850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 Re-
lief When 65,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three disasters, resulting In
the death in the United States of 830
persons and the injury of 2,500 called
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
American Red Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1921, says an
announcement based upon the forth-
coming annual report of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam-
age estimated at $30,000,000, affected
sixty-seven communities and rendered
65,000 families homeless.
The year's disasters were of vary-
ing types, including several which pre-
viously had never been thought of
as falling within that classifica-
tion. The Red Cross furnished
relief in seventeen fires of magnitude,
five floods, seven tornadces or cy-
clones, one devastating storm, three
explosions, including the one in Wall
street; one building accldent, two
typhoid epidemics, the most serious be-
ing that at Salem, Ohio, whieh af:
fected 9 per cent of the population:
one smallpox epidemic, in the republic
of Haiti; one train wreck, the race riot
at Tulsa, Okla.; the famine in China.
emergency relief in famine among the
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague in North Dakota and an earth-
quake in Italy.
Pueblo Most Serious
By far the most severe of the dis-
asters in the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re-
port was the Pueblo flocd early In
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob-
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
in recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the Araerican Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorad», appre-
clating the long and successful experi:
ence of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility for the administra
tion of relief in its hands.
In response to appeals from Presi
dent Harding, Governor Shoup anl
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community or ania
tions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblc’s re-
habilitation to more than $325.000.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters is a matter of record.
More than 2,300 homes were aflected
and 7,351 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $300,¢00 as an absolu‘e
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials in charge of tho
relief work.
Fast Work ir Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota.
ble in that relief workers of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min:
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique in
disaster relief annals in that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted of the service of social work-
ers, nurses and a trained executive
whose object: was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only cne tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
This occurred on April 15, in the bor-
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
rcivef expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious of the
forelgn disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.

tion of disaster relief measures, an in-
creasing effectiveness on the part of
the Red Cross to deal with emergen-
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 328 Chapters of the Amer!-
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the re-
sources of their respective communi-
ties and to be prepared in case of
disaster.
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which instan-
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That its work in this field may be
continued with ever greater effective-
ness, the American Red Cross is ap-
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November 11 to 24.

A Bit of Advice
First—Don’t Delay. Second—Don’t
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache; head-
aches or dizzy spells; if you vest
poorly and are languid in the morn-
ing; if the kidney secretions are irreg-
ular and unnatural in appearance, do
not delay. In such cases the kidneys
often need help.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Bellefonte residents desire more con-
vincing proof of their effectiveness
than the statement of a Bellefonte cit-
izen who has used them and willingly
testifies to their worth?
Mrs. Fred K. Houser, 10 Potter St.,
says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills and found them very beneficial,
in fact, Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me
of very serious kidney trouble. I
glady recommend Doan’s to any one
bothered with weak kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Houser had. Foster-Milburn

PLEASANT GAP.
A man does not quarrel with you
about what you think, but about what
you say. Take your own case; there
i are times when for a whole day you
do not regale us with “sweet violets,”
nor drum more than a dozen tattoos
| on that loose pane of glass. Why?
{ Just because the spirit does not move
you. It is by the same line of rea-
soning that we are enabled to explain

It is not necessary to stop to argue
i that there are no ghosts, because in-
| telligent people do not believe in them.
: Now this may be putting it a little
| strong, for there are some very good
i people who believe in ghosts, haunted
i houses and evil spirits. Such beliefs
‘are more common in Great Britain
than in this country. Ireland has the
| reputation of possessing more super-
stitious inhabitants than any other
| country, but the facts show that it is
scarcely on a par with Scotland, Eng-
land or Germany. The latter is not
so much after ghosts as either of the
others, preferring goblins, spirits gen-
tle spirits and omens. These gentle
| spirits are supposed to shape the des-
| tinies of men, bring health or disease
| to flocks, rain or drought to the crops,
| and peace or war to the nation. They
do not profess to know the nature of
these influences, how they work or
what laws control them. There is no
| use denying the fact that we are all
| touched with superstition. It seems
| to have been born in us.
An occasional wild goose chase is
{ rather enjoyable than otherwise.
| There is a clever admixture of bright

| exertion, frantic efforts and flat fail-
ure. All combined these form a cra-

gaze of a curious and teasing world.

{ its as well as faults. They are rapid

of valuable experience. One chase of
this kind sometimes serves as a review
of all that an individual ever studied
or ever knew. It not only takes him
over familiar grounds, but reveals to
him many rough spots and sharp
snags that he had passed by unnotic-
ed. One peculiarity of a wild goose
is that the farther it flies the higher it
gets, and out of reach of the pursu-
er’s shot gun. A tame goose is dif-
ferent. If pursued diligently for a
time, it stops and permits itself to be
caught and plucked of its soft feath-
ers and strong quills, without a show
of resistance. It is a wise man who
knows a wild goose when he sees it.
I have always contended that sun-
light is a nerve stimulant. Darkness
must therefore be the reverse, as it is
the negative correspondency to the
positive known as light. When the
stimulus is removed, the tone of the
entire nervous system is lowered. This
is so marked in nearly all species of
birds that, with the approach of dark-
ness, they became drowsy and seek
their roosts. They are also more ea-
sily frightened. This is due to the
well established fact that nerves that
have become weakened, and have lost
their tone, are more easily disturbed
than when in proper tone. This ap-
plies with equal force to man, as many
events which can easily be recalled
will clearly show. That which would
create no fright at all in daytime may
start a panic at night. In times of
war, armies take advantage of this
well-known disposition and make night
attacks. The best time is thought to
ing, for then the sleepers are morc
drowsy than at any other period. If
surprised at such a time they are apt
to break in all directions, become con-
fused and fall an easy prey to their
assailants. It is to prevent such ca-
tastrophes that picket guards are
strengthened at night, and all the
posts required to stand at arms for an
hour before daybreak. The latter re-
quirement is rarely enforced except
when there is a possibility of an at-
tempted surprise. If the surprise part
of the program miscarries the attack
is given up, because men do not fight
well in the dark. They lack steadiness
and self-control.
