BECAUSE Washington for many
years past has enjoyed compare
tive freedom from disaster, the Red
Cross does not occupy SO prominent
place in public consciousness as in
communities that have been dealt
body blows by food. famine, plague.
earthquakes. explosions, hurricanes.
and calamity in other horrible forms
The sections that know the Red
Cross best are those that have known
nature at its worst. The introduction
has been at a time of great misfor-
tune. and the famous relief organiza-
ton is remembered for its invaluable
services in alleviating misfortune.
Human memory traditionally retains
the sensational, the dramatic. the he
roic. Everyday performances are
forgotten. Services after destruction
naturally are more noteworthy than
services Of instruction. 1t is these
latter services. virtually ''unhonored
and unsung," that have been the prin-
cipal tasks of the District Red Cross
Chapter.
This chapter begins today its an
nual membership campaign, the twen-
tieth in a history dating back to the
World War, when the Red Cross was
second in importance to the military
1t asks $4,000 Washingtonians to con-
tribute a dollar each. In return, it
gives the familiar white button, en-
blazoned with the international SYM
Dol Of mercy. and a card signifying
membership in the local and national
organizations. These are tokens of
the members participation in an or
ganization which lives the favorite
theme of the President of the United
States. BE a good neighbor."
Cain asked, Am I my brothers
keeper?"
The repy Of the Red Cross is, Eyes,
| when that brother is in pain or suffer-
ing or danger"
MANY Washingtonians may ask
themselves: why should I give
to the Red Cross? 1t doesn't do much
here. My house hasn't been knocked
over by windstorm nor swept away
by a flood. The chances are 900 to
l that none Of us here in the District
vii be crushed by an earthquake or
blasted by an explosion. It's highly
unlikely that typhoid or yellow fever
or smallpox or dysentery is going to
attack us on q large scae."
One reply which the Red Cross can
make to this ungenerous thought is
that only so cents Of every membership
ontribution-whethe the contribu-
ton Is the usual 81 or whether it is
$50-goes to the national organization.
That means that If the current cam
paign attains its goal Of $4,000, the
share earmarked for relief services by
the national organization will be $32,-
500. At least that much and probably

how he got safely down to the ground
and we examined his wound. Besides
two cuts that started on his forehead
and ran the length of his head, he
had very large bump and a severe
headache that lasted all day.
He said that he had heard the hawk
coming while he was focusing the
camera. He dropped the camera,
which was tied around his neck and
looked up to see the hawk only a
foot away. He just had time to turn his
face down before the osprey struck. He
didn't remember how he got down the
tree, but he did seem to realize that
he must not let 60. for If he fell he
had long way to the ground.

being hit by q fish hawk had brought
some reward as well as discomfort,
although he resented Franks enthusi-
astic remark that it would have made
an even better picture If he could have
snapped Morgan falling out of the
tree. We went back up to the nest and
got our pictures, but we kept . wary
eye on the old hawk.
WE HAD seen what the old osprey
w would do when disturbed, so after
climbing down the tree we watched
from o distance to see what the hawks
would do when they were left in peace
to continue their domestic duties.
Scarcely q half-hour elapsed before
the male returned with a large fish.
He circled . number of times around
the nest before he finally settled on
the huge stick structure. He gave the
young bird bite or two for an appe-
tizer and then new away, leaving the
fish In the nest for the young osprey
to tear up.
The little osprey was at q stage
where he must learn to do things for
himself. A few more days and ne

CHICAGO, June 24.-Farmers in
the arid areas of the West, watching
farm commodity prices rise while crop
prospects waned, today faced continua-
tion of hot, dry weather.
Deeply concerned over the spread
OF the drought, they received more bad
news from meteorologists. Generally
fair and warmer conditions were fore
cast. Showers were regarded as prob
able only in the Northern Great Plains
section.
Market authorities cited the prevail
ing heat and lack of rain as the major
factor in the advance of agricultural
products to points at or near seasonal
price peaks.
July wheat at Chicago passed the
e5-cent mark yesterday. A year ago
the quotation was approximately 70
cents; a week ago, 81 cents. Novem-
Der butter was at the 31-cent level
yesterday, compared to 20 a week ago
and % a year back. The top on hogs
yesterday was $1050, up Is cents in
seven days and IS cents in a year.
No. red wheat, a grade superior to
the usual market variety and from a
new Indiana crop shipment, sold for
sl04 here yesterday.
The Federal Government stepped
into the emergency. Senator Bulow
of South Dakota said President Roose-
Welt and w. p A. Administrator Harry
Hopkins had approved a program of
W. P. A. employment, live stock loans
and direct relief for farmers whose
crops had failed In the Northwest.
The cost was estimated between $780,
100000 and 500, 100000.
