Anyway, It Pays.

About ten days ago Cautle lost a
$40 bill. He advertised his loss and
two days later a man called and de-
llvered to him the bill. Cautle gave
the man reward and thought no more
about the incident, except to reflect
that mankind was more honest than
most people were willing to admit. A
few days later he changed suits and
in the hip pocket of the other suit
found the $40 bill that he had sup
posed lost.
1t seems difficult to draw moral
from this tale, but it undoubtedly
must be one in favor of the great
American art of advertising.

Spend Millions

to do in behalf of the stricken and
impoverished nations overseas during
and after the war practically came to
close on last July 1, the program Of
services and relief adopted for the
current fiscal year require a budget
mounting to $9,789, ,872.47 This is less
by $2,735,975 than last years expendt-
lures by the national organization.
However, the large financial opera
tions of the $500 active chapters dur
ing the year, combined with this bud
get, it is estimated will approach an
aggregate Of some $20.OO0000 ex-
pended throughout the world by and
in the name of the Red Cross.

the nursing service, including enroll

Disaster relief requires high eff
cheney Of preparedness to render ade-

disasters last year $1,441, ,486 was ex-
