the manufacturer sold them to low-price stores, but neglected to remove the labels designating that the coats were being distributed by the Red Cross.

The Red Cross does not attempt! to estimate overhead costs because | of the difficulty in such an organi- | zation of figuring just what con- | stitutes overhead, but the figure, officials say, is modest. It has been estimated by outsiders as around 4 per cent.

One difficulty in figuring overhead is that Red Cross operations vary in size from year to year, though the organization must maintain its personnel on a readiness! basis always. The overhead would | run higher in a year of small operations than in a year with major disasters involving the handling of {large sums. The Red Cross has 2000-odd paid employees and 3,000.000 volunteer workers, Even in big offices there will be only one or two paid em'ployees, the rest of the work being done by volunteers.

RUSSIAN DANDELION URGED FOR RUBBER

CHICAGO, March 28 (U. Pye| Or. Paul J. Kolachov, an industrial research worker, urged the United States today to follow Russia's lead in meeting the rubber shortage by planting a Russian dandelion dis{covered a few years ago on moun- | tain slopes near the Chinese border. Dr. Kolachov, in an address at a meeting of the National Farm Chemurgic council, said that Russia has under cultivation 170,000 acres of the plant and plans to in-| crease this acreage. The dandelion is known as koksagyz and can be cultivated in a wide variety of soils, he said. Its yield of raw rubber is comparatively small—8 to 12 per cent—but this is more than compensated for by its ability to withstand severe climate, he said.
