GOVERNMENT TAKES
OVER ENTIRE WOOL CLIP
RED CROSS TO PROCURE YARN
ONLY THROUGH SPECIFIC
REouisiTioNs.

Following the recent announcement
by tile War Industries Board that the
government had taken over the entire
wool clip of the country for the en-
suing year, plans have been announc.
ed for the handling of all available
wool in order that the immediate mil
itary needs of the government lie sat.
isfied.
Stringent methods for the conserva.
ton Of raw wool for military purposes
had become so necessary that a
conference was called between repre-.
sentatives of the Wool Commodities
section of the War Industries BOARD
and the American Red Cross.
1t being obvious that military re-
quirements must be met first, it was
decided that In the future the Red
Cross will place orders for yarn to be
delivered to its divisions as fast as
the Bureau of Development at Nation
al headquarters advises the number Of
articles the1chapters in each division
will be required to make.
The new plan will do away with the
practice Of Red Cross chapters buying
yarn independently in the open mar
ket.. The purpose OF the ruling is to
~
conserve yarn and stabilize its price.
The custom of Independent buying
has resulted in chapters bidding
against each other and thereby rails
inS the price of yarn in some in
stances to exorbitant figures.
Chapters can only procure their
yarn upon specific requisition through
their divisional headquarters. To
preclude the keeping of. yarn at home
by individuals all wool must be ac-
counted for in finished garments after
each issue. This move will take all
yarn in the Army and Navy colors
from the public market, so that not
any can be purchased and made up by
individuals into gifts. This will stop
the overlapping Of efforts so that a
soldier or sailor receiving garments
from the Red Cross will not also re-
ceive from one to a dozen duplicate
garments as personal gifts.
