ter granted by Congress authorizing
the society in time OF peace to train
its members to render humanitarian
service in emergencies. Every year
an appalling list of drownings marks
the heavy toll of lost lives, usually of
victims in the prime Of youth. The
distress In suffering brought into
thousands oe homes By the annual
drownings is awakening the American
people out OF indifference toward
these poignant losses, with the result
that in all walks of life very infuen-
tial support is being accorded the life
saving program.

Recognition after the years expe-
riences which proved the soundness
of the Red Cross purpose to carry out
its work OF prevention and preserva-
ton encourages the belief that in an
other ten years 1t will have grown ten
fold. The Government has put its seal
of approval upon life saving by using
the course at the West Point Military
Academy and the Annapolis Naval
Academy, also by anording instruct
ing under Red Cross experts at camps
of the regular army, the reserve Off

II, F. Elbows, National Director Of
Life Saving, says:
1.-THE maintenance and development
of the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps Is
a distinctly preventive service. It has
justified itself through its accomplish.
ments over the period Of ten years.
It is growing out of lusty infancy
into stalwart manhood that cannot
be denied because 1t is the express
sion OF common sense actions lead
ing to the ful1ness Of life. Nowhere
has 1t been opposed; everywhers-ass
has been enthusiastically accepted
and endorsed. Its future Is secure
because life saving along water
courses has been built upon a sound
foundation, and its increasing strucJ
tire is firmly laid in procedure and
msthod tested In the crucible of prac.
teal experience. Every individual
