Some 1880 people still were on the
relief rolls June 80, but these have been
becoming self-supporting. Little or no
relief now is being given as result of
last years drought, but new major
relief problem has been caused by q
dry season this year in North Dakota,

a greater emergency must be met there
as the Winter advances.
The report revealed the Red Cross
functioned in n disasters during the
fiscal year. Most of these were not
widespread. but stunned local COM
munities and in some instances re-

Drought relief went to approximately
2,765,00 persons, with a peak load of
46O,2 families on the roll on any one

the pertinent facts concerning the
malady in the hands of laymen The
society has maintained fer several years

cure an ample supply of blood serum
from persons who have had the disease
for the treatment of new victims.
Thus far there have been nine cases
here since July l and the medical So
ciety has had an adequate supply of
serum even for mere extensive out
break. 1t also has been able to supply
serum for out-of-town cases. This
serum has been prepared at the Ma

drought was not like food or q hurri-
cane. 1t did not sweep the country
clean of local supplies.
THE Red Cross gave full rations to
those who had no rations whatever. It
gave supplementary rations to those
who were able to supply some of their
own staples. For instance. a family
might have plenty of cornmeal, lard.
salt meat. homemade molasses and
greens, but no. money for coffee, sugar,
white flour, rice and soap
Donations of foods from factories
and producers helped to supplement the
store orders. Gifts of fruit were always
distributed in addition to the issuance
of staples. The low prices set by the
local merchants enabled the Red Cross
dollars to go surprisingly far. The
spirit OF the merchants was generous in

NAVY BUILDING
TO COST S25l,866
Contract for AnaCostia Air
Station Structure
to Be Let.

Although the Army considers the
Navy merely as a tenant at the Naval
Air Station at Anacostia, Secretary
Adams today authorized a construction
program there, entailing more than a
quarter of q million dollars. The Sec
retary directed that a contract be en-
tered into with Worsham Bros. of
Knoxville, Tenn, for $251, 1856, for con-
struction Of building which will house
the administration forces and serve as
barracks and also for central heating
plant building.
The Tennessee firm, the lowest bid
ders of a number of contractors, seek
ing the job, is given 270 days in which
to complete the work, which will be
conducted under the supervision of
Rear Admiral A. L. Parsons, chief of
the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy
Department. 1t is expected that work
will start within the next two weeks.
Pile driving will be necessary as the
ground covered by the Naval Air Sta
ton is filled-in earth.
Should the Army need the Naval
Air Station area, which adjoins Boiling
Field, buildings constructed there would
become Army property, as the War De-
partment owns the land, according to
Army officials. Recently the Army de-
clined an offer of the Navy to pay for
some dredging work to raise the level
of the northern end of the field so
that no question of naval ownership
might arise.
The Navy Department tests its new
planes at Anacostia. At one time the
Navy thought of seeking other quarters
for its naval air station, but the action
of Secretary Adams today definitely sets
this at rest and means that the Navy
will stay at Anacostia.

the most distressing things to the deaf
is losing the ability to hear certain
tones in speech; other tones become
distorted and disagreeable.
After the war, during which period
she taught lip-reading to deaf soldiers,
Miss Wright came to Washington and
assisted in organizing leagues and
groups throughout the country which
could help those aff1icted to readjust
and rehabilitate themselves.
Pioneer in Relief Work.
LAST year Miss Wright pioneered in
placing wiring apparatus and instru-
mentS for the hard of hearing in halls
and auditorium whereby the deaf
could follow her lectures. Touring the
ment to hundreds who for years had
not heard a sound.
Miss Wright urges all those afilicted
to learn speech reading; to use the in
strlments which science has made pos
Sible and mot to be ashamed Of them.
and to join the local groups Of hard Of
hearing, whose organizations are rapid
" increasing throughout the country.
The federation of which Miss Wright
Is an active officer has grown from 8
organizations in 1919 to 106 organiZa-
tions at present. These fulfill the mis-
sions of clubs, providing entertainment
for members, disseminating knowledge
that will help the hard of hearing;
bringing the use Of the audimometers
for testing the hearing of children in
schools, and establishing classes in lip
reading.
washington has an active and pro-
gressive organiGation-the Washington
League for the Hard Of Hearing, at
826 Connecticut avenue.
Work Is PhiIanthrOpic.
The work Of the federation is en-
tirely philanthropic The sole object Is
to prevent segregation of the hard of
hearing from those of normal hearing
These organizations and clubs are in
reality "hope-filling stations" where the
hard Of hearing can go and learn to
live q normal life in a hearing world"
Through the federation many the
aters and churches throughout the
country have installed wiring apparatus
for the deaf; quRck cures have been
eradicated; manufacturers are being en-
couraged to produce hearing aides of
greater efficiency at less expense, and
those afflicted are helped to readjust
their lives and find employment in cases
where. through their handicap, they
have lost positions.
when we estimate there are TO-
100000 persons in the United States
with defective hearing" Miss Wright
concluded, I'VE realize that our fedora
ton Is like David attacking Goliath.

More Bargains

Classified advertisements in q
leading metropolitan newspaper
nearly always represent bargains.
More advertisements mean more
bargains.
An increase in classified ad-
vertising indicates the public is
cognizant of the value OF the bar
gains offered and is taking ad-
vantage Of them. The dollar will
buy more than in many years
past and Star classified adver-
tisementS are directing the buyer

contracts amounting to around o,0oo,.

which is $o,ooo,ooO more than last year.
The trend toward budgeting high
way expenditures over a period Of years
shown in the financing plans of a num-
Der Of States has MADE possible the
budgeting of paving work so that the
needs of different communities can be
met adequately" w. r. Smith, presi-
dent of the association, declares. "The
public in each section of the country
like to know when each of its roads will
be improved. Such budgeting has been
made possible through motor vehicle
taxes which supply an income that can
be predicted safely.
ANY diversion of the motor vehicle
taxes from use on the public roads is
greatly to be deplored," he concluded,
"and the public generally demands that
such funds be used for roads only"

Service to those who have been SEN
fenced to pass their lives in silence;
who by their aff1iction have been cut
off from friendly conversation and the
consolation of music, has been the
means by which Miss Betty Wright,
director of field service of the Ameri-
can Federation of Organizations for
the Hard of Hearing, has overcome the
handicap Of deafness, which came to
her at the age of 81.
Miss Wright'S story is dramatic and
inspiring Like the histories of so many
great souls who have overcome OBJ
stacleS in climbing the ladder OF sue
cess. Miss Wright has known the depths
of despair. But in spite OF obstacles,
she has risen above them and won in
battle to place herself in position
where she can carry the message Of
hope to others.
A few years ago, Miss Wright was
teacher in the Virginia public schools.
She had never had difficulty with her
hearing. After one of her ordinary
school days, when she had heard the
recitationS of her pupils as usual, she
sat talking with friends. Suddenly one
of the group exclaimed, Listen to the
music!"
what music?" asked Miss Wright.
Inc nOIeS udQ COHlS Clear anu dlc-
tinctly to all but her. The next day
her physician said. You are going to
be deaf-there is no hope for you"
Deaf! At 81. I walked away from
that specialists ofiee with black despair
in my heart. with bitter rebellion in my
SOUL" Miss Wright recalled at her office
in the Volta Bureau.
She explained how she readjusted
her life and carved out a new and use
full career, whereby she has helped and
encouraged thousands of afflicted per-
sons.
when I knew could never regain
my hearing" she said, upon the ad-
vice of Washington biologist, I studied
lip-reading."
"I had found a way out. A way to
help myself. 1 felt hope pouring into
my soul. The process Of recreation had
begun"
BY mastering the science of lip-read-
ing, Miss Wright explained how she
once again mingled with friends. With
her new-found accomplishment, she
started upon the career of teaching
others.
When science offered new instruments
to aid the hard of hearing, Miss Wright
was one of the first to take advantage
of them.
Hearing instruments are wonderful
things" she said. Although can un-
derstand lip-reading, I cannot hear
vocal tones. I have tried hard to keep
my voice normal and to hear tones"

''If it were possible to place RESPONSE

DR.. Butler asserted, however, that
the experience of the United States gave
evidence that "the republican form of
