ORGANIZE JUNIOR RED CROSS

Among the School Children of the United States. Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross war council, announces the launching of a Junior Red Cross, open to all school children in the country. The new organization hopes to become a channel for patriotic service and interest to the 22,000.000 boys and girls of school age in the United States. Membership in the Junior Red Cross is to be by schools. Whenever there has been placed in the local school fund an amount equal to 25 cents for every pupil the school becomes a school auxiliary of the Red Cross, and is entitled to display a special Red Cross banner. At the same time every pupil becomes a junior member, and is entitled to wear the membership button.

The school fund will be used for the purchase of materials which the children will make up into Red Cross supplies, and for other uses in which the children will have a personal share. No part of it is to go for chapter or general expenses. - -

The plan has been developed by President MacCracken of Vassar, -in consultation with school authorities and the National Red Cross. Dr. MacCracken said recently: “I believe in the Junior Red Cross, not only because of the great sums of money it will earn and the immense amount of supplies which the school pupils, especially in our technical schools will make, but because of its educational and patriotic value for the children.”

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

(Continued from page one)

food control bill, the committee on food production and conservation was abolished on recommendation of the special committee appointed to consider the question. In its place a new committee was substituted, headed by Will H. Hays,, chairman of the council, and including Dr. Bernard, G. I. Christie, Charles W. Fairbanks, Charles Fox,. J. L. Reach and Frank Stockton. The last named is a new man in the work. He is an economist connected with Indiana university. The danger of creating a serious shortage of coal cars in Indiana by withdrawing cars for the supply of the Northwest was pointed out by William J. Freeman. Mr. Freeman warned also that the Indiana | coal car supply had been less than | neighboring states, except for two ! wrneks when the Ohio supply was | low. Mr. Freeman said this coni dition will inevitably make for a i serious shortage during the winter, unless corrected.

That people should be taught to ■consume “highly perishable” food stuff now, instead of hoarding it ■for future use, was stated by J. L. Reach as the Hoover plan of fighting the high cost of living. Mr. Reach urged that the state-council continue its work through county councils, believing this method the most effective. Shippers should anticipate their needs in order to prevent a freight congestion during the next two months, when military necessity would result in the government practically .monopolizing railroad service, said A. E. Reynolds of the transportation committee. Mr. Reynolds said conditions are generally satisfactory now, but a change would come quickly. ' -
