be neglected. Red Cross committees,
assisted by expert Investigators, take
care Of children who need aid. The
needs of convalescing soldiers from the
front will be looked after.
If the time comes when women
must go into industry, the burden of
caring for children must be shifted
from many mothers. Homes or nurs-
cries must be found for infants. It is
the Red Cross that is called upon to
meet these emergencies also.
Big Brother Of the Services.
THE Red Cross Is the big brother Of
the medical services. The army and
navy cannot get along without it.
Without it a warning nation is almost
helpless for the reason that a nation
in time of war is unable to provide an
adequate medical organization without
civilian aid.
I'm no war have there ever been
enough nurses and surgeons. AS no
chain Is stronger than it's weakest link
so no army Is stronger than it's Red
Cross. So clearly is this understood
that in time Of war the government re-
quires the Red Cross to give all it's
energies and facilities to the nation.

THE Red Cross Is the only organiza-
ton authorized by the government to
render war relief services. 1t acts I'M
der a charter from the government.
Congress passed the act incorporating
1t. This act made the president its
official head and placed representatives
of the army and navy on its directing
staff.
in other words, the Red Cross is
officially as much a part Of the gov
eminent machinery as the army itself.
Despite this official standing, however,
the Red Cross must depend upon vol

serving humanity as well as the ma

THEIR TWO WAYS.
Women Shoppers Show There Are
Two Methods Of Killing a Cat.
One Gets crudging Service by SHARP
Demands While Other Wins Sales
girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas.
In many departments of Bolivar &
Clark's great store girls with tired
eyes were trying. usually with pa
thence, to serve the n~ever-ending line
Of customers. In the Bingham depart
ment, however, the clerks were having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together,
taking 1t for granted that any chance
visitor to the department was on her
way to the silk department beyond.
SO it happened that two women
stood for several minutes in front OF
the seersuckers without being noticed.
Presently one of them walked across
to the group where Madge Hardness
was graphically describing the Christ
mas that she would have If she had
a thousand dollars to spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tone.
II want to see seersuckers, and l
have no time to waste. Will n of
you come and wait upon me, or shall
/ call a floorwalker2"
A hot color famed in Madge's face.
She turned at once and began taking
down seersuckers. She answered ev-
cry question distinctly there was not
a thing with which her customer could
find fault, and yet her whole manner
radiatcd antagonism. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders
behind her customers back.
"The old cat" she said to Minnie
Dixon, as her customer left. I'D like
to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like to put her behind the counter
to wait upon herself. Wouldn't she
be a sweet one? She'd be fred at the
end Of the first day."
Just her the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was a little,
white-haired, old lady, but there was a
twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into
Madge's sullen face with a warm
hearted friendliness.
II hope you won't mind my saying
it," she remarked, but what pretty
girls you have at this counter! Old
ladies love to see them, you know
For a moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh, and the old lady
laughed with her.
"Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed
twinkling again, II expected you to
But all the same," she added, when hel
order was taken and she was turning
away. II meant 1t, too"
"Taffy" Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. but l be.
lieve she meant it. Anyway. 1t made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be SO foxy!"
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator, but II
was a tender smile, for she really
loved girls.
And the interested bystander who
had seen it all went on her way smil
ing, too.-Youth's Companion.

Give up the very unwise habit OF
putting off," Putting off will result
only in your giving up your good in
t~entions. There is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
q woman may be, she can always find
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means Of cheering or strength
ening another around her less strong
willed.
Putting off until tomorrow what you
could do today is q sure way to upset
things in general, for procrastination Is
surely the thief of time. Before one
realizes just how it happened the days
have flown by and we have not &C
complished one-half the things we had
intended to.
There is no time like the present,
and if we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure of instead OF
putting off, until that future that
may not come.-Exchange.

Major General Wood Describes
Work of the American
Red Cross.
Big BROTHER OF SERVICES
Army and Navy Cannot Get AIonu
Without lt-What the Red Cross
Needs-Work to BE Done
at Home.

Washington.-Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, U. s. A.. is the author of an ar.
ticle just issued In bulletin form by
the American Red Cross under the
caption what Women Can Do in the
War"
war" General Wood writes,
brings with 1t a call to national serv.
ice for women as well as men. There
are two very important ways in which
women can help the nation in war.
I'D BY working in industry, thereby
releasing men for the front, and (2) by
Joining the American Red Cross.
Next to the preparation of NUM-
lions and recruiting the army and the
navy, the most important step In get
ting ready for war is to build up a Red
Cross organization.
During the last few years much has
been done to prepare the American
Red Cross for the nations call; but
preparedness on q large scale cannot
be accomplished in peace time. All
that can be done is to prepare a skele-
ton organization capable of expansion
In war service, to draft plans Of mo-
bilization as any army staff would
draft them, and to gather reserve ma
terials and supplies.
when the call comes the Red Cross
must act quickly. 1t must take care of
a vastly increased army and navy.
Therefore, its growth must parallel
the growth of both branches of the
nations fighting force.
Time for Quick Action.
"The declaration Of q state of war
with Germany means that the Ameri-
can Red Cross must translate all these
plans prepared during peace into ac-
ton. 1t must be prepared to supple
ment the existing facilities Of the med.
zeal department of the army and the
navy and Of the Medical Reserve corps.

after membership there is oppor-
tunity for service with the Red Cross.
Every chapter has its workrooms and
its auxillaries. 1t has trained instruc.
tors In the preparation of hospital and
surgical supplies needed here and
abroad.
MANY chapters have classes in first
aid to the wounded, home care of the
sick, home dietetics, and in the making
of surgical dressings. All of these are
at the service of women who wish to
aid their country.
But what the Red Cross does need
today is trained women for the work
of military relief. The immediate call
Is for competent nurses. A soldiers
life Is too precious to risk in unskilled
hands. Nurses must largely be drawn
from the hospitals OF the cities.
women must be found to take the
places Of many nurses in civilian hos
pitfalls. To prepare for this emergency
the Red Cross has been conducting
great training classes for women

Making Life Joyous.

It Is not the great tragedies which
make life SO disappointing. 1t Is far
more the lack Of the world that might

It takes very little sometimes to set

flourished again. Why hunt up novel
