about to grow dusk, the young wife
became alarmed and started the
search.
Upon the discovery of the body, Cor

conclusion that the young man had
fallen from the tree. 1t is probable
that he was stricken with heart trou-

is ample story thread to carry the ac-

The scene is laid in a medium-sized

successful department store and the
mother has acquired social ambitions
in which she is seconded by her sons
and daughters. In order to meet the
ever increasing bills, the father works
incessantly, without any regard for

Red Cross Money
and Its PURPOSES

Why can not the Fed Cross money
be used for every purpose? That is
best answered by John Barton Payne,
in response to q communication from
members of the Lawrence, Kan.
Chapter. He lays special stress upon
the Importance Of keeping Red Cross
Chapter funds. intact for the emer-
gencies in which the Red Cross by
it's Congressional charter is required
to furnish relief.
You ASK" writes Judge Payne.
whether your Chapter may turn
over to community association GER
tain funds belonging TO the Lawrence
Red Cross Chapter. a similar ques-
ton was considered at a conference
of Red Cross officials in April, 1921,
and the following conclusion reach
ed:
/. The Red Cross is a chartered
corporation and must keep within it's
! charter obligations. 1t cannot act
upon every opportunity for service.
.. Red Cross funds are raised for
particular objects and must be used
for those objects.
- w A'AS Wv 4AItiOAidI
desires to give as much discretion as
possible to the Chapters in the devel-
opment Of local programs yet the
Chapters are the agents of the Cen
trial committee and can eXpend money
only for purposes and projects auth
orized by the Central committee.
4. When the Red Cross Chapter
raises money it assumes the obliga-
ton to supervise the expenditure of
funds thus derived. I: cannot, there
fore. transfer funds to other organi-
cations for their sole administration,
except by special appropriation by the
Central committee.
This conclusion is sound for while
the Red Cross should aid all good
movements by all reasonable means
it cannot be assumed that a fund
raised for. and by. the Red Cross
may not be required for definite Red
Cross purposes. Since the receipt of
your letter, for instance, the roof of
a theater in Washington collapsed
and killed and injured many people.
The Red Cross Immediately respond
ed: such service required a good deal
OF money. Under the charter granted
by Congress the Red Cross is re-
qulred to be prepared to meet emer-
gencies due to famine. fire. floods and
any kind Of disaster, and no commun-
ity can be certain that it may not at
any time be called on for such SER
vice. 1t is very wise, therefore, to
keep Red Cross funi:s intact and al
ways available for such emergencies"
The chairman's letter answering
only the one question presented, is,
Of course. to be supplemented by the
statement that Chapters funds
should be used so IA, as needed for
local needs within the authorized
program OF the Chapter.
