2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOV. 12, 1921 Red Cross Gives ' Wandering Gems. Refinishing Nickel Plating, a $310,000 to Aid 'Clean-Up' Drive An appropriation of $310,000 for Red Cross work in connection with the "clean-up" campaign instituted by the Government to bring the claims of all disabled service men who are entitled to Federal aid before the proper gov- ernment bureau for action, has been made by the American Red Cross. The Executive Committee of the American Red Cross in making the appropriation authorized the appropri- ation of $35,000 of this sum to the American Legion to defray the ex- pense of the Legion representatives assigned to the various districts of the Veterans Bureau. The remainder of the appropriation was authorized for apportionment among the several Divisions of the Red Cross for carrying on that part of the "clean-up" work that falls di- rectly upon the Red Cross organization, Young America Sends Vast Relief To Needy Abroad Various relief projects of the Junior American Red Cross in European countries resulted in helping 237.000 destitute children during the last fis- cal year, according to the annual re- port of the American Red Cross for that period. The growth of the activi- ties of the Juniors abroad is mani- fested by a comparison which shows this figure is 200,000 larger than that of the previous fiscal year.

A new nickel-plating solution said to yield beautiful results is prepared by mixing the liquid obtained by evap- orating a solution of one-half ounce nickel in aqua regia to a pasty mass and dissolving it in one pound of aqua ammonia, with that obtained by treating the same quantity of nickel with a solution of two ounces cyanide of potassium in one pound of water. More cyanide renders the deposit whiter and more ammonia renders it grayer. Books in Our Time. Of books in our time the variety is so voluminous, and they follow so fast from the press, that one must be a swift reader to acquaint himself even with their titles, and wise to discern what are worth reading. It is a wise book that is good from title page to the end.--A. Bronson Alcott, ects. Receipts for the National Chil- dren's Fund during the last fiscal year totalled $155,317.
