Six Foreign Countries Receive Red Cross Aid Relief was given by the American Red Cross during the year in six for eign nations in disasters ranging from a tidal wave in Newfoundland, an earthquake in Persia, floods in France, to help the refugees from Russia and prevention of a smallpox epidemic-in Costa Rica. The $5,000 Red Cross contribution to Newfoundland, following the tidal wave, which took twenty-six lives and destroyed many homes and fishing boats, was the first from an outside country to reach the distressed people. The sum of $5,000 was given to the fund for the relief of the Mennonite refugees of German descent, who had determined to leave Russia for new lands. About 13,000 passed through Germany, where the German Red Cross, aided by Red Cross societies of other nations, helped them. The ma jority are being transported to new countries in the western world and I the American Red Cross has transmit ted contributions from individuals in this country. When Costa Rica was menaced by a smallpox epidemic, the American Red Cross sent fifty thousand tubes of vaccine, in two airplane loads, un doubtedly saving the country from a serious outbreak of the dread disease.

Put up in attractively sealed and labeled glasses and jars, jamB and jellies will make inexpen sive and deeply appreciated Christ mas gifts for friends and relatives when the Yule season rolls around. A few juniper berries, obtainable at the drug store, placed in a fry ing pan that has been heated until very hot, will release aromatic fumes which will quickly drive the odor of cooking out of the house. Saving Mothers and Babies Is Important Red Cross Task Saving mothers' lives and better ba bies were important features during the past year of the Public Health Nursing Service of the American Red Cross. About four-fifths of the 794 nurses in the Red Cross work made more than 100,000 prenatal and mater nity visits, in addition to assisting doctors in the examination of 1,309,409 school children. Statistics reveal that the lives of two out of three Ameri^ia. women who die in maternity cases could be saved if they received proper medical and nursing care. As more than 15,000 women die in the United States each year from various diseases of the ma ternal state, this means that more than 10,000 of these deaths are pre ventable. Comfort Kits Sent 40,000 Service Men by Red Cross Gay patterned cretonne bags, or comfort kits, containing articles use ful and amusing, are sent by the Red Cross to 40,000 soldiers,' sailors and Marines, on foreign service, as Christ mas remembrances. The little gift bags are donated and packed by women in Red Cross Chap ters all over the country. They are despatched by Army transport in the early autumn in order to reach the foreign ports and posts of the U. S services in time to be hung on the Christmas trees. Giving the remem brances from home is the outgrowth of a plan adopted by the Red Cross prior to the World War when ao mans National Guard regiments were 01 the Mexican border.
