The little trench candle looks SO very
simple that one may not realize how
important it is that the candle shall
be manufactured With care. They are
called trench candles because they are
used in the trenches and field hospi-
tails when surgical operations must be
performed The tiny trench candle
does not drip or flare. as do wax and
taIIow candies. and it gives forth
greater light. hence its Importance in
the foreign trenches Every soldiers
kit contains one, furnished through the
president aud founder of the American
Trench Newspaper Candle Association,
Miss NJ Cecilia Gaffney. who is also
president and officer in a number of
clubs.
Miss Gaffney receives shipments of
candles from any part of the country
most OF which come unparaffined.
She examines them. throws cut the
imperfect candles, and paraffines them
all after which she expresses them to
the Red Cross shipping department
for use abroad. During the zero
weather Of the winter, however. Miss
Gaffney diverted tens of thousands Of
candles to use among the poor. and
still supplies candies for the tenements.
Here and there are college presi-
dents and noble women Who share with
Miss G1ffncy her labor Of love. They
collect and paraffine candies and
teach others how To make them Mas
even here. seIffshness has ohtruded
itself and at least one woman has
sought to gain notorietY for herself
by putting forth improperly made can
!. dies identifying them by her name.
I and the Red Cross and a number OF
we'll meaning organizations, have been
embarrassed by this work: impossible
to make use Of. and for teaching
which the woman has charged $3.50 Il
lesson.
Not only are colleges and public
schools and hospitals teaching the art
Of making trench candies, taught 10
them by the founder of the work in
America, but the best known uniyer-
sity for the dissemination of knowl-
edge in this work is Columbia Uni
versity. where the Horace Mann
School for Teachers Is. especially, a
center OF candle activities.
