FUNERAL OF MRS, FORD ON
 FRIDAY AT 10
Well Known Charity Leader Dead From Pneumonia
 Was 58 Years Old.

One of the best known phflan- thropic women of Bridgeport, Mrs Michael H. Ford, died last night at her home, 1887 Main street, after two weeks illness of pneumonia. She was 5S years old. Her condition had been precarious for the past few days when complications set in, making her case practically hopeless.
 Mrs. Ford devoted years of her life for charitable work and had been as sociated with the leading charitable institutions of the city, where her loss will be keenly felt. She was the first and only woman ever appointed to a city board here, when Mayor Clifford B. Wilson named her commissioner of the city Charities department, on January 1, 1918.
 Her fine leadership and careful judgment in her work brought her the admiration and association of a large circle of friends who will greatly grieve her loss. Not only in charitable work, but in patriotic work also, Mrs Ford had taken an active and promi- nent part. During the work she had jurisdiction over the sixth and eighth districts in all Red Cross campaigns and tag day sales.
 Among the charity orga nizations of which she was a member and many

BIG DONATIONS
 ARE MADE FOR
 JEWISH RELIEF

New York, Dec. 10-The remark able way in which the t,t.5r.Ir5- Ilas responded to the cry for relief from the 6,000,000 starving Jewish people of Eastern Europe, $ shown in a re- port made public by Henry H. Ros- enfelt, director of the American Jew ish Relief Committee, which has completed campaigns in about half of the states of the Union.
 For the first time in the history of the Jewish race, Jews and Gentle worked side by side this year to al leviate the intense suffering of mil lions of Jews throughout Eastern Europe. American Jewry had borne alone the heavy burden of caring for their suffering kinsmen in the East ern war zone throughout the four years of war, but with the signing of the. armistiCe, the terrible condi- ton of Eastern European Jews dis closed proved too herculean a task for the Jews of this country to at tempt to carry alone. So Gentle joined with Jew and the gratifying results of this most radical departure from Jewish traditions, is shown by a comparison of this years and the 1918 campaign.
 During 1918, slightly over $9,00O,- 900 was raised throughout the coun- try according to MT. RosenfeIt. So far this year, with half of the state campaign held, s11,266. .395 has been raised. The new policy of the Ameri- can Jewish Relief Committee in wag- ing their campaigns irrespective of race or creed, has Drought in over $2,O00,O0O more this. year. than the entire country produced in 1918.
 
 campaigns has been the whole hearted cooperation of people of every creed" declared MT. RosenfeIt ''NOn-Jews everywhere have not only contributed generously but have talk en active part in the organization of the drives and have given, without stint, of their time and effort.
 '"The campaigns held have been. without exception, operated without regard to the religious beliefs of those participating Non-Jews welcoming the opportunity to give to Jewish relief because of their desire to aid our starving people and be- cause also of their wish to recipro- cate the aid which the leading Jew ish citizens have invariably given to all humanitarian causes"
 Ir. RosenfeIt pointed out that it was estimated that of the $1,178,00O raised in Pittsburg and surrounding counties, fully one-half was contri- buted by Non-Jewish citizens. This is representative of drives all over the country" he added This CO., operation is of value not only because it means aditional funds for our suf- fering people in Europe, but because it has had a permanent effect on the relationship of Jews and Non Jews in Ameica, bringing them closer together than they have ever been before, breaking down barriers of prejudice and creating a spirit of goodwill and cooperation
 The report shows in a striking way how states with a negligible Jewish population, such as Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana and South Dakota, raised many times more than their 1918 totals. through the generous Gen tile responses.
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, contributed s4635.4O in 1918. and in 1919 $50,- 900.

The cow-tree of Venzuela yields milk of good quality. The trees form large forests along the sea- coasts, and the milk, which is ob- tained by making incisions in the trees, so closely resembles that from the COW, both in appearance and quality that it is commonly used by the natives as an article of food.

With admirable patience and skill an experienced shadow keeps in View this object of his attention for twenty four hours.

BURNS MINE GOAL
 WILL ARRIVE IN
 NENANA TONIGHT

The work of loading the coal from the bunker at the Burns mine into the cars for conveyance to town commenced yesterday evening and one car was fully loaded when work ceased for the day.
 Several cars capable of contain ing about 25 tons of the Ignite coal, had been sent on to the mine earlier in the day. The work of loading them was resumed this morning, and it is expected that when the train is ready to pull out for Nenana, about eight carloads will be ready for hauling.
 As previously stated in these col umns, the coal from the Burns mine is older and consequently, is of better quality than the coal used heretofore from Billy Lynn mine, and the results obtained from its use in the A E. C. power plant will be awaited with inteest by Nenanaites, who pin their faith on the Ignite coal as a contributory means to Nenana's future pros perity.
 John 4 Davis, of the Bureau of Mines, went out to the Burns coal mine on the extra train which left this morning. He was accompanied by Paul Hopkins and Ben Thomp- so- The party will return on the train this evening. This train will bring in three carloads of coal from the Burns mine.

NENANA WORKERS
 MORE EFFICIENT
 THAN ON COAST

In letter received on the last mail from Fred Craig, formerly foreman of the dragline camp, who is at present at Anacortes, Wash, news is contained of his trip Out side and a stay of three weeks at Anchorage.
 Fred Craig, some years ago was partner with Gus Peterson and others and mined extensively on IF Goldstream. The outfit employed many men during the seasons and Fred Craig is entitled to know what work means. Prior to coming to Nenana he mined on various claims in the Ester district for several years.
 While in the service of the A. E. C. he worked on Piledriver No. l., at the big trestle across Lost Slough as engineer and was after wards foreman of the dragline camp, which included the surfacing men.
 During his stay of three weeks at Anchorage, Fred says he looked over the works there and gathered some useful data. He says that the coast division is well equipped with appliances and machinery to build the road with and that they also have more men there. He says that they have 16 locomotives of the 200" class, also one of the ''five-spot" class, steam shovels, track laying machines and lots of cars of all kinds. and more men in the tracklaying gang than all the forces in Nenana put together, and yet. he says, the best they ever did on that division in the way of track layin was one mile in one day.
 He thinks that Superintendent Packer has the Anchorage bunch badly beaten on efficiency, and Fred Craig is certainly in a position to judge.
