Your hus- mercialism, Is Warning In a communication received at Red Cross headquarters, 20 Court street, the attention of the local chapter is called to the fact that reports are be- ing systematically eclrculated that sweaters, socks and other knitted goods are being sold either to the pub- lic in shops or directly to soldiers. Not one however of these reports has been found true, he says, and should they ever be true, he states ‘‘vigorous' steps would be taken to prosecute the of- fenders under the fundamental law protecting the Red Cross against com- mercialization.” The communication follows: “H. D. Gibson, General Manager of the American National Red Cross, in a telegram today called to my atten- tion a matter of the most serfous im- port to every Red Cross Chapter. “A report that sweaters, socks and other articles knitted - for the Red Cross are being sold either to the pub- lic in shops or direct to the soldiers is being industriously and systematically circulated. “While this damaging report heard on many sides, it has in not a single instance been established as true. ' No articles whatever, either knitted or otherwise made by Red Cross workers and turned over to any Red Cross Chapter, Branch or Aux- iliary, or to any Supply Warehouse, are sold either to soldiers or the pub- lic. “Should it come to the attention of Red Cross Headquarters that anything of this sort is being done, the Red Cross chapter or subsidiary sanction- is 1 NEW BRITA!‘N DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1917, ALBINO SQWRRm: CAUGHT. F. A. Parsons Presents Rare Speci- men to Museum. The first albino ' specimen of any kind to be given to the Institute Mu- seum wags presented yesterday in the form of a white red squirrel. It is a splendid specimen, being entirely snow-white with the exception of two little red patches on its back. The fact that the squirrel is thus spotted makes it more interesting and rare. It was shot by F. A, Parsons of the H. R. Walker Co., near Waramaug Lake, New Preston, Conn. Besides the squirrel Mr. Parsons has present- ed a very large fossil sea urchin which he dug from the ground a few vears ago near Conesus Lake, Liv- ingston Co., N. Y. The lake is more than two hundred miles from salt water, and as other fossilized speci- mens were found which once inhab- ited the ocean, it is natural to sup- pose that thesp living creatures of ages ago which were transformed into stone, have remained buried in the ground since the period of time when the world lay submerged beneath the waters of the deep. These rare additions to the rapidly growing collection of the Institute will be placed on exhibition during “Museum Week.” POLICEE COURT ITEMS. needed, days, larger amounts. if necessary.
