RED CROSS NOTES.
Mrs. J. T:>Hull is acting as director
o fthe womens work of Bates county
for few weeks for Miss Tingle.

The following articles have been
shipped from the Bates county chap
ter since March Ist: 10 helmets, 5
mufflers, I.,S socks, Io4 sweaters, 42
| wristlcts, 90 bed shirts, $50 bed socks,
Is hot water bags, IS operating
gowns, IS .pajamas, o3S5 congresses,
6o25 wipes. 3575 4x+ wipes, 32SS
pads.
In response to request from Her
bert c. Hoover, National Food Ad-
ministrator. but still acting as Chair
man of the Committee for the Relief
OF Belgium, Henry p. Davidson has
designated the week of March 18th to
the 25th for the collection OF refugee
garments and worn clothing. The en-
tire machinery of the Red Cross has
been placed at the disposal of the Bel
gian Commission in order to secure
a minimum of 5000 tons OF clothing
for the destitute people of Belgium
and France. Every Red Cross chap
ter is urged to assist in the collection
of this material. The donations will
be shipped at once to the Atlantic
seaboard and sent overseas for
prompt distribution. Garments of all
sorts are badly needed, as are also
shoes. blankets and bedding. As
many OF the local committees which
formerly helped to supply the needs
of the destitute Belgian and French
people have been disbanded, it has
become imperative for the Red Cross
to undertake this necessary and hu-
name service. Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Dawson appeal to the generous Amer
lcan people to give freely OF their sur
plus stock OF clothing in order that
the suffering OF these stricken people
may be minimized. Articles of any
kind which can be spared will be
greatly appreciated. The clothing
should be turned in to the local Red
Cross Branch or Chapter.

The success Of the tank lies in the
fact that 1t lays its own track, so to
speak. and after rolling over it. picks
II up. Now the track is merely belt
made Of fiat links Of steel. This belt
fits over large wheels at either end of
the tank, much as the chain is
stretched around the wheels of an au-
tomobile. On the outside of the belt
ere fixed series of broad links called
track plates, which take a firm grip
on the earth. The tank itself rests on
rollers which in turn rest on the in
side Of the belt. 1t is equipped with
two belts on either side of the cur,
10th Of which are connected with the
driving machinery. When the tank
moves straight ahead, both these belts
are driven at the same speed. 1t is
possible. however, to drive the belts
independently. 1t usually travels at a
speed Of about half mile an hour.
