NEW YORK, December 21.-Orders
already received indicate the biggest
December in years to the book publish
ers, and the jobbers find business good,
but New York retailers find book buy
ing somewhat affected since the stock
market collapse, condition not re-
flected by the rest of the country.
The heads of six of the largest pub
fishing houses told representatives of
the Publishers Weekly that, while Mo-
vember had been a normally good
month, the first business week in De-
cember was marked by sharp increase
in recorders. One publisher said, how
ever, that the booksellers had ordered
SO prodigiously that he would advise
them to put out an unusual amount Of
advertising, in order not to be caught
with large stock in January.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP

The drive for the enrolment oi
members to the National Red Cross is
to open officially on Armistice Day,
Throughout our nation, but the mem
bers OF the Komrad Klub of Rising Sun
will enroll members at any time, and
will be pleased to see that your name
is forwarded if you are ready to con-
tribute yonr dollar to this great cause
for humanity.
The American Red Cross is known
and highly respected throughout the
entire world. Suffering mankind in
every land has been aided and COM
forted by its minstrations. No single
charity in the world enjoys more fav-
|orable recognition. Its efficiency and
accomplishments make the strongest
possible appeal to our generosity. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
its power to carry on its work of relief
in times of great disaster and wide
spread suffering is always limited by
the funds placed at its disposal though
the benevolence of our own people.
May the people so respond to this
|cali that the national Red Cross may
1enlarge its service for humanity.
| Give your name and dollar to futher
this cause.

TO SEND SUPERVISOR TO PERRY

Hospital Business Manager Under
Fire OF Criticism

Fire OF Criticism
Frank T. Hines, director of the u.
S. Veterans Bureau, states that
supervisor from the central office
will be sent shortly to Perry Point,
to check up on complaints contained
in recent report of the hospital
committee, Veterans Of Foreign
Wars. at Baltimore, in which condi-
tions at Perry Point were criticised
severely.
r. A. Grammes, chairman of the
hospital committee, Veterans OF For
eign Wars, in a report to the coun-
Gil of administration, Department OF
Maryland, scored the management
of the Veterans Bureau Hospital at
Perry Point.
This report, which has been filed
with Mr.. Hines, says in part:
THE general and practically unan-
imous opinion of all interviewed in-
dicates that Moses Friedman, bus
1ness manager, is of a most domi-
neering disposition and, although he
is under the direction of the COM
manding officer, his attitude and
handling of the executive duties in
dicate that he predominates over
the commanding officer.
Clothing for the patients who
are hospitalized under Section 2O2-
10 is not being haudled efficiently
in so far as securing clothing
promptly for the patients when re-
Quested.
"In fact, many obstacles are plac-
ed in the way when the Government
purchases clothing for patients out
of their own personal funds. We
feel they are overcharged."
