SEE THAT THEY GET 1T.

Everyone of Colorados 10000 SOL
diers should carry the full amount of
war risk insurance offered by the
government. He should carry 1t both
for the sake of his relatives and for
lis own future welfare after the war.
On February 18th, the time for ap-
plication for this insurance will have
expired for practically all of Color
ado's soldiers. The importance of
the insurance and the shortness of
time make it imperative that rela-
tives Immediately urge Colorado men
in the service to make their applica-
tions. They should telegraph, If pos
sible and not depend upon letters.
Governor julius C. Gunter and the
Colorado Council of Defense have
wired to the commandments of all
camps where Colorado men are sta
toned, urging the men to get the
insurance. They have telegraphed al,
SO to the chairmen of all county
councils of defense asking them to
advise soldiers relatives OF the nec-
essity OF quick action.
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
has declared the week from February
to 10 War Risk Insurance Week"
The national government is doing ev-
erything in its power to get the SOL
diers to take out insurance but thous-
ands of men have not done SO.
The cost is the lowest ever known
In the worlds history and every SOL
dier can afford II. After the war ev-
cry soldier will be able to continue
it, although he may not then be
good insurance risk" During the
war his relatives will be protected.
Many soldiers have only taken out
small amounts. They should take out
the full amount. $4,000.

FIFTY MEN REQUIRED
FOR EACH AlRPlANE

In statement issued by Howard
E. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft
Production Board, is the following:
I'm discussing the accomplishments
of the air service in the consumma-
tion OF the army program, 1t will be
well to point out the impossibility of
certain proposals enthusiastically and
persistently put forward by word of
mouth and in the press. We have
seen and heard much of the proposal
of 100, 900 airplanes' to be provided
by the United States within the next
year. In a country where one great
industry produces 100000 motor
cars per year, the fabrication of 1OO,-
600 plains might seem easy, but &C.
tual figures based upon three years
OF practical experience in the war
show that there are now between 40
and 80 men of the auxiliary services
required for each active machine at
the front. If this same ratio should
be adhered to in our service, 1t
would mean that some 1000 900 men
would be required in our aeronauti.
cal department on foreign soil be-
tween our ports of debarkation and
the fighting front.
Even though this number of men
could be reduced by so per cent by
increased efficiency and standardiza-
ton, the number required is still
staggering. Consider, also, the over
seas transportation problem as relat-
ed to material only and without refer
ence to personnel and it's mainten-
ance. The transportation of finished
planes, properly Grated. with the nee
essary spares, accessories, and equip
ment Is in itelf serious problem, in
view of tie situation in ship ton
mage"

GRAFTON, emoluments, or other fixed
or determinable gains, profits and
income, to report the name and ad-
dress Of the person, corporation, etc.,
to whom payment was made. togeth-
er with the amount of the payment,
to the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue at Washington, using a form
prescribed for the purpose-Form
1899, now to be had from all collect
ors' offices. The forms must be fill

RED CROSS NOTES

The meeting Of the Gilpin County
Chapter Of the American Red Cross,
which was held at the work room on
Tuesday afternoon, Feb. LIST, was well
attended. The change from branch
OF the Denver chapter to an inde-
pendent chapter including the whole
of Gilpin county was explained and
some very interesting letters per-
tanning to Red Cross work in gen.
eral were read.
The Supplies committee reported
that 532 hospital garments and 149
knitted garments had been complet-
cd up to date. Our Gauze Room
committee reported 1000 gauze COM
presses ready for shipment, making
the output Of the gauze room up to
this time $3.50 pieces.
The order of the Eastern Star has
taken over the making of the surgi-
cal bandges and reported five dozen
completed bandages.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Hhi' Loho anu Hls dDle dsSistdHtS lOT
their efficient work in connection
with the Christmas membership
drive. 1t was through their efforts
that our chapter roll was brought up
to 725 members.
Junior Red Cross
The executive committee met with
the teachers of the county last Tues
day evening to confer with them on
the Junior Red Cross membership.
The Junior Red Cross is an official
branch of the American Red Cross,
open to every school-child in the Un-
tied States. Whenever there has
been placed in local school fund an
amount equal to 20 cents for each pu
pill that school becomes an auxiliary
of the Red Cross and entitled to
display a Red Cross banner. Every
pupil attending such school becomes
a Junior member, entitled to wear a
membership button. The school fund
may be raised by collection or enter
tainment. 1t is hoped that in time
every school in the county will be-
come a school auxiliary.
Magazines
We have been notified by the Am
erican Red Cross Magazine that all
members who subscribed during Dec.
ember will receive the January issue
Of the magazine. However, the work
Of the establishment is immense In
the course of few months they have
increased their output from thous.
ands to millions, so we ask you to
bear with them if the first two num-
bers are not receivd on time. If,
however, you have not received any
numbers by the last of this month
do not hesitate to notify the local
secretary.
