Long before they came to the turn

concrete conclusion: Green Fanc

a that Mr.. Curtis was dead. The
real master of the house was the man
known as Loeb. Through O'Dowd he
had leased the property from the Wild

trustworthy henchmen, for the purpose
of carving out some dark and sinister
project.

"Flrst time she was ever here, so
far as I know" said Peter, and Barnes
promptly took up his weaving once
more.
With one exception, he decided, the
entire company at Green Fancy was
involved in the conspiracy. The ex-
ception was Miss Cameron. 1t was
quite clear to him that she had been
mlsled or betrayed into her present
position; that a trap had been set for
her and she had walked into it blind
ly, trustingly. This would seem to es-
tablish, beyond question, that her cap
ture and detention was vital to h in

would not have been lured to Green

worked out estimates and plans for
use il the highways are turned over
to his office under the new bill, and

roads would be centralized, and would
all be handled from the county gu
perintendents office directly, insuring
economy and efficiency in the road
work
There would be no more taxes work
ed out, all taxes for road pusposes to
be assessed in cash and the money be
used to hire labor.

SERVICE MEDALS FOR
RED CROSS WORKERS

National headquarters, recognizing
the loyal service given by the women
and men workers of the Red Cross.
has authorized the issuance Of GER
tificates which carry with them the
right to purchase and wear the Red
Cross official general service insignia.
The insignia for women workers will
be a badge with ribbon, bar and safe
ty catch, and for men, a button to be
worn on the coat lapel.
In compliance with this plan Of
the National headquarters and on the
authority of the manager of the Lake
Division, a Committee on Awards has
been appointed by the executive COM
mittee of the Wayne county chapter
of the American Red Cross to award
certificates to those entitled to receive
them. This committee consists of
Miss Margaret Starr, chairman, Miss
Charlotte Rogers, secretary, Mrs. Ed
gar F. Hiatt, Mrs. II. E. Schalk and
Miss Anna Tough.
The committee desires that all
women who have given 500 hours of
service to the Red Cross shall pre-
sent to the committee or its secretary
their names together with the state
ment Of the time at which hey began
Red Cross work, and the approximate
number of hours per week which have
been given, as the committee must
have this data as a basis for making
their awards. Any further informa.
tion in regard to this matter may be
secured from the Red Cross office or
from the chairman of the committee
on awards, and it is hoped that all
persons entitled to receive certificates
will make application for them as
soon as possible.
The women's badge Is a handsome
bronze and enamel medal. gold plated,
hanging from bar by ribbon. The
mems button is of bronze and enamel,
gold plated.
Service certificates will be distri-
buted to those workers who are en-
titled to them. and no service badge
or button can be sold to such workers
until the certificate is shown as evil
dence that the worker is entitled to
wear such badge or button. The
minimum service for which badge
suspended from a blue ribbon can be
given is 500 hours dating from April
6, 1917: no recognition is granted for
service prior to that date. For con-
yenience, the periods of service are
divided into six months each. For
the first six months with minimum
OF 500 hours, each woman should re-
ceive a badge with plain blue rib
bon; for twelve months, a blue ribbon
with one white stripe. and for eigh-
teen months, blue ribbon with two
white stripes. In the case Of men,
there is no distinguishing mark grant
ed to show the length of service above
minimum period of six months. In
each of these periods minimum Of
500 hours must have been given
The ribbon indicating additional
service for women will be furnished
free of cost to the divisions and chap
ters and may be substituted by the di-
visions and chapters for the plain blue
ribbon attached to women's badges
when issued. 1t should be carefully
noted that service stripes are only
awarded for the period since April 6,
1917. Therefore, at the present time
IL is not possible to receive a ribbon
with more than two stripes, indicative
Of eighteen months service.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.--Scarcity
of mine timber is a serious problem

Lumber is just as necessary In min

timber.
Shipments of gangway, slope and
shaft timber from the south have been
largely cut off by demands OF the gov
eminent. In instances, timber shipped

ment Concrete is coming more and
more into use, but at the present time

Without it, progress can not be made

Superintendent Jones is very anx-
