is to save material, gas time The
girls are encouraged to have no par
ties, but to save money for service
when necessity calls. The practice
lunches which were formerly served in
the department have been abandoned
for the year on account of food conser-
walton.
The sewing classes too are putting
forth every effort to make their work
worth while, In addition to small ar
ticles the girls have already made pa
Jamas and nightingales for the Red
Cross The girls are especially en-
thusiastic about the warm little
dresses they have made for the French
and Belgian orphans, These are made
Of old wool Jackets, skirts, shirts, or
any good available material.
A very prominent feature OF the
work this year Is the make over de-
partment The attics and scrap bags
have produced materials which the
girls have fashioned into very attrac-
tive dresses for themselves. Simplic-
tty and durability are being empha-
sized and 1t Is interesting to see the
personal pride which the girls feel in
being thrifty.
A high school club Of girls to do
work on surgical dressings Is being or

GRADED SCHOOL CHILDREN FIND MUCH
PLEASURE IN DOING WAR RELIEF WORK

High school pupils of the city have
adopted eight suggestions for the con-
sideration of the student body ,of the
school. They are timely in view OF the
war and the general trend Of conser-
walton OF resources. The suggestions
follow:
If you can't buy liberty bonds, buy
thrift stamps.
Write on both sides Of paper (other-
wise 1000 sheets wasted I'm high
school daily.)
Subscribe for home paper for some
soldier.
Keep self morally and physically
fit.
Do not use autos for pleasure.
Apply self to military training.
Support entertainments given for war
relief .
Pray that we may be given strength
sufficient to accomplish our purpose.
The high school students have taken
many ways OF helping In war relief
work. It will be remembered that re-
Gently the boys contributed 1850
toward prison relief work in connec-
ton with the Y. NJ. C. A. war work
fund. The girls gave 1888 to the 7. NJ.
G. A. lwar relief work. Fhe proceeds
of the May fete given in June, amount
Ing to about $780, went to the Red
Cross.
The Pebbles management. the Junior
class and the military and athletics de-
partments purchased liberty bonds. IA
large proportion Of high school pupils
entered 81 freely into the purchase Of
liberty bonds other than the above.
The school paper is sending its is-
s,'es gratis to all members Of the
Nslarshalltown high school alumni who
are IN the service OF this nation.
