 rom to Begin It's Work.
 With the case of the lied Cross drive for 1920 memberships but three days off and only one-tifth of the necessary subscriptions received, the city is far from it's quota and only through such increased effort as is being exhibited today can the city hope to go over on this drive of ticiaIs connected with the campaign have announced. Though the drive is daily gaining momentumI there is still much to he accomplished before the 16.0O0 goal can be passed.
 Tagging Cars Today.
 This morning marked the institu- tion of Q new form of canvass for securing funds-that of tagging all Cars passing through the center of the city. Women and young girls stationed themselves at every inter- Sect1ng street on Main street and the surrounding streets near City hall and the South church for the purpose of coaX1ng the elusive dollar from auto lStS. A tag to be attached to cars by a string is given each driver who donates a dollar or more to the fund , Unless a car had one of these cards. consplcuously displayed on the wind Shleld the driver experienced no small amount of difficulty in reaching his destination through the main streets. Irattlc officers on all posts assisted the young ranVassers. Those who had their cars parked on the side streets and on Main street before the Io
 pearance were not immune from this = tax as the girls kept faithful watch on all cars until the driver appeared and then accosted him to purchase q card. In less than one hCur after the girls were. sent out from the central headquarters in Mayor Quigley's insurance office one or them returned to replenish her stock of cards with $45 collected in that short space of time.
