.SERVESM MILLION
MEALS EACH DAY
Red Cross Organization
Cares for Flood Refugees
With Little Effort.

Serving three meals a day to more
than 100000 refugees is task the
American Red Cross is accomplishing
in the flooded Mississippi Valley with
as little confusion as an average house
wife experiences in feeding a family
of six. This is made possible by care
full organization.
Each refugee center of 60 persons
or more has a trained disaster worker
directing relief. Wherever possible,
foodstuffs are procured locally by the
area director, in accordance with the
Red Cross policy of giving merchants
in disaster areas the benefit OF pur-
chases. Where an area is cut off by
water from any source of supplies,
the director telephones. telegraphs and
in some instances radios his grocery
list" to base headquarters in Memphis.
Orders Sent Promptly.
The Memphis office, receiving the
order, ships the foodstuffs from it's
huge warehouse or purchases it in
Memphis, Vicksburg. New Orleans or
other nearest center to the area where
it is needed and ships it by boat or rail.
An order yesterday from Greenville
was on it's way from Memphis by boat
within three hours after the request
had been received. The vessel carried
food sufficient to care for Is, 900 people
for three weeks.
The types of food being used by the
Red Cross correspond in all areas with
the sort of food the refugees are ac-
customed to in normal times and has
the approval of the Red Cross medical
director. When foodstuffs are bought,
the purchasing agent calls in the
Ill ID ST. fct, xxyI1o
and bidding takes place as they sit
together around a table. The lowest
bidder gets the order and Immediately
hauls it to a railroad car or boat. from
which point it proceeds, usually within
an hour or two, on its way.
Special Traffic Men.
Special traffic men have been as
signed by the Illinois Central Railroad
to see that shipments of Red Cross
supplies are routed as expeditiously as
possible. In an emergency situation
special trains can be procured on an
hours notice. At the camps rationS
are distributed on systematic basis.
A card record is kept, and weeks
supply is distributed at time to each
of the refugees.
One cOrnfield negro recently in
quired of a Red Cross worker who was
distributing rations if he could wrap
it up and deliver it."
Due to the fact that warnings were
issued in advance of the floods, in most
cases the majority of refugees We're
able to carry cooking utensils with
them, and it has not been necessary to
furnish either these or stoves in great
numbers. In only relatively small
number of camps has it been necessary
to continue mass feeding. Some camps
have canteens, but in most cases the
food is distributed to families and pre-
pared by them.

ROME, May 14.-Osseryatore Ro-
mano, official Vatican organ, under
the title ttHow Alfred Smith Answers
Unfortunate QUESTIONABLE" prints a
dispatch from its New York CORE
spondent describing the recent ex-
change of open letters on the relation
ship of church and state in which the
Governor of New York participated.
Osservatore makes no editorial COM
ment.
The news dispatch declares: Gov.
qualities as administrator of public
affairs. Having acquired large fol-
lowing, owing to his personal gifts,
there is no doubt that many Ameri-
cans would be ready to let the ques-
ton of his religion pass to the second
line and vote for him, but the Metho-
dist sect, which one of the former
Presidents called the third party, is
fighting tooth and nail against the
supposed possibility of Catholics
candidature."
After quoting extensively from Gov.
Smiths letter setting forth his posi-
ton as an American Catholic in po-
litical life, the correspondent con-
cludeS:
.Gdv. Smiths answer has untipped
many of his opponents arrows. Many
newspapers, although unfavorable to
Catholicism, have showered approval
and praise upon the governor. The
attempt made to shake his popularity
has had the effect only of augmenting
it. Anyway, it is not case OF speak
ing of Gov. Smiths candldature Tor
the presidency at present, but his
Catholic faith will not be the predomi-
mating objection in case of his even

FUNDS FOR CHURCH
DEFICIT SOUGHT

Takes Steps.

The field department of the execn-
tive council of the Episcopal Church
in the diocese OF Washington, is TAX
ing steps to securet from the people
of the Episcopal Churches contripu-
tions to pay the quota of the dlocese
toward the deficit of the Eplscopai
Church in the United States, Whlch
at the time of the last general con
vention held in New Orleans IN
October, 1925, amounted to ABOUT
$1,500.000
The quota assumed by the Bishop
of Washington amounted TO S5V'oou
and Bishop Freeman has afeau!,
through his personal efforts, raised
approximately 500 of this amount
The field department is charged with
securing from the parishes ofIerinss
for the missionary enterprises Oh the
Episcopal Church.
The deficit was the accumulation
of annual deficits over a long period
of years and was occasioned largely
by the increase in thes rate OF eX-
change of money in the Far East
Appropriations made for definite pur-
poses we're found to be 1nsumclent
at the close of the year because or
changes in the cost of living ana III
the value of money. When the totaI
of this deficit was presented TO the
general convention the various
bishops present undertook to raise
proportionate amounts.
For the most part these quotas
have been paid, but in Washington
the last $12,500 has not been col
lected owing to the necessary appeals
that have been made for other pur-
poses. The field department be-
lieves that at this time the sum can
be raised with a minimum OF IN
convenience to the members OF the
congregations.
