RED CROSS HEAD EXPLAINS
HOW WAR WORK is BEING
CARRIED ON HERE AND ABROAD

This work in the United States
has been directed from National
headquarters by completely reor-
ganized administration. Under the
direction of the War Council, a gen.
eral manager, Harvey ID. Gibson.
president of the Liberty National
Bank, has been given general charge
of the work in this country. He has
delegated the direct oversight OF the
chapters, of which there are now
S,2S7, to division managers.
The Red Cross Salary List
At National Headquarters in
Washington staff has been built
up which included, on November /,
1917, sixty-three officials, most of
them businessmen and women OF
great experience in large affairs,
who are working without payment
of either salary or living expenses.
Numerous others are either giving
their time or are working for nom
inal pay. The membership has
grown, since the war, from about
1000 to more than 100000. The
salary list has been reduced since
last July from about 700 to about
425. Salaries have decreased also
in average amount. Had the Red
Cross been obliged to pay salaries
to all the heads of departments nj
National Headquarters the present
organization would have been impos-
sible.

An Engine That DiSests

High Power Out of 1t

The thing about the great Chalmers engine that
the fact that actually digests the gas fed
it (and low-grade gas especially.
Everyone knows that the grade of gasoline
is the Decline and that probably high-grade gas or
even the gas OF year ago, will never come back
And like who has been on high-grade leland
is suddenly given low-grade diet many engines
in automobiles now have gasoline indigestion.
The Chalmers engine dlgests gas probably
engine ever before has done. 1t makes high power
out OF low-grade gas.
1t makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever
worked before.
knows that the everlasting riddle has been get the
gas in just exactly 1907 condition Of vapor in the
combustion chamber before ignition
The great Chalmers engine has accomplished this,
SO far any engine probably ever will be able to do
by means OF two clever devices.
One is "hot spot feature which heats and "breaks
up the gas after leaves the carburetor and before
gets to the intake manifold The other is the cram
horn manifold that, by means of its easy air
Bends" sends the gas to the combustion chamber
well-nlgh perfect.
Hence more power out of less gas
On cold day remarkably quick results in starting
obtained.
No longer a 1O-minute fight with your engine. And
the Chalmers engine starts it smoothly
and delivers power quickly
Often cars take ten minutes of running to warm
them up."
But not so with the current Chalmers.
And If you weren't shrewd Judge of an automo-
bile you might overlook of the other notable
features Of the Chalmers so great has become
the achievements of it's engine.

The Work in Europe

S3,31O,216.GO
The Work in Europe
The work of the Red Cross in
Europe centers necessarily in France
and Major Grayson p. Murphy, n
member of the War Council, is head
of the Commission to France and
Commissioner for Europe. Head
quarters are in Paris, in building
furnished. free for the current year
for the use of the Red Cross. The
working staff in France numbers
S64 persons, of whom only BAT are
paid by the Red Cross. The others
are volunteers, or are paid by their
former employers or from funds pri-
vately subscribed, so that the aver
age cost to the Red Cross is only
about $500 per year for each worker
Red Cross Aims Abroad
The principal purposes of the
work of the American Red Cross
abroad may be summarized thus:
1. To do everything possible to
assist our Army and Navy in insuring
the health and comfort of American
soldiers and sailors abroad, and
2. To relieve suffering among the
armies and destitution among the
civilian populations among our AL
lies.
The establishment and mainte-
houses, recreation huts, and other
means of supplying comforts in the
armies of our Allies have been the
means of heartening them and keep
ing their men in the field until our
men could become fully effective.
The details which follow here are
supplemental to those given in the
report issued in September.
Our Army Our First Care
Work for the American Army is
the first and most important part of
the Red Cross program in France.
More than twelve base hospitals or
ganized by the Red Cross, and now
mustered into the Army Medical
Corps are in service in France. The
Red Cross is also administering,
under Army control, the hospital at
Neuilly formerly known as the
American Ambulance, together with
DIR. Joseph a. Blake's hospital in
Paris.
The Red Cross is serving 9,433 mill
American, though the Hospital Sup
ply Service, which operates sixteen
warehouses and q motor transport
system. Approximately $4,000 tons
of material-hospital and general
relief supplies - are distributed
monthly from these warehouses.
The Surgical Dressings Service
reaches 1000 hospitals. American
workshops in France will manufac-
ture nitrous oxide, repair hospital
apparatus. make splints and hospi-
tai appliances.

POULTRY MAY BE EATEN ON
TTJECnAvS

Owing to the plentiful supply of
poultry of all kinds in cold storage at
this time and the further fact that
small inland towns find it extremely
difficult to procure fish for meatless
Tuesday, the food administration Wish
es to approve of poultry being served
on all Tuesdays hereafter until further
notice.
There are in cold storage over 25,-
100000 pounds of chickens and APP
proximately 100000 pounds of tur-
keys.
The legal department of the United
States Food Administration has decid-
ed that it is illegal for the storage
warehouses to carry in storage this
large stock any longer and it will soon
be released for consumption.
With this large volume of poultry
coming on to the market for sale, con-
sumers may look for an abundant sup
ply at lower prices. -Magnus Swenson,

SLAM THE DOOR
IN GRAFTER'S FACE

IF a fellow comes to your door and
tells you he is sent to make an inspec-
tion of the canned goods in your cellar,
slam the door in his face and lock it
and then keep your eye on him until
you get hold of the police and turn him
over. 1t doesn t matter how many
badges this fellow HON, pay no atten-
tion to him. Reports reached the po-
lice on Monday that a man who claimed
to be representing one of the federal
commissions was working on the west
side of the city and that he had de-
manded chance to make an investiga-
ton of the cellars to see how much
canned goods the housewife may have
on hand The man is fraud. There
are absolutely no inspectors of canned
goods working under the direction of
the government. The important thing
is to secure the arrest of these Gin
spectors." See to it that the police is
promptly notified if such demand is
made upon you.

thrown into q window. It was at first
thought that the cut was not serious
but when it was found that an artery
was screwed the arm was bound up i'm
medlately and kilograms were sent
ahead for doctors to meet the train at
Waukegan. The injured man was
taken to the McAllister Hospital there
where his arm was dressed and he was
sent back to Kenosha He reported
Immediately to the CONSUMPTION board
and was elated when he was told that
arrangements would be made for
him to be sent on a morning train
Wednesday. It is probable that
the injury will keep him from in
tensive training for several weeks, but
1T IS not at all serious.
The one hundred and twenty-four
stalwarts dinnered' in Chicago and
left there early in the afternoon. The
trip was made without incident and
though tired the boys were glad when
they reached the cantonment. The
customary bath for newcomers put the
Kenosha lads in the best sort of spirits
for the barracks and this morning they
expected to begin registration as full
fedged soldiers of Uncle Sam. The
boys were greeted at the camp by
several of the Kenosha lads of former
quotas who had. been allowed the right
of greeting their comrades. From
former Patrolman Rock, who was in
charge of the city's ninety-three men,
came the word this morning that the
boys had arrived in the best of spirits
and that no incivility upon the part of
railroad officials as experienced by the
first quota, marred the trip. The
county board was also notified by their
leaders that their soldiers were at the
cantonment already enthusiastic over
the treatment accorded them by Uncle
Sam. The Offices of both CONSUMPTION
boards were busy finishing up the
records of this orota this morning
and putting things in shape so that
Kenosha county will be ready when
ever the next call is made.
Kenoshans who accompanied the
boys to Chicago, report that the
North Western Railway Company "did
itself proud" in caring for the
wants Of the Kenosha soldiers. A

Of the one hundred and twenty five
Liberty Men who left Kenosha county
Monday for the cantonment camp at
Battle Creek, Michigan, all but one

Waukegan as the result of an acct
dent when he severed the artery of
his right man just as the train pulled
out of Kenosha. Reid, although dis
appointed in the delay which was
necessarily occasioned, is pleased that
he is recovering SO quickly that he will
be sent Wednesday morning and by
evening of that day will be among the
Kenosha soldiers at Camp Custer.

American Red Cross in France. He
was selected on account of his wide
experience in the merchandising bust
ness and it is declared that there
but one other place similar to that fC
which Mr.. Barden has been called and
that is the place now held by Stanley
Field of Chicago, who gave up his great
business interests to volunteer his
services to aid the nation. Mr.. Bar
den will join Mr.. Field in the great
work of buying for the American Red
Cross and the American army in France
The Kenosha man was recommended
for this great work by prominent men
in all parts of the country who declar-
ed that they believed him the best
fitted man in the nation to attend to
this great service for the government.
Mr.. Barden has had wide experience
in the world of trade. He was for
some time connected with the great
house of Samuel Kaufman in New
York; for a time he was connected
with the Dayton Dry Goods Company
in Minneapolis, and for the past year
he has been with his brother, Fl. E.
Barden, in the carrying on of the bust
ness of the Barden Store Com
pany in Kenosha.
Anxious to be of service to the ma
tion, Mr.. Barden was one of the first
Kenosha men to offer his services, but
when the offer was made he had not
expected to take upon his shoulders
so important a position. Postmaster
James German of Kenosha, strongly
urged the appointment of Mr.. Barden
to the high position.

The protests against the scheme of


The protests against the scheme of
the city to pave many streets next
season began to reach the council. The
one Monday evening was from the peo-
pie of North Ridge street. This is
known as one Of the principal fender
streets in the city and large sums have
been expended keeping it in shape for
traffic. The protest was referred to
the committee on sewer and paving,
but several of the aldermen declared
that it would be impossible to pave any
streets in the city if the council waited
for the consent of all the property
owners.
The Board of Education filed a pro-
test against the council order to limit
the use of school board automobiles to
the dal light hours. The clerk was in
structed to notify the board that in all
probability there would not be room
enough in the city garage to accom-
modate the school board cars and the
regulation Of them will probably be
left in the hands of the board.
Little Sentiment For Poll Tax.
Alderman Hoppe sought to turn back
the hands of The clock of municipal
progress and have an ordinance passed
providing for the collection of poll
tax in Kenosha. He suggested the levy
Of dollar and half a year on all
made non-property owners in the city.
The City Attorney declared that Ke-
nosha had tried out the poll tax plan
in the past, but that it had not proven
successful There was no support from
the other aldermen for the suggestion
Of the alderman from the ninth ward.
The elimination Of the sale and haul
ing Of sand and gravel from both pri-
vate and city property along the lake
shore off Kenosha was strongly urged
by Alderman Meyer and the City At
torney was instructed to give the coun-
Gil legal opinion as to just what rights
the city had to put stop to this prac-
tice. This opinion is to be presented
at the next meeting Of the council and
formal action to have the state law for
the protection Of the beach will be
taken at that time.
Police Station Must Wait.
The question of the city building a
modern police station was brought up
by Alderman Shearer, but there was no
decided sentiment among the aldermen
to go into the proposition at this time.
it was suggested that the city make
some arrangements to use the county
Jail on Saturday and Sunday nights,
but even this suggestion met with no
favor. The council failed to take any
action more than to indicate that in
the opinion of the aldermen the only
thing that the Police department. could
do was to struggle along until building
conditions were more favorable.
The bonus granted to the police at
the last meeting of the council was
under fire as "illegal,' but at that
the aldermen decided to go ahead and
pay it and test the legality of their
action when some one objectsd to the
orders being drawn.
