RED CROSS WORK
/

The London Chapter OF the
American Red Cross Of which
Ambassador Page is President
and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid is chair
man, operates workshop, where
about 1000 women are employed
in making surgical dressings,
bandages, splints and other hospl.
tai necessaries. About one third
of the force is American; the rest
British. 1t also distributes books
to American soldiers in France
and American sailors in Euro
pean waters.
The Cherokee, Ia.) Democrat
relates the feat of a woman OF
that city, who has acquired a
method by which two socks can
be knitted at once, in the follow
ing words: Mrs. Watson, wife
of DIR. George l.. Watson of this
city has figured out how two
socks can be knitted on one set OF
needles at the same time. This is
known as the Australian method
and has but recently been brought
into use. There are but three or
four women in the country who
can do the trick. This work re-
quires very expert and exact
knitting, as one misstep would
throw the whole work out OF
scheme and make it impossible to
separate the socks. One sock is
knitted inside of the other, and
from two different balls Of yarn,
so they need not be of the same
color. 1t is said that by this
method two socks can be knitted
in considerably less time than one
can be knitted by the old
METHOD
Mrs. August Belmont, of New
York, who recently returned
from Europe, where she spent five
months in the interest of the
American Red Cross, made an ad-
dress to the staff at National Red
Cross headquarters last Tuesday,
relating many of her very inter-
esting experiences at points near
the fighting front and in the GEN.
tiers of American Red Cross &C.
tivity.
The story Of what the Ameri-
can Red Cross is doing in France,
as told by Mrs. Belmont, is an in
spiration to every citizen of the
United States who may hear it.
She learned from French soldiers
and women and children of the
undying affection for America

RULE WILL ADMIT
GARBANZO CROP
PROMPTLY
WAR TRADE BOARD MET
THE EMERGENCY WISELY
Prompt Action Will Mean Much
for Trade in Staple Prod
uct of Sonora.

With some $4,5OO,OOO worth
of garbanzos headed toward No
gales from Sonora and Sinaloa,
with the first two cars already
at the line waiting to be brought
across, the War Trade Board
has met the situation with a
stroke of broad policy, and yes
terday wired an order that the
garbanzo crop be admitted to the
United States on a general i'm
port license, thus obviating de-
lays that would have been ex-
tremely unfavorable to the tt
in this great Mexican produ
Under this liberal ruling OF
the War Trade Board, the 81
Ipers of the two cars of gar
banzos today will be able, on a
simple declaration, to bring
their merchandise into the Unit
ed States, while otherwise they
would have had to wait for Is to
Is days for the usual special
permit or import license from
Washington.
/ Also, the remainder of the
garbanzo crop, amounting to
some 100000 sacks, can be
brought across as fast as it
reaches the line. And the rule
applies not only to that portion
of the crop that will be trans
ported through the United
States in bond, but also to that
which will imported straight for
sale in this country.
Prices have not yet stabilized,
but the price which is being
asked for this first installment
of the crop is SIS, at which rate
the entire crop would be worth
$4,5OO,OOO.
This example of the liberal
and far-sighted policy of the
War Trade Board in dealing
with special problems that come
within it's powers will not alone
go far toward giving the busi-
ness people of the country con-
fidence in the board, but locally
will do much to foster the grow
ing feeling of friendship be-
tween the business men of Mex
leo and the United States.
