WHERE EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS IF AN EVIL GENIUS attended the first six months of the current year, which were marked by more disasterthan have occurred during any similar period in the annals of the orgaiI ration, he met an able ffnd willing fc'B opponent in the Red Cross. Wherever thdre was fire, flood, famine or pestilence, there was the Red Cross, carrying help to the victims. The death toll has not been compiled, but it is said to be very large. In thirty-five localities, according to statistics complied at national headquarters of the Red Cross-, there were floods, tornadoes explosions, fires and epidemics, while abroad there were several earthquakes, all of.,.which called for $200,000 from the National Red Cross treasury. 'Additional funds were contributed by local chapters and individuals, the aggregate from these sources exceeding the amount sent out from the headquarters. According to reports appearing in the press. "The Red Cross is still Carrying out an extensive work of relief and reconstructionjmony the victims of the Lorain tornado of June 28. Nearly $500,000 has been raised and more money is in sight for the reestablishment of the stricken Ohio territory and its people. Forty trained Red Cross workers are covering the entire tornado area and attending to every L emergency need of the inhabitants. "The disaster in Ohio caused the most wide-spread destruction of any f listed by the Red Cross this year, although other calamities of the half - year have recorded greater deathlists. Relief activities of the Red Cross were almost wholly confined to the United States, excerrt-for aitKtn sufferers from earthquakes in Ecuador, Costa Rica and Columbia and relief of famine sufferers in Albania." People hear cf disasters, but not nlwav? of measures taken for tV relief of their victims. Here, we read, is a list of calamities in which the Red Cross announces it interfered on behalf of humanity: "Tornadoes?Chatham County, X. C.; Martin County, X.

Coolidge is toTd that Ohio, Iowa and Kansas are already his. Davis is told that with the South and New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW. Lr. Follctte's followers say they have "twenty-five States sure." Tiit "rosy5 aays are pleasant, only l en. .i .? ure to be disappointed. The Government has ordered a group of flying machines that can trave. through the air, on the water and on land. Only one step remains, the amphibian and submersible flying machine pulling in its wings and becoming & submarine. That will come also. John R. Voorhis, oldest officeholder* aged ninety-five, predicts a woman President. She will come, but not in fifty years. Many women in the United States would make Presidents better than any, with two exceptions, since Thomas Jefferson.' But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, will take a lone time to get over his SUPERIORITY COMPLEX. ,Men of low intelligence sincerely ' . _ believe that they are in some mysterious way woman's superior, and such men decide Presidential elections. If a woman becomes President ' before 1980, it will be through promotion .of a Vice-President. That i? might happen within a generation. The world really is becoming a small place.

The North Carolina and Ohio tornadoes called out the new mobile disaster relief unit recently organized by the American Red Cross, which responded at once with trained disss-jter relief administrators and workers | and applied relief immediately where ^ 'calls were most urgent. ] "Another noteworthy phase of this * year's disaster record is the fact that localities not commonly subject to nature's wrath have been visited by 1 1 calamity. Most of the disasters occur'red east of the Mississippi." No matter how numerous or how r far-flung are the demands, observes c -the Pittsburgh Gazette Times, the Red Cross responds; it meats the emer- I gency. And "Its service is the greater, too, because its personnel knows ' what- to do and how to go about it with the least cxDenditure of time and money." Indeed: "The community which needs the aid of the Red Cross gets 100 centof value for every dollar expended. Giving relief is the business of th? i Red Cross and it never fails to do what is pecessary and the situation requires. None other -is so well able to 'appreciate its. incalculable value as those to whom in disaster it has administered." -O. t Industrial organizations are begin ning to realize the benefits froir Credrt Unions, reports A. V. Anderson of the Division of Markets of the State College and Department of Agriculture.

Earnest preachers declared that j God WAITED us to suffer and it was a sin to thwart His divine will. Joseph Greenberg, 6f New York, will return to his home with new knowledge of this country and greater respect for the size of < Texas. He left Brooklyn in a little automobile to bring his son back from "somewhere in Texas," and told his wife he would be gone "about three days." He will be surprised to' find it will take him ^bout as long to cross Texas as to cross all the rest of the American continent.
