RED CROSS DONATIONS
CO BEYOND THE COAL

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2S.-Reports
coming in today to the headquarters
of the Southern division of the AM
erican Red Cross, located here, indi-
cate that this division will probably
reach a total subscription of $4,000
900 in the second Red Cross drive,
which has for it national goal the sum
of 100000, 900. The Southern division
was the first in the country to go
over the top of it's quota, which was
$3,0O0,000. If its total subscriptions
reach 100000, as now seems quite
probable, it will enjoy the enviable
record of oversubscribing it's quota by
3S 1-3 per cent Up to last night the
total subscriptions were $500, 600,
and many communities were still at
work The wonderful response of the
people in this section to the Liberty
Loan and the Red Cross fund is con-
elusive evidence of the fact that a
high tide of patriotism is rising
throughout the south.

THIS Is THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City, Mich, received o hurry
uu call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hours. a request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
a hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
m scores were piled up ready for
shipment Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shining by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls the little sisters, were wait
inc for her at the door as she de-
parted
Red Cross Dunnaae Bags.
I'VE are awfully sorry, ma'am," said
the older of the two, but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tomor-
row we have to-" And, without Hn-
isbing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of bags.
ut is too bad you can't come back, "
said the superintendent, "but / want
70 thank you, and we all thank you.
for the work you've done today. You
two have teen a wonderful help, and
that nile of bags wouldn't be nearly so
big If you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super
,ntendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
,shed TO see the tive little girls stand
ing In the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see your she
said 81 thought you said you couldn't
comet"
"Oh. we knew those Red Cross bags
4rst had to be finished for the sol
diors." exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, land we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the
washing done early ]"

.CAPES FOR WINTER
Warm, Roomy Garments Are
Sure, to Be in High Favor.
VIII Do Good Service for Afternoon or
Evening Wear and Protect Most
Elaborate Frocks.

The problem of planning your win
ter wardrobe this autumn is not only
one of style and becomingness. It is
actually one Of planning to keep
warm, for undoubtedly with mini
mum of artificial heat In our, houses
and q minimum Of wooden clothes on
the market, good warm clothes will be
in great demand and will be according
" high in price, comments a fashion
correspondent.
Now, If you are wondering about
your next winters wrap you cannot
dc better than to decide on a cape or
cape coat. There was danger last win
ter when they were first launched and
taken up enthusiastically among well
dressed women In the larger cities that
they would be run to the ground be-
fore this autumn came around. But
they weren't. The public did not grasp
the idea with such mad enthusiasm
that they were ready to cast it aside
in q few months. In fact, the price of
capes was too considerable to permit
this to happen, and the price has re-
manned fairly high because cape re-
Quires quite little material and it is
the sort of garment in which really
inferior fabric cannot be camoufaged
by the cut and design into looking
smart The success of cape depends
on actual quality, not on skillful ma
nipulation or designing of the ma
terial.
And now manufacturers Of wOmen'S
clothes and dressmakers say that capcs
are to be in the best favor this Win
ter. So far as style is concerned you
will not go wrong in making this Sc
lection. Another advantage about
cape is this, that while this year it
will look quite all right for street
wear and going about the stores and
shops in the daytime, it will also 10
service for afternoon and evening
wear. 1t will serve to add warmth to
the simplest street frOck and likewise
To protect the most elaborate of your
dress-up frocks.
Moreover, Il cape can be worn over
an autumn or spring suit to very nice
advantage, although coat might not
slip over the sleeves of suit. Hence,
you can make leftover light
weight suit suffice all winter if you
choose
And there is another advantage. DIFF
fcult as it is to make cheap capes
look well, you actually can make a
cape at home without having it look
LOme-madey, which is more than one
can say of most homemade coats. You
see, everything is in the material, and
You would be far wiser to put, say,
SIS or $18 in material of fine quality
from which to make cape than to try
q ready-made wrap that you could buy
for that price.

Plane Shapes Confusing.

American battleplanes are now
beginning to make their appearance
on the western front, according to the
Scientific American, and it is Of in
terest TO note the changes undergone
by well-known types of domestic ma
chimes. Certain of our machines have
taken on characteristics Of German
battleplanes, such as the tapered front,
propeller pot and ffshlike fuselGge,
while others have taken on the char
acteristics of the French Spad and the
British Sopwith fighter. The Ameri-
can machines in several instances are
inclosing the Vsshape engines, leav-
ing only the exhaust pipes showing,
and these are grouped into one pipe on
either side, which leads back and ends
In n perforated taper: One we'll
known type of American airplane has
been so materially changed of late
that 1t Is at first confounded with the
French Spad the engine is entirely
inclosed; the wing arrangement is sim
liar to the Spad; and the strut ar
rangement is identical to the French
machine.

Tabo> ed

Afternoon Teas AMI Theatre SupperS
.4 Tabo~ed
Montpelier, Nov. 1.-The fourth
meal is just as unne :essary as the
fifth wheel on a cart. 1t is not nee
essary for health, AMI not necessary
for social purposes at this time.
The Food Admin <tration recog-
nizes the value of the sociability en-
gendered by function where re-
treshments are served. But it be-
lieves thai any such function, such as
"a theatre supper or afteln noon tea,
which constitutes a fourth meal, is
unpatriotic and contrary to the prin-
ciples OF conservation and labor.
The Food Administration is there
fore requesting that afternoon teas
and theatre suppers be discontinued
until after the war. The consumption
of sandwiches, cakes and sugar which
usually accompany these meals, espec-
lay afternoon tea, makes an unnec-
essary waste of foodstuffs.
There vii often be legitimate occa-
sions for banquets, club lunches,
church suppers, or similar functions.
In such case the Food Administration
asks that the hours when these are
held be so regulated that the banquet
or luncheon takes the place of one of
the three regular home meals. In
deed such a meal may we'll serve as a
lesson in Intelligent food conserva-
ton.
In France and England no meals
are served after nine o'clock at
night, and in both countries public
eating places arec losed for definite
period during the afternoon. Our
people, who have been spared so
much OF the hardships which the
French and English have undergone,
should be glad to cut out all fourth
meals and be content with the three
simple ones which are enough for
health. Let the three be eaten in
the home, or in the public eating
place, or let one be social function
whatever they are, make them simple
plan them in accordance with patriot
ism and intelligent food conservation
and limit them to three

Exit Turkey

The world will breathe freer now
that the unspeakable Turk is out of
the. war. For an honorable foe there
is always o measure of respect.
Men can look with some degree of
complacency upon an enemy who
fights with honorable weapons. But
for barbariars and bloodthirsty as
sassins there can be nothing but con-
tempt. Too long the Turk has been
hired assassin, he has outraged ev-
cry, sentiment of humanity and the
world will be pleased to see him make
his exit from the stage of action.
Thus, one by one the rotten props
are falling from under the throne of
the Kaiser. Thus, little by little, the
iron ring of war is being drawn
around the plague spot of Europe.
Thus, the down-trodden races of
Europe and Asia are beginning to see
the dawn Of the new day of Free
dom. 1t will soon be daylight
around the world. Herald.

following words:
'sHaving sent our boys from our

sisters and brothers of our boys by
proxy; all these workers strive to
make him content when he is down
cast in order that he may avoid the
pitfalls of temptation.
"These boys have offered their al
for us. If occasion demands it we
should gladly give them all we pos
sess. The unity of the campaign
should warm the heart of every Am
erican because in that unity Cath
olic, Protestant and the Jew have
gloriously merged their efforts to-
ward one shining goal-the COLDER
goal of good-fellowship." "a
