RED CROSS NOTES

One OF the functions Of the
American National. Red Cross is
that of disaster relief. and during the
fiscal year which ended June 80,
1921. 43 disasters, resulting in the
death in the United States of $50
persons and the injury Of $500 called
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure of $1,377,OO0
These disasters were OF varying
types including fires, floods, cyclones.
explosions. epidemics and wrecks.
Many chapters maintain disaster
units whose duty it Is to take charge
of and deal with emergencies which
arise in their communities.
National headquarters has estab-
lished a network Of communication
by means of its chain of chapters,
through which instantaneous relief
may be dispatched to any part of the
the many activities directly con-
trolled from Washington, toward
which half of every one dollar men,
bership goes, the other half to be
used for local needs; this contribu-
ton makes it possible for any chap
ter to call on National headquarters
for assistance at any time that dis
asters in the community assume pro-
portions beyond local control.
Likewise so cents of every S. and
$40 membership is sent to Washing
ton. the remainder being kept in the
local treasury. so that every member
Of the Red Cross may justly feel that
he is not only sharing the RESPONSE
bility of the work carried on in his
own community but is helping
others whose burdens become too
heavy. knowing that the same SER
vice will be rendered him when
necessary.

Watch Out for This
Unauthorized Solicitor

1t would appear, from information
reaching the Office Of the State Board
of Charities and Corrections, that the
public should be very cautious in con-
tributing to any negro enterprise for
which a colored man named ]. B.
Raymond is soliciting funds.
ut appears that Raymond has been
soliciting for the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute without au-
thority and that he has also made
rather rambling and vague appeals
for other causes" said Captain James
i. Bagley, secretary of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections.
I'm one case he appears to have
living near Philadelphia had sub
scribed a sum of money for Tuskegee
on the condition that an equal
amount should be raised and that he
was commissioned by DR.. r. r
Motion. principal of the institute. te
secure the supplemental sum.
"Of course, there is a very simple
safeguard in Maine for the public
against imposters of this kind. that
is. to require the solicitor for chart
table and benevolent purposes. out
side the town where the contributor
lives, to display evidence that his or.
ganization has complied with the re-
quirements of the Maine law and re.
ceived license from the State Board
Of Charities and Corrections. This
the solicitor can readily do, if he is
properly licensed"

largely on account OF the decreased
value of live stock, due to the short
hay crop. etc. The live stock situa-
ton is really serious. Owners are
unloading their stock at almost any
price.
"Dhe law requires and I think il is
wise provision that the State as
SCISSORS be obliged to get in personal
touch once year with the local as
SCISSORS in their own territory and
thus gain the information required
by us for the making up of the fon
lowing years State valuation. first

plantations that only personal inter-
views can give.
I'VE can say truthfully and I wish
the local assessors have been ex-
tremely kind and friendly in attitude
and frank and open with their town
business. They have all appeared
very desirious Of cooperating with
us and have done everything we
could wish of them. They even SEEM
ed glad to do it. The members of
the State board appreciate these
things.
