her broken heart in noble service on
the battlefield. Her opportunity for

The above quotation from an ar
ticle in tho Red Cross Magazine on
What . Woman Can Do" answers a
question which 1s often asked in Keo-
kuk nowadays, as to whether mem Der
ship In the Red Cross entails actual
service on the field. Some Of the Keo
kuk girls have even gone so far as to
resign from First Aid classes for fear
they will be called to the fields to do
Red Gross nursing. Nothing perhaps
Is more difficult than to get onto the
Red Cross nursing stan, for one must
not only be q graduate Of q nurses

qualifications as well, and the quota
OF Red Cross nurses now ready for
actual service is large enough to take
caro- of an army Of million men.

WOMAN'S ARM IS
FOUND IN WEEDS
eruesome Discovery Made Yesterday
Afternoon In ciump Of Weeds
on the River
Front.
NO cLEw TO MYSTERY
Believed to be Relic Of Old keokuk
Medical CoIege-Was Not
Amputated by
Professional.

With the finding OF a shriveled
right arm of woman in clump Of
weeds a few yards west OF the
Hawkeye Pearl Button factory yes
terday >afternoon, Keokuk was given
a new mystery to ponder over.
The arm was uncovered by some
boys playing in the neighborhood
and after they had spread the news
the police station was notified DR.
L. M. Coffey and Officer Brennan
went down to look over the grue
some find and after they had made
an examination, the arm was turned
over to an undertaken for burial al
the request of the board OF health.
The arm had been lying where /,
was found for about two months, II
is believed. 1t appeared as II
1t had been at one time buried
in ashes, for it was in a good
state Of preservation. although the
flesh was shrunk, but not entirely
dried.
The most peculiar thing about the
arm Is that 1t includes a portion OF
the shoulder blade. According to DR.
Coffey, a surgeon amputating an
arm would never make the cut In tue
