RED CROSS IS
TACKLINC BIC
RELIEF TASK

WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the
Mississippi flood, the American Red
Cross has confronted its greatest
task since the World War.
1t is the worst disaster of the
kind in the history Of Red Cross re-
lief work, covering more territory
and involving more individuals than
the San Francisco fire in 1905, the
Ohio River flood in 1913, or the Flo
rida hurricane last fall.
With approximately 100000 home
less and nearly 100000 living in cor
centration camps, more persons are
in the society's care than at any
previous period in peacetime.
In addition = the flood, it is also
suecoring the ictims of three tor
nadoes and - mine explosion, max
ing this peiiod dwarf that of Sep
temberOctober, 1926. which Red
Cross officials then described as the
worst in their knowledge. including.
as it did, the Florida hurricane, floods
in Illinois, Kansas, Iowa and Okla
homa. two fires in Alaska which de-
stroyed whole villages, a tornado IT
Ohio, the Cuban hurricane, flood
i'm Mexico and hurricanes in the
West Indies Despite the number of
disasters then, only 100000 persons
were under the society's care.
The Ohio River flood more nearly
paralleled the Mississippi disaster
than any other which has engaged
the efforts of the Red Cross, which
then was just beginning the organ
ization of its disaster relief machin-
cry and was unable to cope with
such a situation as it can at present.
About 100000 were made homeless
in Dayton and the 142 other cities
and towns inundated in 1913. and
$2.472,2S7 was expended in feeding
and clothing refugees and helping
them to reconstruct their homes. as
compared with the minimum of $40,
100000 sought in the current emer-
gency.

distance from coast to coast was
about 1850 miles.

AS a cadet in the army, Lindbergh
and another pilot leaped to safety
when their pursuit planes collided at
5000 feet. Again. Lindbergh jumped
from a spinning test plane at ST.
