YANKS WITHOUT TOBACCO FEEL WANT KEENLY Men in Trenches Constantly Asking For Supply From Home If you see a complexion that's peaches and cream, Remember things always are n't just what they seem: Just take a good look and come out of your dream, — It's camouflage. If the opposite player leans back in his chair, Looks happy and whistles a popular air. Why, just ask the dealer for all he can spare,— It's camouflage. The reason the Kaiser, the silly old ass Is steadily losing is simply, alas. He never got out of the primary class, — In camouflage. There's too much camouflage: 1 hat's the fact. "Brainless Bates," the shifty poet from Poetsville, might have continued a little longer and said something about the folks who are panning the smokes-for-sol <liers fund. Is that a camouflage, or what is it? Do they mean what they say and write? If so how can they overlook the sentiments and opin ions of a great and good man such as Charles Ivingsley. Here is what this distinguished scholar and ecclesiastic said on one occasion: "For when all things were made none was made better than tobacco —to be a lone man's companion, a bachelor's friend, a hungry man's food, a sad man's cordial, a wakeful man's sleep and a chilly man's fire."

Farmer Dragged Several Miles by Runaway Team Liverpool, Jan. 16.—Merle Sarver, of Perry valley, while driving to town on Sunday, met with an acci dent which may prove fatal. His horses becoming frightened they started on a run, throwing the sleigh over and dragging Mr. Sarver several miles before help came. Dr. W. G. Morris was called at once and found his condition very serious. Though no bones are broken, other injuries are such that little hopes arc entertained for his recovery. MISS LEMER TO PLAY Miss Sara Lemer, violinist, will play several solos at the Y. M. C. A. men's mass meeting Sunday after noon at 3.30 o'clock. Robert B. Reeves, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has announced that Walter M. Chan dler, Congressman from New York, will also be a feature of the Sunday meeting. He will speak on "The Trial of Christ From a Lawyer's Standpoint." Enola School Children Become Red Cross Members Enola, Pa., Jan. 16.—Pupils of the .'.dams street school showed their patriotism by taking up subscrip tions to join the Red Cross. The money raised was given to S. G. Hep ford, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who had charge of the drive here. The faculty of the.school which is made up of Mrs. Russel, principal; Miss Mable Myers, ilrst grade; Miss Edith Myers, first and second grades; Miss Edna Porter, third and fourth grades and Mrs. Appier, filth grade, bad charge of soliciting the money from the children. As the parents of most of the children are members of the Red Cross, Mr. I-lepford will tndeavor to secure Red Cross but tons for each child. HEADQUARTERS IS HIVE OF INDUSTRY I Continued from First Page.] ter. "You notice there is no bicker ing, no trilling disputes, no gossip. We are inspired with a great cause. We work, work, work, and we talk little. We turn out what the lted Cross headquarters orders. That Is to say we do the best we can, and the only demand made that has not been entirely filled is that for 39,- 000 knitted orders which were to be delivered within three months. We have now about two thousand peo ple knitting for us in this district which includes ITarrisburg, part of Dauphin county and parts of Cum berland and Perry counties. But they have not been able io dispose of this very considerable demand." The Task One hundred women are working every day at the Walnut street fac tory under a strict system which is maintained without rebuke or dis cord by "bosses" who never before had experience in handling indus try. Many a masculine overseer might learn things from these effi cient women who direct and manu facture an incredible amount of things. To say that in the month of No vember the local Red Cross com pleted 24,887 articles does not. con vey much information to the reader because he does not know what care and incessant labor is required to satisfy the headquarters inspectors. Tile gauze work alone is a stupen dous proposition. Fnder the direc tion of Mrs. Chandler Hale, Mrs. Whitney and Miss Alary Pearson 90,- 408 surgical dressings were made including almost every technical sort of a bandage used by surgeons. This task was so big that Mrs. Gilbert cast about for some swift method of cutting this gauze and she now has secured a remarkable electric cutter which snips through a bun dle of this tricky goods, saving much labor. The surgical dressings de partment was really the foundation of the development of the Harris burg Chapter. Due to the leadership of Miss Anne McCormick this branch has increased its weekly out from one box to 10, shipped to France. Much Ilclp Neole*l The knitting feature of Red Cross work is an interesting one for it calls out help from all sorts of unexpec ted places. The committee handling this was organized under Mrs. George Matson and is now directed by Mrs. Hoar. It is estimated that about 2,000 persons are contributing their time and skill to knit sweat ers, socks, mufflers, wristlets, hel mets and other woolen necessities. Among them is Mrs. Jennie Gold, to tally blind, who neler fails to turn in several pairs of bed sox every day. Another unique workman is Mr. Feh rer, nearly ninety years old, whose work is second to none. A great amount of the knitting is done at the chapter's workshop on the second floor where electric ma chines turn out woolen socks at a 1 rapid rate and they are firmly, ' strongly made, too. The ladies sew ! in this room also, and have the ad- I vantage of electricity in running | their machines. An idea of the bulk of this business may be had from the fact that in one day Mrs. Mer cer B. Tate, chairman of the pur chasing committee, bought and gave out five hundred pounds of yarn. It costs about $3 for the wool in one sweater. The new materials for the most part is bought in Harrisburg, to the end of patronizing home stores. Mjieh Raw Material Estimating on the basis of money contributed and spent Mrs. Gilbert yesterday reckoned that probably about $30,000 had been spent in the last year for raw materials, and, adding to this the value of the labor, $15,000, she arrives at a total of $45,000 as the value of the output of the Harrisburg Chapter in twelve months. Another feature of this great in dustry that is being developed more each day is the civilian relief which was organized under Mrs. William Laubenstein. "We aim now," ex plained Sirs. Gilbert in speaking of this department, "to show that the Red Cross is the friend of the sol dier's family. War friends would be a more appropriate name than civ ilian relief. We began by giving Thursday afternoon to hearing com plaints from mothers, wives and other relatives concerning the wage I earner at the front. On Thursdays ! now there are as many as a hundred in waiting. The Red Cross makes a point of keeping in touch with the [ men at the camps and so we are able to adjust many troubles which threaten to break up a family. We even advance money in cases where the family is destitute and the pay has not arrived from the Govern ment. To show how intimately this system works the other day we sup plied two HarrisUirg soldiers at a southern camp with all comforts, our agent in that camp making the ar rangement. As men from our home town we were permitted to make this special gift, and )t is the purpose of this chapter to look after Harris burg men especially until the end of the war." Suburban Towns Help The total production of the local chapter is of course only possible with the aid of the auxiliaries who comprise a membership of 5,000 from towns nearby. Under the di rection of Mrs. Lew Palmer this vast aid contributed 29.096 surgical dress ings, 1,343 garments, 2,124 knitted articles, a total of 32,563 articles. Following Is a complete list of the auxiliary towns and their chairmen: Berrysburg,' Mrs. L. W. Hoover; Dauphin, Miss Clara Bergstresser; Duncannon, Mrs. B. Stiles Duncan; Elizabethville, Mrs. H. H.
