What the American Red Cross did at once when this crushing earthquake disaster came without warning showed that it was ready on the instant with country-widteam work to carry out quickly and effectively the request of the President to lead the national effort for the relief of the many thousands of sufferers. Preparedness to take the field when relief is needed is a charter duty of the Red Cross. Without a membership enrolled in every community in the land this readiness would be impossible. That is why your dollar membership is most OIL MOVES WORLD COMMERCE For the carriage of goods between nations the dependence e will remain on merchant shipping, one one of the incentives to the use of oil fuel wil be brought about by increased competition. Oil is the more economical fuel, for the reason that, other things being equal, one ton of oil fuel as now used in Diesel engines drives a vessel three times as far as one ton of coal under the boilers of a steamship and yet oil is twice as efficient as coal when the ship has water-tub- e il : boilers and geared turbines. Whether we think of oil as used for Diesel or for steam engines, it certainly looks as if the future Mercantile Marines of the world will The possession of ample oil wells in be in the main other parts of the world may, and probably will get over the difficulty; but it is one thing to have coal fields at home, and quite another consideration to fetch oil from the other end of the earth.

New gas customers are being added in excess of 400,000 a year, while sales of gas appliances approximate $45,000,000 annually. One of the principal factors in increased use of gas is growing demand along industrial lines where it now used in more than 5,000 separate and distinct ways, also in house heating installations. Gas utilities financed a $450,000,000 building and expansion program in 1923 and expect to exceed this in 1924. Thus does the gas industry fill its expanding field in public making body readily adaptable for general use. Screen sides and end doors may easily be installed.
