RED CROSS SALARIES

The following paragraph is re-
printed from the Sturgeon (Mo.)
Leader:
"Since the Red Gross is paying some
men $4,000 salary, columbia citizens
are not quite as enthusiastic about
contributing this year as in the past.
Too much salary"
1t is regrettable from the view
points of both journalistic accuracy
and Red Cross interest that such mis-
statements occasionally appear in
print. 1t is particularly regrettable
because there is every reason to be-
lieve that these inaccuracies, except
in isolated instances, are born Of loose
talk and not of enmity.
The American Red Cross pays no
salary of $4,000 year to any person.
On the contrary, it has had in its
service at no salary at all or at NOM
inal salaries scores of individuals the
known yearly value of whose services
in other markets were several times
$25, 700; and many more whose SER
vices wer not transferable into terms
of salary.
The highest salary paid by the
American Red Cross is $4,000 a
year, and this is paid to only one ex-
ecutive. The chairman Of the Red
Cross, of whom President Harding
said on December Z: 81 look upon
Judge Payne as one of the ablest,
most far-seeing and whole-souled
American in public or private life.
devotes all his time to his Red Cross
work, receives no salary and pays his
own expenses on Red Cross business.
In the 3,463 active Red Cross chap
ters are copies Of the annual reports
made to congress by the organization
These reports contain complete tabu-
lations of all salaries. The last report
as of June 80, 1921, shows that three
officials were paid $4,000 each. Two
of these officials are no longer con-
nected with the organization. Chap
ter officers cannot serve better the
organization of which they are proud
than by studying its reports to con.
gress in order that they may correct
promptly in their communities such
inadvertent inaccuracies as that re-
ferred to above, virtually all of which
are based on ignornce Of fcts which
are available to everyone Red

Alfred was not particularly enthu-

He was anxious to try his hand at

as to his subjects.

the megaphone. "That's the realistic

But the scene was not done. The
camera man stopped cranklng, but the
love-making went on. The two prin-
cipals had forgotten about films, and
cameras, and directors, and things.

It was not very long ago that Re
publicans often suggested Senator
JAS A. Reed as the logical Democratic
candidate for President. At that
time most Democrats were inclined
to look upon such suggestions with
more or less suspicion. Now, since
Senator Reeds late speech on the
seating of Senator Newberry, after
the shameless expcse of the grating
methods used in his election the
aforesaid Republicans no longer ap-
pear to be carried away by Senator
Reeds power Of speech. In fact their
present encore Of him seems strange
ly like bunch of clans. Wonder if
they were really insincere in their
original compliments to the Senator?

The frightful storm that visited
Washington, D. c., the last of the
week practically put Congress out of
commission for several days, as. the
members generally probably had no
hip boots or knowledge Of how to wear
them. But SO long as they were per-
haps more or less comfortable in
their warm rooms, the people general
ly will not worry, even though Con-
gressional business is dispensed with
indefinitely. In fact no serious con-
ditions would be expected to the coun-
try generally if such storms would
more frequently occur in the National
capital to put the Congressional ma

Llle love SCeileS were updIHeIlC DeCduSe
the director just couldn't bring him
self to coach the participants as he
should. Directing frequently calls for
a deal Of shouting through mega
phone and pleading and cajoling, and
Allen was finding 1t impossible to be
earnest In urging Alfred Eldridge to
make realistic love to Constance.
1t was gall and wormwood to the
director to have those two stand In
front of him and utter endearing
terms, and embrace and even kiss. 1t
seemed like mockery of q thing d.
vine. Allen was realizing why he
had made failure Of his own attempt
to become an actor. He simply
couldn't pretend; he had to have his
heart in whatever he was doing, and
that was why the Pelton pictures were
poor. He had lost heart In the love
making of Constance and Alfred.
If only once he could get chance
to speak his mind to Constance. But
all his associations with her were on
a business basis. He could stand on
the sidelines and direct her In her
love-makIng, but there was no oppOr-
tunity to speak in his own behalf.
She came to the studio in her motor
car just In time for a scene to be.
snapped, and she was gone as soon as
her duties of the day were done.
One afternoon, when a distressingly
poor love scene had been filmed.
Alfred Eldridge approached Allen and
said:
"WcnfOrd, something has got to be
done. Our pictures are rotten, and
we know it, and you know it--and
what's more, old man Pelton knows It.
Maybe Tn at fault, perhaps it's Miss
Morton, but I'm afraid it's you. The
two of us did oil right as long as we
had the proper kind Of directing, but
we're lost without 1t. We can't get
pep into scene unless you get pep
into your directing. Miss Morton and
I are losing our regulations as actors
and you're losing yours as director.
First thing we know we'll be down
and out; and who will want to hire
trio of hasbeens?"
Miss Morton was getting ready to
depart in her car, but Alfred called
to her and she approached.

Constance. 81 can't seem to get en-
thusiasm into my acting any more,
for some reason"
"That's the way with me-" nodded
Alfred, land to be frank, think the

Allen realized the actor had hit the
truth, but he was not exactly pleased
at the others attitude.
"Perhaps you could do 1t better"

This remark did not squelch Alfred.

The other day friend asked The
Times man what he thought about
the Muscle Shoals proposition? Would
it be the right thing, or not, to give
to Henry Ford the right to handle
that wonderful promotion? Briefly
stated, our thoughts along this line
are about as follows: If the rights
of the farmer are to prevail in this
matter, then Henry Ford must head
that proposition. That is the one
way, as we view the matter, for the
producing classes to secure cheap fer
tilizer. However, it does not follow
that such will be the final outcome of
this proposition. The great fertilizer
producing companies have different
views on this matter. Their profits
do not come from cheap fertilizer, or
to be more correct, from Fertilizer at
a low price, regardless Of how Cheap
it may really be. OF course they are
straining every fiber in them to see
that Henry Ford does not land that
Muscle Shoals proposition. And it
seems that corporate influences are
rather strong with the present Con-
gress. Therefore the final outcome of
this question seems to be still in
doubt,
