The explosion happened at noon on Sep tember 16. Red Cross ambulance units with those of downtown hospi tals and the police department, were on the scene in time for first aid work. But the principal activity of the Red Cross was to assist the hospi tals to which the Injured were taken. Before the afternoon had passed 92 nurses had gone to aid the regular forces at the Broad street and Volun teer hospitals. Eighteen Red Cross field directors assisted In hospitals and in compiling and furnishing in formation concerning dead and injur ed. I-arge quantities of hospital sup plies and apparatus were furbished, as well as food. Three ambalances and two trucks were on duty, and through the Red Crbss social service the matter of getting in touch with the families of victims was competently handled. Tha Rad Cross Remembers Ever since demobilization the Red Cross has kept in constant touch with the families of 800,000 soldiers and sail ors and marines. This service has embraced almost everything fram sup plying first aid to seeing a man through to a better Job than he ever had before. Disaster Comes. Last year in the United States, the Red Cross aided more than 30,000 victims of flood, fire, tornado or other unavoidable disaster in 150 stricken communities. When SERVICE any time or place. L. L.
