INSTANT ATTENTION
HOME SERVICE SECT'NS

| Have All soldiers and sailors from
your district taken out war risk insur-
ance?
| Do they and their families realize
that two weeks, February 18th, will end
the last chance most of them will ever
have to take out any kind of insurance. :
| Insurance can be taken out before
February 18th, or within one hundred
and twenty days of enlistment, if that
would bring the time later.)
All men who have any dependent rel
atives should seize this generous offer
of the government while there is vet
time, and take insurance for the pro-
lection of their families.
All unmarried men who have no one
dependent upon them now, should yet
take insurance. They may come back
from war with such disabilities that
they cannot get insurance, or can get
it only at prohibitive rates. Then they
may deeply regret their inability TO
make proper provision for the families
they may yet have.
All home service sections should make
a hard drive in the few days that yet
remain, to secure this protection for
families of their enlisted men.
Only the enlisted man himself can APP
ply for insurance, but his family can
hasten and make sure of it if they will
take the following action:
Fill out the "Application for insur-
ance' Form 2-A), all except the man =
signature, rank and organization and
the witness to the signature. Send
this to the man, asking him to sign it
in the presence Of his officer.
Since many men are so far from
home that there may be no time FOR
the above method, the War Risk Bureau
has just issued ruling that man
may, by telegram or cable, authorize
a representative to make the applica-
tion for him. For instance, wife may
wire her husband to authorize her by
telegraph to apply for insurance on his
life. Such telegram from him may be
attached to the application in place Of
his signature and will be accepted IS
the mans appointment Of his wife as
his representative.

HOLD MON Inty MEET

A most interesting session of the
Glenwood Parent.Teachers' association
was held last Tuesday evening at the
high school assembly. The room was
filled with patrons of the school and a
delightful program was rendered. The
meeting was in charge of Mrs. c. II
King, vice president of the association,
A musical number by the primary
class, dance by the fourth grade
girls and exercises by the fourth grade
boys put the large audience in an ex.
eellent humor for the remainder of the
program.
DR.. w. A. Cook of the University of
Colorado was then introduced and he
spoke for more than an hour in most
| interesting fashion on "The Parent
and the Scheol,'' his address being
very practical and decidedly interest
ing to parents, teachers and good citi-
zens alike. During his address he
touched quite extensively upon the
subject of "Eugenics,' subject
which in coming years will be consid-
cred of the greatest Importance but
which is now passed over altogether
too lightly.
DIR. Cook showed the tendency of the
people to give much study and prepa-
ration to almost every undertaking
and yet the question of parenthood

by those who assume this important
function of human life.
He complimented the Parent-Teach-
ers' associations, the reading clubs and
kindred organizations on the good
work they are doing, and the manner
in which they are encouraging and as.
sisting the teachers to make better
schools.
At the conclusion of DR.. Cooks al

REPORT on TIRE
RED cRoSS DRIVE

1t is now possible to give report OF
the holiday Red Cross drive in the dis
trict covered by this chapter.
There were 1902 memberships added
to the roll, of-which 32o at Carbonda Ie
were reported direct to Denver head
quarters. The remaining 9s2 consisted
of 952 annual memberships at one dollar
each and 32 subscription members AT
two dollars per year. In addition there
were donations of two dollars and fifty
cents in cash. The drive resulted in
$1OlS.50, exclusive of the amount raised
at Carbondale. This came from the
vicinity of New Castle, Cardiff
and Glenwood Springs, and it is
expected the chapter will be able to
give exact figures soon as to the pro
portion from each community.
OF that $lo1s.5o, fifty cents for each
one dollar membership and one dollar
and twenty-five cents for each two

tween the branches at New Castle,
Cardiff and Glenwood Springs in pro-
portion to the memberships obtained in
each of these vicinities.
In addition to this money there was
a deposit in the First National bank of
$4,000, being one-fourth of the amount
to be used in Garfield county out of
the war fund subscription raised last
spring. This money has been tied up
owing to Misunderstanding as to the
formalities to secure the use thereof.

the Tuscania were landed, is located
on Lopgh Swilly, on the northern coast
of Ireland 12 miles from Londonderry.
