I The years disasters reported included twenty-si- x floods, nineteen torfifteen fires, four epidemics, nadoes, two theatre collapses, two shipwrecks (one an airship), and a bridge collapse, mine explosion, railway collision, and a drought. Of the floods In the United States that at San Antonio, Texas, caused the greatest property loss, $6,000,000 and the high mark of fatalities, 100, while the flood In the vicinity of Vicksburg and Natchez, Miss., forced 31,000 persons from their homes. A National Calamity In the Red Cross disaster relief records there will probably remain for many years one calamity which touched nearly every state with a sense of horror and of loss. This was the distressing collapse of the roof of the Knickerbocker Theatre In Washington, D. C., resulting In nine-ty-sl- x deaths and 125 persons injured. Situated In the center of the beautiful Northwest residential section, this motion picture theatre wps patronized by many persons of prominence both In the official and civil life of the National Capital, whose family and personal connections radiated out over the entire country. The horror was intensified by a terrific snowstorm which, though It retarded, did not block Red Cross relief. Airship Crash Finds Aid at Hand The crash and destruction of the U. S. Armys large airship Roma in Virginia last February with the loss of 31 officers and men and 11 injured was the first disaster of its kind to call for Red Cross relief in this country. The suddenness of the accident tested the preparedness of the organization and of the Chapter at Hampton, Ya., hut the response was Immediate and relief furnished the survivors, also funds for j the expenses of relatives of the dead, who came from long distances to claim PROVO ICE & COLD STORAGE CO.

In medical relief that was quick and effective the smallpox epidemic in San Domingo, which had a total of 22,000 cases with 225 deaths In a single day, tested the readiness of the Red Cross for action, and the same can be said of the San Domingo hurricane, which killed 12 persons and reduced the homes of 182 persons to wreckage. A flood In San Salvador, with a death toll of 50 and 2.000 refugees, was also effectually handled by the local Chapter of the American Red Cross.
