II seems the decision was reached In a
rather unparliamentary manner, and one

the decision with which she found fault,

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
Mrs. Lcidy offers the following suEges-
tions to Philadelphia women who are anX-
ious to help the Red Cross;
First / advise every woman to become
n member Of the Red Cross. The member
ship fee is $ which is spent in relief work
and gives the member equal privileges AT
headquarters with the richest contributor.
Secondly, / advise women to volunteer
for service. There is a bulk OF work TO
do and everybody can help. Women arc
needed in the sewing rooms, others required
to roll bandages and hundreds needed In
other branches.
Briefly there is not a woman in the
city who cannot do something that Is of
value TO tho organization
As an illustration Mrs Leidy pointed to
the work Of siXty-twO young women in
Philadelphia moving picture houses when
tho $3.000,o0O campaign was organized,
she continued. 1T waE decided TO collect
contributions in the movie theaters. Volun-
tcers were wanted and aixty-two responded.
They are young girls and majority are
recent graduates Of the high schools They
are meeting with success, too, and helping
to swell the Philadelphia fund. Two Of
the young women collected $3.50 IN a Mar
ket street theatre yesterday. This ls only
one type Of service.
But It typines tho spirit of the Red
Cross and such n spirit spells victory for
America 1t proves that the American
woman Of today ia animated with the same
spirit Of sacrifice that characterized the
women during the DAYS Of tne Revolution,
and such a spirit Will place the Red Cross
high up on the honor roll in this titanic
! struggle for world democracy"
