COMPRESSED BRASS

Some years ago a Belgian scientist exhibited specimens of brass made by compressing the metals, instead of the usual method of melting copper and zinc together. One of the specimens was bright red and another a beaut- iful yellow The reddish brass was composed of equal parts of copper and zinc, while the yellow metal was composed of seven parts copper to one of zinc. The metals were put togeth- CT in thin layers and then subjected to an immense pressure, the two metals coalescing nicely. The reddish metal was somewhat softer than com mon brass and could be hammered in- to various shapes.
 While the metals show the shades quite pronounced where the metals unite there is evidence that they are as compact as though melted, poured and rolled, although there isn't the least evidence of fusing. Just what has been done in the way of following up this method of making brass is unknown, but the experiments indi- cated that many beautiful colorings could be had by this method of man. ufacture and that the brass so made is quite as durable as the other.

 MADE BY RED CROSS

Colonel George Filmer, Manager of the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross, is today notifying all chapters in the jurisdiction of the Pa cific Division to organize plan for shipping clothing for prompt relief of refugees in the Near East. Emphasis is placed on the immediate need of the women and children among the half million refugees that have been driven cut of Smyrna into Grecian territory island and mainland. s
 Manager Filmer's letter advises through organization for this emer- gency call for production but asks that chapters make all speed in col lecting garments that can be given immediate shipment as advance guard for the clothing that will follow the perfected organization to meet the de- mand.
 "'He who gives quickly gives twice, slogan familiar in the ur- gent demands of other emergencies, has come to the Red Cross again and chapters in the Pacific Division are urged to commence sending parcels of warm clothing at once," said Colonel Filmer when discussing the call he is sending out among the 306 chatpers in the Pacific Division. .r ... .
 Chapters are asked to give wide publicity to the plan whereby the Red Cross organization for production is called into activity to supplement the contributions of money made by the national society and the money to be raised by Red Cross chapters for the Near East Emergency Fund, during the approaching Roll Call.
 Garments are needed for immediate shipment include: Infants clothing, shoes, warm suits and coats for both men and women. Large purchases of food, clothing, blankets, and hospital supplies were made by the American National Red Cross, but the items of clothing specified must come through the interest of the local chapters.

1t is our duty, and sad one, to
chronicle the death Tuesday, the

and valued friend, Mrs. Bette Bean,
wife of the late J. S. Bean. Since
her husbands death, some ten years
past, Mrs. Bean made her homo with
her daughter, Mrs. Alvin May, over
in Number Seven, and being past sew
enty years by two or three, was in
very feeble health. A fall the first
of the week with an injury to the
spine causing partial paralysis,
brought the passing away of this
good woman. The funeral was held
from the Christian Church Wednes-
day morning, with burial at the
Clemmons Cemetery, under bank of
beautiful flowers. In taking charge
of the funeral service Elder John r.
Williams spoks of incidents that, in
our going to and fro thru life, re-
vived the memory of associations. In
retrospect he said that the song, IT
Would Not Live Always" an enigma
in his youth, to-day is pathetically
revealed. Scripture was read and
applied from the fourteenth chapter
of Saint Mark. The subject of this
sketch was born in 1S49 and married
to j. S. Bean in 1868. Of the seven
children only four remain, viz: Mrs.
