MILITARY DANCE
‘ BEING ARRANGED
TD HELP DRILLS
Public Will Be Given Opportunity
To Assist Boys Now In
Training.
A military ball will be given in
Nenana on the night of April 27,
£rr the benefit of the men who are
receiving instruction under Sergeant
Smith. Practically all arrangements
for the affair have been completed
and Sergeant Smith is authority for
the statement that no pains are be
ing spared to make the dance a huge
success, from a social viewpoint.
And if it is that, it is reasonable
to believe that it will be a financial
* success, also.
In explaining the purpose of the
dance, Sergeant Smith says that
those who are drilling have been
put to considerable expense, having
been obliged to pay, from their own
funds, hall rent and for the wooden
rifles with wihch they are drilling.
I
Inasmuch as the men are willing to
devote their time tc the drills, with
a view to entering the service of
their country when called to the
colors, Sergeant Smith believes that
the public will welcome the oppor
tunity to put up the small amount
of money needed to make the drills
a success. With that object in view,
he suggested the military ball, and
is now devoting a large part of his
time to the details in connection with
the affair. He seeks the co-operation
of the Nenana public to insure the
success of the ball.

ON CARGO NEEDS
Representative of the Shipping Board
Coming to Alaska For
Data.
FAIRBANKS, April 19—The Fair
banks Commercial club has received
advices from Delegate Sulzer to the
effect that represenatives of the fed
eral shipping board are arranging
to leave Washington, D. C. for the
Pacific coast on May 2 for the pur
pose of making inquiry into the
needs of Pacific coast and Alaskan
shipping <luring the coming hear
ing.
A hearing will be held at Seattle
immediately upon the arrival of the
officials at that place, and later they
will come to Alaska to make further
inquiries, with a view to ascertain
ing the needs of the various nor
thern districts in the way of pro
visions and supplies of various kinds,
sufficient to carry them through the
,season.
! This action has been taken by the
government in order that a suffi
cient number of boats may be left
free to carry freight for Alaskan
needs, and it indicates that the gov
ernment is considering a further
withdrawal of boats from the Alaska
run. if such action can be taken
without restricting shipping beyond
the needs of the territory.
The local commercial club will
prepare a statement, for submission
to the shipping board representa
tives. showing the tonnage that will
be required to carry the Fairbanks
district over another year, and other
. organizations throughout the Interior
will be asked to take similar action.

^They made the trip up by dog team
Announcement is made of the es
tablishment of a Bureau of Motor
Corps Service of the American Red
Cross to national and broaden the
scope of the woman’s motor corps
which heretofore have been merely
adjuncts of local chapters in the
several cities where such work has
been organized. The uniform worn
by the Red Cross Motor Corps of
the District of Columbia chapter,
of which Mrs. J. Borden Harriman
is colonel, will be adopted as the
national uniform with a few chang
es. The women of the District of
Columbia wear breeches. The na
tional rules will require short skirts
over the breeches.
A. J. Pizzino, of the Department
| of Military Relief of the Red Cross,
| who has been appointed director of
j the new bureau, says he hopes to
j have motor corps in service in every
j city in the country in a short time.
Rules to be Standardized.
| “Under the national control,” says
'an official statement, regarding the
! work of the new bureau, “the rules
; governing the service will be stand
; ardized and strictly enforced. Wo
men desirous of entering the ser
j vice will be required to take an
] examination in such essentials as a
| fair knowledge of mechanics, ac
quaintance with traffic rules, first
aid, etc. Moreover, the rules will
be rigidly enforced and particular
care will be taken In the estab
lishment of safeguards to prevent
anything that would reflect on the
high character of the Red Cross and
. tend to bring humiliation to the
body of the high-minded American
young women who are enlisted in
the work.
Corps Already Operating
i “Inquiry made immediately fol
lowing the creation of the Motor
Corps Service bureau brought re
ports showing that there are be
tween 75 and 100 motor corps oper
ating under the ausipices of as
many Red Cross chapters in differ
ent parts of the country. Approxi
mately 1,500 women and girls are
volunteers in the service, and the
cars in use are, generally speaking,
owned as well as operated by uni
formed volunteers.
“If plans carry, the present num
ber of motor corps soon will be ex
panded to 700. The national bu
reau is desirous that every Red
Cross chapter that has not already
done so organize a corps as quickly
as possible.
“The department of military re
lief of the Red Cross is making ela
borate arrangements to look after
' the comfort of soldiers who are re
turned wounded to their native
j shores, and for those who have been
: crippled and reconstructed who are
| sent back to their own homes. No
matter how remote from the port of
arrival the home of the returning
! soldier may be, whether in the
mountains or out on the plains, or
I where not, the Red Cross plans to
i go with him on the way, through
: a systematic relay service, and see
1 to it that his journey is made pleas
j ant and that he has attention after
! he gets to his destination.
“It is in carrying out this scheme
• the magnitude as well as the bene
• fit of which will be appreciated a
! little later, that the motor corps
! will come strongly to the fore.
Work in Washington,
i “During the recent coal famine
: in Washington and other cities, va
j lient service was performed by the
members of the Red Cross Motor
: corps, who carried bags of coal in
1 their automobiles to the homes of
j the suffering poor. The Washing
ton corps is the largest in the coun
try at present, embracing 60 mem
bers, and having in its equipment
57 passenger cars, 3 ambulances and
1 motor truck.”

EGGS FROM 160,000 HENS
LOST FROM FOOD SUPPLY
Agents of the United States de
partment of agriculture, report that
between January 1, 1918 and Feb
ruary 11, 40 carloads, each of about
4,000 hens and pullets, were shipped
from the state of Texas alone.
This means that 160,000 birds
that were laying, or about ready
to lay, were prevented from turn
ing into eggs the food they had
consumed without return during the
winter. Had these birds been kept
until April 30, as urged by the de
partment of agriculture, and as re
quired by the Food Administration
for those remaining on the farms
on February 11, it would have
meant at an estimate an addition
of 400,000 dozen eggs to the food
supply of the nation., with little
added expense for food, and would
merely have postponed use of the ;
birds themselves as food until after!
