PITS AND SHELLS FOR
GAS MASKS.

The War Department has re
qnested the boys and girls clubs
of the country to help collect fruit
pits and nutshells, the carbon in
which is used in making gas
masks. Contests have been sug
gested among the million club
members by the United States DE
partment Of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges, which
conduct the club work, to- see
which member, which club, which
district, and which State can deli
YER the largest amount Of material
in the shortest time. Each mem
Der should try to furnish at least
200 peach pits, or Z pounds of
shells-enough material for one
mask. Since more and better car
bon is secured from the pits Of
peaches, psunes, and plums than
from other sources, boys and girls
should make it their special bust
ness to see that every home In
their communities saves the pits
of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial
caDneries, hotels, restaurants, and
bakeries. In addition, seeds should
be collected from dates and olives,
and shells and whole nuts be saved
from hickory nuts, butter nuts,
English and native wainnts, and
hazelnuts. The material may be
delivered TO the local Red Cross
headquarters, which are acting ar
central stations for collecting and
