TENTH ANNUAL ROLL CALL 0F RED CROSS
 BEGINS TOMORROW
SEWARD EXPECTED TO GO "OvER THE TOP" AS IN FORMER
 YEARS

A great national phalanx of pre- paredness" has been set up by the American Red Cross to grapple with relief work such as that recently ne- cessitated by the Southern Florida hurricane, stated E. C. Johnson, chairman of the Seward Chapter, to The Gateway yesterday.
 Thus the national organization, in it's annual report, describes the num- erous Red Cross chapters that have grown up over the country. The re- port, Chairman Johnson said, covers the fiscal year last June 3O
 "Red Cross Chapters generally have been increasingly vigorous in perfec- ing strong, alert disaster relief com mittees," and consequently very large portion of the United States is covered with this disaster prepared ness. With unfailing accuracy and speed these chapter committees have moved into action when disaster has struck their communities. Chapters are studying their local disaster haz- ards more carefully. Though a dis aster may never occure in Seward, nevertheless a local study has been made and this also covers the West ward districts"
 During the fiscal year, the Red Cross participated in ninty disasters, including 62 within the United States. The year was the first since the world war that the organization was not called upon to serve in some great disaster, the New Jersey munitions explosion, the Louisiana hurricane and the Florida storm all having oc- cured since June 30.
 For disaster relief in the United States the organization spent $3,971,- S27 during the year, s229,OO0 of which was furnished by Red Cross Chapters. A total of S53.O75 was expended for foreign disaster work.
 For operations in connection with the midwest tornado, which killed 800 and left approximately 3O,OOO homeless, the report listed $2,962,- 159 as expenditures during the fiscal year, which brought the total spent in this disaster to S3,297,37
 Declaring that the community as we'll as state and national authorities are looking more and more to the Red Cross as the disaster agency best equipped by organization and ex- perience to handle their relief and re- mobilization problems" Chairman Johnson outlined attention to the forthcoming tenth annual roll call for Red Cross membership which be- gins tomorrow, Armistice Day, as an opportunity to help the organization advance in efficiency. As was an- l,nounced in yesterdays issue of The Gateway, the local chapter needs vol unteers to assist in maintaining the former record and anyone who wishes to volunteer is asked to either phone Chairman Johnson or leave their name at the Seward Drug company.

Peculiar things endear a musician

the veteran pianist, Vladimir de Pach-

people who were talking during one
Of his concerts. The audience, includ-

When Great Musicians Go on Rampage
AS Result Of Artistic Temperament

that time on de Pachmann has talked
to his audiences when he plays.
His managers were quick to realize
the value of this chatter and raised
the price on the first five rows of
seats. Beyond that his voice did not
carry. 1t did, however, at one Cali
fornia concert. l.. E. Behymer, the
Los Angeles impresario, was present
ing de Pachmann, and the pianist,
when half way through the concert,
suddenly grew very angry at the
audience.

Emmy Destinn, the famous Czech

and operatic field for a good many
years at the Metropolitan Opera
House, had her share of temperament,
which she seemed to take delight in
turning on or off as one does a water
tap.
A concert manager Of the Middle
West, whose name is linked with the
more important musical events Of that
territory, once had an experience with
this prima donna that caused him sew

But he called to the dog and cheered.
The fight had been great. His voice

Major understood that voice. and
answered with stubby ways of his

Barnes stood to let the dog pass.

In the hall outside the suite of the

"Oh, Lordv' groaned Mr.. x, "Is she

A LONG time Barnes lay among the

Barnes understood. He set down his

The widows black eyes were soft as
she dabbed at them with a corner of
her apron. She put in a broken word
for Wally:

But Barnes was out of the room.
He saw Wally, slumped against post
on the porch. Wally stirred, held out
his hand. On it was his warden's

beholders that the lobby was entirely

Mmtana's Healthiest City.

If BOzeman isn't the healthiest
town in Montana, which town is?
If the above assertion is a broad
one, here is a little scrap Of evidence
to go with it. About two years ago
the citizens put several thousand dol
lars into a city hospital. Since the
opening of this desirable institution
there have been but two patients in
it, an average so far of one a year.
These precious guests could doubt
less have been entertained cheaper at
the hotel BOzeman, even if it did cost
SO a day, but Bozeman, like any we'll
organized city, should have a hospital,
and anyone who suggested doing away
with it would be promptly dubbed q
mossback by the enterprise and thrift
of the town.
Who says BOzeman is not the
healthiest town in Montana?
