THOUSINDS “HED CHUES AD NNT STRICT Annual Report Shows 106,151 ‘amilies Receive Help with ~ Outlay of Over $239,- “000 in Cash The annual report of the department of, civilian’ relief; American Red Cross, which has just been completed, discloses numerous interesting facts and figures. This report shows that during the period fram January, 1919, to January, 1940, there were 106,151 families dealt with by home service sections of the mountain division and the division a Financial assistance to the ex- tent of $239,273.77 was rendered dur- ing that time. Of this sum, $234,502.35 was devoted to the needs of soldiers and sailors and their families. In the twélve months under review ‘there ‘were 40,848 services rendered. Civilian families were afforded aid that cost the Red Cross $4,771.42, under spe cial permission given by the division manager. Much of this assistance was given to families suffering as a result of influenza, either through death of one or more of the parents or a mere visitation of the scourge. Some idea of the vast amount of work entailed in discharging the activi- ties of the civilian relief department is indicated by the fact that 105,000 pieces of outgoing mail were prepared in the division office. , During the year covered by the re- port thirty-nine mountain division chapters applied for leave to extend home service to civilian families. Chap- ters bave organized and are now ope- rating community centers, Others are concentrating on health programs. Seven hundred and forty civilian fam- ilies' cases and 4,771 financial relief cases represent the beginning of the new work in this respect. Seven field supervisors working out of the division office made visits to 260 Chapters in the last six months of 1919. The year 1919 marked the inaugura- tionvat.the.peace tinfe program of the “Red -Gross, which, in many respects, _ as Been.and will be greater than was its war-time program. ‘The work thus far accomplished has prepared the way for a general acceptance of the Red Cross ag a permanent peace time factor. The people are beginning to place the sdmeé reliance upon it that they did in time of war. The division agent at Denver—Ed- ward M handled more cases than | any. other agént.in the division. Mr. | McLean's report for February, 1920, shows that he handled during that time 1, 474 cases.” During that time he and his staff had 2,016 interviews with ex- service men. The making of loaris’ is one of the chief activities-of division agents, They must exercise care and caution be- cause of a- growing tendency on the part of some men to abuse their priyi- lege in this respect. During February Mr. McLean made loans amounting to $4,220. These loans were to tide men over pending the time they obtained jobs, or were to help men who were stranded with thejr families, or to pro- vide transportation in case of sickness and death, or to purchase clothing or shoes. To the credit of the ex-service men it may be said that more than 50 per cent of them pay back in full the loans they obtain from the Red Cross. During January, 1920, loans were made to 132 men awaiting vocational train- ing; more than 120 men awaiting com- pensation were granted loans; seventy men were placed in jobs; nine men were sent home, the cost of transporta- tion for same being $640. The sum of $160 was spent for meals for strand- ed men. What Would You Do with Million? It Does Happen A million dollars is a lot of money- even in these days of the high cost of living. If a fellow had a million dol lars he could have eggs for breakfast, potatoes for every meal, and perhaps a barrel of apples in the cellar. What do you suppose the folks ‘in Texas did with their millions, when, over night, oil sprouted out of the ground, and made humble farmers into millionaires? a? The story of this Texas strike of 1919 is every. bit as interesting as the days of ’49 or the Klondike of- '08: There is nothing in the history of ro- mance tofparallel it, and you can read all about it in the series of articles Frazier Hunt is writing for Cosmo politan, One of these articles appéars in the current Cosmopolitan now pn salé, and ‘you will chuckle whén you read it. It is w story of plain, simple, humble folks who went to bed one night -as poor as church mice and Woke up the next morning with more money than they had ever heard of before!

Operations were suspended late in November owing to inability to secure material and the setting in of severe winter weather. During the past month every effort has been expended to get all the materis) on the ground, thus enabling the builders to rush the work to an early completion and now crews are working seven days a week. The steel is all on the ground and is erected to the second story. More than a carload of lumber for the rough flooring has been put on the ground in the past week and a large force of men are laying the floors. Huge piles of brick and tile are being placed on the building site and the masons will be at work within a few days. Every effort will be made to complete the building in time to help handle the rush of summer. business. Already the rush of visitors is overtaxing the ho- tel accommodations altho there are five good hosteleries in operation here and the new hotel is badly needed. The structure will be an imposing one, three stories with full basement. The ground floor will provide five large store rooms, which are badly needed, in addition to the spacious lobby. There will be 100 rooms all fuliy modern and 35 of these with private beth. A hotel man of wide acquantaince and high standing from Salt Lake will open the hotel to the public when completed.

The matter has been made the subject of much dis cussion and in an effort to escape just criticism those responsible for the ¢ wave endeavored to divert this censure to others in no wise responsible for the situation. When the $240 bonus item was reach- ed, along toward the end of the legis- lative bill, it was objected to by Rep- esentatve Blanton, a Democrat, of Tex- is. Under the rules of the house a single objecticn would throw the item out. At that hour, with the bill almost completed, and the rules committee not in session, it would have been prac tically impossible for anyone to have secured a rule to save the item, had they been disposed to do so. - Representative Blanton is himself in favor of the $240 bonus, and practically every. member of the house -has so ex- pressed himself, Blanton explains his action yby saying that the Federal Em- ployes ‘union, thru its legislative agents lobbying at the capital, boasted that \they would haye the $240 bonus in the house bill and then force the senate to raise it to $430, and then force the conferees to either accept the $480 or some amount-above $240. It was to defeat this attempt, Blaton says, that he exercised his right to object to the item in the house. Nobody familiar with the situation at any time had any doubt about the $240 bonus being restored. Lobbyists of the Federal Employes’ association, whose aggressiveness brot about the elimi- ay in an effort to escape criticism for their over-zealousness, started to throw- ing rocks at a Tot of folks who had nothing to do with the matter in any way.

CHEYENNE BOYS REFUSE TO BE RAILROADERS| CHEYENNE, Wyo., Mar. 15.—Chey- enne is a “railroad’’ town, perhaps fifty per cent of its. population being di- rectly or indirectly dependent for their daily cake on the railroads entering the city, yet there is not a single juvenile Cheyenneite, insofar as the Chamber of Commerce has been able to ascer- tain, who is ambitious to become a railroad man. Replies to several hun- dred questionnaries sent by the Cham- ber to Cheyenne boys reveal desire among the youngsters to become nearly everything else than railroad men. The situation is regarded as remarkable in- asmuch as the railroad class of the city’s population perhaps draw wages considerably higher on the average than any other wage-earning cli In many parts of India the natives @epend for fo6@ upon the blossoms of the bassia-tree.
