TuF RED CROSS.

Put the people behind the forces,
General Leonard Wood said the
other night. BY Christmas Eve the
Red Cross will put fifteen million peo-
ple behind the forces, and the men
and boys will feel the strong support
and do more buoyant work.
This is a war not of armies and
navies. but OF whole peoples. Presi-
dent Wilson said. The Red Cross has
now in its membership one-twentieth
of the whole people. On Christmas
Eve it will have one-seventh OF the
whole people. Think what that viii
mean to our boys in the trenches
when they know il!
why does not the government take
over all the Red Cross work. some
enc asks. Who wants them to? Do
Won? Do YOU want to hand over to
an official government the privilege
OF giving all the tender care TO the
wounded? Do you want to be told
that bandages, sweaters, and all the
delicacies that relieve the suffering
and monotony of camp and trench
life are to be supplied by the govern
ment, while you fold your hands and
do nothing?
The Red Cross is keeping our hands

M0MEN IL TnE WORK.

Following the women elevator oper-
ators and warehouse employees and
street-car conductors come the
omen letter-carriers, OF whom POST
master Patten has assigned ten for
duty in the holiday rush in the post
Office al New York AS compared
with the far greater termination OF
industry In England and France due
TO the war, the transformation here
may be said to have only begun Be
fore a parallel can be drawn, Ameri-
can women will have to enter many
lines OF labor hitherto monopolized
by male einployees-to till the fields,
10 quarry rock. do blacksmith's work
and run stationary engines, etc.
The main thing is that the begin
ming has now been made in earnest
and that the women so employed In
masculine occupations are showing
their ftness as well as they can. But
it Is not alone on the young women OF
robust physique that the obligation OF
war work rests. While they are re-
leasing men for military duty their
more delicate sisters must do their
part; they must help to release work
ingwomen for mems vacations. As
President Vanderlip says;
The idle women OF the country
must awaken If the idle rich
women continue to employ sew
eral cooks and waiting maids
they will in all probability be
scrubbing their own floors or
working in munitions factories
within the next two years.
If women are to do mems work
other women must make up the short
age of feminine labor But in the re
adjustment sight must not be lost OF
the economical problem involved
Where women are hired for mems
Jobs they should receive mems pay,
and there must be no attempt to dis
charge male employees for the pur-
pose of filling their places with fe-
male labor at lower wages, though
this will be attempted.

TIME LOST AND LABOR. TOO.

In order to be able to purchase
coal from certain local dealers, it is
necessary to call them up by tele-
phone (at their own requestl every
day. for days, and often weeks. And
after calling up, when the coal does
come in" and is ready for delivery.
the coal dealers compel you to come
to their place and give the order. they
refuse to take the real order over the
telephone. Now, what do you think
OF that
Now. this is time lost. and labor
lost, too. 1t takes the time of the
person who calls up, and it takes the
line OF the person at the other end of
lac line. presumably person in the
employ of the coal company to
answer the telephone.
To do this day after day, as the
general public" is requested to do,
IN order 10 buy one ton of coal, and
pay cash in advance for it. or on de-
livery, is a pure waste OF time. and
d waste OF labor as we'll
Since we are asked to conserve
everything these days-food and coal
being two important items (not to
mention sugar)-it would not be a
bad idea to conserve labor and time
in the useless waste practiced over
the telephone every day ordering coal
that cannot be sent out for one rea-
son or another Let us be consistent
In our conservation" methods.
