Work for Red Cross All Summer.

Work lot Neu Sross All ouliiinei'
Will the season at the country
clubs be dull or will the war relief
classes transplant themselves to the
cool shade OF the country clubs? The
question has been popping into the
heads OF people interested in the work
being done by various organizations.
When the summer heat becomes stlt-
ling will the hum of workers in the
Baird and the Army buildings be as
steady as it is now'
Last summer if society people went
anywhere they went to the country
clubs. This year all those who re-
main in town will be spending their
time in Red Cross, first aid, physical
drill, bandage rolling or other classes
which are useful in time OF war. Can
such revolutionary manner OF lite
continue steadily? Surely some OF
the classes will grow so warm and un-
comfortable that they will HE them
selves away TO the comfortable hooks
on the verandas of the clubs.
Mrs. O. c. Redick, in charge OF the
national surgical dressings work, says,
"We hope to have the classes work
away in the rooms all summer" Red
Cross leaders feel that their organi-
cations are too large for transplant
ing, so that they will be obliged to
remain in their downtown quarters.
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton workers in the Army building
have one Of the coolest looking places
for summer quarters now in use. The
big gray stone building always has
a cool, comfortable aspect on the hot
test summer day.
Other workers, however, can leave
their tables to exercise in the open
air without ceasing their efforts.
Physical exercise classes could find
a shady nook by the ripping brook in
some of the parks. Study classes
could meet on club porches just as
we'll as in shut-in rooms. Motor driv-
ers, when they have mastered the
working of their engines, can seek
country roads for trial spins. The
work along these lines will not be
burdensome; it will merely furnish di-
version along pleasant lines.

The Village Wise Men.

Every small town has a num-
hor of gentlemen who take their
seat of judgment on the goods
box in front of the store and then
nroceed to hand down wise say
ings on every known subject af-
fecting mankind.
No matter what is started, it
may be a law by the congress, it
may be a new revival meeting,
a new and better way to farm, a
better way to rear children and
protect their health--no matter
what it is, these village oracles
can always tell that the plan
worked out is no good and that
such and such a way would have
been better.
The training of these wise
men has been very thorough.
There can be no doubt ~(?) but
that they are all great lawyers,
if it is a question of law that
comes up for discussion, and an
ordinary man who has studied
law and practised it for years
knows nothing in comparison to
the village wise men why, they
can all tell you a better way to
raise an army than by the selec-
tive draft method! If it is a
question of religion and the
church, these village wise men
know more theology than all the
ministers who ever studied in
the theological seminaries and
nave spent years preaching the
gospel and doing good to all
men; IT it is question of farm
ing, these village wise men who
never ploWed a furrow, know
more than any demonstrators
mat ever graduated from any
university, no matter how many
years OF actual farming expert
ence ne may have had; if it is a
question of health, these village
wise men know more than all
me doctors, and they can prove
mat disease is sent upon us as a
punishment, that there is no such
'lllng as a germ, that flies are
sooo things to have around, and
mat 1t is much better to pay a
uoctor bill than to do some sim
pie little thing to prevent the
case of sickness.
y, On, these are very wise men!
ahey know better how to teach
'nan the teachers, they can give
points to the engineers and tell
any road supervisor more about
