For Current Year.
NEW DISASTER RELIEF PLAN-
Continuance of Heavy Work Abroad
Doomed Necessary to Protect
United State**—s2l ,ooo,ooo
Less Than Laat Year.
A program of fellef ami service to
ward which appropriations of $48,-
200,000 bave been made.lias been out
lined for the American Rod Cross for
the fiscal year, July 1, I91">, to Juiy 1,
1921, according to otticlal announce
ment by national headquarters of the
organisation at Wqshlngtc n. The fig
urea for 1920-21 are $2J,0"0.000 below
those of 1919-20, In which $(31),400,000
was spent.
Important among the lt»ms of the
budget for the present year Is the ap
propriation of $31,600,000 tor relief In
foreign lands, which Includes $11,000,-
000 In purchased supplies on hand and
not distributed.
Must Protect United "State*.
This will enable the American Red
Cross to continue Its humanitarian ef
fort to aid stricken peoples to re-estab
lish themselves, to fight the disease epi
demics whlcb threaten many countries
and to efface largely the remaining
traces of the blight left by the World
War. It la regarded as social as well
as physical sanitation on z lurge scale
that will bave a direct bearing on to
ture conditions In America.
Central Europe, the chief sufferer
from tho conflict, today la facing an
other winter of famine, pestilence and
ruin. Typhus decreased much during
the summer months where last winter
It had its greatest stronghold, but phy
sicians who Investigated the situation
at the behest of the League of Red
Cross Societies have given their un
qualified opinion that this coming win
ter will see a recurrence on an un
precedented seals. The Red Cross
feels It must continue preventive meas
ures abroad to keep this and other
deadly maladlea from the United
Btatei.
Millions tor Work at Home.
When the disease was sweeping Cen
tral Europe Inst winter the American
Red Cross, with the aid of the govern
ments of afflicted natlona, undertook the
fight agalnat It Hospitals were estab
lished wherever possible and food and
clothing were distributed to the un
dernourished populations, who by rea
son of their undernourishment, .were
easy prey to the epidemics.
disorganization contributed last year
to the great Inroads made by the dis
ease. by virtue of Its knowledge of the
disease and the presence of well es
tablished hospital centers, the Ameri
can Red Cress this year will undertake
the work with a new confidence.
Including the total of $11,000,000 In
supplies left from Ibe last fiscal'year,
the $31,500,000 Is $21,000,000 less than
the expenditures for 1919-20.
Appropriations for domestic activi
ties total $16,700,000.
The largest item of thla "home"
budget Is $7,800,000 for civilian relief
work. This Includes service and as
sistance for families of soldiers, sail
ors and marines, and work incidental
to disaster. Of the total approprlai
tlon for clv Ulan relief, $5,000,000 la
held In reserve for the carrying ont of
actual disaster relief.
Reduced Overhead Expense.
The Bed Cress Invariably Is the first
thought of a community visited by ca
In ml ty. With this In mind. It was ie
icrnilned by the Executive Committee
In preparing the budget of 1919-20 to
have a fixed reserve fund from which
to draw In these Instances.
For assistance' to soldiers, sailor*
nad marines In hospitals and In camps
I his year $1,900,000 has been set aside.
Four million two hundrel thousand
dollars has been appropriated for Im
provement ,of health and prevention
lof disease throughout the United
SHtes during the current twelve
months. The Red Cross Is co-operat
ing fully with the United States Health
Service In this work and through tts
Junior Red Cross Is doing much to
spread among children the principles
of sanitation. An appropriation of sl,-
000,000 hus been made for developing
the peace time program of the Red
Cross by service to Its chapters In all
regions.
The appropriation of $48,200,000 Is
exclusive of the local expenditures of
the 3.000 or more chapters.
Administration expenses this year
will be 51,800,000. Last year they
were $2,800,000.

Magnificent Temples and Palace* A
In Land of Cambodia. J
In the jungles of Camhodk,'
where the monkeys chatter audi
swing from the. knotted vines, and
the snake sheds his skin an the mar
ble steps high over the stagnant
pool, where parrakeets hang like
jewels in the trees and tigers glide
by with muffled step, stand tem
ples, long forgotten, palaces, moats,
gates and walls, with stones,
wrenched apart by the violent utge
of the tropic trees and vines, says
a writer in Asia Magazine. Onoe
kings stepped forth, hung with jew
els and robed in glittering fabrics,
to mount their elephants and go
a-hunting; once damsels danced age
old steps before the altars of the
gods, and simpler folk went about
their household tasks as simpler folk
have always done. For abput 600
years Cambodia was the center of a
brilliant civilization; after that, a
land of savage tribes, forgetful of
the great past. Today'this country,
now a province of French Indo-
China, is forsaken save by occasional
half-naked priests', who climb the
great palms to tap the upper leaves
for sugar-water, or pause to grin at
their own reflections in the pools
when they are tired of staring, un
comprehending, at the forms that;
decorate the temple wallß.
BUY WIVES ON EASY TERMS
Installment Plan' of Purchasing Part
ner of Man's Joys and Sorrows
Is Favored In Albania.
Albania, so far as I nm aware,
is the only country where you can
buy a wife on the installment plan.
It is quite true that there are
plenty of countries wi«4e women
can be purchased—in Circassia, for,
example; and in China, and in the
Solomon group—but in those places
the prospective bridegroom is com
pelled to pay down the purchase
price in cash, not being afforded the
convenience of opening an account.
In Albania, however, such things
are better done, a partial payment
on the purchase priee of the girl be
ing. paid to her parents when the
engagement takes place, after
which she is no longer offered for
sale, but set aside, like an article
on which a deposit has been made,
until the final installment has been
paid, when she is delivered to her
future husband.—E. Alexander
Powell, in Scribner's Magazine.
BILL YELLED.
Bill Freeman of Broadway is Six
or seven years old. His parents,
leaving home for a short time, noti
fied friendly neighbors that Bill
would be their guest for an hour or
so. Then they sent him off with
instructions to push the button on
the neighbor's door. Bill pushed
the button several times and got no
response. Then he noticed the let
ters Y'A-L»-E on the door lock. He
began to yell and the folks came
and let him in. Asked why he
was making so much noise, he said
he saw the sign on the door to
yelll—lndianapolis News.
The term "underground railway*
means just what it says, according
to one Indiana teacher. This teacher
recently gave the following answer
on an »
"This underground railway wm a
road built under the ground from
the South into Canada. Hie poor
slaves would follow this road and
it would take them into Canada
and here they were free and the
southern owners could not get hold
of than any more. There were
places made along to get their food
on their way to keep them from
starring to death on the way."
MACHINE FOR RIPPLING FLAX.
Rippling flax is different from
thrashing grain for the jeason that
the straw is the valuable part and
it must not be dajpagcd by any
treatment. That is the reason why
the work has always been done by
hand, bat the Canadian government
is experimenting with a
which is said to perform this task
as well as when done by hand.
