Arizona republican., 1917-12-11

One hundred outfits containing woolen helmets, heavy gloves and arc lie socks, to guard Arizona boys at Camp Funston from the rigors of a climate which at last reports was reg istering five degrees below zero, will be supplied immediately by Phoenix chapter of the American Red Cross.
 Announcement 10 this effect was made at a meeting in the high school auditorium last evening. occasioned by the visit here of Marshall Hale, head Of the Pacific division of the Red Cross, accompanied by a party of his lieutenants who are touring this part of the state in the interests of the organization.
 The action was taken subsequent to tho return of Dwight E. Heard yester- day from a two days visit at Camp Funston. At a meeting yesterday of several of the officials and those most active in local Red Cross work, Mir Heard reported that about 100 Arizona boys who are in the 340th field artil- lery have 10 take care of the horses in Inc stables, and that the government on account of the confusion attendant 10 the undertaking of the new and great task of preparing for a war of unprecedented dimensions, has been unable to fill all of the demands made upon it for the comfort and protection of its soldiers. Contributing to this condition, according to MT. Heard's statements, is another sort of confu- sion which results from the morgan lzed furnishing of certain training camp and battlefront requirements from various parts of the country, re- sulting in dearth of some much needed things in some quarters and an oversupply in others.
 To expedite the arrival of the much needed gloves, helmets and arctics, the local chapter will not take the time to purchase the articles but will probably telegraph the money 70 Kansas City or some nearby point and arrange for the purchase and immediate delivery of them from there to the training camp
 The work will be handled through the canteen committee of the local Red Cross of which committee Roy Goodrich is the chairman, assisted by Mrs. Sims Ely.
 Tell of Salvage Work
 The keynote of the meeting at the high school was the salvage work which represents the next great ma tional movement of the Red Cross and which work has already been un- dertaken with great success in many of the cities of the west. Mrs. T. $ Carlin, upon whom Chairman Roy Goodrich did not call for talk be- cause of her tiring work during tn, day, in an interview prior to the meet. ing stated briefly the details of this work
 Salvage is one of the efforts of tho Red Cross originated in the west anC which is already becoming so widel, recognized as a perpetual source O. much revenue that we feel safe il prophesying that it will be universal, adopted as one of the most logical O. wartime resorts 10 raise funds
 Tt is based upon the principal O saving that which the people are vast ing. It represents a departure iron our usual way of living that can a well be applied in times of peace a in war. We believe that before tn end of the war the plan will be devel oped until a revenue of S3O0,000 eacl month will be realized from it, am the Red Cross in peace times will b wholly dependent upon it for support
 The plan consists primarily of usini over again those articles which are a good as new after being used once, an are easily salable at the source il
