How ever, now and then the lied Crosa and its generosity is made tho ob ject of persons without principle. A case last week set an example when a young woman, who claimed her home was in Chfco. Col., call edt at the lied Cross nnd told MUw Huberts a story of misfortune, how fhe was traveling alone In an au tomobile to join relatives In Chico. She hud a small hnhy In arm, t he father of which she cloimi'd had deserted her. leaving her alone in the world with no mm to whom she could turn fur aid with tho exception of charity. Ml t8 Roberts listened to her slory dry-eyed, havlnp heard others of the same order, and casually inquired how far her auto traveled to n gallon of tiaaoline. Unhesi tatingly, the young women replied (hut 40 miles was the utmal aver age.

Work Sought, Traveling in an automobile, on which tit ere was Mtltl an unpaid balance of $300, a transient family arrived In Medford last week und immediately applied for aid at tlie Red Cr'jtm upun their arrival, in the city. The husband claimed ho was an cx-aervlce man, a resident of Oakland, Cal., and had attempt ed to locale employment nil the way from Oakland to -.Long view, Wash. He was returning to Oak land upon arriving here. They left their home, a father, a mother, and five children, lu the faint hope uf finding better con ditions north, and departed in the thought if no work could be found, an Interesting pleaturc trip would at least be enjoyed. Upon being unsuccessful In Long view, charity; provided sufficient gasoline loj Journey to Htayton, where tliey re-J reived more gasoline, which look j them to Kugenc. At Kugene they: located more gun. and soon the family found itself In Itoseburg, small children were applicants for charily late last year, she eauuiii a ride from Kugene to firnnls l'a.s and t here wus misinformed that lted lllaff was a comparatively .short distance away. Willi her Iwo children she set out afoot, Imi upon reaching Medford. the Red Cross supplied her with funds to buy a ticket back lo Kugene. f The transient situation represents only a port ion of l he Red t 'ross work, which Includes charity for a number of resident families who havo been listed for years, and for families who were once of means but have heroine poverty stricken through unforeseen cir cumstances. They still have pride and thch' names are known to only a chosen few. There are only five such families and are mostly old i couple, deserted by friends and kin, or too proud to call upon them I for aid. I The Red Cross is doing a won derful work in Jackson county and . those who contributed money In the annual drive can feel Justified they urn part of a great system to bring Joy, food and often health to the unfortunate.
