The problem of the nationality of the
wife was discussed several time* during
the last session of Parliament and will

expected q final decision will be made as
to whether the wife retains her nation

take steps to have a bill passed allow
ing all married women to adopt English
nationality at once, but prohibiting oth

Sinoke Nuisances in Cities Again Receiv
ing Attention.
Washington. Oct. 29. —Smoke nui
sance in cities is again receiving the at
tention of civic authorities ami organi
zations in their campaign for its elimi
nation. reports to the Interior Depart
ment indicate. The campaign was sus
pended during the war. when most of
the country's smoke ordinances were
held in abeyance to allow industries to
operate unrestrictedly when maximum
production wa« necessary. With the
return of normal conditions many cities
have shown a detenuiuati >n to take up
this matter seriously and work out a
solution.
Residence sinoke, while making prob
ably less than 10 per cent, of the total
sinoke of a city. Is particularly objec
tionable because it is produced in the
section where its damaging possibilities
are at a maximum. Such smoke has a
serious paltrologieal aspect in addition
to its destructive effect on property.-
Auofe lung diseases, such as pneumonia,
bronchitis, and pleurisy, are affected by
the corrosive fumes to a marked de
gree. Investigators agree that there is
a direct relation between a heavy smoke
laden atmosphere ami the morbidity of
the population: moreover, it tends to
lower efficiency and increases crime ami
suicide.
A New York paper, after commending
lVesident t’oolidge’s address on prohibit
tion enforcement, quotes some words of
its own as applied to the situation
existing in January. 1921. and adds:
"Every word of it remains true today.
And today the conditions are even more
serious than they* were then. The be
lief*. cherished in the lirst days of pro
hibition. that the liquor traffic would
subside when the old stocks of booze
were drunk up has proved to be a de
lusion. Bootlegging i> on a tinner foot
ing than it was three years ago.”
Bishop Baulinus. of Nolu. in Campina.
is said to have been the first to recog
nize the value of bclL as a signal for
.summoning congregations to church.
Baulinus. ii is stated, was annoyed at
the excuses offered by his congregations
fer not being prompt.

Recovery From Disturbance of Calamity
Tests Relief Services of Red Cross

§A£JN6 PROPERTY ON THE EDGE OF A GREAT FIRE WHILE RED CROSS WORKERS SERVE
THE INJURED AND HOMELESS
Washington. “Japan’s earth
quake calamity, with Us toll of
103,000 dead, 125,000 injured, 235,-
000 missing and more than 2,000,-
000 homeless, will affect the equi
librium of the people of the empire
for a long period,” says Judge John
Barton Payne, chairman of the
American Red Cross. "The after
effect of disaster is far-reaching in
its disturbing Influences, which
persons at a distance cannot visu
alise, however deeply they are
moved to. svmpathetlc action by
first reports of extensive loss of
life and property,” he added. "Tlje
munificence of America in giving
two-fold for Japan’s, relief was
characteristic of our people and
it serves to point out the lesson
learned by the Disaster Relief Ser
vice of the Red Cross that the first
estimates of destruction generally
err on the side of conservatism.”
As an example of the long period
of recovery which follows disaster
Judge Payne cited the forest fires
In Minnesota. Many of the persons
injured and impoverished in Octo
her, 1818, ere receiving relief from
the Red Cross Chapter at Duluth
today—four years after that disas
ter. The operations undertaken by
the Red Cross to rescue and relieve
the victims in this instance also
had a happy contributing result, for
these activities led to the establish
ing of the Forest Fire Commission
by Minnesota, empowered to pro
tect the State’s great forest re
serves.
The 110 disasters in the United
States during the year ended June
30, according to the annual report
of the American Red Cross, result
ed in 240 deaths, 991 persons in
jured, and property losses estimat
ed at $20,710,000. The record
shows nearly every section of the
country had its disaster, from
Maine to California, and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
The victims sheltered, fed and
clothed by the Red Cross numbered
nearly 20,000. In the recent $lO,-
000,000 fire which destroyed a large
part of the residential section of
Berkeley, Cal., pictured above, ef
fective emergency service was
.given by hundreds of University of
Tleaday, October 3®, 1923
California students, who were
quickly organized by Red Cross
workers into safety battalions and
did much to minimize loss of prop
erty and human suffering.
Disaster relief will ever be a
foremost duty of the American Red
Cross, Judge Payne points out, for
calamity comes without warning,
and the Red Cross must success
fully meet the test of readiness for
immediate relief operations wher
ever the call for services arises.
"The American Red Cross is the
outward expression, coined into
action, of the hearts of the Ameri
can people,” says Judge Payne,
who expresses confidence in the
success of the membership Roll
Call opening Armistice Day, No
vember 11, and bespeaks his belief
that the,Red Cross would In this
year’s campaign maintain its nu
merical strength and recruit many
thousands of new members among
persons who had come to realise
through recent world-stirring ca
lamity that the Red Cross Usust -'
carry on in peace time as promptly- j
and effectually as in time of war.
