by the Red Cross according to Wil-
liam M. Baxter division manager of
the southwestern division which is
composed of the states of Colorado
New Mexico Texa». Oklahoma Ark-

success of the work depends on local
chapters outlining a program showing
contributors exactly how their sub-
scriptions arc being used be said.
In explaining the work being slone
by the national organization. Mr. Bax-
ter stated that an extensive program
of post-war work is still being done.
The cost of this work will agregate
over $2.OO<klKMI this year. About 140

What They Do.
Red Cross workers direct the activi-
ties of the patients in the hospital for
mental patients at Little Rock car-
ing for them on picnic trips into the
woods providing girls to take part
in dances nnd doing everything pos-
• sible to keep the patients in n whole-
some frame of mind.
Another large branch of the nation-
al work consists of emergency ser-
vice in time of disaster. Mr. Baxter
states. Within four hours after a
cyclone had destroyed Colorado City.
Tex. the chapters at El Pa«» and
Eort Worth had wired national head-
quarters that they were ready to dc-
’ part for that place where there was
no active chapter. Approximately 74
pet cent of all chapters are in coun-

HOW KEI) CROSS WORKS.
William N. Baxter Says' a Natural
Program Js Needed.
To accomplish definite results full
and complete programs national in
* scope are necessary for Red
work is the opinion of William N.
Baxter principal speaker iu the
morning meeting of the regional con-
fernce of the American Red Cross
-held in San Antonio Monday.
Mr. Baxter illustrates his poiut by
'citing several < n-cs of ex-service men.
sOne man joined the army in New
‘York under an assumed name as a
'single man. He was injured and de-
'velopcd tuberculosis and was admp-
|ted w> the hospital in this part cf
.the country. He was receiving com-
’pensatiou under the name he had
enlisted with which did not allow
him any money for the support of
bis family.
He finally confided what he had
hlone to the Red Cross worker in
his hospital who had to bring all the
machinery of the organization into
play to prove that he was the man
he claimed to be to prove that he was
.legally married and that he was en-
titled to dependency compensation
and to reinstate him legally. Fing-r
prints birth certificates and affi-
davits <>f every gind had to be gotten
together before the government could
reinstate him. legally. These proofs
had to be gathered through Red Cross
Chapters in every part of the country
‘’where the man had lived and brought
every part of the service into play.
Not Always Money.
Sometimes the service given is not
a question of money but of experi-
enced advice. A tubercular patient
from Arkansas had been followed to
This part of the country by his wife
and small child in order to live near
him. . The wife had developed tuber-
culosis from him through ignorance
of proper sanitation and it was fear-
ed that the child might do the snrne
thing. The man's compensation from
the government was sufficient to pro-
vide for his family but the problem
"as to persuade his wife to take suf-
ficient care of herself and of her
baby and to niduce her to stay away

Through the Red Cross worker in
Arkansas who made suitable arrange-
ments for the woman aud the baby
the worker here finally induced her
to return to her own people so the
man's mind could be easy about his

Seventy-five per cent of the Red
Cross chapters of the country are lo-
cated in counties where less than 25-
000 people live and while it is not pos-
sible to make the same programs for
so small a locality that a larger com-
munity requires it is absolutely neces-
sary to have a definitely standardizi d
plan of work for the Red Cross ail
over the country to acomplish satis-
factory results.
Three Phases of Work.
Mr. Baxter speaks of the Red
Cross program of today as being
roughtly speaking considered as three
divisions the work of which may
merge as required. They are: “Post
war." which is largely ntional in
character and considers everything in
regard to ex-service men. their health
their families work or business
finances compensation : "emergency.”*
which deals with sudden disasters like
floods fires earthquakes and "com-
munity service." which is divided into
four sections of service—nursing home
conditions health and sanitation and
the juniorship membership work.
Mr. Baxter is the division mana-
ger of the Southwestern division of
the American Red Cross which has
its headquarters in St. Louis. His first
Red Cross work was done near San
Antonio when lie came hero six
years afgo to give three months' ser-
vice on the Mexican border to oblige
a friend who was ill.
“4 never bad the slightest idea of
becoming a Red Cross worker when
I went into the work but that is six
years ago and I am still here." Mr.
Baxter said. For two years ho ha I

GOVERNMENT HILL
METHODIST CHURCH
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Bishop James E. Dickey
Preaches Opening
Sermon.
The Government Hill Methodist
church. Grayson nnd Pine streets was
dedicated Sunday morning by Bishop
James E. Dickey assisted by Dr.
Casper S. Wright presiding elder
and Rev. J. W. Rowland pastor of
the church. This church which is said
to be one of the best working plants
in the city cost $115000 including the
lets and the parsonage located imme-
diately west of the church. The church
was tastily decorated with roses
palms and ferns.
Bishop Dickey delivered an elo-
quent sermon before proceeding with
the dedication ceremony: selecting ns
his text a portion of the first verse
of the 32d chapter of the book of
Exodus: "Up. make us gods which
shall go before us: for as for this
Moses we wot not what has become of
him."
The bishop declared that many peo-
ple make for themselves idols but few
of them worship the things themselves
but that which they represent. For
example few people worship money
but they crave the gold for it can
bring to them. It may be power social
position or something else that money
can bring. Money opens the way to
many things.
"Israel was in slavery in a land
of idolatry anil when the proclama-
tion went forth that n lender was nt
hand- to break their shackles nnd lend
them to a Whd flowing with milk nnd
honey they wanted to go. Who
wouldn't want to leave a life of
slavery for a home of freedom in a
land flowing with milk and honey?
"Fidlowing Moses the waters of the
sen rolled back before them and we
can almost hoar th" notes of Miriam's
sing of victory on the shore. Then the
rocks opened lip to give them writer
to drink and maipia was rained from
the clouds to meet their hunger.
"Mount Sinai Inis been reached and
Moses is summoned into the mount
for a conference with the Almighty.
of the Southwest:
who is to give the laws they are to
follow written on the tables of stone.
"The Israelites become restless and
get in a great hurry to go to Canaan.
They want to go right now. ami they
want to go their own way. so they
cry out to Aaron to make them gods
to go before them into the promised
land. The brother of Moses takes
their gold and fashions them a calf
around which they dance and with
great enthusiasm declare it to be their
god to lead them to the land of prom-
ise.
"Just so today people want to go
to heaven but they want to go their
own way. and without paying the
price. They want freedom. hut the
freedom eraved if granted would lead
to wreck and ruin.
“Tear down your court houses and
your churches nnd declare a wide open
tewn without law or moral restraint.
Many foolish ones would follow such
leadership and it would lead to Bolshe-
vism."
Bishop Dickey expressed his pleas-
ure at being privileged to dedicate the
church.
Mrs. Dickey accompanied the bishop
to Sim Antonio nnd they have been
guests of Dr. and Mrs. C. S. Wright
nt the district parsonage 1735 West
Ashby Place for several days.
ADDRESS STIRS JEWS
Author Says Pairs!lne Has Been “Po-
litically Mishandled.”
New York. Ort. 15.—A sonant! ml
address by Israel Zangwill author and
publicist who arrived recently from
Great Britain was being discussed by
delegates as the American Jewish Con-
gressTesumed its sessions today.
Speaking in Carnegie Hall last night
he declared Enron" was hotbed of
strife nnd asserted the Jejvs must fore-
go their political hopes to Palestine
rather than “throw a match into such
a powder factory as the globe has be-
come."
He declared Palestine had been “po-
litically mishandled" bv England and
that* the Balfour declaration. which
was intended to give the Jews a home-
land. had degenerated into a “scrap of
wh'te paper.”
American Jews he said. had a
chance tn save America from infidelity
lo her mission of salvation for Eurone.
Ue deplored the existence of the Ku
Klux Klan in America but declared it
has not yet arrived at ‘full European
blood-thirstiness.”
