Recent shipments of the Phoenix chapter of tile Red Cross will give the public sonle idea of what the vast amount of work that is being accomp lished in the headquarters in the cham Der of commerce as well as the out side help that is being received from various sources. According to Mrs. w. K. James, chairman of supplies, 12,564 articles have been shipped to the division headquarters. Even at this rate Mrs James says that ten timesthe number of knitted things, in- cluded 200 sets and 800 articles, could have been made had the chapter been able to secure the yarn.
 The knitted articles only represent the yarn we were able to secure and is no measure of the work our Wom- en are able and willing to do,' she declared. Here are the exact figures of the goods expressed: Hospital gar ments- 675 suits of pajamas, 900 bed shirts, 100 bath robes, 150 pair of socks; operating room supplies-96 gowns, 1OS operating caps, 96 helmets, | S4 leggings, l6 hot water bag covers; surgical dressings-20O0 bandages, (hand rolled) 270O gauge dressings, 326 knit sponges, 1S2 pads, 27 fracture pil- | lows: hospital supplies-450 sheets, 200 pillow cases, 400 wash cloths, 1000 | towels, 250 napkins 650 handkerchiefs, There were 125 packages of miscellane- | ous dressings and garments, including shoulder wrags, bed socks, etc. Ten beds at Camp Funston hospital, ap- portioned to the regiment to which l the Arizona soldiers belong was equip ped with 10 pillows, 20 pillow cases, 10 bath robes 10 pair of slippers and dozen towels.
 This with the 112S Christmas pack cts comprised "a bit" of the early winter work of the chapter.

By direction of the office of +. a. Pedcn,
federal food administrator for the state of
Texas, the program for 'less' days IN
brownsville has been changed to conform
with the program that is now being fol-
lowed over the United States. Heretofore,
Brownsville has been observing wheat
less" day on Wednesday and ''meatiess
day on Friday From now on, however. IT
is requested by the food administrators that
the people of Brownsville observe ''meat-
less" day on Tuesday and "wheatless' day
on Wednesday.
In addition to this schedule. the admin
istrator asks that at least one 'meatless
meal each day be observed, a. well n one
Saturday be observed as ''porkless" day.
In letter to ID. l.. Spero, IL. Writ Steele,
director of organization for Texas. in the
office of f. A. Pe,len, the food administra-
tor, says:
''Mr. Pedcn asks me 10 reply To your
favor of the 22nd inst. and advise YOU

negligible if that day were the one OBJ
