RED GROSS HELPS IN PEACE TIMES
Works Quietly Even When War
 Clouds Sail Away

Fifty-hve cents and a St, Ann charm were thrown into the flag carried by the Red Cross nurses in yesterdays parade and were turned over this morning to Leon A. Sprague, chairman Of the Red Cross roll call. Although this was a small amount, the roll call officials are grateful for it, as this money had not been sought.
 The addition of these voluntary pennies and nickels brought the to- tai amount secured in the first day of the 192t Red Cross roll call to $122.62. Reminders were mailed yesterday to all of last years mem bers, asking them to return the rec ord card enclosed with a member ship for the coming year.
 Although the help rendered to the fighting forces by the Red Cross dur ing war time Is well understood, 1t Is little known that the organization carries on this work during periods of peace. When a New Britain boy in army, navy or marines Is involved in difficulty, the local chapter of the Red Cross Is nearly always called upon to aid him.
 When information Is desired about a local lad in the service, the New Britain chapter of the Red Cross Is called upon to help out the boys commanding officer by furnishing the facts. Parents who are depend- ent upon boys ir the service fre- ouently ask that their sons be dis charged in order to support them. The military or naval officials i'm mediately write 10 the local Red Cross chapter and obtain facts about the case. If the request comes from a widowed mother struggling to support a brood of younger children or some relative in similar fix, the Red Cross does an undeniable serv- ice 10 the community by checking rp the facts and obtaining the sons release.
 Tn government hospitals where veterans are being treated, the at- tending medical men often material lv assisted In their diagnosis and methods of treatment by writing to the Red Cross, which looks up home conditions. family history, and other nertincnt circumstances affecting the natjent This frequently has called for good detective work on the part of the Red Cross investigator in dig ring up relatives of the stricken soldier.
 Although New Britain has municipal service bureau to assist ox-servicemen secure claims from the government, it frequently hap nens that a claim is made from ou' of this city which involves former lccal boy or relatives living here. IT this case, the Red Cross is always called upon and acts as supple ment to the ordinary work Of the municipal service bureau. The Ne" Britain chapter also made scfera loans to returning servicemen i'm mediately after the war. and these are now being paid back gradually

u. S. c. to Have
Four Buildings,
Athletic Field

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Aug 81
A building program in which an eX-
penditure Of $l,4O0,000 has been
authorized, has been started at the
University of Southern California.
Four buildings, one of which Will
be half completed by September,
are planned, Two Of them are un-
der construction and two more will
be started and finished within a
yea.
The law school will have. 4 new
structure as will the College of Den
tistry, the Chemistry Pharmacy de
p&rtment. A dormitory for women
students is also to ne built soon.
In addition, approximately $40.
600 is being spent in making over

Imperial Valley press., 1924-08-23

decided on six, five, four, three, two
one as their scoring system.
Elimination of the pentathlon
should cause no complaint. The de-
cathlon is Il better event, calling
for more all-round skill, and the two
events, as a rule, draw the same en-
tries. The pentathlon was frost
i'll Paris, and was contested before
empty stands.
The walk is trick event. Per-
haps it would have been better, how
ever, to restore the 5000 meters
walk and eliminate the long and
tiresome 10000 meter thing.
Any criticism about the removal
of the cross-country race can be
countered with the. question: Why
dofthey not have crOss-country races
III the United States during the hot
days of July?
There are other events on the pro
program that could have been kick
ed out instead of the team race. 1t
is an interesting event to watch, and
it requires fine craftsmanship, ex-
acting, as it does, the sacrifices of
individual honor and glory for the
interests of the team.
Officials of the Amsterdam COM
mittee in Paris said they had de
cided upon several changes in the
program. They said they would not
start the program earlier in the af
ternoon, but they would have lot
of the preliminary heats contested
in the morning.
Rather than hurry their Partisan
customers through their sacred 90
minutes lunch hour, the French
committee did not start the program
until 3 O'Clock, and it was seldom
that the program was completed be-
fore O 'clock. Several times it was
later than o'clock.
This worked a hardship upon the
athletes, especially the Americans,
who were forced to take l2-mile
ride back to camp, only to find that
the kitchen had been closed for
the night.
