the company which is responsible
for the innovation, says: GIN

picturesque activities of the
Forty-niners during the gold

adventures of the Indian-infes-

An Ever Expanding Problem
That the problem OF the disabled
service man is ever-expandng ana
probably will not reach the peak be.
fore 1925, IS the assertion OF wei-ln-
formed Government officials and that
1897 Red Cross Chapters regard Il
as their most important work is evil.
dence that the expansion is in nowlse
confined TO particular secrion but is,
on the contrary, nationwide. At the
end of the fiscal year, June so, 1921
there were $4,000 disabled service men
in the 1862 United States Public
Health Service. Contract and Govern
ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes,
and that number is increasing at a
rate OF 1000 month.
Thousands of these men receiving
medical treatment compensation and
vocational training from the Govern
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the
disabled mans agent In claims against
the Government, informs the man as 70
the procedure necessary to gain for
him that which Is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Chapter
Many Forms Of Assistance
II there is delay before the mans
claim is acted upon, the Red Cross
Chapter lends the man money to meet
the imperative needs Of himself and
his dependents
Most vital to the mans gaining full
benefit from the Governments care is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping the veterans fam
lily from hardship Of every Kind and
informing him Of It's welfare Is an,
other province Of the Chapter. Free
from fear on this score, the my MS re-
coyery and advancement usually is
rapid.
Every month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
service OF one kind or another to mn
average Of 1925 former service men
and their families. An indication Of
the extent OF the faith rcposcd in the
Red Cross Chapter is to he found in
the fact that there were 3i6,544 re-
quests for friendly aid IN the solution
of personal problems.
