RED CROSS CHAPTER
IS AWAITING NEW
INSTRUCTIONS

Sewing and knitting for the SOL
diers has of necessity come almost
to a halt during the past week,
owing to the absence of instructions
from Pacific coast headquarters.
Under the present system, the head
quarters at San Francisco notifies
the chapter in advance what it's
work is to be for the following
months, and sends the materials for
the quota. So far, no instructions
have been received for October and
consequently the work is at a stand
still.
A case of made-up goods is at
headquarters, awaiting orders from
San Francisco. Instructions are
that no consignments of completed
garments be made until notified
from headquarters. A shipment is
ready awaiting instructions.
The work of making surgical
dressings is going along day and
night and shipments from this de-
partment go out as fast as ready.
It is hoped that other work will be
allotted the. chapter soon, al the
manufacture of surgical dressings
will wind up in about one week.
The local Red Cross chapter has
received instructions about Christ
mas packages for boys overseas,
This year the government will re
strict Christmas shipments to one
package for each man and has plac.
ed the work in the hands of the
Red Cross. Labels will be issued
abroad to every man in the service
who will send his label to a rela.
tive or friend in this country.
The latter, on receiving the label
will apply at the nearest Red Cross
chapter and receive a carton, free
of cost, 3x4X9 inches in size. This
will be filled and returned to the
Red Cross chapter for shipment
The package must not exceed two
pounds and Is ounces. A commit.
tee will be appointed for the local
chapter to take care of the work
and give further instructions.

TEACHER SUFFERS
SERIOUS INJURY
MISS CHASE FALLS IN ELEVAT-
OR SHAFT - BOTH
ANKLES BROKEN

Miss Jessie Mae Chase, a grade
teacher in the Goldfield schools,
suffered serious injury at noon to-
day in a fall in the elevator shaft
at the Goldfield hotel.
Miss Chase lives at the hotel and
entered the elevator to go to her
room. Mr.. Emlay, the manager, was
operating the elevator himself. AS
nearly as can be learned, Miss Chase
evidently having forgotten some
thing, jumped or stepped from the
elevator as it started and. falling,
rolled into the elevator shaft. Both
ankles were broken and there we're
two scalp wounds, but no fracture
of the skull, and as far as ian be
learned no internal injuries. Drs.
Mccarthy and Ldgget were called
and responded promptly and Miss
Chase was taken to st. Mary's hos
pital.
The fact that the ankles were
broken Is taken as evidence That IN
falling she alighted on her feet and
the wounds on the scalp are sup
posed to have resulted from strik-
ing the side of the shaft or some Of
the machinery.
Miss Chase was a member of the
teaching force of the Goldfield
schools last year and is well known
and has many friends here. Her
parents and other relatives live at
or near Chico, Cal, and they have
been informed of the accident.
Miss Chase herself, at this writ
ing, has not recovered from the an
esthetics administered and nothing
could be learned from her.

RAD|UM SUBSTITUTE
TO Be USED FOR
MANY THINGS

MILWAUKEE, Oct. II. - A sub
stitute for radium, the world supply
of which is only about three ounc-
es of radium element, has been
found, according to a statement pre-
sented to the American Institute of
Mining Engineers here yesterday by
DIR. Richard B. Moore of the United
States bureau of mines. The insti-
tute closed it's 18th meeting yes
terday after taking up a number OF
important conservation and pro-
du elton measures in connection with
minerals of a war-winning charac-
ter.
Mesothcrium is the radium sub
stitute which, according to DR..
Moore. is excellent in many ways.
This can be used, it is said, just az
efficiently as radium for luminous
paint and it is this S to which
radium is being especially put in
the work on airplane dials, COM
rasses and gun sights. In these
uses it has greatly increased the eff
ficiency of night firing both with
machine guns and artillery, al
though the fact that it has a short
err life makes it much less desirable
fol- this purpose.
It's usefulness in luminous paint
will continue for four or five years,
which is as long as is required for
cheap watches, and which will pre-

ALAMEDA, Cal, Oct. 15.-The
building of a ship is a four-part
epic: construction, launching, cam
o~uflaging and fitting out. The prin-
cipal effort of the plant of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation
here is confined to getting the ship
built. tested and off the ways. The
outstanding law is speed, but this
must be a speed without haste or
neglect. The whole scheme of
things in the yard is so big, so
busy and so dramatic that few OF
the 1000 workers have failed to
catch the spirit.
The plan is to launch a ship about
once in two weeks. The plant is
held by government contract to
the turning out of a certain quota
of ships in a specified period. But
contracts are a mere formality here.
There is no more necessity of bind
ing the Bethlehem workers to a
production contract than there
would be to impose a lighting agree

AMERICAN VETERANS
RETURNING WITH
HONOR MARKS

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, CAL,
Oct. IA. = With the return of con-
stantly increasing contingents of
American officers from France,
where they have been on duty in
the battle lines, the number of serv-
ice and honorary insignia seen here
is growing rapidly.
Latest of these insignia is a sill
yer star, worn on the left sleeve of
an artillery lieutenant, to signify
his membership in the first contin-
gent of $4,000 American soldiers
to go to France. A signal corps Of

Each chevron, it was explained,
indicates six months service in
France, and it is the plan to award
them each succeeding six months,
so that, should the war continue so
long, American soldiers may be
seen wearing five or six such ''serv-
ice stripes"

FOOTPRINTS CONVICT
MEN WHO STARTED
FOREST FIRES

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-Iden-
LITIGATION of footprints led to the
conviction in Sacramento last week
of Warren j.. Davis, rancher, of Elk
creek. Glenn county, and his herd
er, Henry Hulett, on charges of
starting fires in the California ma
tional forest, the United States for
est service officers here have just
been advised.
The two men started six fires on
Oct. 25, 1917, in an effort to clear
a trail. Footprints at the scene
of the fire were identified as those
of Davis and Hulett and their
horses. Sixty-two hundred acres
were burned over and $4,000 worth
of timber was destroyed, the forest
service reported. The first trial
of the men resulted in a disagree
ment, but on retrial they were CON
victen.
The forest service also reported
that Ed Burke had been sentenced
to an 1S-months' term at McNeill's
Island penitentiary for starting a
fire near Upper lake in 1917. The
evidence against him was collected
by C. V. Brereton, inspector of the
forest service.

SUPT. Of SCHOOLS
VISITS GOLDf|ELD

State superintendent Bray spent
Friday visiting the local schools.
Most of the day was spent in exam
lining the work of the students and
comforting with the teachers. Fri
day being the last school day pre-
ceding Liberty day, most of the
rooms had prepared short programs
and Mr.. Bray was present and spoke
to the pupils. At $3.50 he address,
ed the seventh and eighth grades
and ~high-school pupils in the as
sembly hall. He reminded the pu-
pills of the things Goldfield had ac-
complished in the past and
aged them to be optimistic in re-
gard to the future.
The address was filled with pa
triotism, and the speaker appealed
to the pupils to do their bit in
making the world safe for free gov
ernments.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Bray
met all the teachers and outlined
TO them some of the changes in the
course of study. He pointed out
the many new duties that were de-
volving upon the teachers owing to
the war and explained how the
school children, under the direction
of their teachers, could be of aid in
the present emergency.
