56S. Cooperation with Auxil-
iaries Doing Relief Work
Among Dependent Families.
(C-2O).

May 6. 1917.
To the Chairmen Of Chapters,
Civilian Relief Committees, and
Detached Red Cross committees:
In connection with many regiments and
separate companies Of the National
Guard, there are, as you doubtless know.
womens auxiliaries composed in whole
or in part of wives Of officers and SOL
diers.
Last summer. during the Mexican trou-
BILE, some of these auXiliaries undertook
relief work among dependent families OF
the enlisted men. In some places the aux
liaries worked in close cooperation with
the Red Cross and In others, for various
reasons, they did not.
It seems worth while at this time to
call attention to the need on the part OF
the Red Cross chapters Of developing and
maintaining the heartest and friendiest
cooperative relations with these groups
who are SO close to the soldiers them
selves.
1t is urged, therefore. that without un-
necessary delay the appropriate commit
tee of each chapter get in touch with off,
Gals of the local auxiliary to consider a
possible consolidation Of relief activities
of the auxiliary and the Red Cross If
consolidation be impra cticable, consider
at least the following points in confer
ence:
l. What family relief work the auxil-
fary is doing or is planning to do.
.. Whether the auxiliary is likely to
command sufficient funds to cover the
needs of families beyond the possible in
come from soldiers pay, plus Government,
allowance.
8. In case the funds are likely to be in
sufficient. endeavor to establish a mutual
ly satisfactory cooperative arrangement
between the auxiliary and the Red Cross.
4. In case their funds are likely to be
sufficient offer Red Cross cooperation in
the way Of counsel and special printed
matter on the subject of family relief
and also invite them to become members
of volunteer training classes which you
may organize along the lines indicated in
pamphlet A r c 16S on this subject issued
by the department of civilian relief.
5. If funds are going to be insufficient
or II no relief work is planned at all, 1t
may be possible to utilize some members
of the auXiliaries especially selected for
fitness .as volunteers in the relief work
OF the Red Cross. AS a rule, wives OF
officers are likely to be found more salts
factory for this service than wives Of
privates. Unless already we'll informed
any persons so selected should be care
fully instructed as to the principles and
methods OF the work Of the Red Cross.
and If practicable be enlisted in relief
training classes for volunteers.
Very truly yours,
ERNEST P. BICKNELL.
Director General Civilian Relief.

County can not be foretold. The time is short and immediate action is necessary.
 Mir Buchanan also stated in th,s connection that he had within this legislative bill a clause which puts the county judge under a bond of $lo.oOo. something that he had advocated for years here. ard which does not exist in the requirements of the statutes and which if this bill passed, as be would like it to pass. would have Garland County the only county in the state wherein the coun- ty judge is under a bond.
 Many who have discussed this pro posed finance law believe that it will serve the ends of putting this county on cash basis Representative Davies had some objections 10 certain phase for the legislation. and his full support, it was reported had not been given the measure. but in a statement published here yesterday, Mir Davies said:
 There is now pending in the house of the forty-first general assembly of Arkansas bill introduced by Mir Riggs which provides for the refund ing. reissuance, cancellation and reg. istration of county warrants Of Gar land County

 If these warrants are all valid claims against the county for the full sum for which they are issued (which fact I am informed is not true). and were purchased at an average price of 60 cents on the dollar. and if the county is unable to establish that they are issued for amounts in excess of the value of the Grticles purchased, then the holders of these warrants would net a profit of SS0,o00 by the passage of this act and the borrowing of money to take care of the indeht- Cdness

OLD AND YOUNG ENJOY
EXCELLENT SLIDING

The young people Of the city and
some that are not so young are en-
joying the splendid sliding to the full
est extent. They are out every eve
ming and many Of the streets of the
city are practically given over to the
siders after or o'clock. High
street is Of course the banner street
of the city and it is now simply a
sheet of ice down which the large hobs
rush at express train speed. This
street has been especially set aside by
the police department for the young
people to slid on and they are taking
advantage of the privilege. The bobs
which have been fixed Up this year
are better than ever and are provided
with horns and one or two of them
even have lights. One young fellow
has big bob on which is an electric
headlight and one of the hand horns
Of q well-known make. From the time
school lets out in the afternoon until
nearly midnight a merry band Of slid
ers can be found on this street most
anytime and the other smaller streets
of the city take care Of the younger
children.

RODERICK ADMITS GLASS
BREAKING AND PAYS FINE

Joe Roderick, the young man who was
arrested on suspicion of being fmplcat-
ed in the break at the George Hull pool
room under the Bay View, was before
the court Wednesday morning and as 1T
was impossible to connect him with the
break directly he was allowed to plead
guilty to breaking the glass out of the
door, he claiming that he stood out in
the alley and threw a bottle through it.
He was fine s. and costs by the judge
and the fine was paid by his brother and
he was allowed to go. The police thought
that the matter Of the robber' was clear
ed up with his arrest but now are more
IN the dark than ever. They are deter
mined to continue work on II and vii.

time as they have been able to clean
up every break but this one and the Mil
