PROMPT RESPONSE MADE TO
CALL OF RED CROSS

Prompt response has been made TO
the appeal fer S500,00O &c extend
relief work amorg $4,000 ssfferers
In the flood stricken arecs of the
Mississippi Valley, Harry L. Hopkins.
manager of the Southern Division Of
the American Red C1css, announced
Saturday.
Not only in the South, where in
terest in the food sufferers is natu-
rally greatest, but in every part of
the country, money is coming into
local Red Cross chapters for relief
among the destitute, homeless and
hungry refugees in the stricken dis
trlcts. Although the total amounts so
FAR contributed have not yes been
tabulated early indications are that
The response to this appeal will be
generous.
The Red Cross appeal was made
through local chapters after the flood
situation, the most serious in recent
years if not in history, became such
that fund of 100000 Sc aside by
the Red Gross relief measures be
came inadequate TO care for the re-
tugees. All contributions are being
made through the local chapters of
the Red Cross and the monev is being
applied to actual relief work as fast
as it reaches national headquarters.
In the meantime conditions con-
tinue to grow more serious and daily
an increased number OF refugees seek
food and shelter in the six Red Cross
tent camps that have been establish
ec as clcse TO the flooded regions as
is practicable. Two special food
committees. directed by Joseph Z.
Logan, assistant manager Of the
Southern Division of the Red Cross
and Miss Belle Pike, special Red
Cross representative, are administer
ing the work.
Thirty-nine special Red Gross work
ers, twenty in Mississippi and nine
teen j. Louisiana, are new in the
flooded district. Supplies, clothing,
tents. cots, blankets, and field kitch-
ems have been distributed in large
numbers to the sufferers.
The rrcblem of food, both for the
refugees and the live stock, is pre-
senting TIE most serious problem 10

the funds now being raised will be

for the sufferers. Thousands of the
destitute refugees were actually starv-
ing when they arrived in the Red
Cross camps en- rafis and boats. and
the existing food supply is being
rapidly depleted. Unless more is pro-
vided shortly thousands will soon be
on the verge Of starvation. according
to Red Cross workers in the district.

ly not expecting to reach their desti-
nation under their own power. Stu
dents who have had considerable ex-
periences in this art have made up
some very interesting statistics re-
garding this matter. On clear day
an average of one car in every five
that passes will stop to pick up re-
spectacle looking person. On a bad
day, the average may run as low as
one car in eight or ten. 1t is almost
impossible to get a ride after dark.
1t has also been estimated that in mid
summer, with good weather, the trip
from New York to Chicago can be
made in six days on an average.
The expenses connected with such a
tip are almost negligible, the only
charge being across ferries or through
toll gates, and the usual boarding and
rooming charges at the end of the day.
II one is in hurry, great deal
can often be saved If one is careful in
choosing his make of car. Ii pays to
wait until fast car comes along, the
