Red Cross Notes

The Fortnightly Club have de-
cided that they will go every af-
tcrnoon to the headquarters and
help in the surgical dressings.
Quite a number of the members
met there Monday afternoon, and
made great many congresses
and wipes.
The O. e. S. members were
quite in evidence at headquarters
Tuesday afternoon, that being
their day to work there, tho, some
of the members go every day.
Mrs. M. A. Meadow, who was
appointed to canvass Charlotte
Harbor for Red Cross members,
secured ten from over there with
promise of more.
Miss Phinney, with some expe-
rienced helpers, went to Fort Og-
den Wednesday, and organized a
surgical dressing class. She re-
ports they are quite enthusiastic,
too.
We have over a thousand COM
presses and over 800 wipes to
ship this week. We feel very
much encouraged with our work.
Miss Phinney would like for some
of the other organizations to take

Government Sea- Plane Here

The United States sea-plane No.
I339 left Key West at 1880 yester-
day morning and arrived here just
three hours later. The distance
travelled was $50 miles, though the
direct route is 100 miles. Delay
was caused by the plane having to
make one stop near Naples and
the fact that the lieutenant in
charge had no chart and, in conse-
quence, had to hunt for Punta
Gorda. Hundreds of people rush
cd to the docks here to see the
strange craft. 1t is bi-plane and
is equipped only for coast guard
ervice.
The 339 came here in charge of
Lieut.. S. V. Parker, who is in COM
mand of the aero station at Key
West. He was accompanied only
by his mechanician. The object
of his coming was to inspect this
harbor with view to locating a
hydro-plane station here. On ar
irving, he was taken in charge by
a committee Of citizens and shown
the various advantages which this
location offers. Every attention
was shown him.
At s O'Clock this morning, ne
started on his return to Key West.
Of course. he went in his Sea-plane.

LITTLE VALERIE EXPLAINS
Camoufage and QUESTIONABLE
With Some Introductory
Remarks

Dear Editor Herald Il hope
your wife may not leave you be-
cause | address you in this endear-
ing manner; and, perhaps, it
would be well to have it under
stood right now that | have no de-
signs on you whatever, although /
do think you are the most diStin-
guished looking man in this city,
and ! do not know young man a.
mong all my acquaintance who is
as polite and gentlemanly as you
are to the ladies. And | notice,
too, that every good-looking girl
who boards a train at the depot
gets her name in your paper all
right. Which is as it should be,
no doubt. But if | keep on in this
strain | will forget to say what |
desire to.
| was very proud, dear Editor,
to see that my former feeble at
tempt was copied into other pa
pers, and so | thought / would
stay at home tonight and write
you another. May be, some day,
| shall be able to earn money by
writing. While in Tampa last
summer visiting my grandmother,
| heard Mr.. Peter o. knight, fine
lawyer, tell some people that he
always tried to find time to read
the articles in a Florida agricul-
tural journal which were written
by a Punta Gorda lady; and |
know Of a man here who gets ten
cents a word for everything he
writes for the big comic and satir-
ical papers, and he don't seem to
work very hard at it either. You
know, dear Editor, how fast wo-
man or girl can talk, and | believe
that, with a little practice, can
write quite as fast as | can talk,
and just think how much | can
earn in day!
Of course everybody knows
what questionable" and "cam-
outage" mean, but it may not
come amiss to say that Question
naire" has come into our language
only recently from the French and
is, as it indicates, a set of ques-
tons, queries, or inquiries, asked
of one under examination. One is
sent, to every man under draft and
each recipient must go before a
notary and answer all the ques-
tons under oath, and then make
affidavit before an officer as to its
truth.
"Camouhage" means to dis
guise something so that it looks
like something else, and it seems
that; every one of us camoufage
more or less. For instance, the
young man with a roll of money
will have a twenty on the outside
of the ones, and a girl will have
her stocking intact from the top of
her shoe up, but her big toe will
stick through a hole that hurts
when she walks. | must stop now.
Your helpful little friend,

At a meeting of the city council

west to Nineteenth street and thence
south to Florida avenue, occupied the
