THERE is only one way to give to the Red Cross.

IS only a salve to pride.
This is not to say that contributions of only one

For you to give SIS when you can give $25--for
you to give $25 when you can give $500, or to give

For remember, this is not a charity this is a

This is not a time to give because Others give.
This is a time to give because others need.
No man can tell you how much you ought to give.
Except this: that "Over There" the need is so great
that only by cutting to the quick, only by giving all
that you think you can give and then more--only
by giving not a little of your excess but much of it.

Be RUN TODAY
HEAVY TRACK MAY DEFEAT
FAVORITE, WAR CLOUD
-ESCOBA SECOND.

Louisville, KY, May 1l.-An early

track at Churchill Downs this aft
ernoon. Barring Withdrawals, ten
Of the best three-year- in the
land will contend for supremacy in
this, the premier event OF the turf.
Early predictions were that A.
X. Macomber's War Cloud and
Kenneth d. AleXanders' Escoba
would go to the post as first and
second choices respectively, but the
prospects OF heavy track caused a
quick reversal of public opinion, the
consensus of which was that the
chances OF Lucky b and Sewell
Combs considerably were enhanced,
because OF their previous perform
ances in heavy going.
OF the remaining entrants, Amer
lean Eagle, James T. Clark and
Jim Offering, previous to post time,
were well liked and Nica America,
EXterminator and Aurum were not
without followers.
The stake is for three-year-olds
at mile and quarter, and is worth
approximately $4,000, making it the
richest event of the year. OF this
amount the winner will receive $l6,-
900.

MEXICAN SMUGGLERS
COIN MONEY ON SUGAR
Women Don Bustles Filled With
the Contraband.

FL Paso, Texas, May ll.-Gun
runners. ammunition smugglers,
"bootleggers' and other border law
breakers who thrive upon the illicit
traffic between countries character
istic of all borders. have turned
their attention to smuggling sugar
into Mexico.
Sugar is on the American en-
barge list for the period of the war.
SO is lard and also flour and butter
and other foodstuffs. But sugar is
the most popular commodity with
the smugglers. 1t is easy to carry
across, does not spoil and can al
ways be disposed of at high price
once it is over the border. The
smugglers match their wits against
those of the government keenest
secret service men, taking their win
nings in American gold and their
losses in the federal penitentiaries.
Although bustles went out OF
style many years ago, the wearing
of them has been revived by the
sugar smugglers. The Mexican
women of ample girth wear the
rude canvas bustles more for reve-
nue. than for style. Mexican women
confederates of the smugglers fas-
tens these cumbersome affairs about
their waists under their dress shirts
and walk or ride across the interna-
tional bridge. until some curious
Inspector discovers the ruse and
stops the practice by placing the
smuggler in jail.
Kerosene cans are converted into
sugar receptacles by having the top
cut off. false bottom made to con-
tain a pint or less OF kerosene and
the remainder OF the space in the
can filled with sugar. Ten-galion
milk cans have a milk coniainer in
the center with sugar packed around
it in the remainder of the space.
Three of these cans were discovered
with 100 pounds of sugar in each.
Petiicoais with pockets sewed to
them, waists padded with sugar and
exira-size stockings filed with sugar
are used BY the smugglers and their
confederate..

The Oklahoman this morning car
ries, under Tulsa date line, the
following regarding the oil supply
of the country:
"There is a constant reiteration
from semi official sources OF the
statement that the government re
port will show a great decrease III
production in spite OF the fact that
the number of new wells is con
stantIy increasing. This is eXplica-
bic only on the theory that the big
purchasing agencies have been doc
toring the statistics in order to keep
the price down Everybody at all
familiar with the game knows that
the pipe line companies have been
transporting storage oil in large
quantities for weeks and months.
In California the withdrawal OF
storage oil has averaged l,UOOOOO
barrels month for eighteen
monthse. In Oklahoma the aver
age reduction of stocks during the
past two months has been more than
10000 barrels day.
at is true that the foreign mar
kct is demoralized, that is so far as
Europe is concerned, but the needs
of the government and the allies are
far greater than the loss through
the stoppage of export shipments.
The United States government
alone. on the basis of the last avail
able figures, and these are six
months old is using more than
100000 barrels of fuel oil a month
and quantity of gasoline, which
has never been stated According
to the government figures that
much fue loil was not shipped to all
Of the countries in the central alli-
ance the year before the war.
Every barrel of crude that is be-
ing produced is Immediately run
into the pipe line. In fact, pipe
lines are being extended into re-
mote districts in order to get the oil.
And still the drain on the storage
continues. There is no immediate
prospect OF its stopping. The only
prospects are Ranger. Texas. and
Cotton County, Oklahoma. If these
fall down then. indeed, hope is al
most gone. There remains but
