A CONTEST THAT
UTAH SHOULD WIN

Last year Wyoming won the pen
nant awarded each year to the state
buying the largest number of Red
Cross Christmas Seals in proportion
to the population. The people of
that state bought more than two and
two thirds seals for each inhabitant.
Utah last year bought little less
than one seal per person. This year
Utah is a pennant contended. We are
prosperous state, our people are
broad minded, generous and public
spirited. The cause is one that APP
peals strongly to every well informed
patriotic citizen.
War increases tuberculosis We
have learned from the experience of
Europe and Canada that we must
conquer tuberculosis or it will con-
quer us. The Red Cross Seals help
finance this war. The Red Cross
Seal drive is, therefore. a cause in
which every man, woman and child
in our state is vitality interested.
To stimulate interest in this cam
paign the National tuberculosis So
ciety each year awards pennants to
the states and cities selling the larg-
est number of seals per capita. The
states are divided into three classes,
according to population. Class A in
cludes the states with a population
Of less than one and quarter mil
lion. Last year Wyoming sold the
largest number of seals in proportion
to its population, 2.6S seals per cap
tia, and won the pennant for that
class. Utah was eleventh, with 0.9s
seals per capita. However. the year
before we were thirteenth in the list
with only 0.42 per capita to our cred
it. This year we should sell at least
three seals per inhabitant and beat
our neighbours splendid record.
Cities and towns are divided into
ten classes, according to population
Class /. Includes all towns will
population under six hundred, ant
class 10 includes cities with popu
lation of over one million. Last yea
Thornburg, Pennsylvania, won tn
lpennant in class /, with more thai
thirty seals per inhabitant.
Hershey, Pennsylvania, won tn
pennant for class 2, with a sale o
more than seventy-eight seals per in
habitant.
In addition, the National Associa
ton will give this year certificat
of commentator to every communit
selling six seals or more per capita
Thus, every city and town in Uta
has a chance to win national prom
nence by it's generosity and publ
spirit.

fine, soft, lovely wooden stockings,

Oriental Influences.
There are reports of other sources
for styles than Paris. The Orient,
with its bewildering array of things
nysteriously beautiful, sends us rare
color combinations, unusual embroid-
cries and hand woven materials that
are not made elsewhere. One fam
Gus house here in New York has sent
its buyers to China, Japan and to
India instead of to Paris, and we
can look for some very interesting
developments along fashion lines. OF
course, now We have the mandarin
coat, and other Chinese and japanese
garments occdentalized for our ben

color worship going broadcast over

Army of II Million To Care For.
Within few months we shall
have an army of million and

sand men. They must be cared for.
We must provide doctors, nurses,
ambulances and supplies of every
sort
The management of such numbers

bring some extremely delicate but
extremely important problems af-

importance OF this problem, and it
must be faced.
The French and English Red Cross
services have already given more
than hundred million hospital
days" of work A hospital day"
means one day for one patient. The
call on the American Red Cross will
~be fully as great.
But the work in France is not all.
There is much more to he done in

Giving His Services Free.
Like members of the war council,
he is giving his time free OF charge TO
this work. In this way these men arc
doing their Bit.
And that is the spirit OF the whole
Red Cross. 1t is served by more tall
ent given free than probably any other
organization in the world. There are
few salaries. and none that is great
Clerical hire cannot be avoided en-
trely, but from the war council down
the line thru all minor administrative
officers. chapter chairmen and the
like, to workers the time and work
are given for the good OF humanity,
Two things stand out. therefore. The
work OF the Red Cross will be eff
ciently done. Its funds do not go to
pay people for soft jobs. They go TO
do good. On these points the char
table may rest assured.
No limit can be set to the work the
Red Cross must do. But the war
council must have a fund of $780,
600. 900 at once. That is n minimum.
Herbert Hoover directed in his Bel
gian relief commission work the e-
penditure of s350,0O0. 900 and could
have used $500, 600, 900. And that is
only small part of the war map
Aid ut Home Comes First.
The Red Cross will have to meet
not only the demands for relief
abroad but will have enormous work
here at home, and next for our army
afield and Our navy aflOat.
The 100000, ,000 asked for by the
Red Cross is to cover "A considerable
period of relief and reconstruction,
and all the while the powers at war
are spending that much every day of
destruction.
Upon the American Red Cross will
devolve the duty at least OF giving
the people of the war-swept counties
of the allies new start I'm life as fast
as the territories are relinquished by
the retreating Germans. This means
seed and tools, lumber glass and
thousands of cargoes OF the material
of rehabilitations.
In stricken France alone It is estI-
mated that fully six hundred thou
sand persons are suffering from tu-
berculosis as n result of the trench
warfare Millions OF men and women
and children within the borders of
comfortless. To bring relief to mis-
cry, to restore communities, to take
care Of the wounded Of our own ar
mics, soon to be somewhere in France,
would require that the American Red
Cross he carried to n degree Of or
ganization never before seen. For so
gigantic n mission of mercy as here
contemplated probably $500, 900, 600
would not be too great n sum.
Story the Cables Are Telling.
The general nature of the task be-
fore the Red Cross has been indicated.
But no absolute budget can be maze
for II.
To give n complete idea of these
real and present needs The Ameri-
can Red Cross has representatives in
France acting in cooperation with
the French government officials. A
recent cable from them asked inn
mediate shipment of fifty more am
bulance transport sections (havlng a
total of 1850 cars), merely to re-
place those that have been destroyed
in France. But we shall need 20 or
ganize many new ambulance sections

BY JOHN WALKER HARRINGTON.
Never in all the years of the world
has the appeal for sympathy and sue
cor from suffering humanity swelled
to such "a volume as now. Never has
the American heart throbbed so
warmly in response or yearned so
strongly to do the work of relief.
The organization for the attainment
of these ends Is the Red Cross. 1t
alone of all organizations Of relief and
mercy is the legally constituted en-
gine authorized to work with the gov
ernment itself to aid the stricken and
dependent.
The Red Cross In all its branches,
in many nations, is one of the great
est of human organizations. More
persons are working for it and TO
achieve its ends than for any other
single organization in the world They
number millions and are approaching
two millions in America alone.
The funds it handles run into hun
dreds of millions. Its ships plow
all the seas, its trains, its motors and
other means Of conveyance are in
every land.
Since the opening of the great war
the Red Cross has grown at rate
hitherto unprecedented. In America

The president of the United States
is head of the Red Cross. Its growth,
its whole future presented a problem

fairs second to nothing in the world
To administer the affairs of the Red
Cross efficiently. to coordinate the
efforts of its millions of volunteer
workers, to affiliate with 1t the work
of other relief organizations and pre-
vent duplication of effort, to spend
wisely hundreds of millions of dol
lars, TO see that hospitals and hospi-
tai staffs are taken all over the world,
that whole populations arc cared for,
that whole sections of raVaged coun-
try are put on the road to restoration
that is the merest outline OF a work
the plan and scope of which demands
administrative talent without supe-
rior. The kind OF men who span con-
tlnents with railroads furrow the
seven seas with giant steamships or

Red Cross must have the utmost con-
fidence in not only the ability of these
administrators but i'm their singleness

HE'S THE NEW BOSS,
 IS CAPTAIN JACK
Several Changes Take Place in the
 Waterbury Detective Bureau

Waterbury, Dec. 7-Lieutenant John A. Kennaugh. recognized as one of the best detectives in this section of New England. has been named as head of the local detective bureau, succeeding Captain Thomas Dodds' for thirty-nine years tho chief of the bu- reau. Tho elevation of Lieutenant Kennaugh came as a big surprise. but met with universal favor. albeit the retirement of Captain Dodds by the safety board did not meet with popu- lar approval. Jack Kennaugh Will make good at the head of the depart ment, without a doubt, as he IS un- doubtedly one of the ablest men Wio ever took the oath of office in tnlS city.
 He has to his record many arresls of desperate characters-men Who would as soon fill your hide full or lead as to sit down to dinner A1ralo of no man, always courteous, shreWd, and with an insight into human na- ture that would be hard to equal, the new captain will give a good account of himself To be frank, Captain Kennaugh is not a motion picture sleuth He doesn't carry any goat hair false whiskers in his pockets and his shoes do not squeak. And ne isn't forever looking for publicity. He does his work conscientiOusly and we'll and his advancement is we'll deserved tribute to his abilities. Sergeant Bill Keegan will succeed the lieutenant Lieutenant Keegan has been a member of the depart ment for years and he, too, has a good record-so good, in fact, that he was the only man who was mentioned to fill Kennaugh's shoes. PatrOlman John Donahue, always energetic and willing, is now a sergeant, taking Keegan's place. Detective-Sergeant Donahue has been assisting the detec- tive bureau for several years on Vari- ous cases, particularly counterfeiting, and has always "come across" with the goods. Those who have studied the police department admit that the new detective is the best selection the safety commissioners could have made to fill the gap in the detective bureau.
 Captain Dodds, retired. is an inter ested student of fingerprints and has been for years in direct commun1ca- tion with the National Bureau of Identification.
 Patrolman Martin Moore was re- tired at the same time as Captain Dodds, and this retirement, too, came as a surprise.

FOOD SITUATION
 OVER IN NORWAY
Those in Authority Say People
 Have Been Too Optimistic

Christiania, Nov 19.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- The food situation in Norway has grown from bad to worse, especially since the American embargo was 1m- posed. So long as the commercial re- lations could be maintained between Norway and the United States. the inn port of food was about big enough to meet the consumers demand. Except for the steadily increasing prices of all articles of food, everything could be bought as before, the only form of
 rationing being sugar, which could
 only be bought from government
 stores two pounds at a time.
 As a, matter of fact, the governme ent
 and especially the food minister had
 been too optimistic. When cable
 grams from Washington stated that the American government was going to place an embargo on different ar ticles, the answer from the Norwegian
 government to the press, asking how this would affect Norway, was that it
 only meant that Norway should guar
 antee that nothing would be re-
 exported to Germany, and then Nor
 way would get all it needed.
 At last, during the past two months 1t has dawned on the government that Uncle Sam means business and that Norway cannot expect special favors as a favorite friend.
 After the importation of grain and flour stopped, the government estab- lished grain monopoly. taking charge of all grain imported and pro- duced here. The farmers are not al- lowed to sell their crops to anyone but the government and at a fixed price, The nation will be put on flour or bread rations-every person, adult 1 or child, being allowed 25 pounds of 1 bread monthly, or 1 6 pounds of unsift- ed flour The people, however, are 1 instructed to mix potatoes in the bread dough. With this years crop
 and the imported grain in storage
 Norway has enough flour till February ] or March. It is hoped here that the United States will grant export li- censes for some of the grain bought l there by Norwegian importers and and l Norwegian government which now is ready for shipment.
 1 Norway is dependent on imported l sugar, as no sugar is produced here ] The consumption of sugar is still un-
 limited. Candy factories turn out as l much candy as before and no sugal l card is in use here, as in Sweden. l Last summer an ordinance was l passed putting motor vehicles and ! motor craft on rations of gasoline
 The result was that autom obiles were
 used more freely than ever. Tho
 American embargo again forced the l authorities to action and tho sale o1 gasoline for use in private cars was

entirely stopped beginning October 1. TaNicabs were only permitted to op- crate from a. m. to D. n., and the streets in the city are now as quiet and free from noise as they were twenty years ago.
 The supply of kerosene is becom- ing very low, with no prospect of re- placement. For fishers this is disas- trous, as all along the coast they are using kerosene driven motor boats. The country population and the poor people in the cities using kerosene for light and cooking are hard hit, as every family is only allowed two gall Ions a month.
 The scarcity of fat is felt more and more every day. The majority of the population have been using margarine instead of butter, but now that the raw stuffs for this product are not allowed to be exported from the United States, the margarine produc- tion is reduced every week. Grocers have been forced to put their custom CTS on allowance, nobody receiving more than a pound at once. Norway is facing a fat shortage and the nation will have to be rationed.
 As for fuel, the people are put on rations except those who can take care of themselves and afford to pay the prices for coal and coke imported from Great Britain.
 Everybody asks, "Why does the government entirely stop exports if thereby more favorable importing conditions can be established with the Allies?" But no official answer is given.
