$2O36 RESULTS OF
RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The final report of the Red Cross
roll call which opened in ottawa on
Armistice Day, shows that during the
drive $2,03650 was paid for member
ships in the organization in Ottawa.
The amount raised during this drive
far exceeded all expectations, and
the officers in charge of the Red
Cross, are highly elated over the re-
suits.
The central division of the Red
Cross in Chicago, has complimented
the Ottawa chapter on the excellent
showing they have made by their
roll call. Last year only about one
third the amount of money raised
this year was taken in during the
drive.
While several branches of the Red
Cross are maintained in the towns
around Ottawa under the Ottawa
charter. only one of these has report
ed the results of their roll call. This
was Marseilles, where 1920 was TAX
en- in for memberships during the
drive.
The Ottawa drive was in charge
of Mrs. A. ] OConor, who was as
sisted by corps of tireless workers.
1t was due to the diligent and sys-
tematic work of these ladies that the
drive was such an undisputed sue
cess,

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 10.-(By the
A. P.)-The last escape of Tom
Slaughter, noted bandit, with a record
of nearly score of breaks for free

ing their search for Slaughter's body.
The posse were awaiting daylight
early today to start on the trail of
the seven convicts, starting from the
point where they abandoned their bull

rs TON DOOR IS MOVED
ACROSS mosaic FLOOR
AND NOT A TILE BROKEN

Successfully transferring a 25-ton
mass of iron across a mosaic floor
without cracking even so much as one
of the little white tile, was a feat ac-
complished by Hubert Scherer and
his corps of workmen last night when
they rolled the massive new vault
door into place at the National City
bank.
Men well versed in the trials and
tribulations that beset Hub" Scherer
in some of his monumental undertake
ings, declare it nothing short of mar
velous that the boss" and his helpers
shunted the monster door the full
length of the bank building without
cracking one of the octagonal slabs
that make up the tile flooring. The
thing would compare with an interur-
ban car passing over a plate glass
without smashing it.
The door was unloaded and set in
place in what vault experts say was
record time. At 2:30 O'Clock this
morning it stood in place, ready for
the mill representatives to apply the
finishing touches.

BASKET BALL TEAMS
HAVE A FIELD DAY

Before n record breaking crowd the

showed that they had the "old fight
last night.
The curtain raiser OF the evening
was played by the Marseilles second
team. and proved to the MarsoillcS
people that In future wears Marseilles

Coach Mummart thought the seconds
would be greatly handicapped due to
the fact hat throc good players are
not able to play this term due to GER
tain rules of the high school associG.
ton, 1t was of much interest to the
coach as woll as the spectators to soc
the lads come out of the kinks. The
first half proved n tic, but with much
determination to win the black and
red came back and rolled up the score.
until when the final whistle blew the
score stood % to 20 in favor of Mar.
settles. The goal shooting on tho part
OF Marseiles was we'll distributed be-
tween Bloeser. Adler, Jones. philli-
more, while Carpenter played a very
commendable part at back guard.
Hinch, Hill and Fleming stayed on the
bench the greater part of the evening,
but enjoyed seeing their teammates
beat the visitors.
The second and real game of the
evening was PLACED between the Mar
settles High school first and the Gard
ner-South Wilmington Township High
school first. Gardner had only three
weeks before defeated the locals by
Il four point score, and tho Marseillos
lads had determined to change the
tune. In the first few miutes of the
game this surely looked like it were
| true. Before Gardner could gather
up her skirts" the red and black to its
credit ten points, while the visitors
| had but two. Gardner then came
back and made fifteen points to the
| locals two. Tho end of the first half
showed the visitors ahead. but with a
little rest period Mummart's boys came
back with lots of pep and rolled a
score of 20 to 81, which was the score
within about five minutes of the final
! time cut Neither side could make a
| basket, thus the final score was the
above. With one basket difference
| considering that the Gardner boys
have played together for three years
at least, against the new men now
used by the Marscillo3 school, Coach

face would have had still greater
smile If the score had been the re-
