5,500,000 pounds, or mors than 28,000 barrels. If this saving was made
three times a week, it would amount to 858,000,000 pounds, or 4,377,000

tasks In war industries, thousands
working In nil kinds of industries
within the soma! of German guns.
i They itro praised for their lutein

In the salvage centers at on ord

where 80,000 pairs of boots are re

were made Into boot laees. Thcso sal

asked by Dr. W. T. Foster, who was i
sent to France to Inspect the work of j
the American Red Cross, what this or-!

ter that would be the greatest help In I
the prosecution of the war.
"Assist In sustaining the morale of i

the American expeditionary forces re- j
piled without hesitation. j
According to Doctor Foster, who re
cently returned to the United States.
Iho Red Cross Is accomplishing this
purpose. In addition to aiding French
army hospitals with surgical dressings
and other supplies, the Red Cross Is
saving many civilians from starvation,
caring for orphan children and rebuild
ing the devastated areas.
"The Impression some have that
more supplies aro being produced In
America than there Is need for would
be quickly dissipated," he deelured,

The plan Is to get a stranger and
