$1,441,486 A YEAR’S DISASTER RELIEF GOST Red Cross Aided 145,000 Victims in United States—Losses Total $30,000,000. Seventy-two dlaastera, with hundreds reported killed aud Injured, and more than 145.000 either homeleaa or requiring asaiatauco, railed for emergency relief measure! and the expenditure of 51,441,486 36 by tlip American Red Croat during the Steal year ending June 30. 1822, accordfug to a statement based on the forthcoming annual report of the Red Cross. The greatett toll of life was taken by hurricane and tornado, while the overflowing of rivers, the breaking of dams and torrential rains drove the greatest number of people from their homes. The property loss wus estimated at more than $30,OUO.OOO. The year’s disasters reported Included twenty-six floods, nineteen tornadoes, fifteen fires, four epidemics, two theatre collapses, two shipwrecks (one au airship), and a bridge collapse, mine explosion, railway colliHon, and a drought. Os the floods In the United States that at San Antonio, Texas, caused the greatest property loss, $6,000,000 and the high mark of fatalities, 100. while the flood in the vicinity of Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss., forced 31,000 persons from their homes. A National Calamity In the Red Cross disaster relief records there will probably remain for many years one calamity which touched nearly every state with a sense of horror and of loss. This was the distressing collapse of the roof of the Knickerbocker Theatre In Washington, D. C, resulting In nine-ty-six deaths and 125 persons Injured. Situated in the center of the beautiful Northwest residential section, this motion plctura theatre was patronized by many persons of prominence both in the official and civil life of the National Capital, whose family and personal connections radiated out over the entire country. The horror was intensified by a terrific snowstorm which, though It retarded, did not block Red Cross relief. Airship Crash Finds Aid at Hand The crash and destruction of the U. S. Army's large airship Roma in Virginia last February with the loss of 34 officers and men and 11 injured was the first disaster of Its kind to call for Red Cross relief In this country. The suddenness of the accident tested the preparedness of the organization and of the Chapter at Hampton. Va., but the response was Immediate and relief furnished the survivors, also funds for the expenses of relatives of the dead, who came from long distances to claim their own. In the year’s oversea record for aid 1 rendered by the Red Cross are two I tires in the Philippines, one In Manila, I which destroyed 1,000 homes, with a ! loss of $1,500,000 and 5,000 persons . made homeless, the other at Tonlo, which drove 3,000 from their dwellings. In medical relief that was quick and effective the smallpox epidemic in San Domingo, which had a total of 22,000 cases with 225 deaths In a single day, tested the readiness of the Red Cross for action, and the same can be said of the San Domingo hurricane, which killed 12 persons and reduced the homes of 182 persons to wreckage. A flood In San Salvador, with a death toll of 50 and 2,000 refugees, was also effectually handled by the local Chapi ter of the American Red Cross. Relief Machinery Perfected The year has seen the further perfection of dtesater relief administrative measures In every field of American Red Cross activity, and that the I work may be carried on to still greater ’accomplishments the American Red Cross is appealing for widespread renewal of membership during the annual Roll Call, to be conducted this rear from Armistice Day (November 11) to, and including, Thanksgiving Day (November 30). Red Cross Roll Call Heard World Around The Annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross nor registration of the membership for 1023 will begin on Armistice Day, November 11, and close on Thanksgiving Day, November i3O The ground work for this stupendous task of re-enrolling the membership throughout the world has been laid in a plan for the first complete «nd compmhesmlve system of registration of the Red Cross, membership In all Its 3,300 active Chapters at home and abroad. An important feature of the roundthe world Roll Call campaign will be a universal effort to re-enllst the service of war-time Red Cross workers in the peace program by their participation in the Roll Call. In this way ttie vast army of volunteers will once n ,„re affiliate with ‘he work of the Bed Cross In Its manifold phases. Cooperation also has been assured by Government and private maritime Interests In a deep-sea Roll Call that Is designed to reach every member or potential member In every part of the world who may he en voyage or temporarily in any port. Thousands of Chapters will adopt >he home canvass plan of enrollment which originated In Pittsburgh, where last year it resulted In a membership Increase of 50 per cent. All records In this year's campaign will be kept cn standard size cards to be filed by each Chapter for future use.

Physicians Aiding in i Preventing Tuberculosis t Indianapolis, Oct. 17.—Tho physiolnns of Indiana uro giving more support each year to efforts of the tuberculosis association toward tho prevention of tuberculosis, according lo Mur- , ray A. Nuerbach, secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis association. This is true not only of individuals in the ( medical profession throughout the ( state, but of the profession as a body. « The latest instance of such support i is to bo found in the pannage of strong 1 resolution by the Indiana Medical as- ( soclation, in its annual meeting at i Muncie. In these resolutions the Med- I leal association says: “Whereas, the Indiana Tuberculosis association is carrying on a campaign tor a more intelligent appreciation of the medical problem, which is evidenced in its program for the prevention and control of tuberculosis; its health activities among children; the organ! zation of county groups stimulating interest among laymen; the progress made in bringing about the earlier diagnosis of tuberculosis, and increased facilities for the care of the tuberculous, be it “Resolved, that the Indiana Medical Association endorse the work of the Indiana Tuberculosis association and urge the earnest support of the modileal profession in furthering its endeavors.” _• Feed Trees Dye to Make Hardwood Berlin, Oct. 17.—Several acres of •dyed” or “vaccinated” trees are growing in the vicinity of Hanover, their leaves red and black and other unusual colors, their wood similarlystained. This is the result of the newest achievement of German science, which converts ordinary wood into an imitation hard wood by feeding the tree dyes while it grows. The process can be further amplified, so that an actual hardwood—mahogany, ebony and so on—is developed under hydraulic pressure. Holders of patents for the new process say that they will make the German furniture industry independent of import of costly foreign woods, while, with the hardening process it is expected that a substitute for hardwoods in furniture making and ni bobbin manufacture will be achieved at low prices. * I The Overseas Week in Hamburg displayed a number of samples of the vaccinated wood, the promoters claiming that these specimens were scarcely to be distinguished from the genuine. There is a question, however, as to whether or not the color would remain fast. The inventors say it will hold. Great Mine Fire Raging Since 1884 New Lexington, Ohio, Oct. 17 —Geologists and miners estimate $50,000,006 worth of bituminous coal has been burned in the subterranean viens of Perry county where incendiarism Parted a fire (hiring the great coal trike of 1884. The blaze, which has been eating its way through tho unmined stocks of Ohio fuel, is raging again at the mouth of an abandoned shaft near Shawnee. The furnace hurls its tongues of flame a hundred feet into the uir and can be seen for miles. At other places in the hills tho fire lias broken through the surface stratum and shoots as high as the sur■ottnding treetops. At the present rate geologists estimate it will take fifteen years for the fire to exhaust its acreage. Chasms large enough to hold two story houses have been opened by the blaze in the New Straitsville district Great fissures scar the earth's surface all along the three mile line of the fire. For heat and smoke, residents of tills district might be living on the slopes of Vesuvius. After each rain, clouds of smoke rise from the cracks in the earth and smoke constantly out over the land. On one farm near New Straitsville water is at the steaming point when drawn from tho well because of the intense underground heat. o Leg Cultivation Latest Among the Parisians Paris, Oct. 17. —French women are being told how to cultivate a shapely, leg and ankle. It is being told to them through the newspapers, in the street-cars, and in the Metro (subway). The method to one who is not initiated recalls the Chinese method of footbinding. It consists in wrapping a rubber band tightly about the lower leg and ankle in a certain prescribed way revealed only to the initiated. This modern torture confines the wearer to the house, as the bandage is far too bulky to be worn under the flimsy stockings now in vogue. o Lines of least resistance lead to no- j I where.
