RED CROSS WORK.
. o o o o o o o o o o o @ o o .
Why We Need Tin.


The entire industries Of the United
States are dependent upon tin in come
form or other; it is one Of the most
essential metals in the whole wal
program. Without tin it would te
impossible to operate a steamer OF
the ocean or to build railroad car
The war industries board finds a de
ficit of some 5000 tons in the amount
required to meet our needs. The Red
Cross chapters are source of help
in this emergency and each individual
chapter is urged to cooperate in the
securing of used tin.
The Red Cross can collect tin from
only three sources: First, tin foil
such as tobacco foil, cigarette foil
chewing gum and chocolate foil, the
foil wrapped by florists around hot
house flowers. Second, collapsible
tubes tooth paste, shaving cream,
salve, liniment or paint Third, PEN
ter articles.
It is estimated that $500 tons Of tin
per annum will bring the Red Cross
an added income OF from 100000 TO
s5,0oo,ooo.
Every chapter selling tin may retain
the proceeds Of the sale for its own
use. as part OF the general fund.
While considerable financial benefit
may accrue to each chapter by this
plan, it must be emphasized that the
Red Cross is not performing this
service for financial profit. but simply
to conserve and render available ma
terials really needed by the govern
ment and the industies of the country.
The Newberry chapter is aiming to
collect one ton of tin,. value from
$500. 90 to s1,S00.oo.
The auxiliaries and branches in the
town and county are asked to collect
tin foil, collopsible tubes and penters
in their respective territories, and
send to our conservation chairman.
Mr.. William Johnson.

work, we say; "well done" Those
who have fallen short, get busy and
do more. Now, the Red Cross is ask
ing for the following: Peach stones
or seeds, apricot pits, prune pits, plum
pits, cherry pits, date seeds walnut
shells eng. or native) hickory nut
shells, bu' II nut shells. Al thorough
ly dried. J,sery one sho. Id inaw
that 200 peach stones or Z lbs Of nuts
will produce carbon sufficient to p'o-
tect one soldier from German gas. l
beg that each member will contribute
their share. You have been notified
through your county paper that Mr.
VIM. Johnson has placed a receptacle
at his hardware store for this purpose.
We are also asked to save all tin foil,
tobacco foil, cigarette foil, chewing
gum and chocolate foil, the foil wrap
ped by florists around hot house
flowers are but a few forms in which
tin foil comes into our homes. How
easy for our people to put this waste"
product aside, keep it in one place and
save for the Red Cross. Every co.,
lapsible tube of tooth past, shaving
cream, salve or liniment that comes
into orr home can be conserved to
fill an urgent war need. This will be
found in all institutions, as boarding
schools, hospitals and hotels. This
tin foil can be brought in at our next
meeting. Those having the Red Cross
magazine at their bones bring them
in please, so that other members may
get them to read.
Last but not least, Tranwood has
pieced outing quilts for some con-
valescent house. Destination to be
decided upon later. Every man, we
man and child should be member oe
the Red Cross. Those in our territory
who have not joined, meet with US at
our next meeting and give us your
name.
Thank you Mr.. Editor, as we'll as
each reader for your patience.

Editor OF Herald and News:
In one of the Red Cross briefs we
read this paragraph. Impress upon
the editor of your local paper that he
can serve his country by opening his
columns to Red Cross items and tina.
by so doing, he is doing his 'tbit" as
truly as though he, were on the firing
line in France" The Red Cross needs
the public as well as the public needs
the Red Cross. This does not mean
merely financial assistance. but the
moral support as well. The people
ought to know all that the Red Cross
is doing day by day for soldiers over
seas, in the home camps and canton
ments and for families OF soldiers
In every.Red Cross auxiliary, no mat
ter how small the community may be
in which its work is done, the people
are interested and they should be kept
in touch with each effort as it is made
and with each end as it is accomplish
ed. We ought to advertise our work
not to over-exploit it, but merely TO
keep our people in close touch with
all its branches.

Fourteen Millions For
Rivers and HarbOrs

Washington, Feb. 20-With appro-
priations of $14,O27,350 for improve
ments ON rivers and harbors, recon-
mended by army engineers to help
relieve transportation congestion, the
rivers and harbors bill was introduced
in the house late this afternoon by
Chairman Small.
The largest items are for continuing
Improvement work on the Orio river be-
tween Cincinnati and Louisville, $5,,
100000; continuing work Of deepening
the East river channel, New York, So,
100000; continuing Improvement work
of Mississippi river near New Orleans
$1,450,000; improving Norfolk, Va.
harbor, 1,134,000.
Only $130,S50 of the improvement
fund is for new projects, this having
been set aside for the construction of
connecting waterway between Long
Beach and Los Angeles, harbor. The rest
of the appropriation is for continuing
projects already started-an observance
Of the new war policy. Two other new
projects were authorized but no appro-
priations made. The offer of citizens Of
Crescent City, Calf, to improve the
harbor there to tlfe extent of 5000, 900
was accepted; and a new project for
improving the Galveston, Texas, harbor
was approved, $364,000 being available

.RODERTSON'S REMOVAL
AIDS ALLIED CAMPAIGN
Belief That Allies VIII Now
Strike In Balkans When
West Offensive Opens

Washington, Feb. 20.-Resignation of
General Robertson as chief of staff of
the British army has removed the one
stumbling block to a general allied of
fensive in Macedonia, Balkan territory
critics here declared today.
Robertson, they assert, has never re-
garded the Balkan theatre as of vital
importance and on numerous occasions
has blocked plans for an offensive
there.
Together with General Guillaumot' =
appointment as commander of the allied
forces at Salonika, Robertson s with
drawal means that the allies will strike
simultaneously in the Balkans and on
the western front, the critics predict.
The entente was never stronger in
the Near East. General Allenby has eff
feetually smashed Turk resistance in
Palestine and the Mesopotamian situa-
tion and activities of the Arabs around
Medina and Mecca have made the Turk
ish positions precarious.
With Bulgar and Austrian support
growing lukewarm, determined drive
into Macedonia and Serbia now would
embarrass the kaiser far more than any
other movement, military critics contend
while Balkan diplomats are convinced
that the political results in Serbia, Bull
garia, Turkey, Rumania and Austria
would be- incalculable.

Available Wheat Flour
Supply Is Diminishing

Chicago, Feb. 29.-The available
wheat flour supply in the central states
is rapidly diminishing with prospects
of a severe famine, according to reports
today from milling and, grain cehters
The government is practically comman-
deeIing the entire output of large north.
west mills for exports to the allies.
Bakeries operating on a day-to-day
supply were threatened with closing
Housewives found grocer supplies gone.
Millers declare a vastly increased con.
sumption of wheat substitutes is the
only remedy.
