which the Red Cross did this year

III the areas deyasted by wind and
water as well as wherever disaster
struck home In thlrty-nine states.
The Red Cross program OF service
In disaster relief, IN health work,
In behalf OF disabled ex-service
men, In leading our children to
good citizenship through the Junior
organization and In all of Its work
for humanity, reflects the generosity
and spirit OF helpfulncss OF our
citizens. The greater the Red Cross
grows In membership the better
this nation and the world will be.
Tho return OF prosperity brings
with IL an added responsibility on
the part of all OF us toward our

BRITAIN OWNS
 NEW WAR DEVICES

London, March i7.-(UP)-Great Britain possesses & new submarine detector capable of minimizing armed ships from under water at- tack, Somerset De Chair announced in the house of commons last night.
 De Chair, son of the famous Ad- miral Sir Dudley De Chair, said also that the admiralty had con- structed an anti-aircraft ship which was able to pour terrific volume of fire in defense of harbors and of other ships.
 The submarine device. De Chair said, operates on the reflector ray principle so that practically no sub- marine can come within torpedo range of e ship without detection and destruction.
 An expert explained later that the device was a development of sound loeators, The ray strikes an ap- preaching submarine and is reilect- ed back to ship, By computation it is possible to estimate the DO" sition and course of a submarine.
