ANNUAL RED CROSS
ROLL CALL DRIVE

VIM. Carl Hunt, manager of the Pa
cific division of the American Red
Gross makes timely statement about
the work of the American Red Cross
and the approaching annual roll call
in the following message to the peo-
pie of Flagstaff.
The time is now at hand for the an
nual re-enrolIment of Red Cross mem
bers. People everywhere are coming
to more and more regard it as priv
ilege to belong to such an organization
as the Red Cross, and are thankful for
the opportunity of becoming identified
with its noble work by such simple
process as paying dollar in annual
membership dues.
There has never been period in
the history of the Red Cross when its
members had more grounds for being
truly proud of the organization than
at the present time. The wonderful
response of Red Cross chapters every
where to the proclamation of Presi-
dent Coolidge and the call of national
Headquarters for funds for Japanese
disaster relief is only another of the
bright chapters in the record of this
unparallel organization of mercy. This
fund has now passed the II million
dollar mark, and the Pacific division
has the distinction of having subscrib-
ell almost four times the quota asked,
thus setting record for the whole
United States.
While the Berkeley fire was still
raging a telegram was sent to national
headquarters for funds to cover imme-
date relief requirements. As soon as
the wires could carry the return mes
sage we were authorized to draw upon
national headquarters for ten thousand
dollars. A week later similar re-
Quest resulted in fifty thousand dol
lars additional being granted for Ber-
kelley relief. Only last week we made
cur third request, with the result that
thirty-seven thousand more was set
aside for this purpose, making total
of ninety-seven thousand dollars to
date for the Berkeley fire sufferers.
This is only an instance of the way
the National Red Cross functions in
time of fire, flood, tornado, epidemic,
age of a million dollars year for
the last ten years has been spent by
the American Red Cross in disaster
relief work alone. 1t is readily seen
that this is equivalent to the amount
received by national headquarters
from two million members. If disas-
ter relief was the only activity car
ried on by the Red Cross, it would
amply justify its existence and be
sufficient reason for members to re-

sand dollars. Twenty-Five per cent Of
this, under federal law, goes to the
states in lieu of taxes for the support
of schools and the building of roads.
Forestry officials predict that the
lumber cut in the national forests for
the fourth quarter viii be heavier
than for the past quarter. Logging
and market conditions are now favor
able and the mill owners are endeav-
oring to get logs ahead so that plans
may be operated during the winteS
when SHOWS or mud often interfere
with logging.

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, Sept. s.
There's a little new cottage in Cali
fornia waiting for Marya Siminoff.
And on theNmantel a tiny violin waits
for Lisa, Marya's 5-year-old child.
Ivan, Maryas husband, built the
little home and made the violin as he
waited for the coming Of his wife and
baby from Russia.
He planted roses in the garden.
when the roses bloom you will be
here with me-" he wrote Marya
happily.
That was two months ago. The
roses are in bloom, but Marya has not
seen them.
Marya has come and gone. And she
may never return.
For America, the country to which
Marya and Lisa fed for safety-to
which they looked for freedom and
happiness-did not welcome them. And
all they saw Of America was Angel

them.
Quota Is Exhausted
For Just as the Shinyo Maru, the
boat which brought them and more
than 100 other Russian refugees,

They were "excess-quota immigrants.

LabOrers Arrive
A ship containing 100 Russian labor
ers arrives. The laborers remain but
one night. then go on to San Fran

as 'intellectuals," watch the labor
ers depart.
"Ah. It is not equal-this democ-

1t nears the end of the fifth week
One day the dread word "deport-

Must Awaken Public

The next step in making America
dry involves the awakening of the
public to the shame inseparable from
the purchase and consumption of al
cohol. The Anti-Saloon League has
recently taken an important step in
this direction by christening both sell
ers and buyers of liquor ''piggers." "
The Federal Government, IN more dis
Greet terms, is to join in stigmatizing
the patronage of bootleggers.
A frontal attack on bootleggers
themselves has failed to halt the
importation, manufacture and sale of
immense quantities of whisky and
gin. Familiarity with the practices of
the law has in many cases tended to
embolden the alcohol traffickers.

A typical case is of a Washington
bootlegger who formerly supplied a
small clientele with second-rate booze.
He lived in fear of arrest, and had
decided to give up his business" In
disposing of his last few cases of
whisky he was arrested. From that
point on his education was rapid. He
met the bonding company sharks. the
police court lawyers and the prohI-

who offered to let him off for certain
information
He became satisfied It was easy
to beat the game if certain technical
requirements were compiled with. He
abandoned his idea Of retirement and
proceeded to enter the game. on n
bigger scale. It is duplicated wher-
ever bootleggers exist, which is
everywhere in the United States.
