follow :ir completion of a study of
the demands which tho past year
i ,a le on all branches of the Red

He stressed particularly the In

as pointing to the need for an In
created membership to aid In carrying
the crowing rt spons blllty in this fl-dd
"For several years our membership
has remained at a 11'tie more than
2,000,000 adlibs," he s.ild. Wo are
proud of till member: hip. It is «
body of .r ihelco spirits, but there
are many more of lll;e spirit who
should be combed in this Poll Call
We need at least ;i.0m'i,000 adult mem
bors. We are obliged to draw annu-
ally upon our n - rves, and the do
mands upon u lnereaai each year
Our Roll Call funds should meet our
normal needt and add something to
otir reserves for the great disasters.
We must have a large reserve. No
one can tell when a situation may
arise when this reserve will he essen
tlal to the lives of thousands.
"The Red Cross cannot wait to
raise funds," Jjdre Payne declared.
"Act. a prompt, instant, Is Its life.
Instant action means the lives of
many. It must be strong, It must be
ready; this means a large reserve."

marked the year's service of the
American Red Cross In this Held The
outstanding health accomplishment
was the auri"--sful conclusion of the
emergency health program launched
as part of the relief work In the Mis
sissippl Valley flood In co-operation
with State and Federal health agen
cles, the R d Cross .successfully con-
ducted a campaign designed to pre-
vent epidemics as a result of Hood
conditions.
Thousands were Immunized against
typhoid and smallpox, preventive
measures aralnst malaria were un-
dertaken. and as the fit "d receded an
Intensive ch-an-up program was set
In motion to purify water supplies,
provide sanltatv surroundings of ru
ral communii *• and complete other
health proto. :\t- steps.

muulty nursing and health services
throughout the country. Nurse In-

the Red Cr -s also extended train
ing In Home Hygiene and Care of the

the latter In educational institutions
In certain instances. Every State,
Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, the
Philippines, Porto Rico, and the Vir-
gin Islands, had Home Hygiene
classes which showed a large in
crease.
One contribution to national health
achieving a growing recognition Is
the nutrition instruction service,
through which thousands of adults
and school children are learning the
proper foods for health and the funda-
mentals of correct food habits in re-
lation to h“alth. Classes Include
housewives, school children, fost-r-
mothers, policewomen, women having
charge of homes and Institutions,
business girls and students In uni-
versities and colleges.

able for disaster relief service, epi-
demics and other serious emergen-
cies, and are on call for duty with the

THE VERDICT OF
NUMBERS
Most people know what they want. They
may not get it at first.
Experience is often a bitter teacher.
But in the end they get the best—in tires,
as in other things.
Among the baffling claims of rival manu-
facturers and the alluring inducements of
price cutting, special discounts, and “deals,”
the judgment of numbers stands out unde-
niable. It goes straight home.

lief of millions of motorists that Goodyear makes The
World’s Greatest Tire.

year.

year, 5() per cent more than any competitor.
