Chicagoans Gave Half of Whole Tornado Fund "Thank the people of Chicago for their help, before you do anything else." This is the message H. M. Baker, di- rector of Red Cross relief work brings to Chicago from 6,059 families in the 550 miles of tornado swept area in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. Mr. Baker says that it was the worst disaster that ever 'befell this country, and the fund of $2,650,000 the largest ever contributed by popular subscrip- tion. Of this Chicago and vicinity gave $1,030,000, nearly one-half. Rehabilitation expenditures thus far amount to $727,234. Every cent of this represents actual benefits to the vic- tims, as salaries and other overhead ex- penses are paid from the annual mem- bership funds. For building and re- pairs $322,060 have been spent; house- hold goods, $133,000; food, $74,226; clothing; $45,413; live stock for farm- ers, $19,638; farm implements, $19,806; feed and seed, $5,870. It will be several months before the work is finished, and and a number of years before the Red Cross responsibility is ended in the case of orphans.
