One hears so much about war activi-
ties along various lines that naturally
ones mind confuses the different or
CARNATIONS through which all are
working with practically the same end
in view-what we are pleased to desig
nate as doing our bit" for the cause.
Conspicuous among the organizations
which have been working right along
since the beginning of the war before

that the war relief is 10 be merged
into the Red Cross. the rumor lacks
confirmation. In fact. while the
friendliest possible relations exist be-
tween the two organizations here in
Richmond and each has the full CO.

Association is perfectly content to re-
main at the present headquarters on
the fourth floor of the Allison Build

for the war sufferers on the other

given up their usual vacation at the
seaside, or in the mountains. or at the

shipped to the front for the alienation
of those in direst need and in the
grateful acknowledgements of the re-
| cipients. Phases of these acknowledge
