A THRILLING "JOY RIDE"

Brest, France-Two pleasant recol-
lections of this much roasted camp
are going to stick with the thousands
of American troops which will have
passed-perhaps waded would be a
more suitable word-through it be-
fore it's functions as an embarkation
camp ends. For the wounded fight
ing men,, the happiest memory will
be the trip on board the U. S. navy
tug "Smeaton;" and in the big shed
where the American boys receive their
last "chow" and creature comforts in
France from the women of the Red
Cross.
Rain, mud, discomforts and all the
drawbacks of Brest that have come in
for so much criticism in the papers
at home are forgotten a few minutes
after the boys reach here on the last
leg of their great adventure. Wonder
full how quick steaming hot coffee, hot
chocolate, homemade sandwiches,
cakes, and cigarettes, served in most
generous portions by real Yankee girls
dissipate the grouches of the soldiers
and fill them with a spirit and "pep'
that keeps them laughing and singing
until the transport that is carrying
them back to the United States is lost
to view. American boys cheered when
they landed in France. They are leav-
ing in the same fashion, despite all
stories to the contrary.
Call aboard for the last joy ride!'
This is the popular cry among the
wounded men who are waiting to be
carried on the Smeaton, which singu'
larly enough has come to be known
as the "joy ship" This nickname is
a tribute to the pluck of American
fighting men, for while thousands OF
disabled men have been ferried by il
to the transports, the crew will tel
YOU they have never heard a groar
or a complaint. Nothing but cheers
and laughter OF the Smeaton. The
tug has been reconstructed to accom-
modate between five and six hundred
wounded, including one hundred

American song, and everybody, Rex

chorus. The concert is broken up tenn

ADVICE TO MOTORISTS.

A ~resourceful motories whose car

The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car a stack
Of old newspapers. When the car
| gets stuck and the wheels refuse to
take hold, feed in some of the old
newspapers between the tires and the
mud. Usually only a few will have
to be worked in before the wheels
will begin to grip and the car start
forward. This method of handling
a difficult situation is SO simple and
so uniformly successful that every
motorist should know of it and carry

Here is the other method suggest

RED CROSS NEWS
RED CROSS ORGANIZATION
WILL ENTER NEW FIELD
(By Clifford C. Held)

The feeling among some chapters
that Red Cross work is over has been
apparent for some time. l cannot urge
to strongly that your organization be
kept together, both as regards the
branches, auxiliaries and chapters for
a future that is very bright for years
to come in the Red Cross. In this
connection a portion Of a recent speech
by DR.. Livingston Farrand, the new
chairman of the central committee of
the Red Cross, may be of interest:
Accepting its commission from
the American people, the Red Cross
built up a war program of service not
only to our own soldiers and sailors
and their families, but to the war;
stricken peoples of our allies, partic-
ularly where the distress of the ref
ugees and helpless children made an
appeal which could not be disregard
ed. This war program is not ended
with the armistice. Our army is
still in Europe, and while France,
Italy and Belgium are rapidly as
Stunning the responsibilities within
their own borders, our work there can
not be ended suddenly. And now
the calls from Poland, the Balkans,
Russia and Palestine have forced the
sending of new commissions to those
countries to bring, in the name of
the American people, that emergency
relief in sickness and suffering which
only the Red Cross is organized to
carry. These urgent problems of re-
Mobilization have emerged within the
last three months.
ut was expected last November that
the effort already made and the funds
in hand would be sufficient complete.
ly to meet the obligations which the
Red Cross had been forced to under
take. 1t is now apparent that this
is not the case. In spite of the strict
est oversight of commitments and the
most rigid economy, the %appropria'
lions by the war council for relief II

the history Of the organization. In
other words, the war task Of the Red
Cross is not yet finished and our di-
visions and chapters must hold them
selves ordered and ready for instant
service. A further appeal for funds
will be postponed until the last pos
sible moment, but we must face the
high probability that before the year
is ended such "a call will come.
"While the chief emergencies of
the Red Cross must still, for a short
time, be devoted to the program of
war;, the program of peace, broader
and more fundamentally important,
is opening before our eyes. In real
ity it is already taking shape, and
the activities of the great organiza-
ton in public health, in nursing, in
home service, in Junior membership,
ETC., are pointing the way to the new
field which the new Red Cross shall
fill. The details Of this peace pro-
gran are being worked out with the
utmost care and caution, and will be
presented as rapidly as they a safe
ly be formulated, or as the termina-
ton of the demands of war will al
low new obligations to be assumed.
"In the meantime, the immediate
obligation is clear; to carry through
to an effective end at home and
abroad the war program undertaken
in the name of the American people
There remains the inspiring future
where the new spirit of service, born
of the war and symbolized by the
American Red Cross, shall be turned
to the prevention of disease, the re-
lief of the suffering, and the improve
ment of the conditions under which
we live" Relative to the appeal for
funds and the necessity for postpon-
ing this drive as long as possible, in.
formation will be issued to you short.
ly again asking that you check uI
your surplus funds and send them ir
in order that the National Red Gross
may have the benefit of them in con
tinuing their great work.
I suggest that, if it is possible, {
meeting of your chapter be called a
an early date in order that the con
tents of this letter may be appreciat
ed by as many Red Cross members a:
is possible.

Fully half the population of four
and a half millions in Serbia and a
majority Of the natives of all Jugo-
Slavia would welcome with great joy
gifts of used clothing from America,
according to Captain John lager Of
Minneapolis, a member of the lately
disbanded Red Cross agricultural
commission to Serbia, who has just
arrived in the United States.
Captain jaeger, who was told of the
great drive for old clothing, shoes
and blankets, which the northern di-
vision, American Red Cross recently
made, declared he has seen Serbian
women wearing crude garments made
from strips of gunny-sacking.
"While it is true that many, in fact,
most of the women in J~ugo-Slavia
wear costumes when they can get the
material to make them, any dresses
worn in the United States would be
gratefully received by them for they
are very clever in remaking Clothes"
said Captain jaeger. eff you could
send them needles, thread, scissors,
thimbles, buttons, too, they would be
abundantly appreciated.
Gin December a pair of shoes cost
$50 francs in Skoplje. At that time
the districts of Vranja, Prokuplje, and
Leskovac were in the direct need of
clothing of all kinds. The Serbian
peasant woman couldn't wear a high
heeled shoe such as the average Amer
lean wears, but there are ways
of getting rid of the high heels.
"The need of clothing may be in
Dictated by the fact that l have seer
Serbian women with only strips of
gunny-sacks about their bodies."
American fighting men returning
from France are making no effort to
conceal their appreciation Of the Red
Cross. hTeir praise makes every Red
Cross worker feel that the job was
worth while.

Judge Dietrich Tuesday afternoon
denied the plaintiffs application for
the appointment of q receiver for the
Twin Falls Salmon River Land & Wa
ter company in the case against that
company in which A. L. Caldwell and

The court held that the defendant
company must deposit a $4,000 cash
bond to insure the repayment of amy
excess collection of maintenance
charges for improvements, should the
court hereafter find such improvements
not chargeable to the district.
He also issued an order requiring
that during the irrigation system the
water in the forebay of the Miner dam
shall be held and kept at depth Of
about IL feet above the stills of the
waste gates, so long as it may be nee
essary or is required by either of the
canal companies which are parties to
the suit.
Further matters pertaining to the
court were held in allegiance and the
case continued for further hearing.
