The 1000 men stationed at Douglas are being supplied with knitted art icles, not a few of which have been sen rom the Phoenix chapter of the Re- Cross ln response to orders from tn, Pacific division headquarters. Last weeks shipment to the soldiers on the border consisted of 127 sweaters, 64 pair of socks, 30 mufflers and 36 wristlets. Two boxes week will be forwarded to Douglas until the men are fully equipped.
 Mrs. W. K. James, chairman of SUD- plies of the local chapter received 200 pounds of yarn on Wednesday the stock being exhausted by Friday noon. An additional supply has been ordered and announcement will be made when it arrives.
 The way the women of the chapter and it's branches are doing their bit Is being demonstrated daily by the large amount of articles that are sent to headquarters in the chamber of commerce to be checked for shipment.
 In two days last week S1 sweaters, 14 dozen pair of socks. 2Is dozen wristletS, 1 F dozen mufflers and 3 dozen helmets were received, not few articles coming from Mesa and Tempe. With the constant call on the chapter it is necessary that this amount of work be kept up and from the number of auxiliaries being formed 1t looks as quite possible. The Buck eye auxiliary, organized a week ago, has been supplied from the Phoenix chapter. Palo Verde has sent in an order for more material through its secretary Mrs. William Wilton and shipments are received from the Ray branch every Wednesday. Red Cross workers are considered as a part of the National Army and so 1t is that every one connected with the association are made to understand that they are to obey orders without | question. This is one of the first rules | given them according to the word from the division headquarters reminding | all workers that obedience is a Red Cross watch word. It should be ob- served from a patriotic standpoint, even though in every case an explana- tion of orders are not fully given, says the division manager.
