The extreme cold weather was responsible for a disastrous wreck of a freight train in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, some weeks age. I says the April Popular Mechanics magazine. Heavily loaded and with its brakes out of commission because of the cold, it roared downgrade at a mile-a-minute clip through the famous Crawford Notch. Speeding around a sharp curve the locomotive and 30 cars left the track, leaving a mass or broken steel, splintered wood and scattered merchandise littering the snow. There were several casualties. Forest fires burned over 962,909 acres of National Forest lands in 1917 and caused a loss of $1,358,600 to the government in timber, forage and young growth, according to figures compiled by the Forest Service. While the loss was larger than for several years past, officials say that, considering the unusually dangerous conditions, it was remarkably light. Protracted drouth and periods of high winds made the conditions, they declare, virtually the same as in 1910. when many persons were burned to death and 25 million dollars worth if timber on the National Forests was destroyed. The war council of the American Red Cross, has announced that the campaign to raise a second war relief fund of $100,000,000 would be postponed until the week of May 20. It * was the original intention to begin ’ the raising'of this money for Red Cross work on May 6. but fear that it might detract even slightly from the forthcoming Lil erty Loan campaign prompted the war council to postpone the date for two weeks. This action fixes the date of the second war fund campaign of the American Red Cross 11 months after the first, which was carried on the week of June 18, 1917. Secretary McAdoo yesterday authork ized the following announcement: The secretary of the treasury, under the authority of the act approved September 24. 1917. offers for subscription at liar and accrued interest, through the federal reserve banks, a minimum of $500,000,000 treasury certificates of indebtedness payable June 18. 1918, wi'h interest al the nite of 4't, per cent per annum from March 20. 1918.

TLE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE ARE GIVING TOASTED CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS I, f To anyone who doesn't know of the ' wonderful advances that have been made in the preparation of smoking tobaccos { in the fast few years it may sound strange , to speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say cigarettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok- , ers of this country will recognize it more ( readily by its trade name, “LUCKY ;! STRIKE ” —the toasted cigarette. ( The American Tobacco Company are i' producing millions of these toasted ciga- . rettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the newspapers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys : in France. ' This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco : but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross nurse is always glad to have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as, in most instances, that is the first thing asked for.
