An effort is being made to have
the sanitary sewer pipes 60

bound 4 by Main, st. Peters, Ibe,

would save, for one thing, the cut

the laying of each individual sewer

four sides Of that block. The
idea has the further commenda.

such changes and alterations as

ten about Red Cross work:
Mrs. So And SO and You.
III am not doing any Red Cross
work now, don't like Mrs. So
and.SO who ia the chairman of
Such and Such. We have all
heard that several times unfor
tunately. Suppose you heard a
Lieutenant say, al don't like
Captain Smith, and l tell you
right now this is the last day /
am going to stay in his Company,
| am tired of the War anyway, |
am going to get out" Where
should we be with that spirit in
the Army. Where are we with
that spirit prevailing even at in
tervals in the Red CROSSE For
| tunately the Red Cross is 80 big
and so splendid that we have not
materially hurt it yet by such an
attitude. The spirit OF the Red
Gross in the indignation OF all that
ia finest in the American people
a thing to be proud of; more than
that, a thing to reverence. And
because this Is true, let US not de
stroy any of its beauty or iineness
by pettiness. Mrs. SO and So does
net represent all of the Red Cross
your loyalty is to thing, an ideal
of service, not to one person wht
may not have managed to sui
you. All of your Amerlcanism-
so much better a word than patri
otism-is due the Red Gross
We need just that bignsss of per
ception which will make US over
