850 DISASTER DEATH
i TOLL FOR ONE YEA
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 R
* lief When 65,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three disasters, resulting
the death in the United States of 8
persons and the injury of 2,500 call*
for emergency relief measures ai
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by t
American Red Cross during the fisc
year ending June 30, 1921, says i
announcement based upon the fort
coming annual report of the Red Croi
These disasters caused property dai
age estimated at $30,000,000, affect
sixty-seren communities and render
65,000 families homeless.
The year's disasters were of vai
ing types, including several which pi
vioualy had never been thought
as falling within that classify
tion. The Red Cross furnish
relief In seventeen fires of magnitui
five floods, seven tornadoes or <
Clones, one ucTOsiauiii eiviui, uu
explosions, including the one in W
street; one building accident, t
typhoid epidemics, the most serious 1
tag that at Salem, Ohio, which i
fected 9 per cent of the pppulatio
one smallpox epidemic, in the repub
% of Haiti; one train wreck, the race r
; at Tnlsa, Okla.; the famine in Chi:
- emergency relief In famine among t
Indians of Alaska, the grasshop]
plague in North Dakota and an ear
quake in Italy.
Pueblo Most Seriousj
By far the most severe of the <3
asters in the United States during 1
period covered by the Red Cross
port was the Pueblo flood early
June, 1921. The rehabilitation pr<
lem confronting the Red Cross
Puefblo was one of the most diffic
in recent years. When the first ne
of the horror was flashed thro^gb<
the country, the American Red Cr<
National Headquarters responded w
a grant of $105,000 for relief wo
Governor Shoup of Colorado, app
> elating the long and successful expe
ence of the Red Cross in ^organizl
disaster relief work, placed the <
tire responsibility for the administ
tion of relief in its hands.
2n response to appeals from Pre
dent Harding, Governor Shoup a
other governors of western states a
. " through local chapters of the R
Cross and other community organi:
tlons, public-spirited citizens brouj
the total contributed for Pueblo's :
habilitation to more than $325,000.
The terrible havoc wrought by t
flood waters Is a matter of reco:
More than 2,300 homes were affect
and 7,351 persons were left homele
Estimates of $500,000 as an absolt
minimum for rehabilitation were ma
by Red Cross officials in charge of t
relief work.
Fast Work in Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was no
ble in that rel^lf workers of the R
Cross were on the scene twenty m
lites aften the disaster occurred. T
race riot at Tulsa also was unique
disaster relief annals in that outsi
of a small emergency relief fund c(
tributed by the Red Cross, the oi
relief measures outside th? city C(
sisted of the service of social woi
ers, nurses and a trained executi
whose object was to assist local for<
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the p:
rlAns rear, onlv one tornado assum
the proportions of a major disast
This occurred on April 15, in the b<
der sections of Texas and Arkans
with the city of Texarkana as t
center. The significant feature of tl
disaster relief work was the fact tl
It covered so much rnral territory
. to make necessary a large number
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitati
relief expenditures totalling more th
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cn
was by far the most serious of t
foreign disasters in which the B
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administ:
tion of disaster relief measures, an
creasing effectiveness on the part
the Red Cross to deal with emergi
cies was manifested during the pi
year. In 328 Chapters of the Ame
can Red Cross there have been form
special committees to survey the :
sources of their respective commu
ties and to be prepared in case
disaster. In others of the 3,402 act!
Chapters, a network of communicati
has been formed through which instj
taneous relief may be dispatched
any part of the United States.
That its work in this field may
continued with ever greater effect!
ness, the American Red Cross is i
pealing for widespread renewal
membership during its Annual R
Call, to be conducted this year fn
November 11 to 24.

10,000 members, of which 1,276 i
