You must be between the ages of

ABOUT THE RED CROSS.

The August number of the Ladies'
Home Journal contains page con-
Quoted by William Howard Taft, the
chairman of the Central Committee,
American National Red Cross. The
following are some questions and an
swers taken from this page, relative
to What Folks are Asking About
the Red Cross"
One hears a great deal about the
large salaries paid Red Cross execu-
tives. What is the truth?
The Red Cross executives are in
reality the lowest paid officials of
any organization of relief in America.
Mr.. Henry p. Davidson, who left his
desk as partner in J. P. Morgan &
Co, to head the Red Cross War Coun-
Gil, receives no salary; Judge Rob
ert S. Lovett, Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Union Pacific rail
road, is giving his service to the Red
Cross entirely without salary; Mr.
Taft's salary is nothing; Miss Board
mans salary is nothing; Miss De-
lanos salary is nothing. gerat
many even of the clerks and stenoe
raphers at the Washington head
quarters are volunteers, working
without pay. Chapter secretaries in
cities, having all the executive work
of branches and auxiliaries to do
receive smaller salaries than any
charity secretaries in their communi
ties.
Are women privileged to wear Red
Cross nurses uniforms or the Red
Cross emblem on costumes at fairs
bazaars or parties the proceeds oi
which are to be devoted to the Red
Cross?
/ They are absolutely not SO priVi
! legged. In fact, there are specific
laws against so doing, with specific
punishment for their infraction.
What becomes of the dollar that
pay for annual membership in the
Red Cross?
Fifty cents of it is retained by the
local Chapter to meet the expense:
