FLORIDA LEADS RELIEF RECORDS Heads Major Disasters of 1926. Red Cross Active in 62 Emergencies in Year. meee ALSO SERVES FOREIGN LANDS een Preparedness to Cope with Great Disturbances Gives Good Results in Action. Facing one of the largest rehabilita- tion efforts of its whole history, as a result of the Florida hurricane, the American Red Cross already had be- hind it a record of service in 62 dis- asters at home, up to the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1926. When the hurricane struck Florida with such devastation and loss of life, the Red Cross National Headquarters was just congratulating itself that a year had passed without a major dis- aster within the borders of the coun- try. The destruction in Florida has been tentatively estimated by Direc- tor of Disaster Relief Henry L. Baker, of the American Red Cross, in terms of relief work ahead of the organiza- tion. This takes into account all suf- ferers who must be cared for. Jareful surveys by experienced au- chorities place the injured at 4,000, exclusive of the stricken Gulf Coast cities of Moorehaven and Clewiston. Of the 1,200 injured sent to Miami hospitals, 500 were suffering with ma- jor fractures. In two other east coast communities the injured numbered nearly 1,000. The homeless were con- servatively estimated at 50,000. Such figures sketch only vaguely the human and material problem which the American Red Cross is still doing its utmost to solve. For cemparison the other outstand- mg recent disaster, the Midwest tor- nado of March 18, 1925, can be de- scribed in more detail. In that catas- trophe the final check showed 800 dead, 3,000 injured and 6,847 families of approximately 30,000 men, women and children rendered homeless. The final relief operations of the Red Cross were brought to a close March 18, 1926, exactly a year from the day the tornado struck five states. Bo terrible did the death and de- strutcion impress itself on the experi- enced Red Cross forces rushed into Florida that Chairman John Barton Payne did not hesitate to call for a relief fund from the whole country of $5,000,000. The Red Cross concen- trated every resource in trained per- sonnel on ‘thd stricken region.” The New Jersey munitions explo sion, in July, while terrible as a spec: tacle, could not compare with either of these other two disasters in final destructiveness. It gave the Red Cross an opportunity for service in which Red Cross nurses treated 86 injured. and during the height of the eme: gency fed between 700 and 800 peo ple driven from their homes. More than 400 cases were registered with the Red Cross after the explosions for assistance in regaining their hold on life through rehabilitation work. This latter is a regular part of the Red Cross relief operations in all dis- asters, and means a task continued long after the country has ceased to think of the occurrence itself. The year has seen a new measure of disaster relief preparedness inau- gurated by the Red Cross, under which a trained reserve of medical and other relief experts is constantly on call for any service. This prepar- edness justified itself in both the New Jersey explosion, and in the Florida hurricane. In the latter the Red Cross had at call more than 300 experienced disaster workers with a network of prepared Chapters all over the coun- try. This preparedness, constantly demonstrated, is cited as material as- surance that the country is better protected today than ever before from the suffering such misfortunes engen- der. Bad as were domestic disasters in ooth the last fiscal year and recent months, some of those abroad in the same time have been comparable, es- pecially a flood in Mexico. Altogether the American Red Cross served in the name of the American people in more than 15 foreign catastrophes. The Tenth Annual Roll Call for membership to maintain such activi: ties will be held from November 11 to 25, and is an opportunity for all to enroll themselves in the American Red Cross. PARIS CUSTOMS THAT SURPRISE. Washington.—Americans recently have been reminded on high author- ity that they will find many things that are different in Paris, and that it is the part of courtesy, as well as common sense, to accept the Parisian ways of doing things when one is in Paris. There is no doubt about the differ- ence in many customs, says a bulle- tin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. Sometimes the Parisian way seems most welcome, at other times it seems strange, but in either event, one has not far to look to find there is a reason back of every custom. At times the Parisian seems to have outdone his American friends in effi- ciency. For example, there is the bill- ing device of some of the larger side- walk cafes. Each plate and cup bears a price mark—50 centimes, one franc, etc., and the refreshments are served in containers bearing the proper cost mark. If a second cupful of choco- late is ordered, the empty cup will be set to one side, and another cupful bearing the price mark served. When the customer is ready to pay, he does not have to depend on the memory of the waiter, or scan a bill of fare, nor does the waiter have to juggle with checks. The addition of the empty containers is obviously the amount of his bill. In contrast is the rather cumber- some method of booking a seat in a Paris theatre. In some theatres, at least, one must first purchase the right to sit in a certain part of the house—the orchestra, balcony or a box. This coupon then must be tak- en to another desk to have a seat as- signed. Even if one buys a designat- ed seat, this exchange always is nec- essary. FINDING A THEATRE SEAT. The patron next turns to a head usher, who leads him to the program seller, and after he has purchased 2a program, a custom which also prevails in English theatres, he encounters the peculiar Parisian practice of having an usher charge to show him to a seat. And there is little hope of his finding his own seat because seats are identified only by numbers, not by rows which are lettered, and then numbered by rows. The American, impatient at his cir- cuitous progress to his seat, and hav- ing reached into his pocket three or four times so far, is apt to become an- noyed and conclude he is being over charged. This often is his feeling even when he was buying a seat which, at an exchange rate of about 3 cents for the franc, cost him less than $2, even adding in the price of program, the price of being shown to his seat, and the 50 centimes collect- ed if he went to a lavatory between the acts. This price is for the best orchestra i seat in the best theatres in Paris, when comparable locations would have cost him $4 or $5 in any New i York theatre, even without the specu- lator’s tax which he would have to pay there for popular shows. And the Parisians have reasons for each of the charges; for there is not one, but there are several taxes, lev- ied on theatre seats, and these vary with the locations in the house. Several features of the best Pari- sian theatres, however, must appeal to even the casual visitor. One is the large amount of standing room pro- vided for and sold at a low price, so that any one who is alone, wishes to | remain only an hour, or is skeptical i about the merits of a show, may go in for a short time, and go on his way without having expended the full price of a seat. Another feature which adds to the enjoyment of Paris thes- tre attendance is the large promenade ' and refreshment rooms which permit a stroll between acts and make it pos- sible to sit down at a table and enjoy a beverage or a smoke, or to walk ' about and do some “window shopping” at the many displays and exhibitions which merchants have contracted for i in these super-lobbies. The length of ‘intermission, of course, is much long- | er than those in American theatres, | frequently being from 20 to 30 min- | utes. THE SEARCH FOR SOAP. Another difficulty which the visitor in Paris might as well make up his mind to accept is that his hotel room, no matter what the price, nor how elegantly it may be furnished and pro- vided with every other comfort, is not going to have any soap. One expla- nation of this lack may be in the fact that all toilet articles are expensive, being heavily taxed; a more plausible one, in view of the fact that good Paris hotels stop at no expense or pains for their guests’ comfort, is that the Parisian regards the soap he uses much as we do a toothbrush, as a pe- culiarly personal and individual thing, not to be provided by some one else. Ice is scarce in Paris, as it is in England. In neither London nor Paris is the climate such that cold drinks are necessary to comfort; anyway, the Europeans may be right in their belief that chilled drinks impede the processes of digestion. Many Amer- ican doctors concur; and nobody will argue with the French about gastro- nomic topics. It is almost unnecessary to inquire “Where is a good place to eat in Paris?” One can hardly go wrong if he visits a Paris cafe serving Pari- sians, and having the earmarks of a reasonably good establishment. Here again the Parisian habit, which pre- vails all over Europe, of allocating small charges which we simply sum up in “overhead” may give rise to mis- understanding. At the price of the franc in recent months one may eat, in any French hotel or cafe, which is not one of the few places especially designed to cater to “foreigners,” a bountiful meal, prepared by the world’s best chefs at a price which seems ridiculously low. At French cafes which are world-famous for their cuisine, it is hard for one to spend more than the equivalent of a dollar for a meal. Yet the charges on the bill, included in that amount for cover service, and even for napkin, be- ing unexpected, loom large in the vis- itor’s mind. The extreme thrift of the French is nowhere better illustrated than in some of the smaller cafes where reg- ular patrons file their napkins in a sort of rack, suggestive of the rows of shaving mugs in our old-time bar- ber shops and pay once a week for the laundry of that bit of linen. STREET CARS AND TAXIS, On a street car in Paris one pays only for the distance he wishes to ride. This is done by zoning the routes, and requires considerable bookkeeping on the part of the ¢on- ductor, and also obliges the passen- ger to keep his receipt to be shown on demand, if he remains on the car to another zone. : Few visitors patronize street cars; the taxis are too convenient and too cheap. The tariffs are ridiculously low. Here again, however, arise mis- understandings because after eleven o'clock at night taxi drivers can put down their white metal flag (which ordinarily means that the taxi is emp- ty and is required to accept any fare at the regular tariff) and may charge double fare. Unfortunately the me- ters do not register the excess fare, the driver usually cannot speak enough English to explain the reason for asking twice as much as the me- ter indicates, and there ensue frequent arguments. No one can be in Paris long with- out being impressed by the courtesy of the policemen; Americans, however, may fail to note, or noting the fact they may rebel at the custom which is to touch one’s hat to a policeman when asking him a question. Now the Frenchman who is one of the most liberty-loving and independent per- sons in the world, sees nothing de- meaning in that practice. And any- one who does it receives a salute and a bow in return which more than atones for his pains. A visitor in Paris cannot help won- dering what would happen if the po- licemen, public officials, shop keepers and many pedestrians on the down- town streets of any American city were some month suddenly to be ac- costed all day long by foreigners who either addressed them in a strange tongue or bombarded them with ques- tions in lame efforts to speak their own language. But that is what oc- curs in all the boulevards and prin- cipal streets of Paris during the heavy tourist seasons; and the courtesy with which the Parisian, official or layman, tries to understand and, understand- ing, the trouble he takes to give in- formation or directions, is one of the finest evidences of his innate courtesy. Red Cross Life-Saving Service Is Nation-Wide Scarcity of water apparently has no effect on interest in water rescue. Arizona, popularly associated with wide desert stretches and cactus, has gone in with enthusiasm for the Red Cross Life-Saving program. The building of new irrigation dams is rapidly transforming Arizona into a swimming State despite popu- lar conception of that country. In more than 800 swimming insti- tutes conducted by the Red Cross the last summer, life-saving instruction was given by the Red Cross. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, 7,145 men, 5,408 women, and 16,713 juniors passed the rigid tests of the Red Cross Life-Saving Service, and were awarded insignia. The to- tal for the year of 29,266 represents an increase of 6,374 over the previous year. The total membership of this corps at the close of the year was 102,076. The Tenth Annual Roll Cail from November 11 to 25 is an opportunity to encourage these efforts through membership in the Red Cross. rhe Tenth Annual Roll Cell of the american Red Cross is held this year from November 11 to 25. It is an in- vitation to you to endorse with your membership its wide reaching ser- vice to humanity. —Subscribe for the Watchman. GOITRE REMOVED Without Xnife, Needle, Pain or .Stain. Liniment Used.

The weather bureau says that “light moon” or “light of the moon” means all that time during which the moon is above the horizon through the fore part of the night, or from dusk to bed time—11 o’clock p. m., for in- stance. “Dark moon” or “dark of the moon” means all the rest of the time, or all the time that is not “light of the moon.” But this is not the popu- lar conception of the terms. The pop- ular theory is that “light of the moon” is the time when the moon is going from “new” to “full,” and “dark of the moon” when the moon is on the wane. The fact is the terms are purely popu- lar and have so scientific significance whatever.—Pathfinder Magazine.
