AASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—It's a long
.line between fires. So the firemen
i^iit for the Red Cross. They're do
mg it all over the country, the Red
Toss told the United Press today.
Sister Susie and her well known
• abit of sewing shirts for soldiers has
teen outclassed. The firemen are
fabricating fragments of fabric for
tighten.
Chess, checkers, cards and newspa
pers pall in time. The substitution
of motors for horses in many city fire
departments has even relieved the
I firemen of the task of currying and
feeding the horses.
1 So the firemen knit.
One of the first experiments in hav
ing firemen knit was in Rochester, N.
Y., where George Eastman, the kodak
man and a prominent worker In the
Rochester Red Cross chapter, hit upon
the idea of enlisting firemen in Red
Cross work.
Knitting machines were provided
ar.d the men now have competition as
to the length of time required U» make
a sock, and also the quantity that can
be turned out in a day. The firemer
are very glad to have something tc
do in their leisure time and are pro
ducing a large number of socks.
The possibility of utilizing the leis
ure time of the thousands of firemen
throughout the country has been sug
in'Hi j-.Tiiitag-jBi imw.*"- i
gested to the three thousand chai>
ters of the country, and the firemen's
assistance in supplying socks to sol I
diers and sailors will be solicited by
the local chapters.

NO TRUTH IN RUMOR PACIFIC
COAST BOYS NOT OUTFITTED
To set at rest the pernicious rum
ors that our boys from the Pacific
coast in both the Sunset and Rain
bow divisions were sailing from this
country without the proper equipment
and were not being supplied with any
knitted garments at all, the following
telegram from American Red Cross
headquarters at Washington was re
ceived:
“Forty-second, or Rainbow division,
1 and Forty-first, or Sunset division,
composed of men from Northwest,
1 left some time ago. Rainbow divis
ion was outfitted by Red Cross with
1 twenty-five thousand sweaters, ten
1 thousand helmets, twenty-four thous
! and mufflers, sixteen thousand wrist
1 lets, thirty-five thousand pairs socks,
' twenty-seven thousand comfort kits,
and Suntset division with twenty
1 four thousand sweaters, fifty-eight
' hundred helmets, fifteen thousand
mufflers, forty-seven hundred wrisf
I lets, fourteen thousand pair socks.
These figures are even thousans, omit
I ting hundreds, and are less in every
1 case than exact number provided.”
