He opposes discontinuance of con- struction on the naval hospitals, cur- tailment of crews on certain ships, de- commissioning certain vessels during maneuvers, curtailing maneuvers to save on ammunition and fuel and dis- continuance of the Navy Band.

Most of these were not widespread, but stunned local com- munities and in some instances re- quired extended relief operations. Drought relief went to approximately ,765,00 persons, with a peak load of 460,240 families on the roll on any one day. Volunteer. workers numbered more than 37,000 while paid workers totaled less than 2,000. Lunches were served to 184,459 children in 3,542 schools and 18,302 victims of pellagra came under observation and special treatment, 612 Carloads Distributed. In addition to the Red Cross orders, 612 carloads of foodstuffs donated in communities all over the Nation were distributed in the drought area. To- gether with less than carload lots, these donated goods had an estimated value of $648,658. Red Cross chapters had an estimated value of $342,023, making a grand total value for donat=d supplies of $990,681. “The Red Cross,” the Teport stated, “was criticized by some persons who, ac- customed to city prices, thought of th= money spent for ratior in terms of a city store or restaurant. To an unem- ployed laborer in a great industrial city a $2 or $3 allotment for a 30-day food supply for one person would have looked like & cruel jest. Yet in large drought areas it gave the recipient all the food he needed of the kind to which he had been accustomed. “If the unemployed city laborer with a wife and two children had instead of $8 to $10 in food orders received 125 or 150 pounds of food for a 30-day period, | if he had no rent to pay and besides had chickens and a vegetable garden he would have thought himself indeed fortunate. “In considering the feeding problem, it is important to bear in mind that the “The Oy Real RADIATOR CABINET &Unl‘my It'scheaper in the long run to buy Tuttle & Bailey Radi- ator Cabinets.

It did not sweep the country clean of local supplies. - Red Cross gave full rations to those who had no rations whatever. It gave supplementary rations to those who were able to supply some of their own staples. For instance, a family might have plenty of cornmeal, lard, salt meat, homemade molasses and greens, but no-money for coffee, sugar, white flour, rice and soap. “Donations of foods from factories and producers helped to supplement the store orders. Gifts of fruit were always distributed in addition to the issuance of staples. The low prices set by the local merchants enabled the Red Cross dollars to go surprisingly far. The spirit of the merchants was generous in the extreme.” BABY PRIZES AWARDED | Illinois Boy and Missouri Girl Take | Honors at St. Louis Show. ST.
