Mckinley Girls
Do Bit" Through
Red Cross Work
Spend Afternoons Rolling Ban.
dages, Congresses; Knit
ting Class Organized

Red Gross wOrl. was started at Nc
kinley high school recently when
about % girls opened up a drive. II
Last Friday afternoon the girls began
the task of rolling bandages and max,
ing congresses in the throne room of
the capitol building. Here, under the
supervision Of a teacher from the
school, these girls are preparing hospi
tai supplies for shipment to the west
front in France. 1t is eStimaed thai
their efforts each week equal the time
put in by two persons for a week, each
working without cessation eight hours
a day. About % are at work every
Friday, and from five to seven every
other school day. ~....
Several women teachers have re-
spended to the call, and one at least is
On hand with the girls daily, helping
them and ending their encourage
ment % the enterprise. During the
first four days of last week the work
is carried on at the Army and Navy Y.
NJ. c. A., room on the Alakea street
side being available.
The efforts Of the girls were given
fine impetus at the school assembly
Monday when Mrs. H. r. Damon tall.
ed to the students on the work being
done by school children of France.
She told of the first effort that the
children of that Republic made. re-
Eairing worn uniforms and clothing
for the soldiers, and how i, even ap.
peared to these girls that they were
hni hy0f 6rr
the =, trenches. After this form Of
work had been going on for some time,
the school children began to write let.
tiers of good cheer and greeting to the
men, and in return were repaid by the
gratitude of the soldiers as expressed
in letters. Mrs. Damon mentioned in
particular one letter from a Soldier in
which he sent a flower that grew In
the trenches as his only means Of
showing his gratitude.
One result Of this talk was the for.
nation of class in knitting by the
girls of the high school. The girls
feel that they would like to be of some
further service as the Sammies go in.
to war in France. and therefore are
taking up this very practical form OF
training for service. They hope to be
ready to turn out articles useful to the
men at the front by the time they are
called upon to send knitted clothing. 1t
is not possible to send all of the
things that the girls are able to pre-.
pare, on. account of the shortage of
cargo space, and they even f1nd it
necessary to procure their own wool
for. the instruction course in knitting.
Tile Red Cross leaders are welt
pleased with the work being done by
the girls at Mckinley. They are re,
ported as saying that it is entirely sat
isfactory, and that the class of work
is up to- standard in every way.
