Washington.—Expenditures totaling
50,738,872.47 for carrying through its
program of services and relief during
the fiscal year In the United States
•nd overseas are authorized in the
budget tft the American Red Cross, ef
fective July 1, 1922. This total Is $2,-
785,975 less than the expenditures for
the last fiscal year, when disburse
ments leached $12,475,847.69, It is an
nounced at National Headquarters in
a statement emphasizing the necessity
of continued support of the organiza
tion by enrollment during the annual
Roil Call, November 11-November 80
Inclusive. This total for the budget
Is exclusive of the large financial op
erations of the 3,300 active Red Cross
Chapters, which, It is estimated, will
mors than double the total.
War Veterans Have First Call
First call on Red Cross funds Is for
the disabled ex-service men, of whom
527,487 were receiving treatment from
the Government on June 1 last. This
•work for veterans and their families
In a wide variety of service that the
Government is not authorized to ren
der and for which it has neither
funds nor facilities has the call on
$3,030,692.90 during the current year,
•r about $366,000 more than was ex
pended last year for soldier service.
Adding the funds disbursed in this
humanitarian work of physical recon
stitution following the World War by
the Chapters throughout the country
will approximate a total for the cur
rent year approaching $10,000,000.
Tills work, in the opinion of the Sur
geon General’s office, will not reach
Its peak before 1926
Through its Chapters the American
Red Creas is equipped to find the in
dividual ex-aervice man, help him in
hia problems and difficulties, provide
Immediately for his necessities, and
open the way for him to the Govern
ment compensation and aid to which
he Is entitled. The extension of this
work to the families of such men
proves to them that the Red Cross
feu lost none of Its sympathy ner will
$• service manifested in wartime. Sim
ilarly the service goes out t* the men
■till 1* the Army and Navy, 11,087 of
whom were under treatment In Gov
ernment hospital* on June 1, 1922.
Greater Domestic Program
This year—after five years of con
structive effort during the war and
■fter the armistice —brings with it a
greater responsibility for domestic
servloe to the American Red Cross.
TUs budget for foreign operations,
however, totals $3,404,000, but of this
■mount $1,884,000 is for medical re
lief and hoapltal supplies for Russia,
which Is « part sf the gift made by
the American Rad Cross in 1921 to
the Russian famine relief work of the
Ameilcan Relief Administration pro
gtam. The child health service in Eu
rope continues, moreover, and $654,-
•00 is appropriated for this work un
•ertaken In 1920. Othsr items in the
Stringently diminished foreign pro
gram Include $200,000 to support the
Longue of Red Cross Societies, $22,
•00 for nuraee’ training schools insti
tntod by the Red Cross abroad, and
$•00,000 for liquidation of the general
Red Cross foreign relief program.
Prsparod for Emergencies
For disaster relief the Red Cross
has sot aside $750,000, and for emer
gencies in Chapter work $500,000
to bo available for domestic, Insular
■nd foreign demands. This Is mors
than $895,000 above last year's expen
diture*. For service and assistance
!• the 8,800 Chapters and their
tranche* $1,293,000 is provided by the
National organization.
Other budget items of importance
!& the domestic program include $200,-
000 for assistance to other organiza
tions and education institutions for
training Rod Cross nurse* and work
era ; $190,000 for R«ll Call assistance

REMAINS CAPITAL OF MUSIC
Vienna, In All Its Vicissitude*, Still
the Beloved Center for the Real
Lovers of Melody.
| In starving Vienna the great hunger
! Is still for music. After desperate
years of struggle the capital on the
j blue Danube remains a musical center,
a inecca for artistic pilgrims, says the
Living Age.
Lovers of music have regretfully
speculated as to what might be the ulti
mate fate of the city where Mozart,
Beethoven, Brahms, Gluck and the
waltz kings of opera composed their
masterpieces. Dr. Julius Korngold, in
the London Morning Post, holds out
some hope.
The opera, under the combined di
rection of Franz Schalk and Richard
Strauss, is giving, as a rule, the best
performances in the world. The only
drawback Is that the presence of
Strauss brings back the “star” system,
which bad been banished fr<>m Vienna
for some decades. The opera is even
jestingly referred to as “Richard
Strauss’ theater.”
Then, too, Frau Jenitza has left for
New York, and Lotte Lehmann has
gone to Argentina. However, the
orchestra, under the direction of Felix
Welngartner, is unsurpassed and con
tinues to give Its eight Philharmonic
midday concerts. And in its magnifi
cent opera house Vienna has a superb
setting for the performances.
WHY TERMED ‘NAVAL STORES’
Centuries Ago Turpentine and Rosin
Were Imported Into England for
Ship Purposes Only.
“Naval stores,” translated Into ev
eryday English, simply means turpen
tine and rosin.
The earliest mention of the turpen
tine and rosin industry in the United
Slates is found In an old manuscript
under date of 1610, which may be seen
in tlie public record office at London.
It is entitled “Instruction for suche
things as are to be sente from Vir
ginia.”
“Hard pitclie,” “Tarre,” “Turpen
tine” and “Rozen,” are also mentioned
in the “Booke of the Commodities of
Virginiu,” which, it is presumed, was
issued about the same time.
Pitch and tar were the chief prod
ucts of the industry up to the middle
of the Eighteenth century. This ex
tensive use in the construction and
maintenance of sailing vessels caused
them to be called “nuval stores,” the
term which is now applied to the tur
pentine and rosin industry, which has
supplanted the old-time production of
tar and pitch.
Paradoxical, Indeed.
In neting as toastmaster at a recent
function of the Washington real estate
board, Thomas Bradley was con
fronted with the duty of expressing
the board’s regret that Major Carey
H. Brown was relinquishing his post
as executive officer of the district
zoning commission, and its pleasure
that Major Wheeler had been assigned
as Major Brown’s successor.
“Whenever there is one of these
leave-taking and welcoming affairs, I
am reminded of the time that Dr.
Wellington Koo, noted Chinese diplo
mat, brought home forcibly the para
doxical peculiarities of Americans, as
he termed it,” Mr. Bradley began.
“It was on the occasion of a board
of trade outing in honor of a retir
ing district official and his successor,
and Doctor Koo liad been called on to
address the gathering. ‘You Ameri
cans, I am compelled to conclude, are
blithe liars,’ he announced with a
twinkle in his eye. ‘You say you are
sorry that one official is leaving, and
yet turn around and tell his succes
sor that you are glad he Is taking the
other man’s place!’ ” Washington

“Pushball” Played With Autos.
“Pushball,” a game which is usu
ally played by men on foot, was en
joyed receutly by the driverg of six
automobiles and numerous interested
spectators, says an illustrated article
in Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
ears were stripped of windshields and
tops, lined up at opposite ends of the
field, and, at a given signal, furiously
charged the large Inflated ball. Al
though the sport was necessarily
rough, considerable skill was evidenced
by the different drivers In averting
mishaps, and when the game was
finished it was found that none of the
machines had suffered the slightest
damage in any way.
Motors in Field Work.
Motty vehicles are used for many
agricultural purposes at the University j
of Missouri. A runabout Is used by \
field representatives of the department !
of entomology for nursery inspection.
A delivery wagon -and a runabout are |
employed by the horticultural depart
ment for handling orchard and garden
products.
Three touring cars serve the college j
of agriculture In making soil surveys, i
A heavy truck Is used for demonstra
tion trips In the agricultural extension
work. A runabout is provided for the
superintendent of the hog cholera j
serum plant.
City-Bred.
The son of a New Vorker, who last
year moved to a New England town,
was at once entered In one of the pub
lic schools.
One day he was told to write a sen
tence containing the word “copse.”
Now, as the word had a familiar sound
and he was from the city, his sentence
read:
‘The boy dodged the cops.”—Ex
