other places Of public gatherings have
been closed in almost every city of
any size in the south.

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

So great Is the faith of the American
Red Cross In the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number of people in their ju-
ristlictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
rles. and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents year The chief
aim in enrolling is not to raise money
but TO increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year. but priv
ilege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tributing Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
$4,000 or Patron at $4,000

(when special tribute will be paid to
the contribution made by the laboring
mani, the week ending with general
"Clean-up" LAY, when every person In
the community not yet enrolled VIII
again be personally solicited for men,
bership.
1t Is believed that some time during
the week at least one performance OF
the masque, 1.-THE Roll Call" especial
ly written by Mr. Percy Mackaye, with
stage settings designed by Robert Ed
mond Jones, will be given in every
community. This has but twelve
speaking parts and is arranged espe-
cially for community presentation,
with men, women and children in the
pantomime parts 1t can be given
either deliberately or very simply, as
conditions warrant. In its dramatic
theme 1t expresses the emancipation
of the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency Of the
American Red Cross. Copies Of the
masque, as well as directions for cos
tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters In
every town and city.
One of the most novel and interest
ing features Of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One-Hour plan
of enrolment This consists Of diyid-
ing the community into units Of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
sufficient workers to canvass these
homes practically simultaneously, q
sort of 'hOme stretch" distributing
the work among many with mini
mum of time consumed by each.
The official uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be a cap and arm
brassard. These are to be made Of
red flannel and small paper circle In
white will carry the Red Cross en-
blem This uniform will serve both as
protection against the INSCRIPTIONS and
as an aid to the workers themselves.
Corporations, business firms and In
dustries will be supplied with a 1907
Service flag.
There will be no Christmas sale of
tuberculosis seals this year. Instead,
the Red Cross has made direct APP
preparation Of $2,500000 for this work,
and ten seals will be awarded each
person who joins the Roll Call as a
reminder of the very important work
being done by the National Tubercu-
losis Association.
Wars may come and wars may go,
but the Red Cross goes on forever.
Will you not be among the first to
place your name on the 1919 member
ship roll?

q your name written theref Wheref
On the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
of course
Beginning with Red Cross Sunday,
December Is, the entire American ma
ton will be given the opportunity dur
ing the week of December 16 to % to
line up for all those errands of mercy
that the bright Red Cross against
the white background has come to
symbolic.
This is In no sense call for funds.
1t is the annual call for service. Ev-
cry member of every household, from
the grandfather to the nursery, should
be represented on the Red Cross Serv-
ice Flag. Only dollar memberships
are being asked for, and these are for
the calendar year of 1919.
Everywhere throughout the four
teen Red Cross divisions the week will
be celebrated as a rededication to per-
sonal service and self sacrifice. No
matter what may be the immediate task
ahead, there are bound to be increas-
ing demands made on the Red Cross
during the coming year, and every
American, whether here or in foreign
parts, has his part to play.
Through the Divisions every Chap
ter, and through the Chapter every
Branch and Auxiliary will spread the
Red Cross Message and endeavor to
enroll every person In every COM
munity. Already the membership in
this national organization has grown
from some few hundred thousand in
1915 to more than twenty millions since
our own country entered the world
war. There are no limits set for the
1918 Christmas enrolment Every

Programs subject to local conditions
will be arranged for the week, based
on suggestions worked out by national
campaign managers at Headquarters
On Roll Call Sunday the Red Cross
message will be preached from every
pulpit, and all church meetings will
arrange special programs of Red Cross
activities.
With the cooperation of local art
lists, every community will be deco
rated with Red Cross posters. Pastors
will be used on all packages sent out
from the stores during Roll Call week,
and the movies will show films pictur-
ing the various Red Cross agencies at
home and abroad For All Human

battlefield. There will also be Wo-
