sudden changes are impossible and the
cooling process is gradual and natural.
Another big advantage of this new
theory in clothing, especially in the
tropics, is the protection afforded
against the bites of disease breeding
mosquitoes and flies Tropical mala-
ria, yellow fever, elephantiasis ana
many other dangerous diseases are
transmitted by the mosquito. This
insect is able to sting very freely
through light cotton and silk garments,
but in the feecy surface of the khaki

PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES WOULD
DEMAND PROOF OF ASSERTIONS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 18.-
Through William Mather Lewis, its
executive secretary, the national COM
,nittee of Patriotic Societies, has issued
an appeal to.loyal citizens everywhere
to demand proof" of doubtful asser-
lions concerning war matters in an ef-
fort toItrace all injurious statements
to their cource. The committees ap-
peal grows out of the fact that there
has been widespread circulation OF
stories for along time to the effect
that American transports have been
sunk.
No transports have been sunk, and,
despite the fact that more than 100000
American officers and soldiers have
now been safely conveyed to France
by naval vessels, the official record
shows so far that not one soldier has
been lost in this work of overseas
transportation of a great army.
The false reports being cried
throughout the country to which the
national committee of Patriotic Soc
ieties calls attention, are believed by
government officials to he for the most
part the result of the work of German
agents, although in some instances,
they may be set down to malicious
mischief.

HEAVY KHAKI SHIRTS
COOL AND HEALTHFUL

To many persons it has long been a
mystery why the privates of the United
States Marine Corps and army are re-
quired to wear heavy wooden khaki
shirts in the hottest days of summer
and even in tropical climates, where
the temperature hangs around 80 de-
grees the year around.
In spite of the apparent inconsist-
ency of such practice, it's value in
preserving health and life has been
many times proved, and the wooden

Cochran Offers Yacht

RED CROSS MUST Feed,
nurse And SHELTER
Henry P. Dawson. New Council Head.
Sees Great Responsibility.

A message to the thousands of gradu-
ate nurses of the United States who have
just completed their training courses and
who face the world as mistresses of their
profession, was voiced yesterday by
Henry p. Dawson, head of the new Red
Cross war council. which has just been
created by President Wilson.
Although Mr. Dawson did not frame
his appeal as a direct plea to any one
class Of workers, he made it plain that
every available resource Of the United
States must be thrown behind this ex-
pansion Of the Red Cross organization to
bring it to a plane of high efficiency.
There Is no limit that we can outline
In figures" said Mr.. Dawson, ito the
amount OF money and the number of
nurses and doctors this organization will
need. We're going into the greatest war
In history and we've got to 60 in with
the greatest organization in our history.
This particularly applies to the Red
Cross.
1T affords an opportunity not only for
active patriotic service, but it will fur
nish wonderful opportunity to those
whose professions will be exercised in
the work. Today thousands and thou
sands of acres of France lie barren and
bare.
Each successive allied advance turns
food OF any kind and no way to prepare
1t II they had It. They are without cook
ing utensils, knives, forks or spoons.
Their very garden implements were
placed in great piles by the retreating
Germans and burned. Every possible
source of aid and comfort TO the oncom-
ing allies was utterly destroyed and all
that was left were the people and the
land itself. It is. therefore, evident that
pnA Il. -.
task than the mere treatment of wound
ed soldiers. great as that work is.
Must Extend Work.
1--WE face the task and the problem of
going in and rehabilitating these ruined
and ravaged portions of France and Bel
Eium. There are people to be nursed,
people to be housed. fed and sheltered.
That alone is a gigantic task. In course
Of time. as our organization gains in
strength and effectiveness, this relief
work will be extended to every portion
of the ground now held by the allied
troops.
Our problem lies in taking from the
shoulders of the French and British Red
Cross organizations every ounce Of bur
den that we can bear. In France, every
man, woman and child is burdened to
the utmost. The men who have been be-
hind the lines have been sent into the
trenches and France Is up against a
task to which she cannot long remain
equal.
This, of course, is only one side OF our
work. We've got to use thousands of
doctors and nurses for hospital work
behind the firing line. To do this, we've
got to have the supplies from America
in man-power, woman-power and money
power. Our needs are limitless and we
hope our resources are limitless. too, but
It is a matter Of national necessity that
those who cannot fight contribute in some
way to this great relief organization
which will shoulder a great portion OF
the task Of beating Germany"

confident that the exercise Of those
powers will be necessary only in a
few cases where some small and sell
fish minority proves unwilling to put
the nations interests above personal
advantage and that the whole country
will heartily support Mr.. Hoover's
efforts by supplying the necessary
volunteer agencies throughout the
country for the intelligent control OF
food consumption and securing the
cooperation Of the most capable lead
ers of the very interests most directly
effected, that the exercise of the
powers deputed to him will rest very
successfully upon the good will and
cooperation Of the people themselves
and that the ordinary economic ma
chinery of the country will be left
substantially undisturbed.
Only for Emergency.
The proposed food administration
is intended, of course. only to meet a
manifest emergency and to continue
only while the war lasts. Since It
will be composed for the most part Of
volunteers, there need be no fear for
the possibility Of a permanent bur
eaucraCy arising out OF 1t. All con-
troll OF consumption will disappear
when the emergency has passed. 1t
is with that object in view that the
administration considers it to be OF
preeminent Importance that the ex-
listing associations OF producers and
foodstuffs should be mobilized and
made use Of on a volunteer basis
The successful conduct Of the project
ed food administration by such means
will be the finest possible demonstra-
tiOn of the willingness. the ability,
and the efficiency of democracy, and
OF its justified reliance upon the free
dom of individual initiative The
last thing that any American could
contemplate with equanimity would
be the introduction of anything re-
sembling Prussian autocracy into the
food control in this country.
1t is of vital interest and impor-
tance to every man who produces
food and to every man who takes
part in its distribution that these
policies thus literally administered
should succeed and succeed together.
1t is only in that way that we can
prove 1t to be absolutely unnecessary
to resort to the rigorous and drastic
measures which have proved to be
necessary in some OF the European
countries"
A footnote to the Presidents statement
says:
The Secretary of Agriculture has
been of the opinion from the outset
that special emergency powers for the
regulation OF distribution and con-
sumption during the war should be
vested in the President and that
these powers should not be exercised
by the Department of Agriculture but
by an emergency agency. He has
also entertained the hope that Mr..
Herbert c. Hoover, especially because
of his familiarity with the interna-
tional food conditions, might be des-
ignated by the President to discharge
these powers during the world war.
He is greatly pleased that the Presi-
dent has concluded the matter and
very much hopes that the necessary
powers will be quickly conferred by
the Congress"
