of men who have died in the service,
and at cost to other members of the

The brassard, which is to bo worn .

black broadcloth or other material
three inches wide, on the surface of i
which the regulation military star is 1
embroidered in gold thread The mini i

The war industries board wants us 1
to collect tin for government uses.
It may be stated in general terms
that tin is used in almost every branch
of industry conceivable. Indeed. i‘ 1
is stated with proof that we could not
uperate a steamer on the ocean, we
could not build a railroad car, we
rould not do anything to carry on this
war. if we iid not have tin It might
he stated that the entire industry of
the United States is dependent on tin
in some form or other
Tin is one of the most essential ma
terials of the whole war program, and
it will be Impossible to sustain our
demands and properly aid the Indus- [
tries of our allies unless an adequate
supply is furnished.
Tin-is found in innumerable forms,
bet for the purpose of the Ked Cross
the forms in which it is worth col I
lccting are limited to three* These ;
are:
1 Koil of every kind, including to- ,
baeco foil, cigarette foil, ( hewing gum
foil, chocolate foil, and foil used l»>
florists.
2 Collapsible tubes. These are sn' li
are such as contain tooth paste, slnn
ing cream, salve, paints. ct< Kver>
kind of collapsible lube is worth col
lecting, as even kind contain , a suf
licient proportion of tin to he of value*
Pewter articles \ very large

articles of every kind, o that tic*
rolleetion of these articles is very im
