7he Kind Of Garments
 Needed For Belgidns

Monday the Relief Committee in Newport will begin the work of col lecting clothing for the stricken Bel gans. Mrs. J. o. Powell is chairman of the committee and she urges that full cooperation be given by the citi- zens of Newport when they are called upon for clothing next week.
 Every kind of garment, for all ages and both sexes, is urgently needed. In addition, piece goods light, warm canton flannel and other kinds of cloth from which to make garments for newborn babes, ticking, sheeting, and blankets, woolen goods of any kind-and shoes of every kind are asked for. Scrap leather is needed for reparing footwear.
 Since the cothes will be subjected to the hardest kind of wear, only gar ments made of strong and durable ma terials should be sent. It is useless to offer to any afflicted population garments of flimsy material or gau- dy coloring. Make the gifts practical.
 Garments need not be in perfect condition. A hundred thousand des- titute women in the occupied regions are eager to earn small livelihood by repairing gift clothing and mak- ing new garments adapted to needs with which they are familiar.
 Mems Wear Shirts (preferably of light colored flannels), undershirts, underdrawers, trousers, coats, work suits (overalls), suits (2-piece), shoes, overcoats, jerseys, sweater-vests, socks (szes 10 and ID.
 Women's Wear-Skirts, drawers, corset-slips, petticoats, blouses, over- coats, shirts, suits e pieces), pima flores, shoes, cloth hats, knitted caps, stockings (sizes ' and 8).
