WANT OLD CLOTHES
FOR THE BELGIANS
Local Red Cross Branch will Re-
ceive Contributions Until We'd
nesday Evening, March 10th

Several weeks ago the local branch
of the American Red Cross accepted
considerable quantity of old cloth
ing with the understanding that such
of it as could not be sold would be
turned over to the Belgian Relief COM
mission. The shipment of old cloth
ing to Belgium, however, was sus-
pended for some time because of the
ship shortage, and the clothing has
been held here awaiting some means
of disposing of it. This means is now
at hand.
Last week the Northwestern division
of the Red Cross sent official notice
to all chapters that call had been
made by the Belgian Relief commits
sion for used clothing. Herbert Hoov-
er, the head of the commission, has
asked the Red Cross to lend the ma
chinery of its organization for this
work and the Red Cross, thru Mr..
Davidson, has agreed to do so.
Not only will the local branch for
ward the clothing it has on hand, but
it will receive other contributions of
clothing until Wednesday evening, the
Goth of March.
The following is the list of garments
needed, which must be of strong, dur
able material:
Mems shirts preferably of light col
ored flannels, undershirts, under
drawers, trousers, coats, overalls,
suits (3-piece), shoes, socks Isles 10k

their decisions. Three members of the

commended by all who heard the pro-
gram.

was in a class by herself. In her
rendition of Longfellow's "Wreck Of
the Hesperus," this talented little
reader had every opportunity to use
her splendid dramatic voice with the
most telling effect. She is one of the
best speakers ever appearing before

the unspeakable terror Of feeling that
somewhere aboard, hidden in some

being, with murder in his crazed brain;
a being devoid Of all impulse, save the
frenzy Of hate, the desire for destruc-

deck, already darkened by the gath
ering shadows Of night, instantly
Gained me, and brought back my pow
ers Of reasoning. The man was not
aft; then he must be forward. It was
impossible to hide long on shipboard in
the face Of an intelligent search. OF
one thing was decided-if the fellow
had, indeed, succeeded in slipping for
