Many Grow ers Careless in Packing of
. Apples.
Pennsylvania apple growers must use
greater care and in some cases greater
honesty in packing their apples if the
wholesalers of the state and country are
to handle them generally, This fact
bas been established by inspectors for
the Bureau of Markets, Pennsylvania
Department of Agricultore, who during
the past month have conducted an ex.)
tensive survey among the wholesalers of
the state,
As a rule it has been found that whole
salers have refused to handle Pennsyl
vania packed apples unless they have
been packed by some grower whose re-
putation is known to the wholesale
trade. This condition has been brought
about by the fact that in the past grow-
ers have been prone to pack their apples
carelessly, devoting much attention to
the top of the barrel or box and neglect.
ing the middle and bottom of the pack-
age entirely,
As a corrective measure, the Buaread
of Markets is having apples in many
sections of the state graded and packed
and it is believed that the grading and
packing regulations, if promulgated and
made permanent, will do much toward
securing a permanent place for Pennsyl.
vania apples on the wholgsale market,

Enormous Number of Lives Saved by
Rud Cross In Influenza Epidemic,

ties.
The extent to which the American
Red Cross hits entered into the lives
of the people at large in the Pennsyl-
vania-Delaware Division, comprising
the states of Pennsylvania and Dela-
ware, is not generally known. Duricg
the past year, the first full year of
operation under the comprehensive
peuce program, this great organization
has given ald to more than half a mil-
lion of the population of this state and
Delaware,
The Public Health,
Of all these activities the public
health and pursing service is the most
far-reaching in its effects at the pres
ent time. The Red Cross is actively
co-operating with Dr. Edward Martin,
State Director of Public Health to ald
in the betterment of the public health
and he recognizes the power for good
of the organlzation, Nursing services
nave beer established by many chap
ters of the state, some of them being
Erie, Corry (Erie County), Clarion,
Broukville, iJefferson County); Arm-
strong, Indiana, Westmoreland, Pitts
burgh, Beaver, Mount Pleasant, (West
moreland County) ; Washington, Fay-
ette, Greene, Somerset, Clinton, Cam-
bria, ‘Tioga, Cameron, Ridgway, (Elk
County) ; Franklin (Venango County) ;
Du Bois (Clearfield County); Clear-
tield, Belleforte, (Center County);
Moshannan (Center County); State
College (Center County); Huntingdon,
fulton, Juniata, Fraoklin, (Fraokiin
County) ; Wayne, Lebanon, Wyoming
Valley, Wilkes-Barre, (Luzerne Coun
ty); Pike, Greater Berwick, (Colum-
bia County) ; Danville (Moatour Coun-
ty); Monroe, Carbon, Catasauqua,
{ Lehigh County) ; Allentown, Mahanoy
City, Bethlehem, (Northampton Coup
ty); Harrisburg, Southeastern Penn
sylvania (services established Ic
Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Del
aware Counties): Wallingford (Dela-
ware County); Lancaster, York, Do
pora, {Washington County), and four
established in the state of Delaware.
During the first six months of the
year Ilo the nursing service in Penn-
sylvania, the public wealth purses
made 44.537 visits. There are now
sixty-five pursing services established
and eighty-four nurses are employed
in the public health services
The astounding number of visits
made during the year to the sick who
are unable to secure proper attention
for themselves may be seen when it
is considered ghat each nurse makes
about 115 visits a month. In the Tioga
chapter, for example, the three nurses
employed by that Chapter made 1510
calls, and about this same proportion
is maintained in the other Chapters
in another Chapter, prompt Rel Cross
meastres preve-ted an epidemic.
Teaching First Ald.
Scarcely second to tte public health
education and nursing service, are the
classes for the teaching of First Ald
to the Injured. In the United States
as a whole, there are about 100,000
fatal accidents annually, and fully
500,000 which do not result fatally.
Pennsylvania, as a great manufactur
ing and mining state, with about one
twelfth of the population of the coun
try. can therefore count on at least
8500 fatal accidents and about 45,000
non-fatal nes, each year,
fiut a non-fatal accident may easily
result in the death of the victim un-
less prompt and efficient ald be given,
and this is what the Red Cross First
Ald teaches. It is impossible to esti
mate the number of lives saved iu
Pennsylvania and Delaware by the
fled Cross during the past year by
means o its First Ald classes, but it
must be a very considerable namber.
During the first six months of 1020
the Red Cross conducted 41 First Ald
classes in which there were 1245 stu-
dents, of whom 711 received certifi-
cates of graduation, This number will
be greatly Increased before the close
of the year.
Among the Chapters which have
added first ald courses to thelr ac
tivities are: Erie, Crawford, Warren,
Brookville (Jefferson County) ; Oil City
(Venango County); Punxsutawney
(Jefferson County) ; - Armstrong, Indl.
ana, Butler, Beaver, New Kensington
(Westmoreland County); Pittsburgh,
Latrobe (Westmoreland County): Do
tora (Washington County); Mount
Pleasant (Westmoreland) ; Somerset,
Fayette, Greene, Snyder, Greater Ber.
wick (Columbia County); Danville
(Montour County); Southeastern
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and the
Delaware Chapter,
the Red Cross Chapters stood gallantly
by the families of the vietims, giving
food, fuel nnd money where necessary,
until the unfortunutes were again self-
supporting. Fully 100,000 cases were
administered to in this state and Dela-
ware by the Red Cross, und many lives
were thus saved which otherwise
wiontll hnve heen sacrificed.
The teaching of Home Nursing by
the Red Cross is another most lmpor-
tant activity. Ninety per cent of all
cases of Illness are nursed in the home
and with this percentage, home ours-
ing Is of the first importance.
During the first six weeks of 1920,
the Red Cross conducted 226 classes in
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick,
77 Instructors teaching £840 students,
most of whoin passed satisfactory ex-
aminations, .
This great record was made by a
large number of the Chapters, as the
Home Hyglene eonurse is instantly rec
ognized as a thorougiily practical one
and it is taught by actual demonstra-
tion as weli as precept. Tioga County
graduated 420 pupils and Lycoming,
Potter, Union, Kane, McKean County,
Wilkes-Barre, and many other chap-
ters had notably tine records.
Home Service Work,
This activity grew out of the war,
and among those Chapters which have
secured permission to extend home
service to civilian families are Mercer,
Beaver, Titusville (Crawford County) ;
Forest, Oil City (.enango County);
Punxsutawney {Jefferson County) ;
Indiana, Perry, Westmoreland, Latrobe
{ Westmoreland County) ; Fayette,
Somerset, Wyndber (Somerset Coun-
ty); Cambria. Huntingdon, Mifflin,
Juniata, Harrisburg, Southeastern
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,
jucks, Chester, Delaware and Mont
gomery Counties; Southern Schuylkill
Carbondale (Lackawanna County);
Fastor (Northampton County); Ad-
ams, and the Delaware Chapter. A
oumber of other Chapters have made
appticution for this permission,

by the Red Cross, the
these entertainments reaching about
100,000, Thus Home Service alone
came into contact with alufhst 200,000
persons in the state,
Specific cases of what Home Service
has done might be multiplied indefi-

year and the Beaver County Home
