to disaster sufferers In need. Government re-
lief consists In giving employment and whatever
additional relief Is required for the maintenance
of family regardless Of whether or not they
are disaster sufferers. Thus the Red Cross con-
tlnutes Its functions as the national disaster re-
lief agency.
There we're A tornadoes and q floods In the
United States last year, and the Red Cross In
each case met the emergency and brought about
rehabilitation. During period of II weeks
40 disasters occurred In % states many OF them
affecting wide areas.
In the United States relief was given In 217
counties and ten towns. There were eight storms
. involving hail or high wind or both. There were
six fires and forest fire. There were three ex-
plosIons, cloudburst, cyclone, drought, an
earthquake, a hurricane, mine explosion,
shipwreck, a snow blockade and typhoid cpl
demic-all receiving prompt response from the
Red Cross.
Whenever a disaster sweeps an agricultural
section the loss extends not only TO the victims
but to the entire community. Local business
feels the impact The Red Cross recovery pro-
gram helps here for grocery and other buying
orders are given for execution through the regu-
lar local channels. This patronage removes
much OF the sting from the disaster and stmu.
lates return to normal economic conditions.
The Red Cross Is always prepared, for Its
chapter disaster committees schooed In re-
lief procedure. The Red Cross works closely
with the government weather bureau, the army,
the navy and coast guard Today Red Cross
disaster machinery is maintained at the high
est state of efficiency In history. The many re
cent hurricanes found the Red Cross everywhere
organized for meeting emergencies.
1t Is not unusual for Red Cross disaster work
ers to be on the ground In advance OF the ar
rival OF an approaching storm. In the case OF
disasters Of types which cannot be anticipated
to any degree, 1t is never matter Of more than
a few hours until Red Cross workers are on the
spot bringing order out of chaos
Relief work has other operations In addition
to that required by sudden disasters. Six hun
dred thousand women under the Red Cross ban
ner gave more than 100000 hours In the past
year to making garments for children and adults
Sewing rooms hummed as In war days. Women
who had knitted In war days once more piled
their needles In the cause OF good citizenship
and patriotism At the last national Red Cross
convention In Washington living models dis
played examples of workmanship of production
units In chapters In every part OF the United
States Items ranged from dresses to sweaters,
from blouses to overalls. 1t is estimated that on

MARKETING
CLEAR CIDER MORE

The truth of this statement Is borne
out In the experience OF farmers who

the sales of apple cider wherever the

farm production has been limited to
the larger orchards because OF the
cost of machinery. The homemade
device for producing quality apple
cider gives the farmer, who can con-
tact the public or retail outlets, a
chance to turn low grade fruit Into
a nice profit.
Experiments with consumer demand

An earthquake that not only was
the largest recorded In the United
States hut the longest began several
months ago In sparsely settled sec
ton of Nevada. The greatest shock
came within few days after the
first, and since that time thousands
of smaller shocks have been record
ed. According to biologists 1t was
caused by forces down deep towards
the earth's core and this probably ac-
counts for the fact that there was so
little damage done. No lives and
very little property were lost during
this period of temblors. The shocks

New York, February 21 - OUPl - The stock market experienced another sinking spell near the close today after leading issues had ruled. steady through the earlier trading.
 Volume was light throughout the day. During the early dealings, traders were awaiting word from Detroit to determine the outcome of the banking moratorium. No definite announcement was forth coming and many unloaded hold ings to be out of the market over the holiday tomorrow.
 Selling was particularly heavy in American Telephone and the is- sue broke below 99 against a prev ious close of 100. The stock was adversely affected by two devel- opments. First of these was &C., tion of one of it's main associate companies, New England Tele- phone in pairing down the quarter ly dividend from $z to $1.50. ,Sec- ond, a move was started in Albany to investigate rates of New York Telephone, it's largest operating unit.
 Radio Corporation was another weak spot. flL was SOlQ m large blocks. Some of the selling was said to be coming from those who will receive radio stock as dividend from Westinghouse Electric and General Electric. Those compan- ies were forced to distribute to stockholders their holdings of radio under a court order.
 Utilities generally dipped with telephone. Cons o lidated Gas, which had held firm all day, lost 1-2 point net and others of the gas and electric group made corre- spending declines. Holders of these issues have been perturbed recently by efforts to bring about rate re- auctions.
 Railroad shares maintained a firm tone until the last hour when they, too, joined the downtown. Union Pacific at one time was at Fl up 9 3-S points. Earnings of the road in 1892 were equivalent to $7.29, against $9.93 in 1881. Near the close Chesapeake & Ohio de- clared the regular quarterly divi-

Market Got Sinking Feeling Toward The

 Changed Near the Closing Hours

dend and the stock fn7med up to the previous close.
 Steel common held slightly above yesterdays close all day. Allied Chemical was bid up to the early trading, but 1t lost the gain later. Aviation shares were in fair de- mand most of the day. Coppers ruled steady as did oils. Small losses were registered in American Can, Case, General Motors. DuPont and International business ma chimes.
 The grain market made a fair show of strength. Wheat closed up 3-8 to 1-2 cent a bushel, while corn netted gains of 1-8 cent. Rye made belated response to the pro- hibition repeal resolution passage by jumping cent. Barley was unchanged.
 Silver Metal experienced a sharp decline after a rise yesterday to new high lvel for the year. Inn petus for the change in trend was the tabling of remonetization bills by the House coinage committee and a wide break in the pound sterling.
 Cotton futures were firmer for time on rise in spinning ac- tivity but they eased off near the close. Bonds were still unsettled with United States Government is- sues selling down again. German issues were steadier but Japanese loans broke sharply.
 Business news was mostly fa- vorable, including such items as a sharp drop in business failures; indications of an upturn in car loadings for the week ended Feb ruary IS; a rise in gasoline prices by Standard oil of Louisiana; and gain in building in January as compared with December.
 Steel news was in line with ex- pectations. The American Metal market reported a decline of 8 point in production from the re- cent 19 per cent rate. Dow, Jones & Company placed steel ingot pro- duction for the week ended Feb. uary 20 at 20 per cent of capacity, against 19 1-2 per cent in the pre- ceding week and 19 per cent two weeks ago.

Noted Flyer
 to Visit City
Hausner Here Tomorrow Will Deliver Address

Stanislaus r. Hausner, Polish flyer, whose projected flight to Warsaw from New York ended in near disaster last summer, will visit this city tomorrow as guest oi the combined Polish societies of the city and will speak at Sl Hedwig's hall on East Farm street at 8 o'clock, at which the public is invited.
 Hausner plans to attempt the hazardous nonstop flight oncC again this year about the middle of May or June. lie has already collected half the needed funds from Poles in this country and cX- poets to raise the rest in the next few weeks. Last night he lcc- tured in Pulaski hall in New Ha- ven.
 When he started out last spring the plane was so heavily loaded with gasoline and oil that many never expected 1t to leave the ground. An ambulance and fire truck was waiting at the field, ex- pecting him to "crackup". He got away however. and reached New foundland and started out over the Atlantic in q snow storm. He had passed the halfway mark when a few hours later the motor stopped and he landed on the Atlantic.
 For eight and q half days he waited in the cockpit of the plane. What little food and water he had were gone and he knew the end was near. Once on the sixth or seventh day he had seen the smoke of the ship, but no. the ship itself. On the ninth day he sighted ship which picked him up two hours later. but he had to leave the plane as high seas were running. He reported when he landed in Florida. that he would try again if he could get q plane and last night in New Haven he ktated that he expects to keep his tpromise in the name of the Polish people.
