ARMY W|THART ICLES

The woman's division of the Pen
sacola chapter of the American Red
Cross has received an urgent call
from headquarters in Atlanta for sup
plies, to which the women of Pensa-
cola are asked to respond.
The Red Cross commissioner of
France has cabied that the hospitals
are in urgent need of 1.25o.000 bath
towels, $500 900 hand towels, 1.750,o00
handkerchiefs, $4,000 napkins.
The American Red Cross at Wash
ington is asking the chapters through
out the country to share in providing
these articles. through, plan known
as the Linen Shower" to be held the
week Of September so.
Each family in Pensacola will be
asked to contribute one article or set
of articles of household linen from
their reserve stock. In this way, with
out material reduction either of the
household stock or the sources of sup
uly, large quantities of useful arti-
cles can be scored for the Red Cross
work.
It must be remembered that the
Red Cross is asking for this in addt-
ton tow hat you are now giving, or
intend to give towards the support CT
the local chapter. This response to
the appeal in France must be met In
some way that will not depIete the
fund at home, and for this reason
headquarters in Washington are ask
ing that chapters in each city take
part in this campaign to raise the nee
essary linen.
NEW ARTICLES NEEDED.
The articles should be new or sub
stantially new, and should be Of
strong rather than fine texture. The
laundering facilities abroad are SO
poor, and this together with the hard
and constant usage to which the ar
ticles will be subjected, make 1t clear
that articles of sheer quality are not
wanted. All chapters in the United
States are being called upon to pro-
vide their share of these articles.

For years without number the
people of Dauphin county and its

patience as they could muster for
the time when their officials might
be gathered under one roof for the
efficient and satisfactory conduct of
the municipal and county business
one proposition after another look

fallen by the Wayside, only TO be
revived at more or less frequent in

happening. So long as the people
allow the present unsa tisfactory con-
ditions to continue nothing is likely
10 be done. but with the demand for
prompt action in all public under
takings from the President down,
we may expect something more con-
crete along this line.

he reaches the top that the official
he seeks is on another floor and
when he has climbed the stairs once
more he is advised that the official
is occupying quarters on the first

with the particular official whom he

But this is not all. Officials. whose
duties require them to consult each

time of the city or county in tramp |

Wounded Harrisburgers
Believed on Way Home

That many Harrisburg Yanks who
have been wounded in France and
are not in fit condition to fight, in
addition to a number of units not
included in the army of occupation,
have left their old locations in France
and are on their way back TO the
States, is evidenced by the number
of letters addressed TO Harrisburg
youths in the United States service,
that have been returned to the local
postoffice. During the past week a
number of them have been received
here after being sent to France. This
is regarded as evidence that many
Harrisburg wounded men and many
others have started or are about to
start on their homeward journey.
