THE WORK OF RED
CROSS IN ABBEVILLE
The ignorance of the average per
on on the Btreet of the service
rendered by the Red Cros3 is
istounding. 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. A new-born babe
tnd a crippled child form th^ two

>eriod covered by this review. And
K>th received the assistance of the
lepartment. 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.

JUDGE SEES PLAN
TO BLEED PUBLIC
Indianapolis, Dec. 2.?Mine operators
aqd mine workers appear to be
in "cahoots to bleed the public" in
the opinion of Judge A. B. Anderson
of the United States district federal
court. Judge Anderson, who ordered
the rescinding of the strike order, ex
pressed himself today in the course

N ewe cm b was before the court on
a charge of illegal sale of liquor. |
I Judge Anderson was trying to obtain |
I information as to the mine operators' g
* attitude toward the United Mine g
' Workers of America. r
"Doesn't it seem that you are all
i in a conspiracy to milk the public?" |!
