efficient of these machines will cut PIG
layers of heavy fabric in one opera
ton.
When the garments are cut they go
to the assembling room, where t ~
are sorted into bundles. One girl col
lects all the small pieces that go to
make the sleeves, collars, cuffs and
pockets of pajamas. These are then
passed on to another girl, who adds
the front and back pieces. A third
girl adds the other partS and completes
the garment, which is then wrapped in
a bundle with two others. A similar
procedure is followed In assembling
other garments.
No Material Wasted.
Each bolt of goods Is measured be-
fore cutting and an estimate made of
just exactly how many garments it
contains. For example, 216 layers of
jean contain IA dozen hospital shirts.
If the material lays 296 high, 1877 dozen
may be secured from one cutting.
From a ninety-foot strip of material
eight hospital bed shirts may be cut.
To find a piece of waste material larg-
er than a three-quarter inch triangle
is unusual. Even these scraps are not
wasted, for they are sold to rag deal
erS.
An electric marker for making pat
terms accomplishes in fifteen minutes
the work of one man working for four
hours. After the pattern is marked
on the top the circular knife ~revolves

STRINGENT STEPS
TO PREVENT GAS
WASTACE ABROAD
American Red Cross Gets Every
Ounce of Driving Power Out
of Every Gallon Used.

Gas consumption in France, at least
on American Red Cross Ambulances in
Europe, is measured by blocks to the
liter rather than miles to the gallon.
Gas or essence" is a precious article
in the war N and not at all easy TO
get-in fact, almost impossible to buy
for cash.
Fortunately, the gas stations main
tanned by the French and American
armies cooperate with the American
Red Cross Motor Service and allow
ambulances and trucks to obtain linn
tied quantities of gas ON. Garnet" or
triplicate orders supplied to Red Cross
drivers.
Any gas obtained from a French Sta
ton, however, is merely borrowed, AMI
the Red Cross must return it liter for
liter from stocks reaching it at the V
rious ports. The official orders filled
from American Army stores are re-
deemed in cash. The French, how
ever, will not part with their gasoline
for money.
With gasoline, as well as motor
equipment, so precious, the Red Cross
has instituted unusual gas saving meas
ures governing it's entire fleet of 634
ambulances, trucks and other gas We
hicles. Carburetor adjustments re-
ceive unremitting attention. No car is
allowed to continue to run with leak
ing valves or any other defect which
will lower its "blockage" per quart or
waste oil. No chauffeur who is not an
expert in getting maximum "blockage''
remains long at the wheel. Every
chance of "joy riding" Is eliminated by
a system which well might be adopted
by owners of pleasure cars and trucks
of the United States.
No car leaves the garage even for a
trip of foul blocks until the odometer
reading is taken carefully and gas in
the tank or in reserve cans measured
accurately. The driver starts out with
a trip card registering all these facts,
and new readings are taken on his re-
TURF to the garage or OF his arrival at
the next Red Cross Motor Transports
ton station.
If his odometer shows hat he has
deviated from the shortest path be
tween the garage and his objective. or
if his time indicates that he has been
delayed, he is called upon for an ex-
PLANTATION. A doubtful excuse brings
a sharp warning. A second offense
puts him on the "wash rack" washing
dirty cars for several days. AS ali
Red Cross drivers are militarized, ht
has to take his medicine. A third Of
Tense may send him to the Provost
Marshal of the American Army III
Paris as a military offender. Vari-
Gus punishments are melted out, bul
the most feared of all, they say, is az
order that the man be separated from

Electrical Machines Enable At.
lantic Division to Turn Out
100000 Hospital Gar
mentS Each Week.

One hundred thousand garments are
being turned out each week by the At
lantic Division of the Red Cross as it's
share in the nationwide allotment of
the hospital and refugee garments ask
ed for by the Government. This state
ment, authorized by Ethan Allen, Man
ager of the Division, was based upon
figures compiled at the Division Cut
ting Department which supplies cut
garments to seventy per cen of the
Chapters in the States of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
Using the most up-to-date electrical
equipment, the Cutting Department is
able to cut the materials for hospital
shirts, pajamas, mems underwear,
boys and girls clothing, gowns and
children's p%inafores at the rate of TO-
900 yards every five and a half DAYS.
This means not only the cutting, but
the assembling of the parts, the pack
ing and the shipping of the garments
to the Chapters, where they are sewed
and made ready for wear. 1t is esti-
mated that Chapters save from three
to seven cents on each Of the garments
supplied through the Cutting Depart
ment.
The garments are cut On requisition
from Chapters. Orders are often filed
in one day and rarely later than two
days. Bath robes, bed jackets, paja-
mas, ~bandaged-foot sock-these and
all other garments on the Red Cross
list are cut according to official pat
terms.

con and of instructions given him then.
He swore in pursuance of these in
structions he travelled over the Cen
trail railroad line from Macon to Col
umbus and from Columbus to Mont
gomery and back to Smithville. He
said he had instructions to arrange
for the protection of railroad property
in the event a threatened strike ma
terialized, and that he either saw the
sheriff of each county in his terri
tory, or made other arrangements for
protection of railroad property. He
swore positively he was in Eufaua,
Ala, during the night of August 10Th.
and that he travelled from that city
to Eufaula on q freight train. He said
he had an expense account but that
he made no record of what amount
he paid for his part of the supper he
and Johnson and the unknown man ate
together, but admitted he charged the
railroad for it afterward. He said he
was required to make an itemized re-
port Of all expenditures against his
expense account but said this was
not always made out correctly. Asked
if he had the report he made covering
the supper on August 18th 1916, he
replied No" Asked if he kept re-
cord of such expenditures from which
his report was later made he said
not always.
Asked by Attorney Hixon what con-
ductor was in charge of the train upon
which he and w. |. Johnson rode
from Smithville to Macon on the night
of August II, 1916, Frierson said Con-
ductor Kimbrough. He was then ask :
Ell if it was the rule of the railroad
to require conductors to make record
of and report all passes honored, Friers
son reported in the affirmative. He was
then handed a book which he identi
fed as the trainbook kept by Conduc-
tor Killebrew. He was then asked to
turn to the entries of August 18th,
1916, and he swore there was no entry
therein showing where either his or
w |. Johnson's pass had been honored.
An entry to which attention was di-
rected showed the pass of Al Johnson,
a conductor not then on duty had been
honored on that occasion. Frierson
volunteered the statement that while
il was the rule for conductors to re-
cord all passes honored by them, it
was not always the custom for them to
do this, Attorney Hixon Directing to
the custom, saying eff there is rule,
then object to the custom"
At the conclusion of Frierson's tes
timony, Judge Thomas ordered an adj
iournment until $50 this morning,
when the hearing was resumed.

fed unless ground or rolled"
His experiments back up his asser-
ton. Test lots of steers were fed
one lot with whole corn, one with
ground corn and the third with ground
corn and ground corncobs. Seven
hogs followed each lot of steers. The
hogs with the steers fed whole corn
increased in weight 1877 pounds to
each 100 pounds of corn fed to the
steers. The hogs following those fed
ground corn only made or of pounu
gain on each 100 pounds of corn meal
fed, and the hogs following the steers
On meal and ground corncobs made
an even less gain.
Grading grain is an especially good
practice when feeding ensilage be-
cause the gums of the animals some
times become tender, particularly if
the ensilage shows acidity. Grinding
gain gives the maximum efficiency in
assimilation of nutriment. Not only
does grinding the grain increase its
value, but the feed grinder works up
a great deal of low-value feedstuffs
that would otherwise be total waste.
We are raising some corn and we
are going to grow great deal more
of it, so whatever we may say about
corn feeding holds good here With
the Feed grinder available. it is
waste of both time and feed to shuck
the corn and shell it The shuck con-
tains feed value and so do the cobs.
The cobs are rich in carbohydrates.

GRINDING The GRAIN

Does it pay to grind grain for feed?
Generally speaking it does. From
to II per cent of the whole grain fed
is undigested, and when this loss can
be saved by grinding it will pay ev-
cry farm with stock to use the grind
er. We have entered an era of high
priced feed, the end of which no
man can foresee, and the higher the
price the more this to II per cent
saved through grinding means dollars.
Nature intended grain for reproduc>
tive purposes rather than for livestock
to eat, and protected each kernel with
a relatively insoluble resistant sub
stance which the feeding experts have
proven that in some instances the di-
gestive juices never penetrate.
The amount of saving made through
grinding grain or feed depends upon
tie kind of animals to which it is fed
and on the kind of grain. Young ami,
mails of all breeds do best on ground
grain, because their mastication is
never through Old animals do best
on ground grain because their teeth
are poor and they swallow a great
deal of grain whole and never digest
it. Hard-worked animals do best on
ground grain feed Under the head
of hard-warked animals come horses,
milk cows and and animals fed heavily
for fattening or for growth. The high
err the price of grain the greater the
saving mode by grinding corn, oats
barley and even alfalfa. The leading
authorities on feeds and feelings are
Henry of Wisconsin, Jordan of New
York, Wool of California, and others.
Jordan reports three experiments
with horses. One lot was fed ground
corn and oats and another unground
grain from the same bin. The re,
suits showed that IA per cent less
ground feed got the same result as
with the full quantity of the whole
grain. DR.. Henry says:
Small grains, such as wheat, rye
and kafir, give best results when
ground and barley should never be

Bob Sauls, of Albany, swore he was
night Waterman for the Central rail-
road at Albany during August, 1916,
and that w. l. Johnson was his i'm
mediate superior. He stated he met
Johnson at the train in Albany on the
afternoon of the 18th inst, and that
he accompanied him to the train when
Johnson left Albany for Americas
and Macon about nine o'clock that
night on cross examination this wit
ness told Attorney Hixon he had seen
Johnson in Albany the Afternoon and
night of August 10th, 1916, also, but
did not recall any other specific date
upon which Johnson was in that city
He said he and Johnson had some
differences on August 10th, and that
Johnson threatened to fire him on
that occasion. He admitted his friend
hness for w. l. Johnson, and some
merriment was caused wehn he told
counsel for the defense that he would
have carried Johnson's grip for him if
he had asked him.
H. l.. Frierson, trainmaster at that
time on the Southwestern division OF
the Central, was the last witness ex-
amined during the session. He told
Of being with Johnson in Albany on
the afternoon of August 18th 1916, and
swore that Johnson, himself and a
third party, whose name he did not
tten recall, ate supper together in
Parkers restaurant that night, and
that each paid pro rata for the meal.
He swore Johnson left Albany on the
80 Central train and went to Smith
vile, where he intended stopping off,
but later continued the journey to Ma
con at the invitation of Frierson.
Witness swore he was in company
CT Johnson during the trip from AL
bany to Macon, and was positive John
son did not leave the train anywhere
between these points. He identified
a page taken from the register of the
Hotel McAfee at Sithville, showing
Johnson registered there on August
18th, 191, and explained Johnson de,
cided to go on to Macon after hav.
ing registered, the change in plans
being made at the suggestion of Frier-
son.
Attorney Hixon evidently attached
considerable Importance to the testi-
p1ony of Frierson, for he subjected this
witness to the most lengthy cross-ex-
animation he had yet propounded any
of the defense witnesses. He asked
Frierson to detail his movements dur
ing the 18th, 10th and 18th of August,
1916, which the witness did, telling
