Christmas Packages For Soldiers.

Persons who may wish to send Christ
mas boxes to soldiers in France or other
places in Europe can obtain the boxes
from the local branch of the Red Cross,
of which Miss Sallie Powell is presi-
dent. These are small cartons about
the size of a brick-it is apparent,
therefore, that not much can be sent.
Only one package to a soldier is permit
ted. These boxes should be packed by
relatives and friends, but not tied, and
turned over to the Red Cross for exam
nation, after which they will be secure
" tied and gotten ready for mailing:
The limit of weights is 2 pounds and 10
ounces, and the postage on the full
weight is 7 cents. Tobacco in any form
is forbidden, nor can matches or any
combustible be included, nor liquids:
No writing is allowed in the boxes. All
packages must be ready for mailing by
November 20th-sooner is better
Naturally most folks will think pack
age so small is rather stingy, but when
il is considered that there will be about
100000 of them to handle, little
figuring will show what tremendous
lob il will be to transport and distribute
them.

BUILDERS TO USE TREENAiLs
How Framework Of ships Under Con.
structlon for Uncle Sam viii
Be Held Together.

The framework OF the wooden ships
which are now being built for the
United States Emergency corporation
will not be held by even single metal
nail. They will be pinned together
with treenails cut from the trunks Of
live oak or yellow locust trees.
There are two or three causes for
the use OF wooden nails. One Is the
great need Of iron and steel In other
lines Of war activity where wood
could not be used. and another Is that
the wooden pin is lighter than metal
one and less expensive.
Each ships hull will require 100000
Of the treenails. and they will be
fastened In place by splitting each
end and driving In white oak wedge.
Each ship will require 100000 wedges.
II is said that the wooden pins are
more quickly put In place than are
metal ones.
Treenails are "a inches long, an
inch and quarter In diameter and
perfectly round. They are used to
fasten the planks to the boat frames.
Soon after vessel Is launched the
pins swell to a snug fit In the frame
work.
Timber for the ships comes from
the sawmills In GO foot slabs IA inches
through, and is then worked into the
different sizes for the framework and
siding.
