HAGERSTOWN SHOWS
QUICK RESPONSE To
CALL FOR CLOTHING

Hagerstown, Ind, calculates that il
all the $500 chapters and $4,000
branches TO the American Red Cross
did as well in sending clothing to Eur
ope as it has done in the last two
weeks, more than enough garments
october to meet the request of the
American Red Cross for $4,000 chill
drens' garments and 100000 layettes
Aug. % the collection of used cloth
ing began in Hagerstown. The orig
inal plan to make garments from new
materials and from used garments I'M
suitable for shipment, contemplated
one days sewing.
II was thought that one standard
packing case could thus be filled. So
much new material and used clothing
was donated, however, that eight days
of sewing with a total of a thousand
hours of service were required and
| three packing cases were necessary
Garments Inspected.
| All of the used garments were care
/ fully inspected. Those that could go
with mending were put in good condi-
! ton. The others were utilized for
making childrens garments. OF the
| 715 garments sent, 800 were thus pre-
| pared.
1t was the policy of the committee
| in charge to send only serviceable and
attractive clothing of the sort that the
| children of Hagerstown are now wear
| ing and of the kind that the people OF
| Hagerstown would wish to have sent
/ to them, were they to be overtaken by
disaster.
/ If production at Hagerstown's rate
was maintained by the rest of the
J population of the United States, the
result would be 10000 900 adults gar
ments, 100000 children's garments
and 100000 layettes within two
weeks.
This result was made possible by
the cooperation of people of all
| groups in the community. both in Civ
; ing used clothing and in faithful serv-
! ice in getting ii in condition for ship
ment
The men of the town were helpful
! in assembling the sewing machines,
in making posters and doing errands.
The Indiana Piston Ring company fur
nished the standard packing cases
and paid the freight to New York.
From that point the national head
| quarters of the American Red Cross
assumes responsibility for transporta-
I ton charges.
| Because Hagerstown was the home
of DR.. Neva Deardorff, who spent the
month of August here with her moth

drive for old clothing to be sent to

MADRID, Sept. dissatisfaction
over the probable adjournment of the
Spanish offensive against the rebel
lious Moorish tribesmen near Melilla
is apparent among the people here. 1t
was believed that preparations for that
offensive had been completed.
Newspapers, however, explain the
decision of the government by saying
that he Spanish army at Melilla, while
it may have sufficient supplies to
undertake a forward movement i'm
mediatelE, does not possess reserve
supplies and that it might be placed
in an awkward position after the drive
is started.
La Libertad says that stores pos.
sessed by Spain are small, and that
the nation must purchase at high
prices most of the material required
1t also refers to the danger of delaying
operations too long, as the rainy
season beginning late this month will
probably make military movements
