Gold Filled!
Belt'Buckles which rank |
among the finer gifts
The Wadsworth Gold Filled Belt Buckle is
unlike any other buckle you’ve ever seen.
Made in 14 kt. white or green gold filled, it is
of the same quality, designed by the same
artists, and fashioned by the same skilled
craftsmen as the celebrated Wadsworth
Watch Cases!
Here is a gift of real character, truly
worthy of the man you wish particularly
to honor. The Wadsworth Gold Filled Belt
Buckle positively will not tarnish, and pos
sesses all the beauty and durability of solid
gold at a more moderate cost. May also be
had in sterling silver, if preferred.
There’s a wide variety of distinctive de
signs to choose from, truly masculine in
character. Come in now, while all designs |
are available, and let us help you select. i. *

Every Pan-Am dealer is a man of known fair deal
ing in all his business transactions. And the high
quality of Pan-Am gasoline never varies . . .
yet it costs no more than the ordinary kind.
WHEN you leave a Pan-Am station, you
will know why thousands of motor
ists look for the cream-colored pumps.
They are sure of petting, there, gasoline and
motor oils of known high quality ... on
strange roads over in neighboring states as
well as at home.
Moreover, they know that every Pan-Am
dealer is a man to be de
pended upon in all his busi
ness dealings ... so proved
by rigid investigation.
There is a big difference in
men and in gasoline. Be on
the safe side always. Buy

VETERANS STHL
- NED RED CROSS
Aid to Disabled Men Increases
as Problems and Legislation
Bring Complications.
20.000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR
Many Entitled to Benefits Still
Uninformed of Just Claims
to Compensation.
Eight years after the World War
finds service to disabled veterans still
a major responsibility of the Ameri
can Red Cross.
This situation is due to the increas
ing problems Involved and the com
plex character of veteran legislation.
There is also an Increase in numbers
of “death cases” handled, as com
pared with claims for living veterans,
though the work for the latter re
mains heavy. About »b,OOO ex-servic*
men are dying each year, a consider
able percentage of these having serv
ice-connected disabilities.
In a majority of cases, Red Cross
Chapters find their assistance is need
ed in helping dependents present
their claims for death compensation,
Insurance payments, bonus, burial al
lowances, and other government ben
efits due them. An episode of the
past year illustrates the difficulties
frequently encountered by the Red
Cross experts in rendering such as
sistance. A veteran dying from serv
ice-connected disease, was trying from
his bedside to establish at that lata
time his claim for Government aid to
his family, and the necessary proofs
were in a physician's records across
the continent from him. To obtain
the needed affidavits before it was too
late, a cross-continent airplane flight
was necessary, then a Red Cross
Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the
investigation, sending the paperrf
back to the veteran and his Red
Cross helpers in Oregon, by air mail.
It reached there in time.
Another discovery in Red Cross as
sistance to veterans and their fami
lies is that many dependents of these
rne'fl unquestionably entitled to Gov
ernment aid, have struggled along,
ignorant of their rights.
Aproxiinately 2,686 Red Cross Chap
ters carry on Home Service work, in
assistance to veterans and their dam
ilies. The Chapetrs also conduct
campaign among veterans for rein
statement and conversion of their
term insurance. Among its other du
ties, the Red Cross assumed at the
request of the Canadian Government
the administration of a fund allotted
to the care ot Canadian disabled vet
erans living in the United States.
In the United States the Red Cross
assisted au average of about 80,000
disabled veterans and their families
every month in the past fiscal year.
Indicating the size of this undertak
ing, National Headquarters of the
Red Cross expended $1,641,178.18 on
disabled veterans alone, and $509,-
451.72 on assistance to men on active
duty with the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps, while Red Cross local' Chap
ters expended a total of $1,987,000.
Red Cross assistance to service men
overshadowed every other phase of
its program, even its disaster relief,
until the Florida hurricane.
Help for veterans covers many de
mands, from temporary aid until Gov
ernment claims are adjusted or until
the ex soldier is properly hospitalized,
to extending capital loans to rehabili
tated veterans endeavoring to become
self-supporting in business. Several
such capital loans were to blind vet
erans.
Contact with veterans in hospitals
is maintained by Red Cross personnel
which doctors agree influences the
veteran's welfare and improvement.
The Veterans’ Bureau was planned
to carry on social work in its hospi
tals for mental cases, and in many
cases the Government and the Red
Cross are co-operating for the welfare
of the men suffering war disabilities.
The public is invited to assist this
work by joining the Red Cross during
the Annual Roll Coll, November 11
to 25.
ALWAYS AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS
Since 1905 the American Red Cross
has given relief to 854 disasters in
the United States alone, a year sel
dom passes without a major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross in each case has
remained on the job until relief was
completed.
bast year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out
standing relief operation by the Red
Cross. The Florida hurricane in Sep
tember created a problem which ex
ceeded in proportions any disaster
since the San Francisco fire.
By joining the American Red Cross
every American can do his part to
make its service's continuously effec
tive. The Annual Roll Call from No
vember 11 to 25, this year, is your op
portunity.
