Forty-three disasters, resulting In ie death In the United States of 850 orsons and the Injury of 2,500 called >r emergency relief measures and le expenditure of $1,871,000 by the merican Red Cross during the fiscal jar ending Jnne 30, 1921, says an inouncement based u;> n the forthwnlng annual report of the lied Cross, hese dieasters caused propei ty damie estimated at $30,000,000, affected xtv-seven communities and rendered i.tOO families homeless. The year's disasters were of varyig types, Including several which prelously had never been thought of i falling within that ctauiflca? tl.J n.... UU. X IJf neu Viusa l ui wrmu ?H??f in seventeen tires u? magnitude, ve floods seven tornadoes or cyories, one devastating ftorm, three cploslons, including the ene in Wall reet: one building accident, two phold epidemics, the moat serious bets that at Salem, Ohio, which afHted 9 per cent of the population; ae smallpox epidemic, In fee republic f Haiti; one t?ain wreck, the raoe riot t Tulsa, Okla.; the famine in Ghloa, mergency relief In famine among the idlans of Alaska, the graaehopper lague in North Dakota and an earth ake In Italy. Pueblo Moat Serious By far the moat severe of the dusters In the United States during the eriod covered by the Red Cross reort was the Pueblo flood early In une, 1921. The rehabilitation probjm confronting the Red Cross In uefolo was one of the most difficult ? recent years. When the first news f the horror was flashed throughout le country, the American Red Cross ational Headquarters responded with grant of $105,000 for relief work, overnor Shoup of Oolorado, appelating the long and successful expert nee ?f the Red Croas in organizing Lsaster relief work, placed tk* enre responsibility for the admlaiatraon of relief In lta hands, in response to appeals from Prealent Harding, Governor Shoup and :her governors of western states and trough local ohapters of the Red roaa and other community organizaons, public-spirited citizens brought le total contributed for Pueblo's reabllltation to more than $325,000. The terrible havoc wrought by the ood waters Is a matter of record, [ore than 2,900 homes were affected ad 7,351 persons were left homeless, stlmates of $500,000 as an absolute Inlmum for rehabilitation were made y Red Cross officials In charge of tb> sllef work. Fast Work In Wall Street The Wall street explosion was nota!e In that relief workers of the Red rots were on the scene twenty mlntes after the disaster occurred. The ice riot at Tulsa also was unique In Isaster relief annals In that outside f a small emergency relief fund confuted by the Red Cross, the only sllef measures outside the city conisted of the service of social work rs, nurses and a trained executive hose object was to assist local forces i directing their own efforts. In decided contrast with the prelous year, only one tornado assumed le proportions of a major disaster, his occurred on April 15, In the borer sections of Texas and Arkansas '1th the city of Texarkana as the ?nter. The significant feature of this Isaster relief work was the fact that covered so much rural territory as > make necessary a large number of ?llef workers. The famine in China, necessitating illef expenditures totalling more than 1,000,000 by the American Red Cross 'as by far the most serious of the jrelgn disasters In which the Red toss gave aid. Builds Up Its Machinery In connection with the admlnlstraon of disaster relief measures, an lnreaslng effectiveness on the part of le Red Cross to deal with emergence was manifested during the past ear. In 328 Chapters of the Amerlm Red Cross there have been formed fecial committees to survey the re uurces of their respective communles and to be prepared In case of Isaster. In others of the 8,402 active hapters, a network of communication as been formed through which instanineous relief may be dispatched to nv n?rt nt rh* United States. ? ? That Its work in this field may be jntinued with ever greater effectiveess, the American Red Cross is apeallng for widespread renewal of lembershlp during its Annual Roll all, to be conducted this year from ovember 11 to 24. .IFE SAVING CORPS ENROLLMENT 10,000 Growth of Red Cross Life Saving 'orps throughout the country connued unabated during the last fiscal ear, a summary of the year's ehievements by that Red Cross Serv e shows. There are now 100 Corps Ith a total membership of more than [1,000 members, of which 1,270 are uffioiently skilled Ii> the work to act s examiners. Among the outstanding r-hlevements of the Red Cross in this eld durinc the last year was the orsnizatior at the Cnited States Naval cn>''ii., Annapolis, of what is peraps the largest life saving corps In le world. I Still Assailing State Rights. The adoption of the tenth amendment to the federal constitution did, not, after all, obliterate the political distinction between the sexes. Not i yet has woman been "emancipated." J Clothed with the full rights of suf- j frage in every state, she still lan-1 guishes in a condition of semi-slavery. The authority of the Republic must be invoked lest she be subjected to I oppression in the several states "and I now is the time when all good men and all good women sl^uld come together as one woman or one man to restrict and diminish the power of these commonwealths. What right have 48 American commonwealths to c.vst anyway? Are they not a, menace to the women and to the men,too ? That is the meaning of the pro ! posal to enact another amendment to the federal constitution declaring that "no political, civil or legal disabilities or inequalities on account of sex or account of marriage" shall prevail. The proposal is grounded on the assumption that the women of South Carolina, for example, who, by the way, constitute a small majority of adults of voting age, can not go to the polls and with their ballots protect themselves. The assumption i; manifestly ridiculous and preposterous. It implies that political warfare between the sexes within the states will be promoted and perpetuated. It is a confession that woman suffrage is not yet established and that much more must be done, and that it can not be done except by federal action. The proposal is continuation of the assault on the rights of the individual states to define suffrage for themselves. That was the wrong and dangerous principle in' the campaign for the nineteenth amendment. That is why The State opposed it The new movement is designed to take a M M rm\\m 19 BniUL \ . . long ste? forward to the complete *1 destruction of state rights. Clearly it hints at the possible annulment of the right of South Carolina to refuse to allow divorces. To the specific declarations in the proposed "bill of rights" no serious objection would be raised in Sonth ? Carolina unless it came from the wo- J men themselves. Nearlv all of them are already a part of the laws of i this state. Whatever difference are in our statutes respecting men and ' women for the most part extend spe- ? cial privileges and immunities to women rather than discriminate against them. We are aware of no law by which a woman in South Carolina is compelled to take, upon marriage, the name of her husband and, in cases of legal separation, the woman retains the husband's name or resumes ' that of her maidenhood as she prefers. . Ii other words, the husband can not if he wishes, deprive the wife of his name, though she refuse longer to live with him as his wife. If women be not yet eligible to jury duty in this state, they are relieved of a service and on that account they are objects of envy by their fathers, brothers and husbands. The question is whether, in these matters, South Carolina shall be coercad by Wisconsin, Texas, Maine and a majority of the other states. The process of amending the fed eral constitution goes too far and too fast. A few repealing amendments mi.?ht be in order. ?Columbia State. TRESPASS NOTICE.
