BED CROSS PUTS i UP $9,739,872 Year’s Budget Stresses Relief \ and Services at Home I and Overseas. > MILLIONS FOR VETERAN AID Over 53.000.000 Allotted to the Disabled —Foreign Work Lessens. 't " ■ t 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 furnished to Chapters; SIOO,OOO for nnforeaeen contingencies.

DOLLAR PAY UP TODAY 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 Star. • “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.

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 change.
