Admiral Gary T. Gray son. chairman, revealed recently commenting on the anaual repori which has Just beeu released. "The 128 domestic disasters to which the Red Cross extended atd fiwrtng the fiscal year exceeded by 56 per cent the average oyer the past .few years," Ad mlra! Graysoo said. "Not only vat the period heavy in the number of Alaaaters. but the geographical distribution wide, with 217 State* and 353 counties ..affected. •^Through thefcedisasters aad ttmeS Of community distress, the Red Cross assisted 110,000 persons." the Admiral disclosed. '•*'« h : " ^ Spectacular service was revered in many disasters because of the unique aess of the problems and the far-flung points affected. The work of the Na tional organization covered in the re port carries stories of the Morro Castle burning: the trench-mouth epidemic in the beautiful San kui§ Valley of Colo rado; the great flgnt over a wide front in the mid-west dust bowl against ^respiratory diseases; floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes in many sections of the United States. In addition to the disasters taking place within the continental limits of this country. Admiral Grayson pointed out that work had been made necessary by disasters in Hawaii. Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, where 26 disasters were recorded in that archipelago. The American Society also assisted the Red Cross of two foreign countries in car ing for victims of floods and earthquakes. The variation of types of disasters called for expert council on matters relating to health and nutrition as well as epidimic prevention. Last year's work'proved the value of the structure and administration of the Red Cross disaster relief, the Admiral said, the very frequency of occurrence and the variety of types constituting a severe test of the organization chartered by Congress to handle this type of National relief. Expenditures of the Red Cross,,for relief of persons stricken by disasters within the continental United States amounted to $464,413. In addition, $75, 000 was sent to the Philippines to assist them in three, major relief operations necessitated by tyiphoons, $5,000 went t- victims of the Indian earthquake, and $5,000 to Poland for victims of severe floods. A number of smaller foreign emergencies called for sums totaling $2,500. The months of February, March, April, May and Juno were heaviest for tornado disasters. Floods occurred throughout the year. Serious flres calling for Red Cross assistance took place during July and December. A devastating explosion took place in Tennessee during April. Most of the hurricanes struck States fclong the east coast during the fall and early winter. "All of this assistance to persons In distress," Admiral Grayson pointed out, "wms only possible through generous contributions made by dtliens in all sections of the country." Most of this support of the disaster relief service comes from the annual Roll Call held each year from Arm Is ttce Day to Thanksgiving Day. Mites, Hog Lice Cause Feed Loss Oil Is Found Effective in Eliminating the Pest; . Destroy Bedding. By J..S. Coffer, Depart mailt of Animal Husbandry, Ohio State Uhtverslty. WXU Servlca. When feed and hogs are both high priced, it is essential that the traqpfer of feed Into pork be as economical as possible. The type of ration is, of cours#, Important, but external parasites may cause feed wastage losses. The hog louse and mange mite arc The- two most common forms of ex ternal parasites of hogs. Animals infested with either or both of these pests cannot make the best use of their feeds. The louse Is a bloodsuck e* and the mite Is a great irritation. Because the hog louse breathes through body pores, when once these pores are plugged -the parasite;, suffocates and dies. • Oil has been found most effective as a treatment for lice. The type of oil Is not so Important; paraffin oil, crude oil, animal spraye containing oil and. crank case drain fogs are all in com mon use. Crank case oil is not recom mended as H often contains gasoline which particularly Irritates white and thin-skinned hogs. While the oil destroys the lice It does not eliminate the eggs. There fore, it Is necessary to destroy the bed ding after giving hogs an oil treatment and. treat a second time two weeks later to destroy newly hatched lice. Oiling hogs once every SO days practically eliminate* lice from the swine herd. The mange mite appears first at the ears, eyes and at the root of the tail. To eliminate this pest, cleanliness, sanitation and sunlight are essential. The best known remedy is the lime sulphur dip--one pound of lime sulphur to 30 gallons of water-if--the attack is mild; in severe cases, one pqund to 15 or 20* gallons. The lime sulphur used is that employed by fruit growers for spraying. The solution Is applied warm. The heated condition of the solution causes sulphur dioxide gas to form, killing the mites.

Br IRVING BERLIN Famous Composer /"\N"LY the person who suffers from Insomnia knows the ravages and terrors of the still night hours before the dawn of day. Through the night lilting tunes and haunting melodies come to Irving Ber Hit, the famous composer; but sleep eludes him. "Once during a hot summer night, Mr. Berlin related, "I was staying,at s small Broadway hotel during tli« production of one of my tirst musical comedies. "Tired out from th« work of re hearsal. I could have fallen Into a light sleep, but I was disturbed by the snoring <>t the man In the next room. I paced the floor. The snoring grew louder and weirder. It was un canny. At four o'clock it stopped, and I fell asleep for a few minutes, only to be awakened again by the regular "Ity of the harsh notes I slept b^ fits and starts. - - "At six o'clock I remember 1 wax awake. "Frantically, I walked Into the hall. The snoring man's door was open. I pushed aside the ventilating screen Ah empty whlte-rock bottle caught my •ye. I picked it up and, with one blow, brought it down with revenge upOn the man's head. It shattered into hundreds of plecea Blood trickled down the map's face. This was horrible. "The next thing I knew a hand was grasping my arm. I could feel it, but could not see it. Was it the dead man's ghost? I tried hard to visualize It-- was It the^ hand of a spirit detective? "1 reached up to push the hand away. " 'Wake up,' roared a bellboy. who was tugging at my arm. 'You left a call for seven o'clock. Ho£>e you had a glee night's sleep,' he added. Jauntily.' The man Jn the next room has complained that he dreamed he heard the noise of~ some one walking back and forth, back and forth, all night. Hope you didn't hear anything queer.' " Part of Honey Expense 1 Is the Cost of Gasoline Beekeepers and scientists have made many estimates as to how far bees fly in making a' pound of honey, but until now no one has determined how many miles by truck and automobile the modern beekeeper must travel lti do ing his part In producing and marketing a pound of It. In a survey by the United States De partment of Agriculture and the Unl versity of California, it was found t]tiat 225 California beekeepers, whose honey crop In 1933 amounted to 6,130,181 pounds, traveled 1,493,628 miles. The extent to which automobiles are used varies with the typs of apiary. In Oregon and Intsrmountain states, where hives sre not often moved from place to place during the honey flow, about 10 per cent of the cost of a pound of honey Is In transportation, whereas In the migratory apiaries in California, transportation accounts for from 20 to 25 per cent of the'.cost Small Pig Crop for Year This year's pig crop will be the smallest in many years, says the bu reau of agricultural economics. The reduced production is sttributed to last summer's drouth which shrunk feed grsln production to the smallest volume In msny years, to the low price of hogs last year, and to the unfavorable hog-corn ratio. The spring pig crop of 193ft was 20 per cent small er thsn the small spring crop of 1964-- a decrease of about 7,400,000 head. Decressed production in the corn belt is estimated at 22 per cent Ample Food Supply . ~ There'll be plenty of food in the United States this year, according to s report from the bureau of agricultural economics. The bureau said this year's food supply would exceed av verage consumption during recent years. It will be .somewhat less thsn the average supply of the last five years, but sbout 5 per cent more thVn domestic "dlsappesrsnce" is 1934, and about 9 per cent more than in 1933, Agricultural Jottings Plowing by oxen Is being revived io many parts of Engtsnd. • • • Farmers hsve discovered thst paint Is an Important factor in farm sanitation.

The bothersome task of collecting taxes necessary to* meet the provisions of the new law are entrusted to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, whic^i is entirely separate from the Security Board. Actually three government agencies are required to administer the act, as the matex-nal health and child welfare sections are administered by the Children's. Bureau of the Department of Labor. The tax on employers for the unemployment fund begins January 1, while the taxes for the national old age annuity system do not become effective until 1937. It is expected that bringing the states into line is one of the major problems of the Federal government. The new law specifically provides for Federal standards to which states must conform in order to receive Federal payments, which will amount to fifty percent of the state group levy. That politics will play an important role is due to the realization that eventually higher taxes will be enacted by various states in order to provide revenue to meet the commonwealths' share Only four states hayiunemployment' insurance while 32 states have enacted old age pensions. In four of the states having unemployment, insurance the employee is Tequired to contribute a share, while in other states the worker is exempt and the burden falls exclusively on the-employer. Both the states and the Federal government will have diffi-, culty in keeping tabs on the transitory and seasonal worker, who works part time in" one state and floats across the border to'another creatine confusion in registration. The preparedness program adopted by the national labor unions against the day when majoBk legislation may be declared unconstitutional places a damper on Federal agencies, when one of the principal promoters of class, legislation gets ready to throw in the towel as a token of defeat in judicial tests, the administrative groups are looking around for new avenues to their objectives. The Department of Justice is trying to speed high court * arguments and rulings on A. A. A. amendments in particular. The cost of running this agency is about a million dollars per day and represents a heavy drain on the Treasury^ The thought of new taxes for next year provokes shudders as it is the perim] of Presidential and Congressional elections. If Congress is held in session until the Supreme Court passeson its previous acts, electioneering by / incumbents will be delayed.

His desk, has been piled high with problems ranging from settlement of feuds within the official family to vital matters of national and international policy. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to linger at the White House long enough to get a firm grip, on public affairs before leaving for Hyde Park, N! Y., and subsequently to Warm Springs, Ga. The "spats* within the government circles as to Jurisdiction, power and appropriations are the natural outgrowth of divergent opinion. Patching these differences and directing the ship of state are just part of the official chores of the Chief Executive. » It seems certain that the AdifiinistratiOn will take another fling at NRA under a new guise . Major George Berry, recently appointed Coordinator, has the unenviable task of attempting to reconcile business antagonism toward new legislative controls, keeping ambitious labor unions from upsetting peace overtures and at the same time tone down the antibusiness complex existing in various Federal regulatory agencies. Though only a very small percentage of acceptances have been received Coordintor Berry intends to* sound assembly call for a two-day confab beginning4 next month. Because of the growing hostility to processing taxes, the Secretary of Agriculture has made a clever play to offset possible Rpublican gains from this sentiment. In his public talks, Mr. Wallace has likened the processing tax "to the high tariff, a "cardinal tenet in the Republican articles of faith. Increased prices for bread has added another item to the living costs which tend to inflame consumers fcgainst government bounties. Mr. Wallace has warned farmer beneficiaries that Federal gift bags may be withdrawn just as tariffs are reduced to lower prices. Candidates for Senate and Assembly posts in all states will soon face direct questions as to their attitude on relief problem^. From 27 million to 30 million persons will be affected by the new Social Security Act when all the machinery is in operation. Various government agencies are now at work perfecting Federal policies in this new experiment for which great hopes are held out as to its ultimate effect of lessening the influence of the depression and relieving human needs.
