RED CROSS CHAPTER RECEIVES
 INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT KNITTING
Socks Are Considered Most Import
 ant Article.

The local Red Cross chapter has re- ceived the following communication from the Atlantic division regarding the Red Cross wofk:
 National headquarters has notified us that "a recent examination of some few hundred pairs of socks taken at random from different divisions, has called our attention to the following conditions in the knit ng of socks which should be remedied
 Socks are being passed through in spection rooms which are under 10 1-2 inches. This must not be, as socks under that size are not large enough for use in the army. Also in at least
 50 per cent. of the socks turned in. the two socks were not of equal length in the feet. Either kn:tters are not count
 ing the rows and therefore are not
 making their socks alike, or they are !blt careful in the washing, to see
 that the socks are stretched the same
 size.
 We have also occasionally found colored toes in the socks. In some cas- es, the chapter labels are being put on without first stretching the cuffs thereby leaving the part of the cuff un- der the label infexibie

WANTS REAR LIGHT
 EQUIPMENT PERFECTED
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Thanks it Unfair to Hold Owner for Defec- tive Equipment.

Robbins B. Stoeekel, commissioner of motor vehicles. has taken up with the manufacture of automobiles the matter of the defective equipment for the rear lighting of cars. The defect is principally noticeable, the commits sioner said in the rear-end lights which are supposed to illuminate the markers so that the numbers can be easily read. Other equipments of the cars are satisfactory and the commissioner has suggested to the manufacturers that they should have their cars. Hni- formly efficient in equipment The commissioner thinks it is hardly fair to hold the owner of car responsible for the defective lighting apparatus
 when he had bought the car snpESsing that the equipment for lights would satisfy the requirements of the law when operated.

 tury Mark.

For two or three days a somewhat hot period prevailed. fol- lowed by cooler weather, which in turn was followed by the record breaking hot spell. At that time around the first of August. the official thermometer registered 100.

McXS and American
Men In a Clash
SHARP FIGHTING CONTINUED
ON MEXICAN BORDER FOR ov-
Err AN HOUR TUESDAY WHEN
MExIcANS WERE KEPT FROM
CROSSING THE BORDER.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug 28-An agree
ment by which further trouble would
be avoided was expected to result
today from a conference between
American and Mexican officials who
we're here when fighting at the inter-
national line late yesterday between
American soldiers and Mexicans re-
suited in the death of three Ameri-
cans and the wounding of 28 The
Mexican casualties in the fighting
are variously estimated at from $50
to 200.
How Fighting Began
The fighting began at Ais o'clock
yesterday afternoon when a Mexican
attempted to cross into the United
States. A. A. Barber, u S. customs
guard, twice ordered the Mexican to
halt and when the latter failed to
comply with the command, Barber
drew his pistol but did not fire.
The Mexican customs guards. &C
cording to Barber's account, resent
ed his interference with the Mexican
seeking to cross the line and opened
fire.
The firing then became general
Mexicans appearing suddenly in the
doorways of houses, on the roofs of
buildings and in the surrounding
hills and shooting across Interna-
tional avenue, the principal street of

SEND THE LEADER TO A
SOLDIER BOY IN FRANCE

In number of the letters from the
soldier boys in France they mention
reading the Leader and how they enjoy
getting the news. The government is
making every effort to see that they
get the home papers and now it is up
to their friends to see that it gets
started from here.
There is a ruling that no paper can
be sent free by the managers of the
paper. It must be paid for by some
one who wants the boy to get the
|paper, or by himself
We have number Of boys on the
list now, but a good many are not
getting it. Here is a chance where
you can give one happy few minutes
every week during his stay in France
We are not saying this as an adver-
tisement for the Leader. 1t is because
we know the boys want the news.
They say so in every letter, and a
good way for them 70 get it is by send
ing the paper so they will get it regu-
larly.
If you have no particular friend to
send a spapersatts.sr IL maj -it Soldiers
Subscription" and We will. see that
some worthy youn:; fellow gets it.,
We will soon publish list Of all
the soldier boys getting the Leader.
Those who have not gone over enjov
it too, so remember the boys at home
as we'll as those abroad.
To no person who has ever been a
kstranger in strange land" will
movement, now under way, to supply
American fighting men on land and
sea with newspapers from their home
towns seem trivial. The very fact that
our soldiers on the other side in camp,
trench and hospital are constantly ap-
pealing for more home newspapers"
indicate a serious want that should be
supplied. Everybody realizes how nec-
essary it is to sustain the morale Of
the nations defenders. Nothing has
been more potent to this end than
cheerful letters from family and
friends.
But many soldiers and sailors are
mot blessed with inspiring cores
pondence, and to these newspapers
either the dailies or weeklies from the
localities in which they have lived are
an excellent substitute And even
those who receive letters regularly
find in the home papers many bits of
interesting news which the letter
writer does not cover.
