"We are often asked said Mrs Ward,

F|REMEN KNIT
FOR RED CROSS
BETWEEN GONGS

It's a long time between fires. So
the flremen knit for the Red Cross.
They're doing it all over the coun-
try, the Red Cross says.
Sister Susie and her well-known
habit OF sewing shirts for soldiers
has been outclassed. The fremen are
fabricating fragments Of fabric for
fighters.
Chess, checkers, cards, and news
papers pail in time. The substitu-
ton OF motors for horses IN many
city fre departments has even re-
lieved the hremen of the task of cur
rying and feeding the horses.
So the hremeD knit.
One OF the frst experiments in
having flremen knit was in Roches-
ter. n. Y. where George Eastman. the
kodak man and a prominent worker
in the Rochester Red Cross chapter,
hit upon the idea of enlisting hremen
in Red Cross work.
Knitting machines were provided,
and the men now have competition as
to the length OF time required to
make q sock, and also the quantity
that can be turned out in a day. The
hremen are very glad to have some
thing to do In their leisure time. and
are producing large number OF
socks.
The possibility of utilizing the
leisure time OF the thousaQds Of fre-
men throughout the country has been
suggested 10 the 5000 chapters of the
country, and the fremen's assistance
in supplying socks 10 soldiers and
sailors will DO solicited by the local
chapters.

COAL PRODUCTION
UP TEN PER CENT

Coal producing conditions last week
pulled themselves out OF the extraor-
binary depression OF the week beginning
December Is, by a 10 per cent increase
in production, the United States Geo
logical Survey statement today de-
clares.
The report fixes the December pro-
auction tentatively at 100000 tons, and
declares on this basis the 1917 production
Of coal should be IA .1420OO tons. SO per
cent more than in 1916. but not as much
as had been expected earlier in the year.
