Recently there has been enforced inactivity on the part of the local Red Cross workers, the Division . Head quarters being unable to supply the material necessary for filling the al lotments assigned the chapter. At last the required material has been received and again the room has taken n business like air. Large forces of workers are pres ent in the afternoon and the work which consists of pillow cases, com fort kits, housewives and gauze dress ing, is keeping them well occupied. The young workers arc now engaged the construction of an outing quilt, announcement haying been made of the need of these in the eampa in view of the approaching winter. This is a very excellent way to utilize outing scraps and those who have such in the bodies can assist in this very worthy cause by sending the scraps to the work room. In order to furnish the present al lotments it will be necessary for the women to work steadily for some time, it is hoped that as many as can will respond to the need for workers and come to the room ns often aa pos sible. BROTHER OF VIENNA MAN WODNDED W. £. MURRAY EXHIBITS RE MARKABLE SKILL WHEN*LEG WAS SHOT OFF BY SHELL. FLYER AND MACHINE FALL AT CORDELE LIEUTENANT DONALD, SOUTHER •FIELD FLYER SERIOUSLY IN JURED, MACHINE WRECKED...., Lieutenant Donald, - one of the most expert flyers stationed at South er Field was seriously injured Tues day morning at Cordele when he at tempted to stfeer his machine to a higher elevation for the return flight to Americus after he had performed some unusually difficult stunts in the air above the city. Lieutenant Donald / made the flight to Cordele for the pur pose of checking up the cadets who were making their daily practice flights. This done, ho was exhibiting his skill for the benefit of Cordelians and had just completed a particular!/ daring feat when the accident oc curred. According to the idea of the sergeant who accompanied the bird- man, occupying the rear seat of the machine and who escaped without in jury save a fow minor scratches, tho aviator attempted the stunt at an in sufficient height, it being necessary for the mechanical bird to take a downward swoop in coming out of the intricate whirl, befqro it could ascend again, consequently when the nose of * the machine was turned downward it struck the ground with violent force, . the pilot being unable to direct it in * an upward'course. The extent of Lieutenant Donald's injuries could not bo determined, a wound in the head was rather severe and both legs were thought to be broken. He was unconscious when . carried to the Cordele Sanitarium fpr medical attention. Tho machine was practically demolished. The injured man was popular in Cordele where ho enjoyed an extensive acquaintance , as the result bf bin frequent •flights, there.
