10 DISASTERS IN YEAR
ENLIST RED CROSS AID
Nearly S4O0,000 Spent in United
States - Greek Refugee
Work Completed.

For its preparedness to render re
lief through effective and generous aid
to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report of the Red
Cross, its disaster relief operations
were carried out in 10 localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
Gus year, required the expenditure in
the United States of 1897 ,468.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 100000 mens women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended $2,605, $1,000. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
$4,000 tons; garments, 100000; blan-
kets, 48,550; new shoes, 5000 pairs;
medical, hospital and sanitary sup
plies, 304 tons. In the feeding of the
refugees there was listed upwards of
$4,000 children under three years of
age.
The disasters in the United States
during the past year reported 240 per-
sons killed, 991 injured, 1851 rem
dered homeless. The total property
loss was estimated at $20,710,000.
Relief of suffering caused by disas-
ters Of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the communi-
ties in which they occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter Of the American
Red Cross. In addition to making ap-
propriations from it's treasury and as
signing trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster cen
tralizes and makes more effective re-
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad-
ministered more than $20,OOO,00O for
the single purpose of disaster relief
That it may continue to accept the re-
sponsibilities which grave emergen-
cies place upon the American, Red

CHERRY PIE
BY BERTHA +. SHAPLElGH
OF Columbia University
LlE,r,, I'll, IA I, L. cl aHI.i.1s fain "

-
That's the query and exclamation
of housewives and husbands when II
comes to one Of Americas national
desserts. And now is Just the time
when it is heard most
Here's a good recipe for cherry pie
that should bring forth only eNclama-
tions of delight from those who taste
It;
Make good pie pastearoll to one
fourth inch in thickness and cover
the plate, elaving a half-inch of the
paste extend beyond the edge of the
plate. Pit one pound cherries, add
one and one-half cups sugar mixed
with one tablespoon -four and one
eighth teaspoon salt, and FIJI the
rastry- lined plate.
Turn the edges OF the paste over
the fruit, cover with paste exactly the
size of the plate, press edges firmly
together and bake 40 minutes IN an
oven that Is hot at first, then cooler
so that the pie may not be too brown
but the cherries well cooked.
