BULK OF WORK BY CHAPTERS 2,397 of These Are Helping ExService Men Obtain Benefits U. S. Provides. On* field of Red Cross service alone, Itiat of assisting disabled veterans of the World War, entails expenditures 14,000,000 greater than the aggregate receipts of the Annual Roll Call of 1920,- the American Red Cross announce* In a statement urging a widespread Increase In membership at the Annual Roll Call, November 11 to 24. At the present time National Head{Barters and the nation-wide chain of Chapters of the Red Cross is spending approximately $10,000,000 annually for the relief of disabled ex-service neb and their families, while the aggregate receipts from last year's Roll Oall were approximately $6,000,000. It Is in the 2,289 of the 3,600 Red Cross Chapters which still pre helping olve the veteran's problem of adjust* tag himself to a normal civilian status that the greater p?rt of the cost of this service t* hoi^.e. Of the total sum pent for veterans' relief last year, National liexilriiarters expended a total of more than $2,600,000, while the remaining disbursement of approximately S7.INJO.O'*) represents the contribution of Chapters in this countrywide effort to assist the Government In providing the aid sorely needed by tlieve men ami their familte* An Ever Expanding Problem That the problem of the disabled ervice wan is ever-expanding and probably will not reach the peak before lniT., is tlie assertion of wefl-in- j formed Government officials and that j 2,397 U?nl < 'puss Chapters regard it ms iheir most important work is evi- j dence that (lie expansion is In nowise confiurd to a particular section but is. on the contrary, nation-wide. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1921, there were 20,300 disabled service men In the 1,692 United States Public Health Service, Contract and Government Hospitals and Soldiers Homes, and that number is increasing at a rate of 1,000 a month. Thousauds of these men receiving medical treatment, compensation and vocational training from the Government today, started their efforts to obtain them through the Red Cross Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the disabled man's agent in claims against the Government, informs the man as to the procedure necessary to gain for him that which is provided him by Federal statute. His applications for compensation, medical treatment and training are properly filed with the aid f the Red Cross Chapter. Many Forms ef Assistance If there is delay before the man's claim is acted upon, the Red Cross; Chapter lends the man money to meet the imperative needs of himself and his dependents. 'Most vital to the man's gaining full benefit from the Government's care is keeping his mind free from worry about his home.

Free from fear on this score, the man's recovery and advancement usually is rapid. Every month during the last year, the American Red Cross has given service of one kind or another to an average of 129,215 former service men and their families. An indication of the extent of the faith reposed in the Red Cross Chapter is to be found in the fact that there were 350,544 requests for friendly aid in the solutlor of personal problems. 44# Workers in Hospital* While the man prior to entering Government care deals largely with the Chapter, afterward he comes Into contact with the service provided by National Headquarters. There are 448 I- TTmI1A<1 neu v^rubs wuracia in me uuticu States Public Health Service and contract hospitals and other Institutions In which these men are being caved for, whose duty Is to provide for his recreation, help him with his compensation claims, keep him in touch with his family; in short, meeting his every need outside of that provided by the Government. While these are a few of the responsibilities of .the National Organization, they are by no means all. Among other Red Cross accomplishments for the year are: It handled 70,732 allotment and allowance claims. It delivered through its Chapter organization 63,055 allotment checks to veterans who had moved from the addresses furnished to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. It provided a special fund of $10,000 for medical assistance to men under vocational training.

'abandoned baby is found in rome Rome, Ga., Nov. 1.?Wrapped in a handsome blanket and well dressed, | a baby, apparently three or four weeks old, was found in the high grass and weeds that line the pavement at No. 1 Brooks avenue last Saturday night It was sent to the Harbin hospital by the chief of police and the captain of the local Sal Ivation Army post. No clue to the child's identity was found on the 'clothing. It was fuond by A. S. Yarbrough, an employee here of the Southern railway, who is on a night shift and was going to work at the,time. He said that he barely missed stepping on it. The baby is a boy and apparently in the best of health. A woman carrying a child iji her arms and seemingly having no other luggage was seen' to get off the Royal Palm train going south at about 10 o'clock Saturday night, but no attention was paid to her, as it was presumed she lived here. The place where the baby was found is about a mile east of the depot. Anderson, Oct. 27.?Reutrning from the football game at Greenville Saturday afternoon, an automobile driven by Dr. F. H. H.

NO FIXED DEFINITION FOR MOTOR TRUCKS ESTABLISHED What is a motor (truck? There is no universally accepted standard of what constitutes a motor truck in the various States, says the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture. As a result, only 13 States have furnished the department with the important data?so essential to road building?as to the sizes of trucks and commercial cars using the Nation's highways during the first six months of 1921. "In some States," says the department, "all motor cars are registered on the same basis; in others, only cars having solid tires are classed as trucks; while in others all motor vehicles used for eanrying freight or merchandise of any kind whatever are classed as trucks. Even those States which provide for a separate registration for motor trucks do not employ the sam? "basis for designating the size of the vehicle. Some States use the total weight of the loaded vehicle, others the weight of the unloeaded vehicle or the weight of the chasis, and still others use such indefinite bases as the horsepower or the cost of the vehicle. The need for definite and uniform information concerning motor trucks in use on roadways is felt, the department says, in the preparation of data which will enalble road builders tofake accurately into consideration the effect of such traffic.
