Red Cross and aside from the pro. fessional nurses many women are learning to care for the sick in their own homes. This will free more trained nurses to serve in the hos pitals.
 Surgical dressings can be made to best advantage only in specially equipped work rooms and under the personal supervision of surgeons. Also surgical supplies are bulky to handle, and can not be shipped north and returned to advantage. That is why the Panama Valley Chapter of the Red Cross has been asked to specialize on the much needed sweaters and socks of hand knit wool. which our women have been making such a splendid rec ord in manufacturing. One shipment of materials for hospital shirts and pajamas is now being made up by the women of Fairbanks, working in groups organized through the differ ent churches. The Red Cross bu- reau asks that this sewing be done by groups, acting under the super vision of Red Cross representa- tive. and not by individuals in their homes, as it is absolutely impera- tive that the finished articles be uniform and standard and with no variation in the product, any more than if made in factory. A great deal will be accomplished by these sewing groups, and as soon as the weather permits and further ship ment of materials received, sewing bees will be held at the Red Cross headquarters, so that all who can help in this good work may attend.
 The Red Cross needs your money, both in membership fees and in con- tributions to the yarn fund. It also needs your heartiest support, both as citizen of the United States loyal to all the activities of the fed eral government, and as member of the human brotherhood, desiring no unnecessary suffering for any fel- low creature. The Red Cross also needs your time and your service in telling others what the Red Cross means, and in actual sewing or knit ting for the men who are making the world safe place to live in. To the women of America this should be a special appeal, because the soldiers of the allies are fighting, more than any one thing, to keep from the women of their own coun- tries, including America, the unspeak- able horrors and brutish tragedies that have been visited upon the women of Belgium and northern France, upon the women of Poland, Serbia and Armenia-wherever the hand of Prussian conquer-lust has fallen.

 at a moments call to answer the challenge and need of their country; in studying hospital methods and the ambulance service of our allies; and. more perhaps than all, it had learned that the work of the Red Cross is not merely on the field of battle, but equally in building up strong men and women to work for their country, in the many activi. ties of "the rear trenches" at home.
 The American National Red Cross is chartered by an act of congress, and according to this incorporation it's purposes are declared officially to be:
 1.-To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war in accordance with the spirit and conditions of the conference of Geneva of October 1863. and also the treaty of Geneva of 1864. to which the United States gave it's adhesion on March 1st, 1882.

PURITAN GOES
 ASHORE DURING
 A SNOW STORM
Large Fishing Boat Owned by Booth Fisheries Company Is Ashore at Point Cleare and May Prove
 to be a Total Loss
WHISKEY BARRELS WANTEI
Zapora Comes to Seward After Casks With Which to Float Puritan if Storm Does Not Interfere
 With Salvage Work

The fishing boat Puritan, of the Booth Fisheries Company, is hard aground at Cape CIeare, on Montague Island, and if southeaSter springs up will be a total loss. The Puritan ran aground about a week ago during wind and snow stolm. Wireless calls were sent out for help but it was not until three days ago that any boat happened 10 be in the vicinity to ren- der aid.
 The Zapora, of the Independent Fisheries Company, of Seattle, last Thursday, when at sea, received wire jess instructions to go to the aid of the Puritan and she did. At high tiue he Zapora attemCted 10 pull the Puritan into deep water but jagged rocks were holding her firmly.
 The Zapola arrived in port late yes terday afternoon after casks to be used in floating the Puritan. Shortly after midnight the Zapora left for Cape Cleare having secured fifty c'on- ty whiskey barrels here. These will be lashed along the sides of the Puri- tan and are expected to float the craft at high tide.
 Capt. Jacob Hansen, of the Zapora, stated that the Puritan left Seattle two weeks go for the halibut banks along southwestern Alaska. Last Thursday Capt Hansen received wire jess instructions to go to the aid of the Puritan. The captain and three members of the crew of the Puritan were standing Oy the vessel when the Zapora arrived, the others having started out in dories for LaTouche to secure assistance.
 The Zapora tried for two days to pull the Puritan off the rocky beach but was unsuccessful. There is g small hole forward but this will be patched, if the boat is saved, and she will then steam to Seward probably and damages repaired.
 The Puritan Is on of the largest fishing boats on the Pacific, being % tons burden, 125 feet long and fitted up in regular steamer style.

NEW NEEDLE BATH HAS BEEN PLACED
 IN ATLAS BATHS
Latest Scientific Invention of Theurapy Includes Oxygen
 and Electric Jets.

The last word in modern hydro therapeutic apparatus has been in stalled by Prof. James Atlas in his sumptuous baths on Fairfield avenue. The new apparatus has been placed in the plunge room of the Atlas Bath hotel, largest in America
 It has been so arranged by me chanical genius that the water pass ing through it is electrified, oxygen ated, and is directed by series of valves to strike with the light pressure of the shower bath to the higher pressure of the neddIe bath.
 When passing through the Turkish or Roman bath and into the cooling and refreshing jets of the needle bath, one experiences that exhilar- ated feling that comes from the com bined tingling of the electric batter ies and the air bath.
 It is triumph of the bath build CTS art and will be widely sought by those who patronize the Turkish bath. The women of Bridgeport will have an opportunity of seeing it in operation for the first time when they are permitted in the establishment on Friday from g a. m. until p. m.
