Some time ago Angel became peeved and began to destroy Mit- {right to parade down the “The Island (Key West) is the only spot in our land that has no ‘mustness’ in its philosophy. For ithose who like warmth and lazi- ness, who feel that they have a main pike in rompers, coveralls or rags, who resent the pressure of mod- ern life, and who are capable of gene g their own excitement rather than purchasing it at a night c!ut, the city of the ‘conks’ has an irresistible charm.

During the past year, both from actual observation and from the accounts of work done which were carried in daily newspapers, we have seen just how important it is that we have an active agency of the American people to administer assistance when the need arises. The frequency with which this need does arise has been demonstrated during the past twelve months when we recall the floods, the tornadoes, the hurricanes, and the epidemics that have been suffered in various parts of this great coun- try, and the work that the Red Cross has done to relieve di: tress and actual suffering as a result of these catastrophes.
