RED CROSS NOTES.

We had hoped this week to
give q definite cost of what our
flrst shipment Of hospital gar
ments cost US, but must defer foI
something more important:
Tidines come to us from across
the sea that already the men in
the trenches are suffering from
cold, without warm clothes, and
that indications are that this win
ter will be more severe than last
and that the Red Cross must enter
another line of work, namely the
knitting OF sweaters, wTistlets,
socks, and mufflers.
iberia Chapter has been allotted
six hundred sets, at first the
writer thought this impossible,
but after doing little investlgat
ing among the women as to who
would try to learn to knit these
things so badly needed, we have
not thus far had a refusal, and we
feel very optimistic, that Iberia
Chapter will again respond with
the goods.
About the first week of Septem
Der the ladies of New Iberia will
be notified in some way of place
of meeting aud by this time In
structioD, needles and wool with a
few competent teachers will be Oh
hand to give us our first lessons.
Remember the men In The
trenches have not steam heat or
sunshine and to do what they
must, win this war, they must
have warm clothing, and we must
furnish our share and | think ]
may say we WILL.
News comes to us that the ship
ping space 10 becoming less and
less and 1t is no use to make up
stuff to store in warehouses. when
We can do that which is needed

Having made up complete indj
