ties. ranging from service to the world

year of l928-1929 that Is the goal set

held from November II to 30. ARMS
tice to Thanksgiving Day
John Barton Payne, chairman of the
American Red Cross at Washington,
in calling upon the nation for 100000
adult members. directs attention to
the great expenditures required Of the
Red Cross for disaster and veteran re.
lief work. and for its many other &C.
tivities devoted to health preservation
and Improvement and to cutting down
the number of accidental deaths,
through life saving and first aid
courses
THE Red Cross should at all times
have large reserve fund.-" Judge
Payne stated, because when disaster
strikes. and this organization is called
into instant action, there is no time to
stop and raise funds. Dollars may
m lives, SO we should have at all
times good reserve. We have been
forced each year to draw upon our
reserves. and we find that the de.
mands are increasing annually"
Judge Payne pointed out that in the
fiscal year of 1929. the Red Cross
had extended aid in G6 major catastro.
Plies in the United States and its
insular possessions. and In % nations
abroad. This does not include the
West Indies hurricane disaster in
Porto Rico and Florida, which &C.
Cured after the close of the Red Cross
fiscal year, June 30, 1928.
The Red Cross expenditures for dis
aster in that period were $16.544,.
25S.87, of which approximately $13,.
100000 was expended in the Missis.
sippi Valley for the food relief work,
which came from a fund contributed
by the public. More than $1.000.000
was expended in the St Louis tornado
damage, and more than $l.000000 in
New England In both cases public
relief funds were raised, although IN
Ne Y England the Red Cross contribu
ted in excess of 100000 from its own
funds for the relief work. In the ma
jorty of the other IS disasters. and
in all of the % foreign catastrophes
in which the Red Cross extended aid,
the money came from its own re
sources
The largest item in the annual bud
gel of the Red Cross is for its veteran
relief and work for disabled ex-sefvice
and service men. upon which it .sx-
pended in this year $l,l69.795.
Every man and woman is asked by
Judge Payne to join the Red Cross
during the roll call period. to aid in

THOUSANDS CANNOT
TAKE ASPIRIN

The discovery few years ago OF
q pain relief which exhaustive tests
by thousands of physicians, dentists
and nurses proved it to be truly
wonderful, was indeed a great bles-
sing to sufferers of headaches, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, neuritis, period
pains. During the great flu epidem-
ic it was conclusively found thous-
ands could not take aspirin, acstan-
lid or compounds containing these.
The remarkable new discovery
called A-Vol does not contain asplr-
in, acetanilid or any heart depres-
SAINTS. It is absolutely harmless to
Young or old. 1t stops pain in five
minutes and instead of leaving you
feeling loggy, it actually peps you
up.
If you have severe headache,
pains of any kind, you owe It to
yourself to try this remarkable new
scientific discovery. A tube of II
tablets at your druggists costs but
a few cents. Just ask for A-Vol-
you will be delighted.

There are many reasons
for the ease Of steering
the new Ford

THE new Ford is exception.
ally easy to steer because OF
the well proportioned
weight of the car, the steel
spoke wheels, the co-ordi-
mated design of springs and
shock absorbers, the size
and design of the steering
wheel, and the simple me.
chanicai construction of the
steering gear.
The Ford steering gear is
of the worza and sector
type used ON high-priced
cars and is three-quarier
irreversible.
In simple, non.technical
language, this means that
the car responds easily and
quickly to the steering wheel,
yet there is no danger of the
wheel being jerked from the
hands of the driver by ruts
or bumps in the road. A
light touch guides TIE car,
yet you always have that
necessary feel-of-tEle-road SO.
essential to good driving.
Strength of materials and
careful workmanship give
unusual stability to the Ford
steering gear and housing.
The steering worm, for
instance, is splined to the
steering worm shaft and is
stronger, of course,
than if a single key -
were used to hold s

SINCLAIR IN JAIL

Harry F. Sinclair at last has shown world that it is possible to convict million dollars. His experi- ment in employing able counsel and lodging from legal pillar to post, and as a sideline utterinG contempt of the U. s. Senate, failed after long warfare with blind justice. 6omberly clad and heavy of heart, the oil mogul finally appeared before the prison gates to serve his 90 days. He will have nice weather for it. While indoors doing prison routine the spring days will advance to what promises to be a pleasant summer, and by the time the hot weather is at it's hottest. that is to say in August, Sinclair will again be free. At least, he consoles himself, the entire summer will not be spoil- ed. He Will still have time to hie himself to some cool watering place and try to forget the unforgettable.

SMALL SHIPMENTS

Railroads have been hard pressed to provide a method to compete with motor trucks in the transportation of less than carload lot freight. This species of freight lends itself ad- mrably to highway transportation from door to door. while on the railroads it provides much expense in handling and therefore is taxed with a higher rate than carload lots. The utilization of containers on freight trains. in which such freight can be placed and shipped with less handling and consequently at re- duced rate, has made a beginning. Thus again necessity has become the mother Of invention.

CARE WITH THE: TARIFF

The new tariff bill which was scheduled to make its appearance in Congress today is a document of S5,- GOO words. Its compilation required the assistance of numerous indi- siduals who called upon the ways and means committee of the House during the hearings; it's general trend was indicated by the state ment of President Hoover that he did not favor a general increase in rates
 It is too early to study the pro- posed rates with care, but it is likely that no tariff bill will get through Congress that is not based upon sound logic and present needs. If. as the administration has claimed, prosperity is general and profound. and prosperity-alsoa as the adminis- tration claims--is indubitably bound up with the tariff. radical changes would seem unnecessary.

THE FAMOUS RANCH DEAL

The Three Rivers ranch of Albert B. Fall in New Mexico, sold at auc- ton, took longer to reach this ulti- mate goal than most observers sus- pected. It was the former interior secretary's sudden prosperity in the purchase of this property and the expensive equipment that went with it which first caused suspicion to be directed toward him as to how he got the money. The news trickled back to Washington, caused much shak- ing of heads, but of itself led to no action or investigation until Senator Wheeler and his colleagues among he inquisitors began pushing under the surface of things. MT. Fall had ready answers as to how he was able to invest SO heavily. and to some the answers appeared satisfactory. But we now know that there was a good reason for the prosperity thus eyinced.
 It takes considerable money to operate a property of 700,00O acres. Mortgage holders don't wait forever for their returns. The famous ranch, valued at SS0O.0O0. has fallen into the lap of F.. l.. Doheny for but . part of that amount. Mir. Fall no longer will need to worry about the mortgages plastered about the place.
