Rum! communities and towns of less tlian 8,000 population beneflt'.In a very largo part by the public health and community welfare work of the American lied Crofcs. Almost all of the 8,000 Ked Cross chapters have soint rural sections In their territory. Therefore the Ked Cross Rural Service. Urlefly, the purpose of Rural Service Is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public heatth Instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play a big part Recreation Is found to be one of the biggest needs In rural life. There Is lock of sufficient play-life for tho children and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and carried on under the guidance of Red Cross rural worken to great advantage. In finny Instances soWlng recreational problems und getting people together proves to be the awakening of the community to other conditions which may be Improved by united action. As n result of community organization, townships In which there bad been neither plans nor Interest In community progress have been organized toVork together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a "result of community meetings, as well as circulating libraries, Red Cross schools of Instruction In Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. - In the larger towns the need for restrooms and public comfort stations is being met.

In order that there may be concerted effort In carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies In the rural districts. Red Cross Rural BertIce helps the organizations already od the ground. The main object of the service Is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where necessary. JUNIOR RED CROSS ACTIVE IN EUROPE Garden seeds for Polish orphans, milk for anaemic Greek babies, car penters' tools for Crecho-Slovaklnn cripples these are only a few of the gifts that young Americans are Pending to the war-crushed children of the Old World. Through the Junior Ked Cross the boys and girls of the United States are giving a fresh start In life to little war orphans scattered all over Kurope. They have set up orphans' homes In France, school colonies In Ilelglum and Montenegro, and day schools In Albania. They are sending dozens of young Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians to American colleges In Constantinople and Relrut, and maintaining more than a hundred orphans of French soldiers at colleges and trade schools. In Orphanages and farm schools up and down the peninsula of Italy there are nearly f00 wards of American Junior. Last winter a thousand French children from the Inadequate shelters of the devasted regions were sent by the Junior Red Cross to spend the cold months In warmer parts of France. At the lama time five thousand little Belgians were haying a hot lunch every day at Junior Red Cross schoM canteen. Amerlcin school children have ai. ready raised something like a million dollars for these enterprises, and they are still hard at work. In China, through campaigns of education, the Junior ReJ Cross Is helping to combat widely prevalent blindness and cholera. Keep up the fight against the profiteers. Arow, Mexico has no ML-presldent pre! lern.

Swiss Role .O on MAYLLISO Refreshed by her two-weeks' vacation tour of the old Soanish iuissions along El Camino Real in onthrn California, dainty May Allison has started work at the dew Metro studio3 in Hollywood in a new screen comedy, the working titleof which is 4lmrst Married." Prior to her rest period Miss Allison completed "Castles in the Air," George B, Bi ker'a scenarioization of Kale Jorcon's magazine story, "Cast lesinthe Air," under Mr. Baker direction. Beginning her naw starring vehicle "Almost Married" Miss Allison comes under the direction of Charles Swickard, who direc don Bert Lvtell irr the thrcj notible successes, "The Spn!"." "Faith" and "Hitting tlu ilia'h apcts." E. V. During supplied the original story of "Almost Married'; which was purchased by Metro and made into a scenario by Lieutenant Adjutant Luther A. Reed. Miss Allison has the at t active roleof Adrienne Santerre daughter of a picturesque Swiss innkeeper, whose phenomenal singing voice is the cause of her being transported to New York, where she becomes the reigning favorite in a midnight revue. Among her native Alps however the charming young sihger h3s loved and been j ilted by :the son of an American millionaire Theboy's father, deciding to find relief irom the hard grind 01 business in his flinp along the gay white way. meets. Adrienne, and hearing of : he way his son has treated her, decides to marry her and let the boy rppent through jealousy. Tnus the girl he had one? pi jt ured as his wle becomes a "mother to the boy. And ther? ensue a seriescf highly ingenious and cleer comedy situhtions calculated to stir the risibilities. Another reason thoso people at Monte Carlo cheered "Tlu Star-Span pled Ilanner" so loudly maj have been the fact that ours Is about the only country that has real money. Railroads are essential to the delivery of so many products that the ultimate consumer cannot be erpocted to solve difficulties for them by undertaking a c:ish-and-carryM program. RED CROSS RELIEF IN CENTRAL EUROPE i Rut for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year, a large proportion of the 20.000.OOO population of the Balkan States might Lave starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dollars worth of food, clothing and medlcal supplies have been sent to the Raikans Roumanla, Rulgarla, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Rosnla and Greece since the beginning of Red Cross relief operations In Central Europe, while millions of dollars worth of food alone has been sent to the needy In these states. The money expended y the Red Cross In this stricken portion of Europe has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages, dispensaries, mobile med! Ry the last of this year probably all American Red Cross agencies administering relief In Central Europe will have withdrawn Ry that time, It Is believed, tho people will have approached a normal state of living and will be able through their own agencies which the Red Cross has helped eet tip to provide for themselves,

FIRST AID TRAINING TO LIEN AND l70?,lE!i American Red CrossMs Teaching Hundreds of Thousands LifeSaving Methods. Hie purpose of Instruction In First Aid to the Injured offertd by tfce American Red1 cross is "to train" men" and women to administer First Aid treatment promptly and intelligently when emergencies demand L First Aid treatment Is not Intended to take the place of a physician's service. A surgeon should always be Eumraoneed as a precautionary measure where there Is an injury of any consequence, but when one cannot be secured a few minutes' delay may mean a fatality. In such a case a person trained In First Aid Is Invaluable not only to the Individual, but through him to the community In which ho lives. There Is perhaps no way of ascertaining the number of deaths or serious disablements which result from lack of proper safeguards or prompt emergency treatment. It is safe to assert they number thousands dally. JThere can be no doubt that the application of First Aid methods to each case would Immeasurably lighten the country's toll of suffering and death. The dissemination of First Aid training and Information has already produced a farrcachlng and beneficial influence In the prevention of accidents on railroads. In mines and in great In dustrial concerns. The benefit of a widespread knowledge of First Aid In the event of a great disaster, such as a train wreck, an explosion, an earthqulke, etc., Is obvious. Laymen who have had First Aid training can render efficient assistance. Many Ihres may depend upon such emergency care. Red Cross First Aid work Include? (1) the formation and conduct, through Red Cross chapters, of classes for instruction In accident prevention and First Aid to the injured among men and women in all communities and In every Industry; (2) the Introduction of courses of Instruction In h4gh schools and colleges. The Ited Cross Is prepared to supply First Aid books and equipment at rca sonable prices. Every person In this country able to do so should. In his own Interest, receive Ked Cross First Aid Instruction. Information about the course and Instruction classes may be had at the nearest chapter headquarters.
