How to Get Red Cross Members.

all questions before any public cam
paign is undertaken.
In the pamphlet on organization and
activities (Which may be procured
from the magazine and information
bureau, American Red Cross, Wash
ington, d. CO. we learn that "any resi-
dent of the United States, of good
character, is eligible for enrolment
as a member of the Red Cross" A
newly formed chapter therefore may
attempt to enroll nearly all the people
in its locality as members. In recent
campaigns for membership six classes
of members are specified as follows:
Annual member, dues. 81 90
ASubscribing member, dues annually. 200
+Contributing member. dues annually 500
Sustaining member, dues annually. 1000
*Life member one payment. 500
*Patron member, one payment....... 100
All classes starred above include an
nual subscription to the American Red
Cross Magazine.
In the May issue Of the Red Cross
Magazine there Is an article on ''How
to Run a Membership Campaign" A
letter to Mr.. II. ]. Hill, director of
membership extension, at the nation;
headquarters, American Red Cross,
Washington. D. c., will bring all the
necessary Information. This is work
in which women can serve America In
this time of trial.

When a Red Cross chapter has been
formally organized, as directed in
former article then-and never in any
case before-should public meeting
be called and q membership campaign
begun. In cases where public meet
ing is called first, there Is usually
great amount of enthusiasm aroused
hundreds and thousands of persons de-
sire to become members and begin
work at once-and there is no way to
accommodate them. Sometimes the
best men are not chosen leaders, and
in any case the proper organization is
hampered.
Then, because the people cannot be
enrolled and put at active work at
once. their enthusiasm wanes, and by
the time the chapter is formally or
ganized and ready to proceed, inter
est has abated.
But when a chapter has been prop
erly organized, and differed by men
and women in whom the community
has implicit confidence, and a member
shin campaign definitely mapped out
in advance, public meetings. press no.
tees and all the forms of advertising
which a live committee may devise,
will be found of great advantage.
In the same way, the officers and
members of the executive committee
should learn everything possible about
the Red Cross, its purposes, its meth
DDS and the way in which its work is
carried on, and be ready to answer

Just as we come to the conclusion
that there is not a possibility of any
thing new in blouses, something hap
pens in that line that has not happened
before. A charming and brilliant de-
sign makes it's unexpected entry, diff
ferently cut, differently constructed or
showing a new management of color
which sets it apart from all that have
gone before. AS long as the unlocked
for comes to pass in this fascinating
way we will keep right on buying
biouses, come what will In the way Of
One-piece frocks.
A star among the new arrivals in
blousedom is shown In the picture.
This blouse is beautiful and brilliant
green in georgette crepe, with all
seams and edges bound with satin to
match.
The sleeves are cut in one with the
yoke in way that is clever and be-
coming, forming unusual lines that
are emphasized by the satin binding.
The fastening at the front is managed
in the most inconspicuous way with

small, satin-covered buttons, set at
close intervals, on the hem and snap
fasteners doing the real work. There
is a moderately large collar, bound
with satin, and the plain sleeves are
finished in the same way at the wrist.
Bits of Paisley embroidery, sparipgly
used are set on the sleeves, at the
neck, and at the front of the belt, and
look as rich as jewels against the vivid
green background that seems, Of all
colors, the best suited to them. For
the tourist this is perfection in cos
tune blouse, because Of it's color,
which does not soil easily, and be-
cause of it's brilliance and style. 1t
will look well with white or gray or
tan skirt and cause the beholder to
forget a black one. With a handsome
black hat it is equal to almost any
demand In the way Of dress, where
something of formality is required. Ex-
perience proves these thin, fragile-lOok-
ing blouses to be as durable as heavier
ones and easier than any other to car
ry along on a journey.

Joffre Is Mathematician.

General Joffre, had he not chosen
the army as a profession, might have
been a professor of mathematics, and
the new French war minister, M. Pain
leve, is one of the most brilliant of
contemporary mathematicians. AS a
boy, indeed, he was a mathematical
prodigy, and before he entered politics
he had written several books on adj
vanced mathematical problems. Mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation and applied science
will probably prove the most important
factors in ending the world war, and
the allies have now a galaxy of scien-
tific brains in their service.
