RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. S,
Thousands Aided by Instruction
In Care of the Sick, Food Se
lection and First Aid.
How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health Is
shown In a summary of the society's
activities In the health field based
upon the annual report for the last fis
cal year. Through Its Nursing Service,
Its Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick courses, nutrition classes, First
Air classes, Life-Saving classes and
Health Centers and In numerous other
ways designed to acquaint masses of
citizens with proper methods of living,
the Red Cross carried Its message of
health Into all parts of the country.
The work of the Hed Cross during
the war In Its traditional field of nurs
ing, furnishing tho military and naval
establishments of the nation with 10,
877 nurses, is well known. Anil there
are today 157,787 nurses registered with
the American lied Cross and subject
to call In emergency. During the fis
cal year, 1,551 lied Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 'SSS by the Army and
Navy and 1,53 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the lted Cross for Government serv
ice, the lted Cross itself employed a
total of 1,'MH public health nurses In
the United States and Europe. By far
the greatest number was employed la,
the United States, 1,257, while 81 were
In foreign service.
Home Hygiene and Cnre of the Sick
classes, giving thorough Instruction In
the proper care of the sick In Instances
where the Illness is not so serious as to
require professional nursing care, dur
ing the fiscal year numbered 5,179. A
statistical picture of the lied Cross
operations In this field follows:

In the proper selection und prepara
tion of foods. .
Through its 2110 Health Centers, the ;
Red Cross reached 1111,252 persons. In
these Health Centers, 1,015 health lee- j
lures were given and 780 health ex
hibits held. j
rti the United States Inst year, 7.",
432 persons were killed and 3,500,000
injured In Industrial accidents. To I
lrevent tills iiiormous waste the Hed '
Cross held 5,100 first aid classes with
a total of 1(4,(XH) students enrolled.
RED CROSS RESCUED
600,000 FROM DEATH
Spent $1,200,000 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.
To help overcome conditions of acuta
distress In live famine stricken prov
inces of Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage of food, the
American lied Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than tsl.2oo.inii,
l.iHiii.oOO of which was contributed dl
reety by National I ienihimirte' s and
Ihe remainder by var.ous groups 'n
terested In the welfare of China.
Through the wide relict' operations
thus made possible it is estimated that
nuiiv than l!.K,iK famine s.ili'e'.ers
weii' saved fioni starvation.

Koll Call. November 11 to 21.
The method of relief employed by
the American Ked Cross lu Its opera
lions In Chirm was particularly riVee
tive, for In addition to saving hundreds
of thousands of lives it provided China
with more than IHH miles of permanent
roads that arv sorely needed to pre
vent a recurrence of famine. At one
time the Ked Cross employed 71.IKH)
Chinese workmen, paying them In food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought In from Manchuria
and elsewhere.

850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 Re
lief When 65,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three disasters, resulting In
the death In the United States of 850
persons and the injury of 2,500 called
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
American Hed Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1021, says an
announcement based upon the forth
coming annual report of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam
age estimated at $30,000,000, affected
sixty-seven Communities and rendered
65,000 families homeless.
The year's disasters were of vary
ing types, including several which pre
viously had never been thought of
as fulling within that classifica
tion. The Red Cross furnished
relief In seventeen fires of magnitude,
five floods, seven tornadoes or cy
clones, one devastating storm, three
explosions, including the one in Wull
street; one building accident, tvvj
typhoid epidemics, the most serious be
ing that at Salem, Ohio, which af
fected !) per cent of the population;
one smallpox epidemic, In the republic
of Haiti ; one train wreck, the race riot
at Tulsa, Okla. ; the famine In China,
emergency relief in famine among the
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague in North Dakota and ay earth
quake In Italy.
Pueblo Most Serious
Ily far t lie most severe of the dis
asters In the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re
port was the Pueblo flood early In
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
In recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
Natlonnl Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief" work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre
ciating the long and successful experi
ence of the Red Cross In organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility for the administra
tion of relief In Its hands.
In response to appeals from Presi
dent Harding, Governor Shoup anil
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organiza
tions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re
habilitation to more than $325,000.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters is a matter of record.
More than 2, .100 homes were affected
and 7. 351 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $."it tt 1,1 u as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross ollicials in charge of th"
relief work. )
Fast Work In Wall Street
The Wall street explosion wns nota
ble In that relief workers of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique In
disaster relief annals In that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con
tributed' by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con
sisted of the service of social work
ers, nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
In directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre
vious year, only one tornado assumed ,
the proportions of u major disaster.
This occurred on ApriV lf, in the bor- I
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkann as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work wuk the fact that
It covered so intieli rural territory ns
to niiike necessary a large number of
relief workers. I
The famine In China, m-cessitatlng
relief expenditures totallim: more than
JI.HUVOOtl by the American Ked Cross
was by far the most serious of the
fon-lgn disasters m which t'.ie Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In ennecien with the m.tnin'strn
tbm of disaster relief measures, an In
creasing etl'ei" IV eness oil t ie part of
the Ked Cross to deal ivi',1 emergen
