The Argentine Red Cross, though only lately organized, shows in its
report of funds and value of property some $36,000. The Society receives
from Congress an appropriation of $40 a month, and this will probably be
increased. One of the members of its Central Committee belongs to the
Senate and another is President of the House of Representatives, and both
have shown much interest in the Society. A committee of women has been
created whose duty it is to instruct the public in simple hygenic laws.
