YOUR RED CROSS

When the American Red Cross
Commission reached Europe it made
arrangements to take over several
ambulance sections, and sent out Sc
veral scores of ambulance drivers to
aid the French army. For several
months, until the coming of the Ame-
rican Army removed all field ambu-
lance service from civilian control
Redi Cross ambulances did heroic
service under fire and in all kinds
of hazardous service.
One of the French sections was
No. "a. The relief section left Pa
ris fully equipped and within few
hours had reached its base station.
Ordinarily it would have had plenty
of time to arrange comfortable quar-
ters there and get acquainted with
the few conditions.
But fifteen minutes after section
"a arrived, dusty and tired from the
drive from Paris, a call came in from
the Poste de secours, near the 'front.'
line trenches, for six cars. True to
past traditions Of American ambu-
lance drivers, every man volunteered
and pleaded to go. 6 were quickly Sc
lected. The others followed short
ly, after, as more cars were called
for.
One trip did not end their work.
Each car made dozens Of trips, the
entire section working day and night
for three days without intermission.
There was almost continuous shell
ling of the roads over which they
passed, and gas attacks were not in
frequent. One of the drivers was so
badly ''gassed" that he had to be re-
turned to a Paris hospital for treat
ment; but every man stuck to his job.

MUSKRAT FARMING PAYS.

If the supply of muskrat fur is to
be maintained when many of the
swamp and marsh lands now occu-
pied by the animals are reclaimed
for agricultural purposes, musk
rat farming" will have to become
more general. This is brought out
by biologists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture in re-
cent Farmers Bulletin, "The Musk
rat as Fur Bearer"
For the present, however, suffi-
cient number of muskrats to meet
demands for their fur are trapped
from marshes and swamps that are,
for the most part, unprotected, mil
lions of skins being taken each year.
So long as the natural breeding
places remain undisturbed and rea-
sonable closed seasons are maintain
ed, the biologists say there is little
likelihood of the numbers Of the an
imals being depleted. This is be-
cause these animals multiply much
more rapidly than most other fur
bearers. With adequate protection
in the breeding season and with the
present habitat available, from ten
to twelve million pelts can be taken
in North America annually without
depletion Of the supply.
The muskrat is found throughout
a wide area in North America, the
habitat extending from the northern
limit of trees to near the Mexican
border.
Muskrat Farming.
The practicability Of muskrat
farming already has been demon
strated. The animals are easily
kept, become very tame, and breed
we'll in narrow quarters. Under
present economic conditions, how
ever, keeping muskrats on preserves
is more practicable than keeping
them in restricted quarters. The
former plan is in renumerative oper-
alton in the Chesapeake Bay region.
In Dorchester County, Nd, marsh
land formerly considered almost
useless, and now used as muskrat
preserves, is worth more, measured
by actual income, than cultivated
lands in the same vicinity. The own
er of one 1,30O0-acre tract Of marsh
took in two seasons-19OO and 1910
more than 10000 pelts which sold
for more than $4,000.
The Industry Adapted to France.
The biologists point out that the
maintaining Of muskrat preserves
should be an attractive business
where conditions are favorable.
The animals require no feeding,
since the plant life of ponds and
marshes furnishes abundance Of
food. It may even be possible to
