Local Red Cross
 Finishes a Big Job

The work allotted the local Red Cross women last spring for con- valescent hospitals was finished last week and will be packed for shipment and sent on to the Pa cific Coast Division headquarters at San Francisco this week. Twenty.tWo suits of pajamas, l2 convalescent robes were made. The pajamas were made in yarl- ous homes but most of the other suits and robes were made at the Guild room which was turned into a temporary Red Cross work room. For weeks a number of faithful women have sacrificed home and social duties to do this work knowing that the garments would be appreciated by the un- fortunates who are still suffering from the effects of the late war.
 The materials for the garments were shipped direct from the wholesale house and the expense will be borne by the local chapter. The cutting was all done here and the findings purchased here. Six months was given in which to finish the work, and it is being shipped within the allotted time.

outbreaks of violence.
To Prevent Massacres
Mr.. Harding asked the speedy enact.

Turning to the coal situation, the
President said:

is that, except for such coal as comes
from the districts worked by non-or-
