| RED CROSS RESCUED /600,000 FROM DEATH Spent $1,200,000 for Relief of | Famine Sufferers in China i Last Year. {To help overcome conditions of acute Aistress in five famihe stricken prov- | fnces of Northern China, where mil- lions of persons were affected by an unprecedented shortage of food, the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year spent niore than $1,200,000, ! $1,000,000 of which was contributed di- | ‘ recty by National Headquarters and | the remainder by various groups ‘n- | terested {n the welfare of China. | Through the wide reliet operations | thus made possible it is estimated that more than 600,000 famine sufferers | were suved from starvation. To the end that similar prompt re- llef measures by the organization may always be possible the Red Cross is asking continued support by the Amer- | fcan people by universal remewal of | membership at the Annual Red Cross | Roll Call, November 11 to 24. i The method of velief employed by | the American Red Cross in its opera- | tfons in China was particularly efle f tive, for in addition to saving hundreds | of thousands of lives it provided China | | \ i with more than 900 wiles of permaunent rouds that are sorely needed to pr vent a recurrence of famine. At one time the Red Cross employed 74,000 Chinese workmen, paying them in food for themselves and dependents, this f00d being brought in from Manchuria and elsewhere, ONE DOLLAR ANNUAL DUES IN THE AMERICAN RED CROSS MAKES YOU A PARTICIPANT IN RELIEF WORK FOR £ & ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ THE HELPLESS THAT GIRDLES THE GLOBE.

CENSURE BRITISH NEW RICH { War Profiteers Don't Give to Charity, & as They Should, Old Aris- tocracy Charges. ! /The English “new rich” have to bear i almost as much criticism as the prime | Juinister, and from almost as mixed a | gource. Their natural enemies are the } | poor and the new poor, and the latter element seews to feel strongest on the subject. The aristocracy have taken . lately to publishing their sentiments | '/ about the people who have usurped | their place. One of the charges they make I8 that the new rich don’t know o how to give, and that as a result hos- | pitals and charitable institutions are | being forced to close up. It may not be, say the aristocracy dubiously, that the new rich are wilfully seltish. But they are not used to money, and so | are not used to glving it away. An- | ¢ other allegation, made by a peppersy e daughter of an impoverished duke, was | that the new rich had never done any- thing to make the world beautiful and i that as a class they had produced no i great art or literature. i & - Socially the new rich have to bear the brunt of all the changes.

The | people with good manners who useéd to | 8lt in stalls before the war have dis- ' appeared and their successors lack | " Dbreeding.

AR | | THEGRY OF ORDINARY 'COLDS Maxwell Expresses Opinion | Trouble Is Due to Development | of Bacterial Growths. i I have believed for some years llmt} common colds are due primarily to the development of bacterlal growths in the accessory nasal sinuses and that this development is 1sed by the ob- struction of the druinagd of these sinuses by the swelling of the nasal ucosa, writes Dr. G, M. Maxwell of Roanoke, Va, Swelling of the mucosa is due in turn to irritation from some forelgn substance, such as dust, bac- and pollen. The bacteria are | ordinarily found in the nasal | cavity and cause trouble only when | the free access of air.into the field is prevented by the swollen mucosa. This opinion has been strengthened by the fact that continuous treatment or spraying with o mild nonirritant as arrest an dcute cold. When a cold holds on for as much as a week I have nearly always found cloudiness in one or more of the sinuses, and get imme- diate rellef by washing out these si-, nuses with a mild alkaline solution, | The Cold South.

It is found that the mean! temperature south of the equator, for| the entire year, is about two and| three-quarter degrees lower north of the equator. But the an-| nual varlation of tempevature in the| northern hemisphere is twice as| large as In the southern, our sum-| mer temperature being much higher| and our winter temperature nercpmh[ bly lower than those of the corre- sponding seasons In the southern half| of the globe.

Right on the eve of the arms parley and the biggest season in history, cer- tain members of the innermost circle of the residential set, that inscrutable | group which official society and the diplomatic corps have never been able to penetrate have surrendered to (commercialism.

Just think of it!” It all came about when an “‘all so- ore was opened under tl name of the “Francaise.” Everybody from the manager to the bundle wrapper is well known in Washington society.

Byingion of Na- ples writes that the production of figs for local consumption and for ex- portation is an important industry in Fresh figs are a staple article of food, especially for the | poorer classes, during the season, and | when dried in the sun may be kept for consideralle periods of time, Of peculiar economic value is the fact that they may be grown in soil too poor for other crops.

Bright Boy Does Not Always Fill Ex- pectations of Frients, While ' Stupid Lad Surprises. An ex-headmaster of years' ex- perience has confessed that he was anything but a model boy at school. He is not exceptional. Some boys whq have no lack of brains have not the “examination mind,” and in some the intelligence s too vivacious and original to be interested in routine work.
