Over ; Million Increase In
Red Cross Membership

TO render a complete and personal
report to the people of the Southern
and New England States of the
manner in which the Red Cross War
Fund is being expended, and to
give a detailed account Of the activ-
tiles of the Red Cross during the
past six months, Henry P. Davidson,
Chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, and Harvey D. Gibson,
General Manager of the American
Red Cross, are planning to visit the
Red Cross Division Headquarters at
Atlanta, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
New York, Boston, and Baltimore,
following their speaking tour
through the West, which commences
this Saturday. A few other cities Of
the Southern and New England
States will probably be included in
the itinerary. In the Western trip,
the Red Cross officials will speak at
st. Louis, San Francisco, Minneapo-
lis, Chicago, Cleveland and several
other important Red Cross centers.
Following their return to Wash
ington next month, plans will be an
nounced for conferences between
Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Gibson, and
Red Cross officials and chapter
workers at the headquarters of the
Southern, Gulf, Pennsylvania, At
lantic and New England Divisions.
In the past six months, the Red
Cross membership has been increas-
ed to more than four million mem
bers, scattered among $500 chap
ters. The reorganization of the Am
erican Red Cross by this rapid growth
and added war activities, resulted in
the decentralization Of authority
from national headquarters to the
managers Of Athe thirteen divisions,
and make necessary the closest pos.
sible cooperation between national
and divisional headquarters.

Washington, D. c., Oct. %, 1917
Now that Uncle Sam has the young
men of the country in training for
military service, he finds that he
needs 10000 typewriter operators
and stenographers and typewriters,
both men and women, for the De-
partments at Washington. The Civ
il Service Commission has notified
all of its 5000 boards of examiners
that they should put forth their best
efforts to secure these urgently
needed workers. While examinations
are now held weekly in 45O cities,
the Commission states that arrange
ments will be made to have an exar L
inatlon held at any accessible place
where small class of applicants
can be secured. The entrance sal
aries range from $1,000 to $1,000
a year. Promotion is reasonably
rapid to those whose services prove
satisfactory. No appointments can
be made to these or other positions
in the Federal classified civil SER
vice unless authorized by the Civil
Service Commission under the civil
service law. Any information to
the contrary is unauthorized This
is a splendid opportunity to serve
your country. Full information may
be secured from the secretary of the
board of civil service examiners at
the post office in your city.
