She Cannot Understand

Editor Banner:
In these days of sorrow and suf.
fering we see. the word conserve and
it is well that we keep this word be-
fore US and try in every way to help
save the food supply.
But one thing | cannot understand
why this call is sent to the wife and
mother instead of the men.
A mother will get a meal for her
children and conserve in every de-
tail and the husband will come home
with a cigar in his teeth and two in
his pocket and still he thinks he is
conserving when every cigar is a loaf
of bread. Mr.. Hoover had better get
busy with the men and figure what
the tobacco habit costs not only in
money but in relieving hunger and
want. Men should be willing to cut
down on these things.
There has been much said pro and
con in regard to sending tobacco to
our soldiers. / believe in giving our
boys things for their comfort, but if
conditions are as they say in regard
to hunger and suffering among wom-
en- and children in France and my boy
could sit and smoke when children
are starving to death, his fath&-
would be ashamed of him. Now come
on fellows and use the money for
bread until we have wiped the kaiser
from the face of the earth.
A Mother.

Along comes Christmas, each year
attended by a bevy of adorable break
fast caps always prettier than those OF
other years. Here are two which will
solve at once the problem of what to
give to the friend you hope to please.
The little cap at the top is a glori-
fled and frivolous version of the sun
bonnet. 1t is made of val lace edg-
ing and insertion in a fiat medallion
shaped piece over the top of the head
and little cape that hangs from the
back. A band of pink MORE ribbon is
brought across the top of the cap and
ties In the back at the nape of the
neck. 1t is encouraged to be useful
and stay in place by the company OF
clusters of the tiniest chiffon roses.
A band of hemstitched taffeta, edged
with lace and trimmed with zig-zag
band of little blossoms, makes the
other enticing cap. 1t fastens at the
side under a bow of narrow satin rib
bon, with snap fasteners.

to be orderly. this lantern bag has
every chance of success In fulfilling
Its mission. II Is thing of beauty

In conspicuous place to be admired.
Its envied owner cannot lose sight of
1t or refuse to behave as he should
when soiled collars or handkerchiefs
are to be disposed of.
The lantern bag makes a beautiful
gift for anyone and Is made Of Japa-
nese silk, red velvet and gold braid. II
Is finished with handsome silk tassels
and suspended by silk cord. A cover
8 made for the top of the lantern and
fastened by the clip through the braid
lsed for binding.

among the clever. homemade Christ

MAKE YOUR CH0lCE-lT'S
RED CROSS OR IRON CROSS

One Of the most striking phrases ex-
pressive of the duty of every Ameri-
can to uphold the Red Cross is that Of
j. Roe Purchase, editor Of trade pa
per In Chicago. Here is what he tells
his readers:
you'd better bear the Red Cross
burden now than bear the Iron Cross
burden all the rest Of your life"
Never was spoken truer word. The
first appeal Of the Red Cross was for
$100,000,000 which means about 81
per capita. This fund is for the care
of sick and wounded soldiers, and the
destitute in war-desOlated lands.
But when the German heel is stamp
ed down upon land-Belgium, Ser
bia, Poland, Roumania, Francois far
as the crown prince has been able to
gO-there is no such thing as a con-
tributlon; 1t is confiscation. Why, more
money has been ravished from the one
city of Brussels than the Red Cross
asked for its whole first year cam
paign. Millions of dollars in "fines"
are taken from every Belgian city ev-
cry month. Only few weeks ago a
fine of millions was imposed on Brus-
sells because newspaper published Dy
Belgians In England had printed
story Of German savagery.

CHASER OF CYCLONES

The world is full Of rainbow
chasers, but the one and only
official cyclone chaser is John J.
O'Connor, director Of the central
division of the American Red
Cross, with headquarters at Chi
cago. The Red Cross Magazine
has graphically told how he per-
sonally administered relief at
Newcastle and New Albany, Ind,
when those cities were wrecked
by storms. But 1t is not general
ly known that, beginning with
the disaster at Mattoon and
Charleston, where 90 lives were
lost, Mr.. O'Connor directed re-
lief work in 55 communities
scattered over seven statesl
Not only did he get calls for
help from several of the nine
states then in his division, but
Washington ordered him to take
over the cyclone relief work in
Kansas and Oklahoma, which or-
dinarily are administered from
Denver.

HosO Much The
Little Heroes
Need Our Help!

1t Is less theatrical to give bowl OF
soup to a hungry, frightened little
child than to stanch the wound of a
fallen soldier In the lighting line, but
the American Red Cross has undertl-
ken to care for the suffering civilians
In war-torn Europe as well as to nurse
the wounded fighters. These little ones
are just as heroic. in their way. as
any man who charges the German
guns. And the children are often
wounded, too.
Here Is an extract from q letter
written by Mrs. Marian Bonsall Davis,
who was for six months volunteer
worker in France, among those nom
combatants who are almost hourly In
danger from German guns and bombs !:
Because so many bombs fall on the
town of Nancy, and because the place
is sometimes bombarded, the children
all know that on certain signal they
must run into the cellar of the nearest
house marked with the great red cross
There, perhaps, they will have protee-
tion.
There are children in the hospitals,
victims Of the bombs. There is one
little girl, both legs taken off by a
German bomb, hugging tight her dolly,
with never a smile on her grave face.
There are two little boys who also
suffered amputations because of the
bombs. They begged to be allowed
to lie in the hospital ward with the
wounded soldiers, and when the sol
diers heard of the request they smiled
and said "bien! (It is well.) And
now the little fellows are inordinately
proud of the mutilations that permit
them to lie in the ward of crippled SOL
dlers, the equals in rank of the heroes
Of battle.
"Then there are the little ones In the
refugee colonies. If you have helped
with your money, with service, to car
ry the world-burden, you can look into
their eyes; otherwise you turn your
head when they gaze at you with
child wisdom.
"These little ones are very like 9th
er children except in one thing-no
horrible thing can ever surprise them.
Their baby eyes have looked upon the
unspeakable. They have gazed on vio-
lence and wrath in their most pervert-
ed forms, have seen their grandpar-.
ents hunted and driven, their mothers
hunted down. They are too young TO
know that these things are not COM
mon part Of life. And they are so
much older than you in knowledge of
violence and suffering and terror, yet
because you are so big, and seem to
them wise. they look up to you in child
appeal.
'When you have seen that from
these little ones, you have touched the
war; and when you have touched the
war, there Is only one kind of relief
possible to you-and that is to help.
There is very definite, practical way
to help-the American Red Cross. Ev-
cry cent you give will go further than
you ever would believe that cent
could go. A cent will give bowl of
soup to hungry, frightened child"
