army order would have ben thrown
away. In Los Angeles alone 10000 of
these spoOls and little tin boxes were
thrown into office waste baskets a
month.
Mrs. Carlin, acting for Mrs. Stevens,
went to the army officials and asked
for the empty spools and boxes in that
single consignment of typewriting ma
terials. The Los Angeles chapter got
the worthless pieces of metal, the
spools and boxes win go back to the
manufacturer for consideration, and
out of this one transaction the Red
Cross treasury is enriched trife more
than $l,500-all this by the saving and
selling of tiny bits of metal which, if
it were not for the Stevens idea, would
have gone to litter dump heap.
As the plan progresses it has be-
.ome patent to Mrs. Stevens and those
helping her that the materials to be sal
vaged may be almost limitless Manu-
facturers who at first baked at buying
back worthless spools, cold cream
bottles, metal containers and the like
welcomed the idea with gusto the min
ute Mrs. Stevens hit upon the idea of
having little legends printed-frst hav-
ing obtained permission from the Red
Cross to do sO-which were placed upon
the articles to inform the public that
seconds were being sold solely be-.
cause the spools, etc, had been "Sal-
vaged by the Los Angeles Chapter of
the Red Cross
When the right time comes along it
is intended to have manufacturers of
cameras. chewing gums, toilet waters,
sobaccos and innumerable other goods
inclose in each package of their goods
notices to the public that the box spool,
foil, bottle or what not enclosed NAV
be salvaged by the Red Cross. Those
who have made the closest study of
| the results of Mrs. Stevens s idea in
| the West are convinced that if the plan
| is made a national one the Red Cross
will become absolutely self-supporting
| thereby within short time.
| Old newspapers are the biggest fnan-
eial help in all the salvaging, but to
| bring in best returns the newspapers
| should be bundled so that the bundles
contain only news print paper Bundles
| of newspapers alone bring SIT a ton
whereas baled waste containing
all sorts of waste paper mixed in with

Stevens and her coworkers at only SIS
| q ton.
In Los Angeles the local school houses
are used as centers for the collecting
of the articles salvaged, and the cit,
is divided into districts with a woman
volunteer collecting in each four block,
and a captain directing the work OF
forty blocks. Even that king pin O.
organizers, Billy Sunday, was amazed
with the systematized organization nov
in force in Los Angeles And the worl
is now under way TO effect a similar or
ganization until it is nation wide.

Protection of Gas Mask.

In answer to a statement that the
ordinary gas mask used by the British
forces is an adequate protection against
mustard gas, the secretary to the war
office declared that the ordinary gas
mask gives complete protection against
this gas 1t is so made as to exclude
the possibility of poisoned air being
drawn from the outside. The material
of which the mask is made is specially
tested to insure that it is gas proof.
The mask itself is made in various sizes.

GREAT MAJORITY
Three Quarters of Whole World Now
Lined Up in War Against

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27-More than
three fourths of the world Is popula-
zion lives in the Is countries at war
with Germany or her allies, according
o compilations from government
sources.
The persons living within the central
countries are Outnumbered more than
seven times by anti-Germanic popula-
ions, and the proportion is swelled
wen higher if consideration is taken of
he population of the 10 countries which
have broken relations with the central
powers.
Germany S enemies now include near
Y all the white and yellow races, and
he physical resources of about half the
world S area are modified against the
forces of Germany, Austria Hungary,

watching intensely the play of influ-
,nces within the few remaining neu-
trails, including Spain, Netherlands,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Switzer-
land, and in America, Argentina, Vene-
zuela, Paraguay, Columbia, Ecuador,
Salvador and Mexico.
Similarly, unusual interest is felt
here in the future course of the ma
| tons which have broken relations with
Germany or her allies. These are
| Brazil, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Guatemala,
Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua Peru, Uru-
quay and San Domingo
