Ali persons who have old cloth ins which they wish to give to the school Red Cross to be made over into garments for eBlgian children will please leave names and address with any pupil of the school.
 The Department restricts the materials to be used. The pat terrs used must also be official, hence the school must confine the work to such thighs as are called for and will be accepted.

In donating old may call for old clothing to be sent old waists, or anything that will not when ripped uU, make pieces large enough to be made into a child's dress.

FERRYBOAT IS DAMAGED $500
 WORTH

About $500 damage was done to the machinery Of the ferry con- pany's Lone Fisherman Thursday niqht when an explosion followed an attempt to start the boats engine.
 Capt. Staats considered the Chan mel too rough for operating the Gent, in the face of the unusual eas' wind which kicked up a nasty sea around o'clock. He therefore be- gan getting the Lone Fisherman ready. Some repairs had just been finished to her exhaust pipe and Lhe engine started. Only a few revolutions were made when the wster jacket and an entire side of one of the cylinders was blown out. It s doubtful If another cylinder and water jacket can be procured for some time, although it may be repaired with a patch here.
 The accident was caused by some one "tinkering" with the engine and leaving it in improper condition, ac- cordipg to the captain.-Juneau Dis patch.
