a rare singleness of purpose and de-
votion to duty has given herself to this
work for humanity, and her wonderful
executive ability have made her most
valuable leader.
felt, in that Mrs Sweeney has been
forced to resign, owing to ill-health.
Mrs. Kennedy has been at the head of
the womanS department of the Red
Cross since the inauguration of the
work here and Mrs. Sweeney has
served with her almost continuously
since that time.
AS head of the surgical dressing di-
vision of the Red Cross, Mrs. Sweeney
gave her entire time to the work and
her splendid training and conservation
to the work made her invaluable. A
recent operation has made it impos-
sible for her to continue the work, ana
her resignation was therefore neceS-
sary.
Well Trained Leaders.
The Pensacola chapter is fortunate
in having two women trained In the
work to succeed the two retiring Of
ficers. Both Mrs. Pasco and Mrs. Fer
ris have been closely associated with
the Red Cross work since its inception
here, and are fully qualified for their
duties. Miss Hargis, who was elected
to succeed Mrs. Ferriss, on her as
tendency to the office of vice chair
man. has also given much time to the
duties of the woman's division.

A CHANGED WORD

he word chinook" whose birth
place is Oregon, has made its way
slowly as far east as the Missouri
river, as witness the following Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Omaha
under date of January 23:
"A warm spring wind is blowing
across the plains country and the
snow is everywhere disappearing
under the bright sun. AS the chi
nook reaches further eastward
warmer weather in that direction is
developing"
This word has lost its original
meaning. Early Oregon pioneers APP
piled the name to the northwesterly
wind that prevails from June to Sep
tember, and makes the summer eli
mate west OF the Cascade mountains
the most delightful in the world.
The wind, or rather the gentle
breeze, blows up the Columbia river
every afternoon and tempers the
suns heat. The Chinook Indians
dwelt on the Oregon (now Washing
toni coast, north Of the Columbia's
mouth, and 1t was but natural that
the white settlers should name the
wind for the tribe from whose habi-
tation it come. Always it is cool
wind.
