STATE PREPARES FOR INTENSIVE

RELIEF EFFORT

Conference Will be Held in Every County in State Nov. 30 to Plan World Relief Week.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 26. It was agreed at the state-wide conference of county federal food administrators, In Indianapolis, last week that there shall be a conference In every county In the state, Saturday. November 30, preliminary to World Relief Food Conservation Week. December 2-6, the program for which has been distributed among the patriotic food conserves of Indiana. There was" unusual Interest In the big conference and the administrators, demonstration agents, members of the Merchants committee and others ' oledged their continued support to Herbert Hoover and Dr. Harry E. Barnard, who will direct the campaign for a sufficient food supply to prevent anarchy and Bolshevism gripping, the disturbed peoples of Europe. Efforts M ill be made in every county to enlist with the" members of the United States food clubs and county demonstration agents, representatives of church and lodge organizations, women's clubs, the public schools, social service workers, the Red Cross, civilian relief agencies and other active organizations. The necessity of. continuing an intensive effort to save food for thes ake of saving to humanity the fruits of the victory won on the field of battle, will be carried to every household. In an intelligible, convincing manner. Printed matter will be distributed, showing the added responsibilities that have come upon America, with the signing of an armistice, and suggestions made for maintaining public interest and support without undertaking to enforce meatless or wheatless days or meals, or otherwise limiting consumption.

Dr. Barnard shared the satisfaction of the county representatives that the meeting should have been characterized with so much enthusiasm, and that a definite program for proceeding to victory week, was worked out. In the meantime it is expected that there will be a more definite statement from Washington as to the necessities of the situation, based upon reports from Herbert Hoover, now enroute to stricken Eurcpe to ascertain Just what food will be required to prevent actual starvation of hundreds of thousands, now threatened with calamity more destructive than the Hun armies.

Bureau of Mines Suggests Scheme For Saving Coal

100,000 WORKERS SHOW SYMPATHY . FOR TOM MOONEY

NEW YORK, Nov. 26. More than 100,000 members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America will conduct "demonstrations" In all clothing centers of the United States and Canada this week in behalf of Thomas J. Mooney, sentenced to death on Dec. 13 for the San Francisco preparedness day bomb explosion, it was announced here tonight. The cities include New York, Boston, Rochester, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton The question of a general strike, it was said, has not been considered because 75,000 workers now are striking here for the eight hour day.

Red Cross Notes

To the Chapters of the American Red Cross: The War Council sends greetings to the chapters of the American Red Cross on the occasion of their annual meetings for 1918. With these greetings go congratulations on the great work of the chaptrsdurlng the past year and, above all things, on the wonderful spirit of sacrifice and patriotism which has pervaded that work. The strength of the Red Cross rests upon Its chapters. They are its bone and sinew. They supply its funds, they supply Its men and women, they supply its enthusiasm. Let us, then, review together the Red Cross story of the past year. Some idea of the size to which your Red Cross family has grown may be gathered ircm the following facts; On May 1, 1917, just before the appointment of the War Council, the American Red Cross had 486,194 members working through 662 chapters. On July 31. 1918, the organization numbered 20,681.103 annual members, besides 8,000,000 members of the Junior Red Cross a total enrollment of over one-fourth the population of the United State?. These members now carry on their Red Cross work through 3,854 chapters, whio'a again divide themselves into some 30,000 branches and auxiliaries. Since the beginning of the war, you of the chapters have co-operated with the War Council in conducting two war fund drives and one membership drive, in addition -to the campaign on behalf of the Junior Red Cross.

The total actual collections to date from the first war fund have amounted to mora than J115.000.000. The subscriptions to the second war fund amounted upwards of $176,000,000. From membership dues the collections have amounted to approximately $24,500,000.' To the foregoing must be added that very large contributions of materials and time given by the millions of women throughout the country in surgical dressings, in knitted articles, in hospital and refugee garments. In canteen work, and the other activities the chapters have been called upon to perform. It Is estimated that approximately 8,000,000 women are engaged in canteen work and the production of relief supplies through the chapters. For the period up to July 1. 1918, American Red Cross chapters, through their workrooms had produced: 490,120 refugee garments. 7,123,621 hospital supplies. 10,786,489 hospital garments. 10.134,501 knitted articles. 192,748,107 surgical dressings. . A total of 221.282,838 articles of an

estimated aggregate value of at least $44,000,000. These articles were largely the product of women's hands, and, by the same token, infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles going to the operating rooms of the , T hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees, and carrying comfort to our own boys in the field, convey a message of love from the women of this country entirely distinct from the great money value attaching to their handiwork.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 26. With the wintry weather coming, on, the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, offers a novel scheme to householders using hot-air furnaces to not only obtain greater heat from their furnaces, but also to save from 20 to 30 per cent, of their coal.

The bureau suggests that it is extremely wasteful of coal and also comfort to follow the almost universal plan In hot-air furnaces of having the cold-air duct connected with the outside of the house during severe weather. It is of the opinion that when the outside air is down to nearly zero, it will be profitable to close the cold-air duct, shutting off the air from the outside and subFtituting another air duct from the inside of the house where the air has been somewhat heated. With most hot-air layouts It is possible, by a simple and inexpensive change to effect a saving of 20 to 30 per cent, in the ccal required to heat the building in severe weather, and the building can be kept far more comfortable. In fact. It is easy to change hot-air house heating from a system markedly inferior to steam or hotwater apparatus to a system that compares with them most favorably in nearly all respects. The plan here recommended is merely the addition of an auxiliary cold-air duct by which the air supply to the furnace may be taken from inside the house, instead of from outdoors, during very cold or windy weather. There is, of course, nothing novel In

this proposal. Hot-air furnaces have been installed on this plan for many years; and the only surprising feature Is that all furnaces are not installed in this way, instead of an occasional one. The saving in coal made possible by such an arrangement is obvious when one considers the difference betwen heating air taken from outdors, which may be at zero temperature or below, and air taken from inside the house entering the furnace is designed and installed, as all hot-air furnaces

should be, to deliver a large volume of warm air instead of a small volume of very highly heated air. It. is, in fact, a material advantage of the auxiliry cold-air inlet from inside the house that it enables a furnace to be installed which will deliver warm air instead of hot air a thing which is difflcut or . impossible when the entire air supply is taken from outdoors. One might suppose, that all hot-air furnaces would be built according to the plan here recommended; but for the ordinaiy dwelling the heating apparatus usually receives only such thought and attention as the plumber or builder cares to give it. It is a question of putting in equipment that will cost the least and sell the best, rather than what will give the best results in operation. In these times, however, when economy at every point is demanded as a patriotic duty, it is surely the duty and the opportunity of engineers to undertake leadership in this reform. No argument whatever is necessary to convince engineers of the practical advantages cf the change here urged. The bureau has issued on this subject Technical Paper 208, "How to Improve the Hot-air Furnace," a copy of which may be obtained by addressing the Director of the Bureau of Mines, Washington, D. C.

TEACHERS URGED TO AID "FLU" FIGHT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 26. Horace Ellis, state superintendent of public instruction issued an appeal yesterday asking the teachers of Indiana whose schools are closed because of the influenza epidemic to volunteer their services In clerical capacities to assist city and county health officials in keeping records of the statistical side of the epidemic. The appeal, addressed to "Our Indiana Teachers." reads: "The state of Indiana, through the proclamation of the governor, is appealing to the public spirit of the citizenship of Indiana for co-operation in controlling the epidemic of influenza which now ra.eps nvpr thn Rtate. In-

f diana has never made a vain appeal

to her public school teachers. On the other hand Indiana has always been generous to her teachers. We are having just now a succession of enforced vacations in consequence of the scourge which is taking away from us thousands of our people. "I am asking you, even at the ex

plans and comforts, to, join in this

crusade against the common danger. Will you not please offer your services everywhere to your board of health that such boards may not be handicapped for lack of willing workers. Our task is not only academic, but in a larger and better sense, humanitarian. Now that affliction has come to the homes of our neighbors and our patrons shall we not be the first as a body of workers to render a voluntary assistance in this crisis? There is work for all of us to do. I feel safe in declaring that the teachers will do their part if only reminded of the particular opportunities that belong to them.

The proposal for a post-season football game between Illinois and Michigan to definitely establish the Western Conference championship meets with considerable approval in athletic circles here.
