RED CROSS IS
 MAPPING OUT
 NEW CAMPA AICN
N a tio nal Organization Is Preparing Against
 Disasters

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Antici- pating national disasters which arc usual in the spring and summer months, the American Red Cross has launched a nationwide cam paign 'of disaster prephredness under direction of James L. Fieser, in charge of domestic operations.
 Several of the greatest disasters in the nations history have oc- cured in the last three years-the Florida storm of 1926, the Missis- sippi flood, the New England flood and the West Indian hurricane. New methods of preparedness and relief have been devised by the Red Cross, however, and this informa- ton is contained in the revised manual, When Disaster Strikes"
 The use of airplanes for scouting a II d communication in disaster work; the providing of radio for communication service and an air code for communication by airplane With isolated places, prepared by the United States Army, are new features of the revised manual.
 Comprehensive plans for disaster preparedness should be a particular part of the Red Cross program for 1929, in the opinion of MT. Fieser. Floods, tornadoes and hurricanes Iare frequently prevalent in the spring, summer and early fall months.
 An historical summary of Red Cross disaster relief work dating back to 1881 shows that the Red Cross was active in giving relief in 938 domestic disasters" says MT. Fieser. Its expenditures in those relief operations were $49 ,594,0O0.'
 As a part of the preparedness program a survey is being made in every community of all the disaster hazards, such as may exist in min Ing regions, around munition plants and where rivers, streams and lakes are subject to overflow

INVESTMENT TRUSTS CROW
 DIZZY PAGE

NEW YORK, April 2.-T-le latest authoritative surveys show there are 198 investment trust companies and kindred organizations in the United States and Canada today They represent a combined capital exceeding $1,500.0O0,0O0, and the amount is inceasing monthly.
 Twenty-six of the companies are engaged in financing and other &C., tiyities which might take them out of the class of ordinary investment trusts. Of the remaining 172 con- cers, 119 are of the general man. agement type and 32 of the special ized type. The remaining 21 are of different structure, set up under indenture agreements with trus t company trustees and called the contractual type.
 The aggregate value of all stocks and bonds listed on the New York Stock Exchange is almost 100 times the present total holdings of in vestment trusts. Converts to the trust idea therefore are saying that the surface has only been scratched and that there is wide area for expansion.
 Some well informed persons in the financial district predict that the next step will be the merger of existing trust companies into ylarg- CT organizations, and so on.

something done by his officers and men. But there are others whose work cannot be overlooked First of all there is the personal heroism of every individual in the boat crew who endangers his life by venturing in an open boat on a high sea. Then there are the men who double up to maintain the steam pressure in the boilers, and the alert engine crew that responds instantly to orders from the bridge. The loss of moment in executing an order by these men might mean disaster and yet they can see noth- ing from their positions in the hold of the ship. The credit for effect ing safe rescue belongs to every man of the crew, but in the case of failure, the blame is placed on the shoulders of the captain.

I do not particularly feel like a hero. The fact is I do not know now a hero should feel, yet there s a certain amount of self Satisfac- jon and pride in knowing that with Divine Guidance I was suc- ;essful in finding both disabled hips and getting their human car go aboard my vessels. But after all, it was in the line of duty and the master of any ship in my po- sition would have done his best.
 I could have enjoyed all the re- captions that have been given in ny honor if I had never been called )n to make a speech. Responding 70 eloquent discourses on heroism s the most difficult part of the 'escue business. At first I could lot enjoy the banquets and lunch 'ons at all. All too quickly the postmaster would rise and the peaches would start. I would ny to listen and at the same time ,ndeavor to prepare in my mind ! response that would be appro- priate. But when I arose my hind was befuddled. If I had lny idea of what I was going to .ay before I started, had forgot en it. My voice sounded so weak Words would fail me and my em- 1arrassment did not help matters my. Then I would sputter some hing and would not lose much time in returning to my seat. I was called upon so often that after a while could concentrate and at east say what I wanted. I still appreciate that I will never become LII orator and have no ambitions llong those lines.
 After my last rescue job I de- 3ided to send radio to the general manager of the United States Lines suggesting that he protect me from an extensive program with parades md banquets. Radio messages were coming thick and fast-messages of congratulations and requests to be present at various functions in dif- ferent parts of the country. New York City wanted to extend it's usu- Il greeting and I was asked if I would consider parade up Broad way, luncheon and a theatre party the first day, and then another luncheon. These I could not re- fuse. Then new angle developed in this hero business. Invitations came from Is cities requesting that I pay them a visit as their guest. Philadelphia was particularly in- sistent, with my old friend Sam T. Banham demanding my presence. Owing to the brief time available the itinerary was, of necessity, cut short.
 The one thing that impressed me most was the sincerity of the peo- ole, officials and civilians, who greeted me everywhere, but the place that gave me the greatest thrill of all was Worcester. There I visited my old school and was almost mobbed by the kiddies and went to many of my childhood haunts and shook hands once again with my former playmates. That day brought back many fond mem ories of the days that few of us want to forget

DETROIT, April 2.-The sports man pilot, who turns to the clear skies of spring as the motorist turns to the open road, will find q wide array of light planes from which to choose his new model at the Ail- American Aircraft show in Detroit, April to 14.
 Brightly coiored open cockpit planes, built to suit the tastes of the sportsman, predominate among the new models for the first time in years. Most of the little planes could be tucked beneath the huge transports, which have attracted most attention in the past. i Several of the light planes will come within the price range of au- tomobiles and not a few are com pact enough to be stored in the family garage. Folding wings help to cut down the space necessary for storage.
 l For the first time in the history of the industry, more than 100 dif- ferent planes will be on display at the spring show. Most of the pio- neer manufacturers are presenting new models; all have added im- provements to their 1928 products.
 The Standard Aircraft corporation a newcomer in the industry, is pre- pairing to show a new biplane de- signed by Charles H. Day, who was known for years through the Gates- Day flying circus. The Davis Air craft corporation of Richmond, Ind, another newcomer, will present the Davis "Red-Head," a two-place open mcnoplane, while the Doyle Aero corporation, Baltimore, has dressed it's "Oriole' up in new spring colors to attract the sportsman pilot.
 The St. Louis Aircraft corpora tion is sending the Cardinal a two passenger cabin monoplane, to 1 the show for it's debut. Don Alex ander of Colorado Springs, Colo, is putting the finishing touches on ! a new cabin plane which he plans to introduce this spring.
 The Looming division of Keystone Aircraft corporation will display a new product. The new ship de- signed by Alfred Verville and re- gently test flown here, will make it's debut. It is q four-place semi i cantilever monoplane. Buhl will present for the first time it's Air sedan Standard, six-place sesqui- plane.
 The Kreutzer, tri-mortored plane, the smallest three-engined plane being produced, will come east for the first time. Stinson plans to introduce a new low wing mono plane with 0 wide wheel tread. The Mohawk Aircraft corporation of Minneapolis, builder of the Pinto" :" has two new models on the way. A new Detroit aircraft company in which William E. Metzger and other local capitalists are interest ed will present a new four-place amphibian to be called the "Macair Duoplane Voyageur.
 Other manufacturers preparing new products for their debut at the spring show are:
 Acme Aircraft corporation, Rock ford, H., two place open mono plane; Alliance Aircraft company, Alliance, O., the Argo two-place open biplane; Arrow Aircraft Mo- tor corporation, Havenlock, Nebr., the Arrow two-place open biplane;

 In the three minutes it takes you 10 read this story, the population will have increased eight persons, or at the rate of one person every g seconds-whiCh is 100000 persons year.
