lief This relief must come immediately if disaster is not to befall us and others. Our people must be vouchsafed the possibility of working under conditions of life which are bearable.
 The relief which is necessary would, through it's material and moral effects upon the general crisis, rebound to the benefit of all countries. It would improve condi- tions in other countries and essentially re- duce the danger to Germany of the internal and external tension and strain that have been created by our distress and lack of hope.
 You MT. President representative of the great American people hold the pos sibility within your hands of taking the steps for the German people and for the world by which an immediate change in the situation so fraught with danger, can be brought about

commission wishes to eliminate such

There is also a new system for get
ting tags, now that the license rates
have been placed on a basis of weight
without relation to horsepower. Brief
ly it's as follows:
persons owning the cars for which
they purchased 1881 tags will receive
from the state commission at Raleigh
application cards which are to be pre-
sented to one of he motor club
branches in purchasing tags. Persons
who have bought cars formerly own
ed by others must send to the state
commission their papers showing trans
fer of ownership, in exchange for
which they will get application cards.
Persons from eut-of-state must send
to Raleigh their title papers and get
the regulation cards. For new cars,
we can arrange to handle the details
through dealers to avoid bother by
purchasers and can issue tags direct
ly upon presentation of purchase re-
ceipts."

HUGE task IN DROUGHT
AID met BY RED CROSS
Relief Given 10 Distressed Helps
in Meeting Serious Situation,
Chairman Payne Says.

"The year of the great drought"
as these past twelve or more months
will be known to future generations,
wrought great damage to millions.
Not alone did the crops, which were
burned in the fields in twenty-three
states, in the summer Of 1880, deprive
several million persons of food, but
the drought disaster continued in the
summer of 1881 in the northwestern
states, and also brought other minor
catastrophes in it's wake, such as for.
est fires, and the gr%asshopper plague.
More than a year has elapsed since
the American Red Cross launched, in
August, 1880, it's first moves for relief
of the drought-stricken farmers, and
in that time more than 2,750,000 per
sons were given food, clothing, med.
ical aid, shelter or other type of as
sistance. At no period during this
veal were there fewer than 10000
persons being aided and at the peak
of the relief work on March 1, last,
more than 100000 persons were be-
ing helped.
Today, still as a result Of the
drought, the Red Cross is giving ex'
tended relief in parts of North Dakota,
Washington and Montana, where re-
sources of hundreds Of families were
wiped out this past summer, when a
second and more severe spell of dry
weather was prolonged in that region.
This drought relief presented the
greatest task that has ever been I'M
dertaken by the Red Cross as a peace
time activity. The Mississippi Valley
flood of 1927, while more spectacular,
and calling for relief Of a costlier type,
because homes and possessions were
swept away, affected hardly %one-fourth
the number of people who suffered be
cause of the drought.
In addition to the broad program
CT drought relief still being carried
OF, John Barton Payne, chairman of
the American Red Cross, has given
the following suggestion to Chapter
chairmen, in regard to unemployment
relief: "Where there is suffering and
want from any cause and the funda;
mental local needs are not being met,
Chapters may participate in the COM
munity plans for meeting the need"
Some type of general family relief,
whether for the drought victims, the
unemployed or the wal veteran and
his family, we're carried on by more
than 5000 Red Cross Chapters last
year Judge Payne said.
"The drought relief work Of 1880
81" he added, "the relief now being
extended following last summers
drought, principally in Montana and
North Dakota; the assistance which
is being given to ex-service men and
their families; and the part which
several hundred Chapters are taking
locally in their communities relief
measures are activities of the Red
Cross, national and local, which have
met end are meeting some of the serl'
GUS needs of the present situation"

INCREASE SEEN
IN EMPLOYMENT
THR0U0UT U. S.
Eight Hundred Compan-
les In 26 Lines Of Bust
ness Report On Favor
able Factors.

Gradual improvement in business
conditions was reported to the unem-
ployment conference of the National
Association of Manufacturers, in a
trade survey of industries throughout
the United States.
Eight hundred companies in 26
lines of business answered a question
naire of conditions as of October IS,
J. Lewis Benton, general secretary,
said.
Favorable factors, on these basis of
these reports, were noted as follows:
l. Better business than last fall is
reported by 8 per e of the compan-
les, compared to 5 per cent last year.
Eighteen per cent held the same bus
mess, compared to IA per cent last
year.
2. Employment shows a slight in
crease over October, 1880. Five per
cent of the companies increased their
forces, compared to 2 per cen last
year. T%hirty-one per cent have held
the same personnel, compared to 20
per cent last year.
3. Wages have held their own or
been bettered in 81 per cent of the
companies. Decreased production,
sales, and prices strike a general aver
age nearly three times that of wage
reductions.
4. inventories are the lowest in
years, indicating that when general
buying is increased, plants will be
compelled to enlarge forces to speed
production.
Several industries showed marked
improvement over their state of trade
a year ago. Among these were auto
mobile accessories, Il per cent in
crease; chemicals, II per cent; cleo
trical supplies, Is per cent; leather,
u per cent; paper and pulp, "A per
cent; rubber, IS per cent; stationery
and printing, 9 per cent; textiles, II
per cent, and miscellaneous, 9 per
cent.
Fifty-eight, per cen of the firms
said they considered prospects for the
winter fair, good or excellent.
The employment relations commit
tee recommended that unemployment
relief should be on the basis of pay
ment for work actually performed. 1t
urged that politics be kept u of ad-
ministration of public relief funds,
and that local bodies control the work
under the supervision of a central state
authority.
Available work should be spread
over the week t help the largest pos
sible number of applicants, the COM
mittee suggested.
James W. Hook of New Haven,
Conn.,, described a. survey made by
the New England councils industrial
) committee to determine what business
executives believe are the activities
most needed to increase employment.
1.-THE majority VOTE" Hook said,
urged employers to keep as many
people on their payrolls as possible by
eliminating overtime and reducing
weekly hours"
William G. Rose of Cleveland pro-
posed a similar program, suggesting a
20 per cent reduction in working
hours with corresponding decrease in
