I PASSENGER OVERLAND
GIVEN TO RED CROSS

Among the contributions to the
Red Cross during the past few
days are some articles worthy of
special mention Notably among
them is a passenger Overland au-
tOmobile presented to the Red Cross
by Mr.. A. R. Miller.
When Mr.. Miller drove the car
up to the garage the other day he
was asked if he intended to have it
repaired. To this inquiry he re-
piled, "No, am taking my last
ride in the car; l have given it to
the Red .Cross-She's a little noisy,
out a good old car just the same"
Contrary to expectations the
strange donation will not be used as
a Red Cross ambulance on the
French battle front, but will be sold
to some one who needs rough and
ready car for heavy duty. AS Mr..
Miller says, the car is a little
noisy, but it is in good running or
der and will bring the Red Cross
some real money.

down a clOthesline. He succeeded in
getting to the ground uninjured and
stood like q man In daZe thinking
what his next step would be.
Then he made sudden decision;
why not go to the Brewster house and
ask Philippa Brewster to hide him
for the present. He relied upon her
affection for him, which he figured
could not be wholly dead, to assist him
In gaining this small favor.
A taxi carried him to the house In
short time, and he dashed up the
steps into the hall and past the butler
straight to the room Of the young lady
he had so nearly won. Philippa near
ly dropped from fright.
"Philippa," said Bentley, II am in
trouble. Will you hide me for an hour
or so--it's the last thing will ask Of
you. The police are after me and Hale
knows will come here
Philippa knew not what to do. Her
good sense told her that Bentley
should be left to meet whatever pun
ishment the law saw fit to impose, but
she felt that perhaps after all she
might do this one last favor for the
man she had imagined she loved.
"Go into that closet quickly" she
cried. II hear someone coming"
And Bentley, glad of chance t.
escape, slipped in behind the door JUS
as Annessley and Peter appeared Will
the police demanding to know if Bent
ley had come there.
Philippa nodded.
(which way did he go?" asket
Peter.
"That way" said the girl, pointing
to O wide window that opened on TIN
roof Of the porte-cochere.
The pursuers waited to hear n
more, but departed, while the nervou
Bentley bided his time in the closet
Once only Philippa spoke to him t
tell him she would let him know whel
the coast was clear. That momen
arrived about an hour after his Ell
trance-he lost no time in slippin
downstairs while the girl remained i
her room.

TO USE RICE STRAW
FOR BEDDING HORSES

Rice straw to be used by the
army for bedding horses. Recently
a shipment of rice straw for this
purpose was rejected at one or the
environments on the ground that it
was not included in the official list
Of articles which may be purchased.
The matter was called to the at
tention of Representative Lazaro,
who at first was unable to have the
quartermaster corps add rice straw
to it's list. When, however, he came
before the quartermaster officials
with proof that rice straw had been
purchased by the army for a period
of years for use in Panama, there
was no evading the precedent thus
establish, and today instructions
went out to all quartermaster Off
GERS to accept the rice straw for
bedding purposes.
