RED CROSS DRIVE
TO BE EXTENDED
Special Effort in Brattleboro to Sc
cure Quota Tomorrow and Friday
Responses Come Slowly.

Although plans had been made for a
cleanup yesterday of the third Red
Cross Roll Call in Brattleboro the
comparatively small number of people
on the streets, due to the rainy wea-
ther, gave no opportunity for any con-
siderable increase in the total mem
berships.
The report of the canvassers Monday
night showed enrollments of about L.
600, leaving balance of about $50
members to be secured before Brattle-
boro's quota is reached.
Chairman F. c. Adams has received a
telegram from New England headquar.
ters in Boston stating that responses
have been slow in practically every sec.
tion and that the campaign will be con
tinued the rest of the week if necessary
in order to secure the desired results
Accordingly Mr.. Adams and his assist
ants have arranged to continue the
drive here until the end of the week il
necessary to secure the quota, and to
morrow and Friday the canvassers will
be given lists of names of persons Il
approach with a view to placing Brat
tleboro IN the list of those towns which
attained their quotas.
If any persons who want to be allied
with the greatest organization in th
world have not been called upon the,
may leave their membership fees at tn,
headquarters in the board of trad.
rooms.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED OUT TWICE
Chimney Fire Yesterday Morning on
Elliot Street-False Alarm Last
Evening at $50 O'Clock.

The fire department was called out
twice yesterday, the first alarm being in
the morning at 7.40 O'Clock from box
46 for chimney fire in the home of
William Mclaughlin of Elliot street
and the second from box 35, which
proved to be a false alarm.
When the alarm sounded in the morn
ing the gong rang in a confused way,
only the bell strokes being counted ac-
curately, and many persons had locat-
ed the box as in the north part of the
town. However the alarm registered pro-
perry at the engine house so that there
was no loss of time on the part of the
lire department. Some damage was done
around the fireplace, but the probable
loss has not been estimated.
The second alarm, which was also in
distinct, was rung in at $50 o'clock in
the evening and the truck hurried to
the corner of Frost and Elm streets
where the box is located. but no fire
could be found.
There seems to be no good reason
why the recall was not sounded after
either alarm had been answered. 1t is
believed that a fallen limb across the
wires caused the indistinct alarm.
