NEW FACES FOR OLD.

The American Red Cross has under
taken varied tasks. These range from
darning the socks of the soldiers to
making new faces for those disfigured
by war. Mrs. Ladd, the wife Of DR..
Ladd, now doing service in Red Cross
hospitals abroad, Is working in her
Paris studio making masks to cover
disf1gured faces. A photograph Of the
soldier showing how he looked before
being wounded is obtained and then q
mask of copper or silver is made to re-
semble 1t and replace the part that is
gone. This is made us lifelike as pos
sible and held on, as u rule, with bows
behind the ears like spectacles. The
soldier cannot eat or sleep in these
masks, but he can see and breathe
through them. Sometimes a nose is
put on so lifelike that 1t cannot be de-
tected, and sometimes 1t Is q chin or in
rare instances almost the entire face.
This great humanitarian work enables
the victim to mingle with people with
out being made conspicuous or con-
scious that he is being avoided.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago. One was story OF
bravery that brought the tears, and
one a tale of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was of a soldier who
asked for a light. He was in bed, and
a cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Ouit that" he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so there !"
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story OF a
big. husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that 1t was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said.
sheepishly, "You sure must excuse me,
ma'am, but this here book done make
me blamed homesick. I'm 'shamed to
make a baby outen mahsef, but this
makes me think o home"

MAKE SOLDIER FEEL He
IS AS GOOD AS EVER

Men disabled in the service who are
returning from the front and who find
1t hard at first to see their way to-
ward earning a livelihood are a spec
cial problem for the Red Cross. Un-
der the Smith-Sears law fund is ap-
propriated to re-educate every dis
abled man who will take the opportu-
nifty to make a living. 1t Is felt that
such men are likely to be weakened
in their resolution to keep their self
respect and find real work by the mis-
taken charity Of hero worshippers. who
will forget them once the first flush of
war enthusiasm is over. Here the sup
port of the disabled mans family must
be enlisted, for in the last analysis it
is the mans family who will be the de-
termining influence in his rehabilita-
ton. The relatives must be braced to
meet the situatiOn-to make of them
selves for the man bulwark against
encouragement and weakness.

The SCHOOLS
AFTFR THE war
Continued from Page One)

training should be given not to the
chosen few, but to all the boys in
school. Give the boy the training that
will enable him to meet the demands
that the future might make on him
His musket may become obsolete and
his bayonet antiquated by the time he
is called into action. But a perfect
physique and mind trained to execute
orders promptly and properly will al
ways be of value. So by proper alter
ations this war product may with prof
it be utilized in times of peace.
Then we have the Red Cross work.
War times have simply shown the
splendid possibilities of the organiza-
tion in the schools. In spite of all that
we might expect of the "new democra.
cy' to follow this war, we are bound
to presume that calamities, disasters,
want and poverty will still demand
our attention and enlist our efforts. So
the lessons learned in caring for the
unfortunates of war will be of value
to us in ministering to the needy in
times of peace. The schools can con
tinue their organizations to do this
work, and do it in such way as to
derive from it educational benefits.
But probably the best single by
product of the war is the war garden.
The work accomplished in this line is
worthy of the highest praise. 1t has
educational economic and moral values
when under proper supervision and in
connection with theoretical courses il
the schools, is a high class educative
process. The product, either sold or
consumed, represents good hard money.
And laboring at a productive employ
ment instead of loafing is beyond
doubt uplifting. But the war garden
has created an interest in production
that before the war nothing could utim
ulate. Students of agricultural prob
lens assured us many years ago that
unless our attitude toward food pro
duction changed, and unless production
was increased, we should shortly be
facing famine. The continually rising
prices told the same tale, yet we paid
no heed. But when world starvation
faced us we took notice and the result
was the war garden. All that the wal
gardens have furnished we will neet
in future years as well as we have il
the past. But its main product will b;
the gardeners it develops. A few
years continuation of the war gardeI
will develop boys and girls keen o,
agricultural subjects, ready to learl
scientific farming and consequently
better and more prosperous class o
farmers for the future. This is on
institution developed by the war tina
is worthy of continuation.
With the opening of school, the wa
! program will have to be reviewed an
revised and altered to meet the ne,
conditions.

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

So many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section Of
the Red Cross that few words as to
its objects may not come amiss. Tho
Home Service Section aims to serve
the folks at home, to bring them
nearer to the man in the field, and to
bring him nearer to the ones at home
Sometimes 1t means helping to
straighten out financial tangle. some
times help in the training Of the chill
dren, sometimes being a big brother to
a young lad who needs bit Of friend
ly counsel, or advising young wife
who may be worried about the coming
due Of the mortgage and what her
rights under the law may be-
Then, too, there are sometimes de-
lays in the mails or lost letters, and
sometimes delays in the allotment, or
errors in the amount which should be
Forthcoming. These problems and
many others are being Strengthened
out by the Home Service Section, with
out charge to the families, and with
an efficiency which is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered.
For those who are worried because
Of the non arrival of letters a cable is
sent inquiring about the mans vel
fare.
In fact the Home Service Section is
living up to Its name-it Is really the
service Of those at home-it Is trying
to be the father. brother or husband

the RED CROSS
IS REAL SERVICE
By FRANK MORRISON,
Secretary American Federation Of
Labor,

Labor.
The work of the Red Cross is not
confined to our boys on battlefield or
in hospital nor amidst the ruins of Bel
gium and other portions of devastated
Europe. One of its great activities is
any necessary aid to the dependents of
members Of Americas military forces
On the battlefield the Red Cross pre-
sents an heroic figure. In America,
removed from destruction and death,
the Red Cross steps silently to the
side of the father and mother whose
boy is lover there" and who need coun-
sci and aid.
No service is too small for tho Red
Cross. II allotments from the govern
ment or from their son are delayed or
Information on the governments war risk
insurance is wanted, the Red Cross Is
both counsellor and friend 1t enters into
the home in the true spirit of charity
secrecy.
But first and foremost our soldiers in
field and hospital must be given the most
attentive care possible Nothing we can
do will equal their share in this move
ment for world democracy. and the Red
Cross presents an opportunity for us to
play our part in this great drama by
contributing to the extent of our ability.
Tho Red Cross appeals to organized
workers because of it's ono quality

Behind Red Cross service is an On

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The nncients Of Peru, by curious
cofncidence-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with,
their contemporaries In India and
Egypt-seem to have used much, the
same kind of processes In printing.
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have.
told us about the cloths of vegetable.
fiber made by the ancients; but In all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were OF even u more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-.
sists in the patterns now being en-.
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed Mt one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
Is not affixed by merely printing 1t on
the material, but is secured by means
OF substance known as mordant, 80
did the Peruvians make use of prop
'erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand test of thousands
OF years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
meal and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.
