WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

30 many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section OF
the Red Cross that a few words as to
Its objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims to serve
the folks Mt home, to bring them
nearer to the man In the field, and to
bring him carer to the ones at home,

times help in the training of the chill.

ly counsel. or advising a 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 well
fare.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago. One was IA story OF
bravery that brought the tears. andS
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 a 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.
"Quit that" he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before l lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so there"
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story of q
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 c me,
ma'am, but this here book done make
me blamed homesick. I'm 'shamed to
make a baby outen mahse'f, but this
makes me think O. home"

Aerial

Many difficulties had to ne ever
tome in the production of a su;!sfac-
tory compass for aerial work. chief
among these was that of neutraliying
the magnetism of the engine (and In
particular the magn"to), and Of pre-
venting the effect Of centrifugal force.

the compass to swing in a direction

Or. Chassaigne of the French Mill

in recent addresses paid warm tribute
to the work of the American Red Cross
