LEAVES KNOWING
RED CROSS WILL
PROTECT FAMILY

Every man who leaves Rock Is
land for service is today assured
that his family will be maintained
in peace and comfort while he is
away from them; this promise is
made by the home service SECTION of
the local chapter of the American
Red Cross.
The home service section sends a
letter to every drafted man telling
of the duties it will perform; the
giving of information in regard to
allowances and alIotments, letters,
addresses, and so on. Lawyers in
the home service section will aid in
legal difficulties which may con-
front the families. The home ser
vice section can trace DELAYED all
lotments, and can settle a hundred
and one problems. Best of all, il
is eager to do these things-to give
the advice and the practical help
which real friends might offer.
This duty of keeping the soldiers
and sailors families happy and con-
tent has been delegated to the Red
Cross by no less authority than that
L.
Every camp has its Red Cross home
service agent who will talk to the
soldier about his home problems
every chapter has organized or is
organizing a group of doctors and
lawyers, business men and minis
tiers, and sympathetic, intelligent
women to render every possible
service to the families left behind.
Rock Island has had its home SER
vice section organized for some
time. An office is established in the
State bank building; many families
can already testify to the service
the Red Cross is thus rendering.
The home service office is open ev-
cry day from o'clock until 4;3O.
with the exception OF Saturday; and
home service people are there
ready to do all they can to compen-
safe for the absence of IA father.
husband, son or brother.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Would anybody who had seen 465
miles OF motion picture film since
last January be called a motion pic
ture IAN? If so, Nj S. Edith Foster
will soon be able to lay claim TO
such a title. Mrs. Foster censors
every foot Of film shown to orr sol
diers in the United States camps
abroad and at home.
Although thousands Of feet OF
film pass through her office daily,
Mrs Foster tries to look at the last
rec! with as much enthusiasm and
interest as the boys "over there"
would feel if they were seeing il
In fact she looks at all of them
with that same enthusiasm and in
terest She admits it is difficult for
a woman to get the same viewpoint
as the soldier and sailor have when
viewing a slap-stick comedy, but
she tries to imagine herself in their
circumstances and that helps
some"
About fifteen miles of film are
shipped each week to the war ZOr .
for the entertainment of our over
seas troops This amusement on
CellulOid is sent over by the Y. NJ.

number of Y. NJ c. A huts, and
motion pictures are a great feature
Of every hut. These pictures are
shown almost up to the very front
lines and explosions often play the
accompaniment instead of an or

Mrs. Foster feels that she is per-
sOnally responsible for every film

that the morals of the boys will
never be undermined by these Y. NJ.
