Individual Attention Assured to
Physically Ailing or
in Distress.
Washington. War service live •
years after the armiutlce, which on
November 11 the American Rod Cross
marks with the opening of the annual
membership canvass, shows that dur- j
Ing the past year assistance was ex
tended bv the Re' Cross to some 200,•
000 ex-service r. en or their fami
lies. To 130 hospitals throughout the
country approximately 75,000 ex-serv
ice men were admitted for treatment,
and to 63,296 of these men definite and.
specialized service was extended, the
Red Cross annual report discloses. In
all hospitals under government opera
tion a total of nearly 27,000 disabled.
veterans were reported by the Sur
geon General of the Army.
These facts of the aftermath of j
physical and metal disability five years '
after the World War, and tha burden .
resting upon the relatives and de- !
pendents of the ex-service men, show
conclusively the great need of the '
Red Cross to act as a supplementary |
arm sf the government in service to
these many thousands of men who
wore the uniform of the United States.
It should be emphasized that govern
ment assistance is necessarily stand
ardized along specified lines affecting
them as a whole. The Red Crass serv
ice Is to the individual man and the
solution of his problems. This the
Red Cross designates "home service"
for its aims to give the loving care
and interest of the hotne to these men
undergoing physical reconstitution
far from their actual home influences.
Year's Expenditures $5,866,258
In the year ended last June 30 the
Red Cross reports $3,920,000 spent by
its Chapters in extending individual
attention to the ex-service men and
$1,946,255 spent by National Head
quarters of the Red Cross, a total of
$5,866,25?) In behalf of the men called
to duty in the World War thg Red
Cross since July 1, 1917, has spent |
nearly $164,000,000.« Today there ar« j
2,608 Chapters in as many localities
carrying on this work, aiding the in
dividual veteran, assisting his family,
furnishing creature comforts and
funds to tide over troublesome periods.
The strong connecting link between
the Red Cross and the United States
Veterans' Bureau takes the complica
tions out of difficult cases of claims.
The Red Cross in this work requiring j
personal representation of the ex-serv
ice man has acted in appeal cases, in-1
surance matters, personal and family
problems, camp and hospital activi
ties, and in cases of death. Thiß serv
ice handled nearly 12,000 compensa- ■
tion and insurance claims, and 2,225
allotment and other claims.
Solve:, Serious Problem
The financial problem of the ex-senr«
ice man when traveling to and from
hospitals is a serious one, and in meet
ing this constant demand the Red
Cross expended $138,334.17 during the
year. For extra recreational equip
ment in Veterans' Bureau training
centers $14,308 waft spent, and for the
blinded veterans in the government
school funds were supplied to enable i
some of these unfortunate men to en
ter business as storekeepers and poul-l
try raisers.
In Veterans' Bureau hospitals thi|
record of a single month illustrates;
the large service rendered by the lied.
Cross. For example, 16,504 new cases
required attention, and a total of 26,-1>
007 cases were acted upon; 49,368 let
ters and 1,863 telegraph messages
written, and more than 1,600 enter
tainments given in recreation houses
for the benefit of the patients.
Authorities declare that the pres- 1
ent Is a critical time in the lives of
many of the disabled ex-service men
who during the fire years since the
armistice have developed misgivings;
of recovery.
Work Among the "Regulars"
Service to the enlisted men of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corns is a
charter obligation of the Red Cross,
which In the last year recorded over
200,000 cases of assistance extended
and 834,420 visits to the sick and dis
abled. Inquiries by the Red Cross at
the request of Government authori
ties Into the home conditions of sol
diers, sailors and marines aggregated
17,714. and there were tu-rly 1,000
Instances where the Red Gross locat
ed men for their families.
All these activities constituting a
single responsibility of the American

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
j year thai its "war service" In "Behalf

i out stint of funds The work of the
| last five years has welded a close
j bond of regard between the men who
I sacrificed and the Red Cross, whose
efforts are praised and indorsed by
the veterans' organizations. To do
all that can be done to soften the con
sequences of the hard blows of war
Is the supreme duty of the Red Cross,
to which It is giving its best work and
most liberal service.
Fishes Are Good Bmellers.
Fishes possess a keen faculty oi
smelling. Examination of the nostrils
of a fish reveals the fact that they are
not connected with the nlr tube sys
tem, as In most animals, but lead Into
blind pockets lined with delicate mem
] branes well supplied with nerves. In
fishes, water Is not drawn through the
nostrils but merely into the small
pockets, and these may be emptied
i and refilled. The quantity of water
brought Into contact with the nerves
' of smell must be com] aratlvely small.
In some few fishes, as In the globe
fishes and puffers, for example, there
Is no nasal pocket, the nerves being
directed Into external projections.
Much to Be Thankful For.
There Is much in human life to be
thankful for, as well as much to dis
tress—mercies as well as afflictions,
I heroism as well as cowardice, and
abundant Justification for faith and
I hope. Nothing will contribute so
| much to progress, to a lightening "of
I the burden of tiie mystery" as a faith
ful, uncomplaining and cheerful per
formance of the ordinary dally duties
and a co-operating interest In the
I "concerns of the particular hearth and
home," a lesson which some of the
1 greatest philosophers were, and are,
i alow to take to heart.
The Grande Chartreuse.
The Grande Chartreuse was the origi
nal monastery of the Carthusians, j
founded In 1804. It is situated among j
the mountains In'the French department |
of Isere, about fourteen miles northeast |
of Grenoble, and is famous for an 1
aromatic cordial made by the monks,
the secret of which they have long pos
sessed. The monastery was despoiled
during the French revolution, and the
Inmates exiled from 1706 to 1810. They
returned after the restoration of Louis
XVin (1814), but never recovered their
former wealth and influence.
81 r Roger de Ceverley.
The name Is that of a member of an
Imaginary club, under whose auspices
the Spectator was supposed to be ed
ited. Sir Roger Is the type of an Eng
lish gentleman of the time of Queen
Anne (1702-1714), and figures in thirty
papers of the Spectator. He is noted
for his modesty, generosity and hospl- j
tallty. The name Sir Roger de Cover-
ley was also given to a dance, similar i
to the Virginia reel, and supposed to j
have been the original of It. The title
Is derived from the English squire de
scribed in the Spectator.
Friction Matches.
Friction matches first came into use
In 1833, and as late as 1850 were re-j
gnrded as too dangerous to be trans
ported by rail. The first sulphur
matches put on the market came in
square blocks of wood spilt well down,
from which individual matches might
be broken. When ignited, a most offen
sive sulphur odor arose. The first In
dividual matolies, put up In small boxes,
were lmpbrted from Sweden In the
enrly eighties, and were n great Im
provement over the old sulphur match.
Power In Kilowatt-Hour.
The following figures, compiled by
French officials, are worth attention:
One kllownt-hour of electrical energy
will drive a sewing machine for 20
hours; clean 15 steel 'able knives for
a year; clip !5 horses or 25 sheep; heal
water for shaving for one month; light
.'J cigars a day for 5 years; heat a fiat
iron for 3 hours; boll 2.37 gallons of
water; fry 15 chops In 15 minutes;
heat a curling Iron for 20 mornings;
incubate 256 eggs; milk 20 cows; sepa
rate 350 gallons of milk; churn 440
pounds of butter; chop half a ton of
straw. Assuming these Items to be
approximately correct, one-third should
be added to each In computing the
work of a horsepower-hour.—Com
passed Air Magazine.
"Roland for an Oliver.'*
The expression, "A Roland for an
Oliver," meaning a retort for retort,
or the matching of one Incredible lie
with another, Is derived from the fan
ciful tales told by the old chroniclers
concerning the marvelous deeds of Ro
land and Oliver, the two most famous
of the twelve paladins of Charle
magne, says the Detroit News. These
redoubtable heroes were so evenly
matched that neither was able to sur
pass the other; and accordingly, to
test their relative superiority, tliey
met in single combat and fought for
five successive days on an Island In
the Rhine, without either gaining the
least advantage over the other.

CHINA SEES HEALTH VALUE
American Child Association Aims to
Put Welfare of Children on
Higher Plane.
China has been awakened to a now
health consciousness, according to a
letter from John B. Grant, associate
professor of hygiene and public health
of the Peking Union Medical college,
China, to Miss Sally Lucas Jean, di
rector of health education for the
American Child Health association.
"The work in China Is growing along
the lines of health education," writes
Prof. Grant. "There are four insti
tutes at separate geographical centers
for the training of teachers in health
work. In addition. Union Medical
college Is giving a one month's course,
the aim of which is to give adminis
trative educators a clearer viewpoint
about health education.
"Also, we have worked out a curric
ulum of some 3,200 hours for the
training of teachers In n >rmal schools.
It Is yet too early to state how soon
we will be able to put the latter Into
practice In teachers' colleges, al hough
the department of education In Shang
hai college and the Y. \V. C. A. school
of physical education, also In Shang
hai, will attempt this year to levelop
courses along the health lines we have
suggested."
Prof. Grant has received and Is dis
tributing literature on child health
from the American Child Health asso
ciation, whose i lrw lire to put the
