which every school in America Is giv-
en- the opportunity to carry on author
ICED Red Cross work by forming a
School Auxiliary, upon the payment
of twenty-five cents membership fee
for each pupil enrolled in the school
or by a pledge Of satisfactory service
in Red Cross work. 1t is the only
agency which is approved by school
authorities to enlist the children in
patriotic work during the war All
other organizations must work through
the medium Of the Junior Red Cross,
whose services have already been re-
quested by the United States Food
Administration and by the War Saw
ings Stamp Committee, of which
Frank A. VANDERBILT is chairman.
The schools, however, are not the
only units in which School Auxiliaries
may be formed. The other educational
units which have been recognized as
suitable centers in which to organize
Junior Red Cross work are Agricul-
tural Clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls, Night Schools, Sunday School
classes and such authorized eduea-
tional centers as may be properly or
ganized under the supervision Of the
local representatives of the Red Cross

 Searching parties started from Moose Lake, Cloquet and Duluth be- fore daybreak today and took up the work where it was left off last night when darkness made it impossible to distinguish bodies from charred and blackened tree trunks.
