' , . , v Trench torches or ration heaters are the latest innovation in war relief work which will be made by Omaha Campfire girls. These torches are mijde out of rolled newspapers Klued. cut in four inch lengths and Boiled) in candle grease. These little dips will burn stuck 1 in the ground anywhere and have a slow flame which lasts about an hour. Newspapers will be collected from all who will give them and left over candle tips from the churches, as it is necessary to consider, the high cost of paraffin. Although unknown to American women until recently, the European women and children have been turn ing out the torches in great numbers. It is said that the Italian women and children make 1,500,000 torches daily. The heaters will keep a soldier's fingers warm in the trenches so that he can shoot and his rations hot so that he will have fighting energy. They are light to carry and a soldier may stop anywhere along the way in the cold mud-walled trenches to make himself s. warm cup of coffee. Trench" torch clubs have been form ed irt 'Chicago under the leadership of Miss Mervyne Chapman. It is a unique way to do one's bid and one in which even children can be interested m. - t Definite plans will be made at the Campfire girl board meeting Saturday noon at the Young Women's Christian association and a torch committee ap pointed. .
