Officers said this would be di- vided between the national organiza- tion and the active chapters on ap- proximately an equal basis.( Budget allotments of the nationall organization for domestic operations aggregate $6,335,795, or $488,015 lessl than similar expenditures for last; year, while the allotment for foreign operations will be $3,404,077, about $2,247,959 less than the year before. It was stated that the reduction in the cost of domestic operations represent- ed a saving in overhead expenses and decreased personnel through the com- bining of divisional units. The for-' eign operations with the exception of the Junior American Red Cross, prac- tically were terminated last July. Relief work for disabled former ser- vice men and their dependents re- ,: . .- rmains the main obligation which the Red Cross is giving in funds and ser- vice. Approximately $3,000,000 of the domestic budget is set apart for sol- dier service, this representing an in- crease of $366,000 over last year. Other outstanding domestic items in the 1922-1923 budget, are: for dis- aster relief, $750,000; for emergencies in chapter work, $500,000; for service and assistance to chapters and their branches, $1,293,000; for assistance to other organizations and educational institutions that train Red Cross nurs-{ es and workers, $200,000; for Roll Call assistance furnished to chapters, $190,000; for unforseen contingencies, $100,000. Less than $500,000 is set aside for management of the national organiza- tion. The ratio of management ex- penses to the total expenditures last year was placed at ve and two-tenths percent, and officers said the ratio this year probably would fall below five percen:. C RISIANAL INGS MEET COMMENDED BY BURTON, FEHRRIS IIANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS TO ADDRESS STATE CONVENTION ALBION IS PLACE FOR ANNUAL CONFERENCE Idea of Yearly Convocation Has Been Supported by Many Noted Men Purposes and ideas of the annual Christian Callings conferences, the second of which will take place from Dec. 8 to 10 at Albion, Mich., this year, have been heartily endorsed by Presi- dent Marion L. Burton and Senator Elect W. N. Ferris, of Michigan. Pres- ident Burton, who addressed the first annual conference held last year in Ann Arbor, expressed himself in favor of the idea behind the conference, say- ing that just such a fostering of Christian callings in a state university was admirable. Governor Elect Ferris in a recent letter to W. I. Kelsey, state student secretary of the Y. M. C. A., made the following statement to.

It is believed by those who have made a study of the annual statis- tics that many of the remaining 17 per cent have expressed no prefer- ence for one or more of the follow- ing reasons: (1) they do not wish tq be bothered by letters and notices, (2) they see no purpose in express- ing preference, (3) they are suspicioul of the motive behind the request. Some of this failure of the students to express preference is due to care- lessness of the students. ENGINEERS GIVEN 15 NEW PICTURES Fifteen framed pictures have been presented to the electrical engineer- ing department by the Commonwealth Edison company of Chicago, and are" being hung in the second floor corri- dor of the engineering building. Charts with statistics regarding the increasing use of electricity, its de- creasing price during the past ten years, the number of power stations in the several sections of the country, and pictures of electrical laborator- ies and power stations of this coin- pany comprise the collection. This assortment of pictures, according to Professor Bailey of the electrical en- gineerjng department, lrepresents a considera~be outlay of money and will be a great addition to. the depart- ment's equipment. Negro Education Has Advancement (By the Associated Press) Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 25-More has been accomplished in the last three years for the education and advance- ment of the negroes in America, upon which the Board of Education for Ne- groes of the Methodist Episcopal church has expended $2,000,000 during that time, than during any other like period in the history of the race, ac- cording to Dr. I. Garland Penn, one of the corresponding secretaries of the board.. The money expended by the board has been used in erecting new build- ings, enlarging endowments, advonc- ing teachers' salaries and equipment, he said.

Canada Must Not Have Liquor In reviewing the work of the tem- perance forces in Canada for the sup- pression of the liquor traffic to a re- presentative of the Canadian Press, Rev. H. Spence, Secretary of the Do- minion 'Temperance Alliance and host of the great convention, expressed his confidence that the object of his or- ganization was nearing its goal. Pro- hibition in Canada, he said, could nev- er be effective while liquor is legally made and transported in any part of the dominion. National prohibition could not be made safe in any nation while an adjoining nation permitted the traffic, and the campaign must be carried on with renewed vigor until liquor was eradicated in every land and every clime, and the world was made safe against the ravages of al- coholism in every possible form.
