BE READY TO HkLP

There are two sides to war. The first is the blaze of glory typified by stirring strains of martial music and the resOlnd ing tread of victorious soldiers.
 The second is a view of sorrow the anguish of bereaved wives sweethearts and mothers: the steady stream of maimed men pouring back from the battle field.
 There is one organization in the world whose miniStrationS to friend, foe or civilian continue regardless of the tide of battle and that organization is the Red Cross.
 Our President who is likewise President of the American Red Cross has asked us to rally once more under the banner. On the 2Oth inst the second war fund drive will begin and the Red Cross will want your help.
 The sacrifice we are asked to make is material but as nee essary as any, and although the demands upon our people are So great and so continuous, the Red Cross approaches them with no feeling of apology but in the knowledge that this is the time of sacrifice, that continued

tine--this is not a fairy tale--it was
said that d sailor had a girl In every

aimee the days Of Farragut Now.
four gtrls-four very pretty little
girls--have every jackie in Uncle

literally true,
The four girls who have the jacktes
by the hand are most important fac
tors In Secretary Daniels orEaniza-
ton. Recently the navy department
adopted new method tt identiflca-
ton. at least new in navy circles the
finger print method.
When Secretary Daniels made up
his mind that ne wanted the finger
prints Of every Jack tar in the whoie
navy. he realized that Il was a task
that meant considerable scunen and
judgment, az well as careful and
painstaking work. T herefore he
picked four girls 70 d. the work.
Today. in rather urimposing
room in the navy department, these
girls have the finger prints and the
hand marks Of every member Of the
navy. All are tabulsted and carefully
filed So wnen the eruc%ome things
Of war happen, II Is possible for these
four girls To relieve the minds of

finger prints. II is perhaps IN un-
happy task for girls but war Is un-
happy and these -four young ladies

Of course, they didn't actually coll

were taken by ship commanders and

Here they are indexed and cross in

ton OF the man. Each Jack tar Is
changed as his station IS changed and
In this manner the four Rirls fol-
low the sailors All over the world and
every movement or transfer means n
change OF index in the office in Wash

1t IS considerable task. hut there
are some compensations. because these
girls have held the hands Of more Of
Uncle Sans sailor men than any other
girl in the whole world. II happens
that a great many newly enlisted men
are sent to Washington for time
and they have TO appear personally
before the feminine finger print
board and have their Impressions"
made.
Then a dainty little lady takes a
big, healthy sailor boy by the hand.
while the sailor bushes. smears his
hand all over with Ink and makes 1t
lock terribly nasty and then makes
the Impressions all over perfectly
neat cards. II seems a shame to spoil
the cards. but Mr.. Daniels wants the
