ITO DISASTERS IN YEAR
ENLIST RED CROSS AID
l!earIy s400, 1000 Spent in United
States - Greek Refugee
Work Completed.

For It's 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 ITO 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 ,46S.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 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended S2,605,696.O9. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
$4,000 tons; garments, 100000; blan-
kets, 4S,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 24O per-
sons killed, 991 injured, 1881 rem
dered homeless. The total property
loss was estimated at $20,710.00Q
Relief of suffering caused by disas-
tiers Of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources OF the communi-
ties in which the. occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter of the American
Red Cross In addition to making ap-
preparations 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 S20,000,000 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
Cross appeal is made for nation
wide renewal OF membership during
the annual roll call, which opens on
Armistice Day. November IL, and
closes on Thanksgiving Day, Novem-
Der 30.

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on Drownings

The insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel Of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts. riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss Of life by
drowning the Red Cross is making
constant Roadway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer-
Gus the past year that it was neces-
sary to more than double the staff OF
Red Cross instructors. This work OF
training for water life-saying showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and a man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

TO ABOLISH GRADE CROSSINGS

The decision of the state highway commission, concurred in by Governor Brandon, to provide for elimination of grade crossings on highways con- structed by the state deserves the cordial commendation of the people of Alabama. Grade crossings are not only unnecessary in most instances, but they convey constant menace to the lives and safety of the people who travel the highways. The enterprise displayed by the governor and the highway commission in bringing the majority of the railroads of the state into a definite working agreement marks an achievement that has been duplicated in few, if any, other states. AS soon as this program is begun the public many at once chalk up to the credit of these public servants defi- mite number of human lives saved from needless slaughter. This one de- cision is the most momentous arrived at since the inauguration of the pres ent road-building activity.

PUBLIC VOCATIONAL TRAINING

A field for practical service of which the average Birmingham citizen knows little, but which promises not able results to the community, is the vocational education and manual training conducted in connection with the public school system. Birming- ham is essentially an industrial cen- ter. There is large and constantly increasing demand in this district for men who arc trained for skilled labor. The larger the supply turned out by the schools the greater the district 5 industrial development.
 Vocational education and manual training in the Birmingham schools aim to fit the youth for efficiency in variety of fields, and offer instruc- ton to adults in lines along which they are already laboring, but in which they desire to improve themselves. These courses include machine D work, printing, shoemaking, repairing, cabinet-making, pattern-making, wood turning, mechanical drawing and many useful things coming under the head of household mechanics. The courses are voluntary, and are so conducted as to be of aid to the pupils as respects their tastes, adaptability and choice.
 Under the system ambitious boys with talents and industry are being equipped for efficient service and good citizenship. It contributes to self-reliance, independence of action and to larger measure of content ment. The system is already making itself felt for good, while promising much to the districts industrial ex- mansion
