Judge Payne said.
In the past year help was given in
10S disasters. Ninety of these were in
the United States, twelve in foreign
possessions and six were in foreign
countries.
Health activities of the Red Cross
also are being extended, especially
in the rural communities where all
health authorities agree the greatest
need exists. Red Cross, with 1874
nurses in it's employ. is the greatest
employer of public health nurses In
rural areas in the United States.
In its campaign against accidental
deaths, begun twenty years ago with
its life saving and first aid programs,
the Red Cross now has adopted an ad-
ditional program-tbat of combating
the huge toll of life from automobile
accidents on the highways.
Expenditures of the Red Cross in the
past year were $4.254,796.34, of which
$1,20S.151.09 was spent in disaster
relief. the chairman pointed out.
"The Red Cross depends upon the
public for its support. through their
memberships enrolled once each year
In the period from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day." Judge Payne said.

Comfort Kits Sent 10000
Service Men by Red Cross

Gay patterned cretonne bags, or
comfort kits, containing articles use
full and amusing. are sent by the Red
Cross to 10000 soldiers, sailors and
Marines, on foreign service, as Christ
mas remembrances.
The little gift bags are donated and
packed by women in Red Cross Chap
tiers all over the country. They are
despatched by Army transport in the
early autumn in order to reach the
foreign ports and posts of the U. S.
services in time to be hung on the
Christmas trees. Giving the remem-
brances from home is the outgrowth
of plan adopted by the Red Cross
prior to the World War when so many
National Guard regiments were on
the Mexican border.

Saving Mothers and Babies
Is Important Red Cross Task

Saving mothers lives and better ba-
bies were important features during
the past year of the Public Health
Nursing Service of the American Red
Cross. About four-ffths of the 1874
nurses in the Red Cross work made
more than 100000 prenatal and mater
nal visits, in addition to assisting
doctors in the examination of 1908. 400
school children.
Statistics reveal that the lives Of
two out of three American women who
die in maternity cases could be saved
If they received proper medical and
nursing care. AS more than $4,000
women die in the United States each
year from various diseases of the ma
ternal state, this means that more
than 10000 of these deaths are pre-
ventable.

all who attended. Rev. H. H. Ficken-
scher, president of the Chautauqua
association, made an earnest effort to
make the Chautauqua a success and
while as yet it has not been definitely
decided whether or not we will have
Chautauqua next year, if it is held it
will be sometime before the opening
of school to prevent confusion in the
school.
