Mrs. Mayer ig a graduate of Converse College and was a very prominent memiber of her class there, hawng been a member of the Student Council and held other offices. Since coming to Washington in 1926 she hag shown a great interest in the work of the S. I. A. and has been a faithful worker.

After that we can well say that the Wash ington boys had the edge on their opponents The Washington boys be gan to drive the line clipping off eight and ten yards at a clip.

During the year it has also given more than 4,000 lectures and demon strations for the furtherance of this campaign. 9. In addition to helping with the administrative and other phases of the v.'^rk, Red Cross v • unteers have during the year, produced more than a quarter of a million garments and two and a quarter m'llion surgical dressings for use in disaster relief work and other contingencies. They have al o ti inscribed 4 316 volumes into Eraiile, a system of raised let tering whereby the blind are enabled t • read. Practically all Braille tran- scrib'r.g in this country is done by Red Cross volunteers. Iv’, The American Red Cross makes no appeals for funds during the year except following great national dis asters in which cases all funds con tributed are spent for relief work in the disaster for which the appeal is made. This enfre program of serv ice is financed from membership dues obtained during the Roll Call. In addition to this the membership funds finance n>any relief operations following relatively small disasters in which no special appeal is made. Card Of Thanks Mrs Glyndon’s trip was given of field endorsement by Mayor Anthony M. Ruffu, Jr., of Atlantic City, who timed her start and bade her bon voyage with message of greeting and the official key of Atlantic City for delivery to Mayor Rolph, of San Fi ancisco. “I got s . sleepy at times, espec'al- ly the third night out, that I thought I would have to quit,” Miss Glyndon said. “I don’t feel as though I ever again* want to drink a cup of coffee or inhale from a bottle of smelling salts. , “It wa s the detours that delayed us. Out of Pittsburgh was a ter rible stretch of road, necessitating a long detour. Also, in certain sec tions of the far west, we encountered more than one heait breaking de tour.” Not once during the trip did Miss Glyndon enter a hotel for food c'r sleep. Ten minute nods at the wheel sufficed for rest. Sandwiches and coffee eaton with one hand, while the other steered, were her only re freshments. She is an experienced diivcr, and for the last s x years has driven Chevrolets exclusively. Just before the trip she purchased a new sedan and drove it 1,200 miles before starting on her record breaking journey. The only stops the car re quired were those made to take on gasoline, oil and water. No change of tires or adjustments of any des cription were necessary. *Xt We wish to express to our neigh bors and other friends our most sin cere thanks for the many acts of Temp< rature is a very important factor i 1 the successful fermentation of vegetable foods, such as pickles kindness to us during the illness and and saueikraut, say chemists of the at the death of our sister, Miss Julia Wiley.

The foo.is should be kept as close as large municipal airports or fields, of course, the problem is different. Hangars are at widely separated points and there are scores of planes taxiing back and forth across the field. A pilot running on schedule wants a quick lunch fer himself and his plane, and a prompt take-c^f. So we have provided a specially designed tank wagon and equ'pment for complete, efficient and speedy service at any part of the field. We are putting this whole plan into opcratioi throughout our entire marketing territory as fast as conditions warrant and the equip ment can be gotten ready.” Captain Aldrin, who is a former army fl er, explained that his com pany now had three different types of planes which are being used as an “air laboratory” for testing “Stand ard” aviation products under actual flying conditions.

X Simple Oats Sprouter One of the most satisfactory and simplest kinds cf an oats sprouter for the poultry house, and one which can be made easily at home, is a table about 2 feet high, 2 feet w'de, and as b*ig as may be desired. The top pf' 'the table is perforated with 1-2 inch holes and is boxed in with sides about 4 inches high. The amount of oats required for one day’s feeding can be soaked in warm water in a sack for 24 hours and then emptied on to one end of the table and spread out to a thickness cf 2 or 3 inches The oats can be turned over with a shcvel from day to day and watered, and each day’s supply moved along until they reach the lowei end when they can be tak en out to be fed. Oats will sprojt be; t in a room where the temperature : s about 70 degrees Farenheit. Al though there arc a number of devices cn the market for sprouting cats, some of which are satisfactory, most c' th^m 'nv -ve too much labor if a quantity of oats is to be sprouted.
