GAS the year closed the organiza-
tion continued in readiness to serve
in the forthcoming winter at the
point Of greatest need and to ad-
just its service to meet the calls of
the emergency Of unemployment and
disaster" Chairman Payne stated.
In a year Of greatest economic
distress in the nations history, In
which the Red Cross ably discharged
relief task in distributing flour and
clothing to distressed families in all
but six of the nations 3,09S counties,
the organization also was called into

lives were lost, 14S,340 homes were
destroyed or damaged, 1925 per-
sons were injured, and Red Cross
relief was given to 452,S79 fndivid-
uals.
In giving aid in these disasters,

handling the distribution of govern
ment wheat and cotton, the Red
Cross expended from it's national
treasury the sum of s1,O7O,2S4.
During one period of twelve
weeks, 46 disasters occurred in %
states. Red Cross disaster workers
were hard pressed in meeting all Of
these needs occurring at once, but
everywhere misery was promptly re-
lieved.

Quoted by chapters in the period
from Armistice Day to Thanksgiv-
ing Day, November II to November

preservation of life, child welfare
through the Junior Red Cross, and
direct service for the public health.

Prepared to Save Lives

One of the most valuable services
given to the American public by the
Red Cross is through its Life Saw.
ing and First Aid courses. Virtually
all of the life guards at beaches and
pools in the nation are Red Cross
life savers. Nearly every industry
in America supports the First Aid
work Of the Red Cross because it an
nually saves lives of thousands OF
injured persons. These courses are
taught by Red Cross experts in both
lines. Last year 66,354 certificates
were issued to persons completing
the First Aid course and 1875 GER
tificates for completing Life Saving
instruction.

Toll of the Earthquake


When a severe earthquake killed
IS persons; injured ALL and de.
stroyed several thousand homes in
Southern California last March, the
Red Cross was first upon the ground
with emergency relief. 1t required
more than three months for the Red
Cross to restore the needy to self
sustaining basis The organization
expended q relief fund of $411,0O0
The membership in the Junior Red
Cross last year was 6,629,S66 boys
and girls in schools, private, public
and parochial. They enjoyed vol
unteer work in hospitals and for or
phans, the aged and crippled, and
also aided their schoolfellows by
providing attention for their eyes,
purchasing their glasses, and giving
many other types of service to them.

Not since the period of the World
War has the Red Cross faced a
greater problem in handling the
claims of World War and other vet
Grams. Due to the changes in the
regulations covering veterans
claims, chapters all over the nation
have been crowded with veteran
applicants for relief and for service
in preparing appeals. During last
year Red Cross home service work
ers in 3,26S chapters dealt with the
problems of 1,124 ex-service men
or their families. The chapters also
aided 1886 men still in the regular
army, navy and marine corps.

FORMAY USED
IN PIE CRUST

The average man in the United
Staes eats at least $50 pieces of
pie each year, statisticians tell us.
With pies forming an important
part in so many meals, housewives
arc bound to welcome any improve
ment in ways of making them.
Miss Margaret Coates, who is
conducting the three-day session
OF the Safeway Stores cooking
school, which opened yesterday un-
der the auspices of the Home
makers Bureau of SafeWay Stores,
Inc, has given special attention
to the making of flaky, crunchy
pie crusts. For this purpose, abso-
lite uniformity in shortening is
a prime requisite, she finds, and an
all-round product suitable for use
in making biscuits, pies, cakes and
fried foods, is essential to give the
housewife the best possible re-
suits with the least expenditure of
efford and time. Miss Coates uses
Fcrmay, the newly perfected
shortening made by Swift & Com
pany. She is demonstrating it dur
ing the cooking school sessions
here, which will close tomorrow.

A survey OF women in public Of

CHEMIST SAYS
HE HAS SOLVED
FARM PROBLEM

DETROIT, Feb. 16. U.Pj = An
humble chemist of Gridley, ILL.,,
has solved the farm relief problem.
Such is the claim of Richard B.
Bradley of Peoria, ILL.,, delegate to
the National Merchant Tailor's as
sociation convention.
Chemist Beshers' solution is to
convert all surplus grain into ethyl
alcohol, to be used as motor car
fuel. The plan, according to Brad
ley, was approved last week by
5000 delegates to the Illinois Agri-
cultural associations convention
at Peoria.
BesherS points out that the coun-
try's yearly consumption of gaso-
line is l5,000,000,000 gallons. He
suggests, Bradley said, that legisla-
tion be passed compelling a 10 per
cent ethyl alcohol dilution in gas
oline, thus using approximately
1,500,00O,O00 gallons of alcohol.
Bradley said this would solve
the problem, since 25 or 80 cents
bushel would be added to the
price of grain.
This plan is now practiced in
IA countries, Bradley declared. A
25 per cent dilution is compulsory
in Germany.
Bradley admitted this would in
crease the price of gasoline by two
cents per gallon, but added that

BALLOON TIRES
AID TRACTORS
SAYS DEALER

Increased economy and efficien-
cy in the operation of farm tract
ors is being brought about by the
application of large balloon type
pneumatic tires, according to j. B.
McNeece of McNeece and McNeece,
distributors for Goodyear products
, in this area
Extensive research by Goodyear
engineers" says McNeece, has
proved conclusively that it requires
much less of tractors power for
propulsion when the machine is
equipped with tractor balloon tires
in place of the conventional iron
wheels.
I. 1.-THE newest type of balloon tire
perfected for tractors by the Good
year company has large diamond
shaped blocks of rubber on the
tread which give the maximum
! traction obtainable with a rub
Der tread.
Most of the abuse to which
tractor is subjected in blowing,
cultivating and other farming op-
erations is eliminated when the
machine is protected from jars and
shocks by large pneumatic tires.
This makes possible higher speeds
under all service conditions.
Motorists wouldn't think of
driving their automobiles on iron
wheels, even at the low speeds at
which tractors usually are driven,
because of the wear and tear on
the vehicle-not to mention the
rough riding, which would be the
inevitable result
I'm many instances, the applica-
tion of Goodyear's tractor balloon
tires will result in improved eff
cheney and economies that will
more than compensate for their
cost, in a single season." McNeece
said

STATE BILLS
APPROVED BY
FARM BUREAU

Endorsement of the following
bills introduced in the state legis-
lature by the California Farm Bu-
reau Federation has been received
by the local bureau in letter
from headquarters.
Mixter bill, Senate 81; according
to the law at present commission
merchants are licensed by the state
and regulated by the state. This
bill would include under this pro-
vision all those buying farm pro-
duce on credit so that only those
who pay spot cash would be ex-
cluded. In commenting on this
bill, Scott B. Foulds, secretary
manager of the farm bureau, stat
ed that its passage would mean
great protection to Imperial Valley
farmers, particularly hay producers
Meeker bill, Senate No. 1863
This bill bears the joint signatures
of number of assemblymen in
Guiding s. E. Robinson, Imperial
Valleys representative. The bill
would change the public utilities
act 20 allow the railroad commits
sion to prohibit utility rates in ex-
cess of the value Of the service. At
present the act guarantees a GER
tain return on the investment and
the commission can not reduce the
rates under that provision below
this return. According to the state
farm bureau, if this bill is passed,
public utilities would be made to
share the vicissitudes of their con-
sumers. This bill would affect
power companies in particular.
Robinson bill. assembly No. 1903.
This bill was introduced by the To-
cal assemblyman, S. E. Robinson,
and is an amendment to the politi-
cal code requiring the assessor in
assessing real estate and improve
ments to capitalize their earning
power at seven per cent. This is
approximately the method used by
the tax research bureau in recon-
mending a reduction in taxes on
railroads and application of this
method means a reduction of the
assessed values of farms in periods
of low earning power since they
would be assessed on their earning
power.
