Inasmuch as the soldiers abroad will

shells. date seeds. the pits OF peaches,
spricots. prunes, plums, cherries and
olives and the shells of walnuts, butter
nuts. hickory nuts and Brazil nuts, a
nationwide campaign has been begun
by the American Red Cross. It was an
nounced officially yesterday, to collect
for the Government the vast quantities
Of these necessary materials which now
ara wasted.
The peach pit in the garbage pail. It
was pointed out yesterday, may seem
the last word in uselessness: but unless
the hotel men and the housewives of the

fruits and nuts just listed instead of
throwing them on the garbage heap the
Gas Defence branch of the army will
soon be hard put to II to save our lads
abroad from the gas attacks OF the Hun
Every soldier who goes into action. or
into the general neighborhood OF action
abroad, must have a gas mask or come
in imminent danger of death. To every
gas mask is attached a small tin re-
ceptacle through the contents of which
must pass the enemy gas before the
allied soldier takes a breath. A big
proportion Of the contents of the gas
mask receptacles In graduated char
coal, obtained by dumping bushels and
tons and carloads OF the shells and pits
named into ovens that are always yawn-
ing for more at the gas mask plants
throughout the country.
The need for the shells and pits is so
urgent that the use of an organisation
OF far reaching powers. such as tho Red
Cross. has become n necessity. IL the
material Is to be gathered with suffi-
Client speed. Every Red Cross chapter
In the United States will take charge OF
local collections and send the shells to
various collection centres" where the
shells and pits will be forwarded to the
Government School children and the
Boy Scouts will help.
The collection OF the pits and shells
Of the greater city will be begun this

After conference with Magistrate

Magistrate william McAdoo gave fresh
Impetus to Cobbs campaign for the
Americanization OF motor vehicle opera
tors to the point where they will all have
at least working knowledge OF the
English language by enlisting the aid OF
Secretary of State Hugo In a letter to
Mr.. Hugo he wrote:
Judge Cobb had man before him
to-day with a license card, a young, fell
low who grossly violated the rules Of the
road and who professed neither to speak,
read nor write English. He appeared
thoroughly stupid. was of foreign ex-
traction and had been In this country
only two and a half years.
II know you will agree with me in
saying this man ought never to have had
a license. I often say to these fellows
Suppose went over to your country in
Europe under the same conditions and
without speaking your language do you
think I would be licensed and allowed to
run a powerful vehicle on the public
roads?"
1t Is planned to give ignorant opera
tors OF motor vehicles the option of sur
rendering their license cards or being
sentenced to jail and fined the maximum

Hudson Church's Work Cited.

Mr.. Cooke cited the splendid work last
winter OF churches in Hudson. where 1t
was demonstrated what churches acting
under this plan can do to help along
'oal conservation. The churches in
rolved were the Reformed, Episcopal.
Methodist. Universalist, Lutheran. Pres
byterian and Baptist. The total savings
Of, these congregations aggregated l72
tons OF coal.
I'VE are hopeful" Mr.. Cooke wrote
10 the ministers. that all communities
will emulate the example of Hudson
md we will be pleased to have your
advice at your earliest convenience
whether it will be agreeable to you to
give this signal service"
1t is a foregone conclusion that every
clergyman will bring to the attention OF
his congregation the State Fuel Admins
traitors invitation to the churches to Join
in the programme. IT Is probable that
many ministers will emphasize from
their pulpits the necessity of the churches
taking the lead In the plans to save coal.
In this way the Governments message
will be carried into the homes, and thou
sands of persons who otherwise might
not appreciate the Importance of coal
saving will perform their share Of. a
patriotic service.

COOKE OUTLINES PLAN

Delos w. Cooke. State Fuel Admins
traitor. has outlined a plan whereby the
clergymen of the State can cooperate
In the nationwide coal saving pro-
gramme by holding religious services
during the winter months In Sunday
school rooms or other small auditoriums
instead of in the main body OF the
church.
1T Is felt" Mr.. Cooke says in a let
ter to all clergymen," that where facili-
ties exist for using smaller audtoriums
churches should receive coal to the ex-
'ent of two-thirds of their usual require
n.-nts, waving the remaining third of
their years supply. BY the Use OF
smaller buildings for the winter 1t Is
believed, the two-thirds supply will be
sufficient for their purposes. Perhaps
1t will allow Of the main church build
ing being heated in the spring and fall
when not SO much coal would be
needed"
