STAMP SELLERS

Red Cross Women Ready to Start
In on Disposal of Half a
Million Stickers.

G. P. Wilder is going on the Red Cross
Christmas stamp job and says he will
stick to it. The sale by the ten groups
OF ten ladies each viii be started on
Monday morning next Mr.. Wilder is
to have special department, with
permission to secure an assistant, if
| required.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith declares
himself very much interested in the
stamp sale campaign and willing to
help II ne can possibly give any time
to the work. The acting governor, who
| is also president of the board of health,
is going to observe closely the work
of the local branch of the Red Cross
Society in its organization against
| tuberculosis. DIR. j. S. B. Pratt has
been appointed the delegate of the
board OF health to the conference of
the representatives of various So
cieties of the city. 1t is expected
that the acting governor will attend
by special invitation. He says he be-
lieves that out of this conference will
come a definite, workable plan that
will meet with the approval of all
who were ready to put forth effort to
meet the situation
Bright and early ON Monday morn
ing next the ''stamp ladies' will be
very much in evidence. They, will
have lists of names of citizens and
will make a thorough canvass of the
town. After three or four days of
this work the supply of half a mil
lion stamps will, it is expected, be
pretty low.
This is the first year of the Red Cross
Christmas stamp for Honolulu. Lots of
them came to this place from the main
land last year and correspondents of is
land people will appreciate that the
paradise is cup to date' when they
observe the tokens on letters and papers
from the nearest "outlying territory
Action is Concerted.
In connection with the work of the
antituberculosis campaign the follow
ing letter from Judge Dole clears up
a misunderstanding:
Editor Advertiser:-A letter in yes
terday's Advertiser entitled "United
Action is Demanded,'' referring to the
work of the Red Cross Society in re-
Iation to a day camp, contains the fol-
lowing: cit was thought best to place
the camp under the superintendent
of the Palama Settlement Committee. -
This is incorrect. What the Red Cross
Society did was to create large com
mittee of its own members for raising |
funds for the administration of a tuber |
culosis day camp, for the erection of |
which money had already been con- |
tributed. The Palama Settlement Com |
mittee has no connection with the en- |
terprise SO far as the Red Cross So |
ciety is concerned.
In regard to the location for the
camp, many localities have been ex
amined tentatively and no selection
will be made until a location is APP |
proved by the physicians of the place.
The Red Cross Society. is acting on a |
report of the committee referred to in
the way of combining the different |
agencies interested in the suppression
of tuberculosis in one central commit |
tee, and has proposed such action to
these agencies and asked them to send |
delegates TO act with the Red Cross |
Society In organizing the work.
The following persons have already |
been named as delegates by these agen-
cies respectively:
DIR. j. S. B. Pratt-Territoria Board
of Health.
