CARING FOR THOSE WHO
ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she
lived in rather an undesirable neigh
bOrhood and was on the streets all
day a school teacher recently brought
to the attention Of the Home Service
department of the Red Cross the story
of girl of ten years whose mother
was i'll and whose only other rela-
tives were two. brothers, one in camp
and the other youth of seventeen,
whose earnings seemed to be the
only means of support for the family
The Home Service worker called
found the mother very i'll and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care
and also for a home for the girl in
the country where she would receive
real home training and love. The
mother grew worse and died soon af
forwards. The seventeenye ar-old
boy enlisted The boy in camp had
not known that his mother needed his
help, but was glad to contribute from
his pay when the true circumstances
were made known The girl is now
in the country, going to school, and is
receiving allotments from both of her
brothers and is well cared for. She
is under the watchful care of the
Home Service workers and comes to
them often for COUNSEL.

IMMENSE WORK
AHEAD FOR women

Mr. Henry P. Dawson, chairman OF
the War Council of the Red Cross, has
said that if the government should
offer him a check for s500,000, 100000
or a check for only 100000, 10000
and the work of the women of the
country, he would not even look at
the larger check! He knew what he
was saying, too, as the magnificent re-
Spouse of the women of America has
shown Never before did woman
shine as now; never before did she
so show that but for her aid the worst
would have occurred. And the end is
not yet.
Tie calls are endless. Refugees
have no underclothes. no stockings,
little to protect themselves against
the coming winter winds. The women
of America are going to furnish these
clothes, these stockings, are going to
see to it that no French, no Belgian,
no Italian child, or mother, shivers
into a bitter grave before next spring.
The Surgeon General of the Unit
ed States is asking for thousands of
sweaters, for hundreds of thousands
of socks. and for hundreds of thous-
ands of articles of all kinds Eng
fish calls ring over the water-and the
American women remember what the
English feet did for us-they do not
forget! French women, whose souls
are bowed with grief, are listening for
those sweetest of all sounds, the click
| of needles that mean warmth, and the
shipping of scissors that mean
clothes for the children.
No babies in the history of the
| world have been better guarded than
| the American. Now all the skill, all
| the tenderness, all the love Of Amer
lean mothers finds limitless oppor-
tunities to help babies who but for
them would have nothing at ALL
New England aiene has three mil
lion dollars worth Of material wait

PEOPLE RUSHING
TO BUY COMFORTS
Building Operations Take Sudden Start
in Many Localities-Government
Officials Point to Fact That at Least
Eight Billions Must be Raised.

WASHINGTON. Dee 4.-Reaction from
war time economy is apparent in reports
to various government agencies since the
signing of the armistice, War savings
committees in all parts of the country
have submitted statements tending to
show that persons who abstained from
buying unnecessary clothes during the war
have rushed to shops within the past week
or two and bought according to pre-war
standards
Retail businesses report stimulation Of
business by peace news. In some cases,
the response was immediate, business show
ing big jump within day or two after
Nov. H. This reaction seems most marked
among the Weather classes.
Reports gathered by the federal reserve
board also shows activity among whole
sale houses to meet the demand OF retail
ers. The wholesale business, however, is
somewhat restricted by the desire of re-
tail merchants to let their stocks run
low, while waiting for prices to come
down Thousands of retailers quickly ar
ranged special sales OF their stocks at low
ef prices, in view of the uncertainties of
the future course OF prices
Building operations have taken a sudden
start after the long enforced period OF
sluggishness during the war, and building
materials are beginning to flow away from
former war enterprises, toward peace time
building projects Private building seems
to be holding back, however Municipal
tiles and state have turned their thoughts
to building roads and bridges, held W
during the war by shortage Of materials
and within the next month officials here
look for multitude of advertisements foI
bids for these projects
At least eight billions OF dollars must
be raised in the United States next veal
from war bonds or war savings Officials
argue that floating OF these loans without
corresponding saving in money and mate
rails merely serves to initiate credit, anC
the practical result Of this initiation is
general rise in prices
The treasury now Is seeking to develor
means Of continuing thrift propaganda
throughout the next few years. to educat,
the public to the duty of paying off in
debtedness before relaxing war time econ
omy. In fact, students OF economy in tn,

people learn lessons OF thrift which popu
lations Of England, France, Germany an,
other warning nations have learned dur

Treasury agencies studying banks con
offices in industrial communities, particr
larry where war materials were manu-
featured, find that savings and checking
accounts maintained by workmen do no
have balances proportionate to their ad
vlnces IN wages during the war.

NEW SUGAR SALE
RULE EFFECTIVE
HERE ON MONDAY

Beginning Monday morning retail
dealers in Rock Island will be re-
quired to make a record of every
sale of sugar. Domestic consum-
ers are the only ones who will be
permitted to buy sugar without a
certificate. under the strict regula-
tons that will be enforced by the
food administration beginning
July 1.
Retailers will be required as
far as possible, TO limit their sales
TO three pounds monthly for each
person in a family" said Robert
Stevenson, Jr., acting food admin
istrator for the state, yesterday
Everyone must realize that three
pounds is the maximum. What we
are after is to see how much less
than this consumption can be re
duced.
From time to time the records
kept by the retailers will be checked
for evidences of boarding, and any
such cases that are discovered
will be severely dealt with. Re
tailers must be careful not to take
advantage of this situation by re-
fusing their regular customers
sugar when it is available, or re
quiring combination sales.
Under the new regulations all
manufacturers, jobbers, retailers,
bakers, public eating places, in
Guiding hotels, restaurants, board
ing houses, clubs, dining cars,
boats, city, country or federal in
situations, hospitals, private can
teens, and internment camps, viii
be permitted to purchase sugar
only when they present certificates
which will be furnished them by the
United States food administration.
There are fully $4,000 places in
Illinois where such certificates Will
have to be provided. The rules re-
garding boarding houses and other
