FORSEE SIX DISASTERS
.
Red Cross Predicts 1911 Mill HaTe
Several "Horrors."
Washington, Dec. 27 (Special)
Six big disasters will occur -In the
United States In 1911. This Is not
the prediction of an astrologer, but
the American Red CrosB Society.
Experience has . taught the Red
Cross to expect on an average of five
or six big disasters In this country
each year. It does not uidertake ' to
say when or where they will occur
or whether they will be caused .by
storm, fire, flood, earthquake or ex
plosion, but It is sure they will come:
Experience proves not only that an
average of five or six disasters, -severe
enough to call aid from the Red
Cross, may , be expected every year
In the United States,, but the demands
from foreign countries are predicted
to fee much more numerous. '
Sdtoe Idea of the character and va
riety of the disasters with which the
Red Cross deals is given In the review
of those which demanded attention
during the last 12 months.
They include in the United States:
one hurricane, one mine fire, two mine
explosions and forest iflres in Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Washington and
Minnesota. Foreign calamatles, de
manding aid from the Red Cross dn
cluded: floods in MexicoJ. France,
Servla and Japan, the Armenian mas
sacres; the earthquake in Costa Rica
and the relief of the starring soldiers
of Nicaragua. '
In the disasters which occurred in
the United States 506 lives were lost,
while, approximately 7,500 persons
lost their homes by fire or hurricane.
The Red Cross expended 196,000 for
relief operation's In the United States
and In foreign countries $G6,500 was
spent, making a total of $262,500. Oth
er relief funds expended in this coun
try in conjunction with those of the
Red Cross amounted in this country
in conjunction with those of the Red
Cross amounted to $218,600 making
the grand total of relief expenditures
for the year under Red Cross leader
ship, $480,800.

The South Trail Pioneers.
Out to the Western Ocean!
On to the Sunset Sea!
Our Pioneers came trooping,
Claimed this land for you and me.
For the Frontier God has called them;
On their foreheads while they slept,
He had pressed the seal of Conquest,
And across their spirits crept.
Visions of the distant ranges
Hugging close their precious ores;
Melody of Mighty Forests,
Vivid picturing of shores;
Where great treasure tpast all longing
Waited them who'd take the trail
Fearless of the dangers thronging
That would make their tragic tale.
For the Old South Trail Is bordered
With the Ladies of the Dead,
Who with recklessness had followed
Where the bold frontiersmen led.
They were chosen from the many;
Fearless ones they were, and true,
And the work they did was worthy
Was the work that heroes do.
On they came through storm and
sunshine.
Through the stifling, choking dust;
For they had a land to conquer;
And they kept their holy trust.
I can see their camplires twinkle;
Hear the lone coyotes call;
As that caravan came creeping
To this Last Great West of all.
Slowly came the creaking wagons;
Steadily without delay ;x
Till they reached the Western Ocean
Where the Sunset glories play.
Often now In silent midnight
When the Summer fades to Fall,
You may see that specter caravan
Where ( the moonlight shadows
crawl.
You may see their campflres twinkle;
You may hear their voices call,
For their spirits still are sweeping
Toward the Last Great West of all.

Woman Gets What She Wants.
Washington Post: Of course, a wo
man gets what she wants, despite the
protests of some of the more "ad
vanced" of her sex against the tyran
nies of the monster, man. But that
she hasn't long ago taken her place
on equal terms In politics and else
where is merely because as a class
she has not wanted to. Should she
persist in asserting her rights to drink
and smoke and vote, just like her
husband, no doubt she will gain her
point: But when that time comes it
will be opportune to repeat a toast
made In the early days of the suffrage
movement: "The ladles one our
superiors, now our equals".
