Local Red Cross chapters are now meeting food and clothing needs of families in 735 counties in twenty states in the drouth areas, an increase of 109 since January 22. Those counties are distributed among the states as follows: Alabama, 39; Tennessee, 37; Georgia, Virginia, 61; Indiana, 23; West Virginia, 37; Kentucky, 116; Arkansas, 75; Louisiana, 34; Illinois, 24; Maryland, Missouri, 34; Mississippi, 65; Montana, 13; North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, 33; Oklahoma, 50; Pennsylvania, Texas, 88. Eighteen varieties of vegetables are represented in the two million Red Cross garden seed packages to be distributed in the stricken states, beginning as early as today in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, where mild weather already permits planting.

The varieties are: beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, collard, sweet corn, kale, lettuce, mustard, okra, onions, peas, spinach, squash, tomatoes, and turnips, with some slight change of variety for planting in southern Illinois and Indiana, and in West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland. A letter received from the Johnson county Red Cross chapter, Clarksville, Arkansas, in the midst of the relief operation, enclosed a check for $1185.00 contributed to the relief fund voluntarily fay citizens in the community. This is an example of the prevalent desires on the part of the affected sections to exert themselves as much as possible on their own behalf. From an Oklahoma county Red Cross field representative comes a report of a similar situation, where a group of prominent people met, setting a $2,000 goal to be raistd locally for the relief fund. This county had already expended $9,400 of a national Red Cross cash grant to provide food and clothing for needy families.

Apropos the legislative investigation into the affairs of the state university of Iowa, Jack Sheldon and Paul Myhre in the current number of College Humor, after calling attention to the lack of tradition, the blanket and beer parties, and the heavy date as contributory causes point out that "Iowa seems to ack something, for it is never has in ts athletic teams, if the team that's tough, but it is not my problem. You will never find Iowa men, like Indiana men, refusing to shave until an Iowa team has won a victory, It just isn't done. "Perhaps this partially explains why Iowa athletics have apparently been on the decline in recent years. There have been moments, of course, which recalled the palmier days of Locke and Devine. Moments when Cowboy Kutsch beat Grange, twelve to ten when Chief McLain ripped yawning holes the Ohio line when Nelson, the tow-headed Iowa sophomore, booted Minnesota out of a conference championship.

But brilliant as these moments were, they have been infrequent, and bonfires and victory parades have degenerated into alibi sessions." The High Hat is Out "Against this background six 1 thousand of your sons and daughters of Main Street study loaf and play nine months of the year. Mostly democracy rules and the high hat is out. The formal introduction is superfluous at Iowa. You like the looks of a man. You speak to him.

He likes your looks and speaks to you. That may be the beginning of a life friendship. Any man may be popular at Iowa, all things being equal, by merely smiling and putting out lots of glad hand jit's plain old fashioned democracy, no matter which way you look at it." Fear Plat Thumbed Children "Young married alumni of Iowa have often predicted that all their children would be born with flat thumbs," says one paragraph. "Perhaps this paragraph requires an explanation. You see Iowa beer is no ordinary brew.

It is a distinct Iowa creation. Only lowans can mix it and only lowans can drink Iowa beer is any of a number of brands of near beer, spiked gen- Street with a girl on one arm and a blanket on the other and nd one thinks anything about it.

The parade of howling maniacs that cheered through the town to greet the homecoming victors Locke, Mlnick, Huge bonfires.

Ecstasy. But one celebration only, mourns the article. Yet, despite the shadows, the tale closes with the atmosphere of a sunny November day and a-cheering suggestion of a pride and enthusiasm in "tomorrow's Iowa." When the supplies of good second hand clothing was exhausted, the mothers were issued requisitions to btty materials in'town, and they have made garments for thett children as they have been accustomed to do in normal tunes. New shoes and underwear has been furnished to nearly all the Children at this time. One 10 year old'boy Is again in school, who stopped in November because he had to ride a pony three miles, clad only In a shirt and a pair of overalls.

Since the Red Cross has fitted him out with warm underwear, shoes, stockings and a sweater, he and his pony are off again across the plains every morning to school. Bright new gingham dresses are the rule these days, ihe superintendent reports, for mothers were given mater- als for two dresses for each girl. Their proud possessors almost stopped a session of school one day where she visited, she said, for the children insist- ed 6n displaying their ftew Red Cross clothes. School lunches are being handled with the requisitions for the family groceries. In each family where there is a school child, extra staples school unches are added, including peanut butter, raisins, prunes, and tomatoes.

Red Cross trition directors are instructing mothers in the preparation of the lunches to use the eggs and milk which most of the families have at home.

Although many of the families had already had contact with the Red Cross through a farm survey and had been induced to accept the groceries they so sorely needed, it still required the most tactful suggestions in some cases to get them to take clothing also.
