Perhaps a newspaper reporter is not more intelligent on general subjects than the average person, but his very business brings him n contact with many things of-which ;he general public knows nothing. \iid it is his business to publish such 'acts as constitute legitimate news. A Worthy Institution We have in mind just now the Red 3ross. It is common to hear persons ay the work of the Red Cross is over, is the war is over. Such persons real y mean well, bnt the statement is jased upon a lack of knowledge of ;he facts. We have visited the office >f the Home Service department and isked for information. Should we robliah all the records there offer, ?ur people would be astounded inleed. The records exhibit the names >f persons helped whose publication vould open the eyes of .the dullest 3nt the service is always intelligently endered, and dvery case is thoroughy investigated. There is no haphazard way, about it. HTnvestigations ead into'mazes often, but are folowed through all devious trails unil an intelligent and wise judgment nay be formed. Of course, emergency aid is always rendered, but is alvajys followed by investigation. Eighty-Three Cases Helped In the test sixty days eighty-three jases have been aided, or an average >f considerably more than one day. tad the help was needed, and was raluable to the recipient. Sickness Institution, emergency need, accident, dl these causes led to service. Women rhose husbands were soldiers have sailed for assistance many times, rhen assistance was directly needed. A mere recitation of the list of lases aided would prove interesting rnly to the'curious. But a statement >f the fact that hardly a day passes rithiut its applicant for aid tells a rrach stronger tale. / Children 'Appeal The appeal of a helpless child never alls upon deaf ears.

Nor is the service to either of them at an end. Many benevolently-inclined folk :eally desire to serve where their ervice is needed. Any such person :aring to learn of places where they nay serve most effectively would do veil to visit the office of the Home Service department and ask the tecretary for specific cases to help, tad we are making this suggestion Jttrely upon our own initiative, without the knowledge of the secretary. YEW CENSUS MEANS MORE CONGRESSMEN Washington, Nov. 30. ?Special: Svery tea years, following the decennial ?ensus, Congress proceeds inder the Constitution to change the rise of the numerical unit of popuation on which membership in the 3ouse of Representatives is phased.. This not only means changes in the lumber of Beprsenfatives which the 3tates, or most of them will have in the popular branch of Congress, but n many cases it means a reapportionment of the districts by state legislatures within the states themselves? additions or subtraction of counties in some districts to fit the new unit even where there is no gain or loss of districts in the state, and a much more complicated process of rearrangement where a district may be lost or gained. Seating Problem Troublesome If the United States, proper shall beshown to have 107,000,000 inhabitants by the census of 1920, which is about the figure expected the membership of the House would rise to 504. It is now 495. The seats occupied by the members would have f/v Ka numtvaH tn ffilro core cif the overplus. . At the last change the individual desks and chairs were removed and long carving benches were substituted. This process of narrowing the seats cannot be carried indefinite ly, of course. The next step, if the House went on increasing in size would presumably be to seat some ol the mmebers (presumably the "fresh \ I".. - J..-.. - men") in the galleries. t Possible Gains and Losses. t , Should Congress retain the present c , district unit of 211,300 which in prac- li tice means that size or any other size not deviating from it more than a a majority fraction the following states a would gain representatives m iuc x lower house: Virginia 1; North Carolina 2; South Carolina, 2; Georgia, 2; o Florida, 1; Alabama, 2; Mississippi, p 2; Louisiana, 1; Texas, 4; Maryland, ji 1; West Virginia, 1; Tennessee, 1; m Arkansas, 2; New York, 8; Pennsylvania, 6; Oklahoma, 4; Ohio, 3; California, 4; Colorado, 1; Connecticut, 1; Indiana, 1; Kansas, 1; Massachusetts, 2; New Mexico, 1; North ^ Dakota, 1; Oregon, 1; South Dakota, 1 and Wisconsin, 1. V. , On the other hand, if Congress decided to hold the membership of the House to its present size, it would be p necessary to increase the population in the Congressional unit to about 245.000 on the basis of the new cen sus as estimated. 'Keeping the membership to the present total would in all probability cause the following states to lose congressmen in^ the _ number indicated: Virginia, Vermont; L Nebraska, Maryland, Maine, Ken- '1 tricky, Illinois, 1 each; Missouri, Iowa, , and Indiana, 2 each. At the same time gains would probably be made ^ by the following states in the number ^indicated: California, Oklahoma, and Washington, 2 each; New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregan, and " Texas, 1 each. Compromise Then Likely An increase of. the s^rae percentage . as that of 1910, when reprize of the 11 House was raised from a membership of 391 to 433, would , give the House 482 members and would raise the unit to about 222,000. Under this plan probably no state would lose a F representative..' How does it happen that the House now has 435 members, although the p number was only 433 by the reapportionment of11911? The additional two . members were brought in during the p ensuing decade by the admission of Arizona apd New Mexico as States. Those two new states added over 4 per cent to the Senate's membership; while they were affecting the House membership by less than one-half of 1 percent.
