GOOD NEWS TRAVELS FAR

San Francisco recently observed the tenth anniversary of its destruction by earthquake and fire by striving to outclass any other city in the United States in its per capita membership in the American Red Cross. It has 11,000 members now and Is aiming at the 25,000 mark in a vigorous campaign. This special effort is inspired by its gratitude for the aid rendered by the Red CreSs in San Francisco’s disaster ten years ago. The picture shows Miss Mabel Boardman of the American Red Cross in Washington receiving a telephone message from San Francisco telling of the opening of the campaign.
