Scott, general manager Of the Red
Cross
1t has been reported at National
headquarters that some firms through
out The country are stating that if
Red Cross chapters cannot obtain
yarn from headquarters they may buy
direct wherever they can secure yarn,
and that this applies to all the larger
chapters including St. Louis, Chicago,
Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati and
others.
Plan DiSapproved.
1t was due to the fact that prOmis-
cuous chapter buying made it difficult
to control the stocks, that the War
industries board decided TO control
practically all wool for purely gov
ernmeatal uses.
The War Industries board has made
repeated requests that all purchases
of hand knitting yarns for the Am
erican Fed Cross be centralized at
National headquarters i'll Washington.
Through this cans it was hoped to
insure a proper distributing of hand
knitting yarn and knitted garments
and it was also hoped that this would
put q stop to scattered buying. Be
cause of tho assurance of the Red
Cross that every effort would be made
to control the purchase of yarn
through National headquarters, as
sistance in securing the various stocks
throughout the cOntry was given by
the War Industries board.

my fathers generous check had
enabled me to manage. and Lillians
presence was distinctly embarrassing.
i didn't wish her to suspect that | was
in the least troubled about finances,

Her gayety was q little too forced
her banter a bit too ready. 1t was al
most as if she had rehearsed q lit

Leading physicians report this morn
ing that although they still have .

days ago. DR.. A. X. West, head Of the

that the spread OF the disease has been

tinue to exercise due precautions and
the citizens take due care OF themselves
that the crisis will have been safely
passed.
DR.. J. G. Street, acting commission
er OF public affairs, spoke very hopeful
ly OF the situation this morning and
said that while new cases are being
reported daily he believed the spread
of the malady had been checked. In
speaking OF reopening the city schools,
theaters and other public places, DR..
Street said that this matter would be
left entirely with DR.. G. M. Hunter,
city physician, and the health depart

not favor even considering such an ae-

it would depend entirely upon the sit
