The Essex County Red Cross 
Chapter. 
The annual meeting of the Essex 
Chapter of the American National 
Red Cross Society was held Satur- 
day afternoon at the home of the 
Secretary, Miss Louisa P. Loring, 
of Pride’s Crossing. Members 
coming from Manchester, Ames- 
‘bury lynn, Salem and Beverly. 
The Secretary’s and ‘Treasurer’s 
reports for the past year were read, 
showing a membership of 242; and 
a balance of $367.07 in the treas- 
ury. Officers were re-elected as 
follows :—President, General Fran- 
cis H. Appleton; secretary, Miss L. 
P. Loring; treasurer, Mr. W O. 
Chapman. 
Miss Mabel Boardman in an in- 
teresting review of the Red Cross 
work of the past year, spoke of the 
sending of an expert engineer to 
China to report on the possibility 
of preventing the great and fre- 
quent river floods with attendant 
loss of life. His report is to the ef- 
fect that with the expenditure of a 
eomparatively few million of dol- 
lars in dykes and dams, the semi- 
annual devastation might be pre- 
vented and ten crops be raised 
where only two are now. 
Miss Boardman told of her great 
progress in the teaching of first 
aid, to different classes of work- 
men: The many skillful corps 
among common miners, in electrical 
works, along sea and lake beaches; 
and detailed the organization of 
Red Cross Aides, young women 
trained in first aid hygiene and 
dietetics, and doing volunteer work 
to assist trained district nurses and 
working under their supervision. 
These aides have a simple, becoming 
and inexpensive uniform, and pre- 
pare themselves not only to act 
promptly in emergency cases in their 
families, neighborhoods:and on the 
street; but to aid the district nurse 
when she is overworked, by teaching 
mothers to prepare food for the sick 
and to help with the little children. 
Miss Boardman spoke of the crying 
need for a_ sufficient endowment 
fund in which America lags far be- 
hind Japan. In eases of earthquake, 
fire and famine the Society cannot 
wait to make special appeal for 
funds, it must send immediate aid. 
Mrs. Emily Smith of Amesbury, 
who during the past year raised $200 
for Red Cross work told how speed-

Now that the world’s series is over 
local base ball fans are turning their 
attention to a more important event 
in the baseball annals of Manchester, 
—namely the championship of the 
town. And so a game has been ar- 
ranged for Saturday, Oct. 18 (to- 
morrow) on the Brook street dia- 
mond, between the Manchester nine 
of 1912-03, known as the. ‘‘Has- 
Beens,’’ and the nine of this year. 
Either Joe Wood or Hubbard of Es- 
sex will pitch for the ‘‘Has-Beens.’’ 
Contributions for the ‘‘Has-Beens”’ 
will be received by Wm. H. Hoare, 
manager. It is expected a large 
crowd will be out for this closing 
game of the season.
