Tho destruction In Florida has | been tentatively estimated by Director of Disaster Relief Henry L. Baker, I of the American Red Cross, In terms I of relief work ahead of the organise-' I tion. This takes into account all sufferers who must be cared for. Careful surveys by experienced authdritles place tho Injured at 4,000, exclusive of the stricken Gulf Coast cities of Moorehaven and Clewlston. j Of the 1,200 injured sent to Miami hospitals, 500 were suffering with inn- I Jor fractureB. In two other east coast I communities the injured numbered nearly 1,000. The homeless were con-I. servfttively estimated at 50,000. 1 Such j figures sketch only vaguely the human I? and material problem which the American Red Cross is still doing its utmost to solve. For comparison the other outstand- . lug recent disaster* the Midwest' tor- J a*de-~ef March 18, 1926, can be described In more detail, .ifrthat catas-J tr op/he the final check showed 8O0 J dead, 3,000 injured and 6,847 families H of approximately 80,000 men, women ] and children rendered homeless.

The Red Cross concen- j i trated every resource In trained per- r sonnol on the stricken region. The New Jersey munitions explo-1 sion, in July, while terrible as a spectacle. could not compare with either of these other two disasters in final ' destructivenens. It gave the Red Cross 1 an opportunity for service in which | Red Cross nurses treated 86 injured, end during the. height of the ems* i gency fed between 700 and 800 peo pie driven $roni their homes. More ' -than 400 cases were registered with < the Red Cross after the explosions 1 for assistance in regaining thOir hol3~ ^ on life through , rehabilitation work. This latter is a regular part of the ; Red Cross relief operations in all dfsand meg.ns a task continued 11 long after the country has ceased to think of the odourrence Itself. The year has seen a new measure of disaster relief preparedness inaugurated -by the R$iL.jCrosa> under which a trained reserve of medical and other relief experts is constantly on call for any service. This preparedness justified Itself In both the Ne.w Jersey explosion, and in the Flerlda hurricane. In the latter the Red Cross had at-call more than 300 experienced disaster workers with a network of prepared Chapters all over the country.. This- preparedness, constantly demonstrated, is cited as material assurancethat the country Is better protected today than ever before from the suffering such misfortunes engen der. Bad as were domestic disasters in both the last fiscal year *n4 recent months, some of those abroad In the iame thus have been comparable, es- , pecially a flood in Mexico. Altogether the American Red Cross served In the name of the American people in more < than 15 foreign catastrophes.

Madame Shumann Heink, Famous Opera Star | |t/WTpOA*TCR)] BIiUfT ; RIWr vflP The great singer tells the world that, "'it isn't necessary for a girl to sacrifice either career or marriage, as they can be successfully combined." Her own life proves it. Madame Schumann Ilcink, neoring 65, brought up children, yet achieved international funve in Opera, one of the most difficult of all professions. Not Neeeasaryi to Sacrifice Career to Marry, Says Famous Singer a - - ? - y---, . ~r ^ [nterviewed for *The Chronicle By ** Staff Correspondent.^?^. I've just spent ? delightful hour with the great Madame Schumann Eieink. But I'm not sure that I'll be ible to tell you a lot about her, because she persisted in asking questions rather than answering them. 3he flattered me so^much by her eviicnt interest in me that the interview , waa-almost over before I reminded myself that I, and not the Madame, was to write the story. She is like that?interested in other people, encouraging them and helping them at every opportunity. Yet she was gdod enough to_ give me the story I went after. Sixty-five years old, the mother of seven children, Madame Schumann. Heink is remarkably young both mentally and physically. Here is a woman whose artistic achievements have brought her fame and fortune, and"yet life, and her children, realities, were always first and most important to her. She seems to have done a wonderful job of combining the homely responsibilities of bringing up h?r children, and the inspiring business of spiritual expression through' art. "It's a silly idea that it is necessary for a gi*"! to sacrifice her career if she wishes to marry," she told me. "They can be very successfully^ combined;: If one is willing to make sacrifices. And one must make sacrifices anyway, and certainly nothing Js so worthy of them as marriage. But If a girl flijda It necessary-to choose between marriage and a career, in all cases, the career should be given up." - Az One could readily realize that nothing could have stopped this capable woman from making a success of anything'she might have undertaken. <?he was predestined to do the great things of- life! ."T-7-;' , I fought, her views .regarding modem youth# This was her reply: j "Do I approve of the modem youthf | approve of the youth of every generation 1 Despite the vigorous drusades against their present freedom, *nd ihe criticism that they are both immoral and degrading, youth today is essentially fine. Today, there is a lesS^fpJUuality than in my youth; but why complain ? I have1 only one objection?that is an artistic one. I don't like the way girls make up their. pretty young faces. It isn't necessary. If they will get plenty of sleep, eat plentV of good fresh vegetables, drink plenty of water?-they will find that they have no need of cosmetics, Those have always been my only health rules. u "I love youth?I live among it, and I suppose that's one of the reasons I stay young.

There is no other v country in the world where one has a greater, chance, where one receives such substantial encouragement.
