Pension legislation passed recently
for World War Veterans, and Increased
allotments to all Spanlsb-Amerlcan
War Veterans, have gi-en to Chapters
and the national society many thou-
sands of additional cases to handle.
Judge Payne said.
In the past year help was given In
108 disasters. Ninety of these were in
the United Stales, twelve In foreign
possessions and six »eie in foreign
countries.
Health activities of the Red Cross
also are nelng extended, especially
In the rural communities where all
health authorities agree the greatest
need exists. Red Cross, with 794
nurses In Its employ, is the greatest
employer of public health nurses In
rural areas in the United States.
In Its campaign against accidental
deaths, begun twenty yeara ago with
Its life saving and first aid programs,
the Red Cross now has adopted an ad-
ditional program—that of combating
the huge toll of life from automobile
accidents on the highways.
Expenditures of the Red Cross in the
past year were $1,254,796.34, of which
$1,208,151.09 was spent in disaster
relief, the chairman pointed out.
“The Red Cross depends upon the
public for its support, through their
memberships enrolled once each year
in the period from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day," Judge Payne said.
"We do not receive any support from
tbo Government, or through other tax-
ation, although as the President of the
United States is president of the so-
ciety, and one-third of Its governing
members are representatives of U. S.
Departments, It ranks as a seml-gov-
ermental agency.
“By Joining as a member, in the
local Red Cross Chapter, once each
year, during the annual Roll Call,
every citizen will have a purt in car-
rying on this great humanitarian
taek."
Causey of El Faso county, declared
crops of three bales per acre on ir-

The long list of whiskey violations
continues to lead on the court doc-
kets and those going to the pentiten-
1iary for some form of violation of
1he whiskey or prohibition laws have]
a heavy lead. L it not strange that
fine young material should play too
foolish? There is a difference in a
plain thief and just, a foolhardy ad-
venturer who would blight his life
simply because Vo ha; small respect

Motor Injuries Treated
By Red Cross First Aid
la line with Its work for the preser-
vation of life and prevention of acci-
dental death, the American Red Cross
has adopted a new program of emer-
gency first aid stations od the high-
ways of the nation, whoro victims of
automobile Injuries will lie helped.
In the last year 31,000 persons were
killed as the result of automobile acci-
dents and more than 1,000,000 were
injured. As its contribution to the
nation wide safety campaigns of other
organizations, the Red Cross will aid
through the emergency stations. A
number already are In operation by
Chapters on such important traffic ar-
teries as Hie Westchester County,
N. Y., park system, the Valley Forge
and Gettysburg highways in Pennsyl-
vania and Hie While Horse Pike in
New Jersey, connecting with Atlantic
City.
Saving Mothers and Babies
Is Important Red Cross Task
Saving mother:' lives and better ba-
btes were important features during
tlie past year of the Public Health
Nursing Service of the American Red
Cross. About four-fifths of the 794
nurses In tlie Red Cross work made
more than 100,000 prenatul aud mater-
nity visits, in addition to assisting
doefora in tho examination of 1,309,409
school children.
Statistics reveal that tho lives of
two out of three AmerlcuL women who
die in maternity cases could be saved
If they received proper medical and
nursing care. As more than 15,000
women die In the United Stites each
year from various diseases of the ma-
ternal state, thiu means that more
than 10,000 of these deaths are pre-
ventable.
t xceed those of farmers growing
ninny times as many acres The
significance of the work of the boys
seems to lie in the suggestion that
higher acre yields offer an avenue
oi escape to Texas farmers from
their low-yielding, low-selling cotton
acres.
—o—
Another factor of great impor-
tance in much of the State is the
huge bite root rot takes out of the
profits. It is interesting to learn
that in addition to the extensive
research work in controlling this
disease by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station at the Temple
Sub-Station, on experiment with far-
mers has been started in coopera-
tion with the county agent in Nueces
county. Four-year test of crop rota-
tion, sub-soiling and manuring have
begun on three farms there. Sor-
ghum crops are to be planted for
three years, farmers using clean
If the tree is not yours the fruit
is not yours and taking same is
theft before the law.
We call attention to this because
there are others, possibly, like the
man jailed lust week, who think it
all right to take pecans because they
have done it before and nothing ever
happened except the enjoying of
fruit thus pilfered.
Pecans are now worth money and
owners are resenting their theft as

At Edinburg is per hap* the larg-
est duck farm in Texu:.. There are
about 10,000 Imperial ducks in ihi*
great flock, which is owned by Jack
Loss, Jr. Feed for the huge flock ia
shipped into Edinburg by the car-
load, and feeding time is a great
show for people who witness it. |
Early in the morning and again late
in i s afternoon the grounds are
Lterally covered with the snowy
white birds. In addition to the large
flock of youngsters fed in Edin-
burg for market, Mr. Ross has 1,000
ducks and 200 drakes at La Joya,
which are kept for breeding pur-
pose*. During tho laying season he
gathers about 1,500 eggs a week.
The eggs are taken to a commercial
hatchery and there turned into duck-
lings. The ducks are ready for mar-
ket at the age of twelve weeks, when
they weigh from six to eight pounds
each. The ducks are shipped to San
Antonio, Houston and Dallas, where!
a ready market is found for them.—

Traffic congestion, caused mostly
by downtown parking, costs Boston
881,000 a day, according to Joseph

of the New England City. “Boston
streets are intended for traffic,
not for parking,” he said, “and I

out.”
During the first four months of

automobile drivers to be licensed,

levoked 761 and refused applica-
tions from 1.262. Drunken drivers,
failing to stop after accidents and
speeding were the major causes of
license suspension and revocation.

New York not only suspends or
revokes licenses of incompetent or
reckless drivers, but refuses to re-
license them until they prove they
can satisfy damages that may accrue
from future accidents in which they
figure. Careless drivers are penaliz-
ed in Connecticut by permitting
them to be charged higher rates
for liability insurance than careful
drivers.
