Care COMMITTEES

SdAC SQullulIUCC
More than 800 American women
now residing in England, members
OF he Care Committee Of the
American Red Cross, are regularly
visiting wounded American soldiers
now in the hospitals in Great Britain.
Mrs. Robert Peet Skinner, wife of
n American consul general, is in
charge of the headquarters of the
committee which has branch organ
izatlons in twenty cities in England,
ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The committee is Immediately
notified OF the arrival in any hospi-
tai OF an American soldier. whether
he belongs to the American army or
to the British or Canadian forces.
More than 5000 Americans in hos
pitfalls have received personal calls
from the women of the care COM
mittee during the last few weeks.
The visitors make a special effort
to keep the men in touch with their
relatives and friends at home. Use
full things to year., delicacies. COM
forts of various kinds and copies Of
their home newspapers, are provid-
ed by the committee.
Children Welcome.
In P%iperno, the heart Of Italy's
fever country, Red Cross workers re-
lcently concluded they had found a
childless Italian town. An hour Of
walking through its crooked streets
had revealed no sign of child life. 1t
was not until the party reached an
old convent that the children were
found.
THE place was flooded with
them,'' a y the report. ''They were
more numerous and noisier than you
would have believed possible, v e.
in Italy, We learned .afterward that
nearly al thousand were on hand that
day. They surged about US, bearing
a homemade American flag, lacking
a few stars and a stripe or two, but
a souvenir that would have made any
heart beat faster. 1t was
impossible to hear a word through
the din Of welcome. 1t was a job to
keep from stepping on the smallest
of the children. The superintendent
rescued us and took us to the store
room and there pointed to the re-
; serves of beef, lard, rice, beans and
flour. The children knew who had
sent these provisions and there had
been no need to suggest an ovation

Protest Bio Game SIauuhtsr.

The 1900 members of the New
Mexico game protective association
are highly wrought up over an at
tempt to get a bill through congress
providing for the cold storage Of
moose meat, white mountain sheep
and caribou meat, in Alaska, and for
the sale Of such meats all the year
round.
The association considers this a
cruel, unnecessary measure, which
originated in selfishness, on the pGrt
Of few people in Alaska who hpsi-
tate not to exterminate rare wild
game simply because thoy conceive
that the beef trust" is charging them
too much for beef. For this they
would kill the native wild animnls, al
ready vanishing from the western
hemisphere.
An emphatic protest against the
commercial slaughter of Alaska's big
game has been telegraphed 10 Food
Commissioner Hoover. Congressman
Walton and the house committee on
territories, by the New MeA'"o Game

Federal Food Administrator Ralph

ification Of the meatless day rule,
eliminating the porkless Saturday.
Mutton may now be consumed on any
day and the meatless meal is no
more.
That leaves only one meatless day
Tuesday each week. "Meatless''
means without ANY beef or hog pro-
ducts.
If the meatless day can be OBJ
served absolutely it will result in tho
saving Of one-seventh Of the normal
consumption Of beef and pork and
their products.
The relaxation of the meatless pro-
gram is designed to make the wheat
less days more endurable and to sus
tain the market for meat products.

been busy for two weeks past with
the March term Of the Grant county

Grant county docket is a long one,
with one o. the heaviest civil dock
cts in the history Of the county, but
the civil cases are dwarfod into in
Significance by the criminal docket,
which has ten murder cases, the Of
Tense in each having been committed
since the October term Of court. One
Of the most impcrtansof these cases
is that of John Wilson and James
Smell, the soldiers who killed their
chauffeur, P. 3. Burke, near Separ,
about a two months ago. This breaks
all records in the county for murder
trials, and one more would be added
to the list but for the fact that the
murderer Of Deputy Sheriff James
Dickerson, one AlejO Bustos, has thus
far evaded captSrs, having escaped
across the border, it is believed. This
murder occurred near Hanover in
January.

term.
