that there was little prospect of the
operators meeting the demand for a
six dollar a day wage. The district
has had a fair amount of min during
recent periods and practically every
operator on the creek is using all the

Owing to an apparent disinclination
<*n the part of most of the member?
to continue knitting activities since
the cessation of the war, the local Ret:
Cross chapter finds Itself with an over
ly large supply of knitting yarn or
hand for which there is no apparenl
use. As a result the chapter hai
decided to dispose of such quantity hi

and will ship the remainder to tin
States. The yarn is of the highesi
grade obtainable now-a-days and
ctmprlses two varieties, sock yarr
and sweater yarn. The colors arc
gray and brown. The price charged
will be the same as charged by the
stores, although the quality is probab
ly superior to any yarn obtainable
elsewhere in the city. The Red Cross
officials say It Is useless to hold the
yarn here on the expectation that it
will be used in Red Cross work, as
only a very few appear to possess the
slightest inclination to display their
humanitarian qualities by knitting
activities. This attitude is regrettable
as tiere is still an overwhelming need
for warm clothing among the war Im
poverished peoples of Europe, tens of
thousands of whom would be thankful
for any form of garment to shield
their poorly clad bodies from wind and
cold. However, most of the Nome
women appear to care very little
about how the unfortunates of Europe
fare as long as It cost them no pains
md tlif* chapter officials have decided
that the yarn should be shipped to
oilier places where the beneficent vir
tues of sympathy and compassion
may be found in more generous quan
tities than appears to be possible In
