Red Cross Notes

For the time being it is important
that work on knitted goods should
be very materially restricted and
that all Red Cross energy should be
directed into channels that will aid
the government in new emergencies
that have arisen-such as the max
ing of comfort kits and refugee gar
ments-and for which allotments will
be issued very soon. Furthermore,
the Bureau of Supplies has very lit
tie wool yarn on hand and may not
be able to replenish its supply for
some weeks.

the thimble from funnel hole in one
of the rooms. A bolt also entered the
Nickery & Hill publishing house on
Chapel street, going by the way of
the wires into box which contained
the electric wires and starting a
slight fire. on account of which the
fire department was summoned. An
other bolt put the lights and the
elevator out of commission at the
Augusta General hospital, while still
another followed the course of the
central drainage pipe in the Purinton
building on Water street, and went
from there into the sewer, without
doing any damage.
The damage done by the wind was
one of the chief features of the storm.
In front of the residence Of Eugene
Fisher on Prospect street a big tree
was uprooted, as was one on Weston
street at the corner of Chestnut
street, one on North street, one on
Sewall street at corner of Court, one
at Al Court street and one across the
street, one on State street opposite
the garage of the Mace Motor Co,
which put the telephone and electric
light wires out of commission, one on
State street opposite Gannett's, one
at the corner of Green and Chapel
streets, one on the corner of Court
and Chapel streets. one at the lower
end of Federal street and one on
Chandler street, all these being on
the west side of the river. In fact,
the greater amount Of damage APP
peared to have been done between
Western avenue and Bridge street.
The trees damaged on the east side
included three on Bangor street near
st. Barnabas chapel. On the streets
that felt the force of the storm, Gage
street hill was badly washed but
"Sand HILL" which usually suffers in
a storm like the one of yesterday,
came out in pretty good shape.
