SERVICE MEDALS FOR RED GROSS WORKERS

National headquarters, recognizing the loyal service given by the women and men workers of the Red Cross, has authorized the issuance of certificates which carry with them the right to purchase and wear the Red CroBS official general service insignia. The insignia for women workers will be a badge with ribbon, bar end safety catch, and for men, a button to be worn on the coat lapel. In compliance with this plan of the National headquarters and on the authority of the manager of the Lake Division, a Committee on Awards has been appointed by the executive committee of the Wayne county chapter of the American Red Cross to award certificates to those entitled to receive them. This committee consists of Miss Margaret Starr, chairman, Miss Charlotte Rogers, secretary, Mrs. Edgar F. Hlatt, Mrs. II. E. Schalk and Miss Anna Ixuigh. . The committee desires that all women who have given 800 hours of service to the Red Cross shall present to the committee or its secretary their names together with the statement of the time at which hey began Red Cross work, and the approximate number of hours per week which have been given, as the committee must have this data as a basis for making their awards. Any further information in regard to this matter may be secured from the Red Cross office or from the chairman of the committee on awards, and it is hoped that all persons entitled to receive certificates will make application for them as soon as posible. The women's badge is a handsome bronze and enamel medal, gold plated, hanging from a bar by a ribbon. The men's button Is of bronze and enamel, gold plated. Service certificates will be distributed to those workers who are entitled to them, and no service badge cr button can be sold to such workers until the certificate is shown as evidence that the worker is entitled to wear such a badge or button. The minimum service for which a badge suspended from a blue ribbon can be given is 800 hours dating from April 6, 1917; no recognition Is granted for service prior to that date. For convenience, the periods of service are divided Into six monthts each. For the first six months with a minimum of 800 hours, each woman should re-! celve a badge with a plain blue ribbon; for twelve months, a blue ribbon with one white stripe, and for eighteen months, a blue ribbon with two white stripes. In the case of men, I there is no distinguishing mark granted to show the length of service above ininuinum period of six months. In each of these periods a minumum of 800 hours must have been given. . The , ribbon indicating additional service for women will be furnished free of cost to the divisions and chapters and may be substituted by the divisions and chapters for the plain blue ribbon attached to women's badges when Issued. It should be carefully noted that service stripes are only awarded for the period since April 6, 1917. Therefore, at the present time It is not possible to receive a ribbon with more than two stripes, indicative of eighteen months' service.

Mine Timber Scarcity New Industry Problem (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3. Scarcity of mine timber is a serious problem that confronts tho anthracite coal mining industry today. Lumber is just as necessary In mining coal as the drill, tho blast, the motor engine and tho mine car.
