R'eedd4'csrsos,,

The Red Cross chapters in the
northern division have just received a
message from +. T. Heffelfnger, di-
vision manager of the Red Cross, in
which he has the following to say
about the Belgian clothing drive,
which started this morning:
Back of the German wall that has
hemmed in Belgium and a part of
northern France. ten million human
beings look to US for clothing. as we'll
as food. We, who are we'll clothed,
can hardly appreciate in what dire
need these people are for lack of ne
cessities. Stocks of clothing and raw
material are long since exhausted.
There are no imports other than those
the commission for relief in Belgium
has been permitted to make, and these
is now short of both clothing and raw
material, SO the commission can no
longer purchase what is needed. But
you a give it.
Every household in the land has
some spare clothing, worn or. out
grown, of little use here, but desper-
ately needed by the destitute there.
This extract from a letter of a we'll
to-do lady of Brussels shows the con-
ditions exactly:
"'Perhaps O will laugh when you
hear that I veal a cloak made from
my husbands garde civique overcoat,
a waist made from his football shirt.
and a skirt made of a dyed bedsheet.
Mother had a suit made of the table
cloth, J.-and M. have cloaks made of
wooden blankets, and S. a dress made
of burlap. But all this is only anus
ing in comparison with the wretched-
ness of the population. After all, we
remain calm and confident of vic
tory"
A. recent Brussels advertisement
says: Il will give up to 1875 francs
(s25) for new or worn bed Sheets"
There is an immediate need for
every sort of garment, blankets,
sheets and shoes.
The very wonderful results Of the
clothing campaign of last March as
sisted in helping to meet the demands,
but when we realize that there are ten
million inhabitants in the occupied re-
gions, most Of whom must look to the
outside world for protection against
the rigors of winter, it is seen that
we cannot send too much. AS long as
the war lasts, Belgium n occupied
France must depend chiefly on Amer
lea for aid. To insure the steady sup
ply, of garments which are so much
needed, we appeal again to the gener-
osity Of the American public to give,
and give largely. 1.
The chapters in the Northern di-
vision responded s%plendidly to the APP
peal made last March and l know that
they will do it again.

THE FUEL VALUE OF WOOD

To relieve the coal shortage by
burning wood, we can figure,
roughly speaking, that two
pounds of seasoned wood have a
fuel value equal to one pound of
coal, according to experts of the
Forest Service. Oak, beech,
birch and hard maple weigh
about 1000 lbs. per cord and
equals a ton. It takes II cord
of short leaf pine, hemlock and
soft maple to equal ton of coal
and 2 cords of cedar, poppel,
Norway pine, bassYood, spruce
and white pine weighing about
1000 lbs. to the cord to equal a
ton of coal, but if you buy by
weight and you can have 2 lbs.
Of dry wood, ready for the fire,
for the same or less than lb. of
coal you will save money and aid
the nation in the fuel question.
and even if it should come some
what higher, it is a good war
measure to save coal where it is
possible.-Ludvig Mosb@k.
