Blind Mothers of Our
Soldiers Should Not Beg

In Columbus, O., the blind mother of
a soldier with Pershing was brought be-
fore the city council for begging in de-
fiance of a newly adopted ordinance.
Blind mothers of soldiers should not
be permitted to beg.
The authorities should see that all
such practices are stopped at once.
BLIND MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS
SHOULD BE WELL CARED FOR BY
THE COMMUNITY so THEY WILL
NOT NEED TO BEG!
This is a problem America must face
at once.
So far no adequate provision has been
made for those the soldiers leave behind.
OF course in the new national army
there will be few taken who have de-
pendents. but there now are in service
many who have left dear ones behind
who llust be cared for.
America cannot afford to be other than
Justly generous with the mothers and
wives and children Of soldiers.
No soldier ought TO have TO face death
in France knowing dear ones are in pow
erty at home.
That is not what this great democ-
racy wants.
Let us hope the case Of this blind
mother in Columbus will arouse the ma
tion to make proper arrangements for
such cases.
Blind mothers Of soldiers should be
kept from begging by abolishing the
need for begging.

Do They Wander In
Mischief Or Do They Hear
Natures Distinct Call?

These are the days when the little
folks of our city feel the call of the
birds and meadows and willingly let
their little feet carry them whittier they
will.
Unknown to them an instinct calls
them back to their great mother, Nature,
and they fare forth with all the faith of
the new born creatures of the field to
satisfy craving for they know not
what.
Thirty-one in week, in this big city,
is the average number the police give us
of these wanderers, and it must be a
merciful providence, nothing else, which
hovers about them and guides their baby
steps thru the murderous traffic of the
streets.
So many of these little, tender things
are packed in crowded rooms where
steaming kettles, drying clothes and
raucous noises are constantly about
them.
so many are switched and cuffed about
by parents overburdened with children
and toll and striving with all their
strength to keep the wolf of hunger
from snatching them away.
So many never press their little bare
feet on the cool, green grass nor pull off
the daisy heads with their eager little
hands.
So many are just born in a tenement

ter their strength is gone and they can
work no more are laid out on board in
the other room while the family huddles
itself in the kitchen too busy. too wor-
ried, too beaten to indulge in overmuch
grief.

may devour.

Detroit Must Do It's Bit
Bandages Are Needed
AS Urgently AS Bullets

Learn to make bandages and surgical
dressings, and help the Red Crossw
The supplies committee Of the Detroit
chapter of the Red Cross has made that
appeal to every woman in Detroit.
The Allies hospitals behind the lines
in France are swamped with wounded.
Surgeons are using newspapers to bind
wounds.
In few days or weeks American
wounded will be lying beside the French
and English.
The American Red Cross, facing this
situation, is straining every nerve to in
crease the stream of bandages and dress
ings, and Detroit must step forward and
do her share.
Forty cases of dressings and band
ages have already been shipped by the
supplies committee of the local chapter
from its local headquarters, Newberry
house, 4S3 East Jefferson, but 40 boxes
ARE absolutely nothing.
They would not run one French base
hospital one week.
"Tell the women Of Detroit TO help us
make bandages and dressings" says Mrs.
Charles Todd, instructor of the supplies
class.
There is absolutely no limit to the
number we shall need. Every woman
should help. If she cannot come here to
work, she can come here and learn how
the work must be done, then she can
do it at home or in the country or wher-
ever she is. Detroit women must help
u.s."
A class in bandage making and the
making q surgical dressings will begin
st Nswbery house under the instruc-
ton of Mrs. Todd, July IL. Another
will start as soon as the first students
complete the course, which will prob
ably be in about . week.
A course consists of eight lessons of
three hours each, and classes will meet
mornings and afternoons daily.
After completing the course, which en-
titles the student to a certificate, two
weeks of additional work with the New
harry instructors is necessary to qualify
- an instructor.
Because chapters and branches al over
Michigan must be set to making band
nges and surgical supplies, the need of
more instructors is urgent.
Red Cross workers say there are not
q dozen women in the state, outside Of
hospitals, qualified to teach Red Cross
bandage-making.
y The bandages and dressings must be
made in a certain way to meet certain
specifications that are uniform all over
the country. To disregard these speci-
fications would mean that the bandages
and dressings would be rejected.

Stone Chapel Red Cross Society.

On Tuesday evening, July 81, at
Stone Chapel, the local committee Of
the Red Cross Society presented an
entertainment and festival for the
approval and benefit of their friends
and any others who were present. A
vital part of the work of the evening
was the statement of the aims of the
Red Cross organization, given by Dr.
J.. X. Woodward, chairman OF the
Carroll County Chapter, ably second
ed by Mrs S. K Herr and Messrs
George Gehr and H. Peyton GorSucn.
A thrilling description of the work Of
the society was given and stirring ap-
peals to the men and women of the
community to answer the call of duty
in helping the society made deep i'm
preston upon the minds of the audi
ence. The grounds were brilliantly
illuminated by the plant loaned by the
Delco-Light Corporations Agent, Mr.
Edward Frounfelter, and the entire
evening was much enlivened by the
excellent work of the Oak Orchard
Band, an organization which is now
we'll above the average in it's class
and bids fair to develop a statewide
reputation.

this projected entertainment, the pro-
gram of which is given in detail be-

day when they were hitched to a IS

might have had visions of dragging

soon proved the contrary, for when
they had stretched the tube almost
"a feet the chains by which it was
coupled to their harness cut the tough
rubber until the tube let CO." Jim
heaved a painful grunt as the end of
the tube containing the valve stem
struck him. This was the first stretch
On the second stretch the chains
were SO arranged that they would not
cut the tube and John" and Jim"
tugged at it until they had stretched
it twenty-four feet. Still it didn't
