homes. All industries which are non

impossible to supply them with COAL"

= similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object
was to provide collapsible fire es-
cape which could be compactly and
conveniently arranged at the window
OF a%dwelling. 1t consists Of a con-
tainer hinged to the sill in such
manner that by opening the window
and folding the container on its hinge
the metal ladder may be unfolded
and dropped. When this operation is
gone through, a means is automat-
ically provided whereby the ladder is
held at distance from the walls of
the building. The advantage Of such
precaution is obvious.

Miss Remy, superintendent, is anx-
ious that the women all over the state,
who have made success of breads
and pastries. with the use of substi-
tutes, will feel that there is educa-
tional value in showing to others by
exhibits, what can be done, and will
take pride in exhibiting canned fruits
which have been conserved without the
usual supply Of sugar. Miss Ethel
Miller, who has charge of the canning
center in Spokane, is planning to send
an exhibit of jellies made with Karo
to the state fair. This jelly was made
by members of the girls canning
clubs.
Attention is called to such practical
things as the most practical home

RED CROSS WILL
BE SHORT OF YARN
Leaders Studying How to Use
Supply to Produce Garments
which are Most Essential

That the millions of Red Cross
knitters may know the plans of the
Red Cross for future knitting, George
E. Scott, acting manager of the
American Red Cross, has issued the
following statement:
"When the War Industries Board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced, we inn
mediately commenced to purchase all
yarns suitable for our knitting. AS a
result we have today in stock or on
order 100000 pounds of yarn for
distribution to our chapters. It is
hoped that we may obtain some addi-
tional yarn from wool unsuitable for
government uses. The expected total
will, however, be considerably below
the ten million pounds used last year.
While the total of yarn we can Sc
cure is being determined, we are
studying how to use our supply to pro-
duce only garments which are most
useful. When a conclusion is reached
we will announce our full program of
knitting.
"In addition to this stock Of yarn,
the Red Cross has ready for distribu-
ton 100000 sweaters, $4,000 muf-
flers, $4,000 wristlets, 228,0O0 he'll
NETS and 1,32s,000 pairs of socks, a
total of 3,674,OO0. articles. We are
hopeful that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet the more ur-
gent requirements Of our men during
the coming winter. In this connection
it will be of interest to the women who
have been knitting to know that from
September /, 1917 to June 30, 1918,
the Red Cross distributed 5,875, 900
knitted garments to the Army and
Navy of the United States. During
the same period $4,000 knitted ar
ticles were sent to the Red Cross COM
missioners in France and Italy for
distribution to soldiers, sailors and
civilians.
"At the rquest of the War Indus
tries board, with which the Red Cross
works in close cooperation, we have
urged chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool in the open mar
ket, but to secure their materials thru
our Department of Supplies. /"
