..j70l,404 SPENT IN
This STATE BY RED
CROSS IN TWO YEARS
Value OF Cash, Food, Clothing
and Feed Distributed
Over $1,000, 900

The National Red Cross has spent
!. $70l ,404 in cash In North Dakota
since July l, 1892. This amount rep
resents actual cash paid out by the
national organization for relief work
in the state In addition to funds spent
by local chapters, according to Roy
Wingate, permanent field representa-
tive for the Red Cross for North Da-
kota.
In addition to the money expended,
the national organization will have
distributed new clothing and cloth in
the state to the value Of $133, 404, Win
gate said.
Shipments Of blankets. overalls,
sheeting, shirts, underclothes, sweat
ers, cloth and other manufactured ar
ticles are being distributed to the
counties for relief Of indigents. This
will be the last shipment Of articles
manufactured from the allotment Of
cotton turned over to the Red Cross
a year ago by government agencies.
The Red Cross will not be able to
distribute flour this year, Wingate
said, owing to the fact that the wheat
allotted to the organization year ago
TOR the manufacture OF flour for relief
purposes has been exhausted. Besides.
the United States government has
taken over much Of the relief work
formerly performed by the Red Cross,
he said. Beginning with the spring
Of 1882. Halt barrels Of flour were
distributed in North Dakota, accord
ing to records Of the organization. In
addition 1,576, 900 bushels Of cracked
wheat was distributed In 1882 for feed
for live stock.
Since July /, 1881, the Red Cross
has distributed 9,032 four-pound pack
ages Of garden seed, 1925 bushels Of
seed potatoes and has distributed do
mated food and clothing valued at
e150,416, in North Dakota, Wingate
said. "Those fiEures are conserva-
tive because we valued potatoes do
mated at Is cents per bushel, which
was considerable less than the mar
ket value" he asserted.
In addition to the money spent by
the Red Cross, the food and clothing
donated and the clothing and cloth
manufactured and distributed, the
railroads donated their services in
transporting q great portion Of the
relief shipments. The value Of these
services can be conservatively esti-
mated at one million dollars, Win
gate believes. Totaling everything up
the Red Cross has had charge Of the
expenditure Of over two million dol
lars in the state since 1881, he said.

LOS ANGELES. October 25.-The
foothill section surrounding Los An
geles on the north and east was
Jared sharply by an earthquake at
IL pm last night.
The shock was felt to a lesser degree
In the metropolitan district of Los
Angeles
No injury and practically no damage
Was reported,
DR. Harry Wood of the seismolcgical
laboratory of the Carnegie Institute OF
Pasadena reported the epicenter of the
quake was near Pasadena. That city
Glendale and Burbank reported having
felt the quake strongly.
In Glendale canned goods were
tumbled from store shelves and scores
Of burglar alarms were set off. Beverly
Hills, also in the foothill section, but to
the west, reported only light shock.
In Bell. southeast Of Los Angeles, the
police station was cracked.
The only effect OF the quake in Los
Angeles was to jar loose few stones
from the old red-stoned court house
which had been condemned and roped
off following the March 10 quake. which
caused damage amounting to millions
and the deaths of more than 120 per-
sons. Long Beach, center of the March
10 tremor, was unaffected by last nights

DR.. Wood reported the shock was
considerably less violent than one

ignorance.

1t has put him into an untried field
where no one, not even he, can be sure
of results. The details of how he works

SCIENTIST BELIEVES RUSSIA
MAY BE CRADLE OF MANKIND

He explained Asiatic Russias i'm
portance in the search for prehistoric
knowledge
All roads once led trom the interior
of Asia, millions of years before they
converged on Rome. Many things be-
gan there. it is his theory; then they
moved out.
The huge reptiles. the mammals that
followed them finally man, followed
definite paths of migration, one west
and south to Europe, the other up
through what Is now Siberia and into
North America, across the overland
passage once thought to have existed
between the two continents.
No one has followed that path care
fully in search of what primitive man
left behind him, he said.
For example, the mystery of what
happened to the dunes people might be
solved along the Siberian trail. Only

Then there Is the missing link In
the evolution Of the horse. Paleontol-
ogists have traced the horse from
eochippus, a small, four-toed animal, to
the superb running mechanisms Of to-
day.
Before eohippus, scientists know.

which have not yet been found. DR..
Andrews has discovered fossils of
eohippus in Mongolia; others have
been unearthed in Europe. North Of

The first impression of the money
experts was that Mr.. Roosevelt would
work out his scheme somewhat as
follows:
First he would start buying gold
somewhere around the world price,
possibly at about S31 an ounce.
That is nearly S11 an ounce more
than the Government has been paying
for gold. Economists figure that es-
tablishment of this new price would
be equivalent to devaluing the gold con-
tent of the dollar about IS per cent.
They also say it would increase COM
modify prices, but no one knows how

fair health despite his gruelling
experience.
