Government Appeal.
AT the conference the following
message was read from Mrs. Belle
Armstrong Whitney of New York
president of the Whitney Fashion
corporation:
Z Clothing and what American
women do or do not do about it is
one of the nations problems today.
The gvernment says that we must
spend less because it needs to Dor
row lot of our money and also we
want to give lot of money to
those who need it more than we.
If we spend less for clothing we
must buy better so that it may last
longer. We can easily give up fool
ish, fleeing, conspicuous styles and
gain in good taste in dress as we'll
as economy. We can buy only what
is suitable for each one of US to
wear, where we go, according to
what we have to do there. That
will help to launch the right fash
ions not only for thinking club
women, but for those less fortunate
ones who do not think so clearly.
eff the General Federation of
Women's Clubs would here and
now go on record before the coun-
try as one hundred per cent behind
every effort to make clothing artis-
tically better in line and color,
simpler, more practical. less time
consuming, economically saner and
sounder, there are thousands of en-
ployers and hundreds of thousands
of wage earners ready to cry,
Thank you and God bless you,"
and by the same token every mem
Der of the federation would have
lessened her own clothes problems

so simple! Ask the clothing max
ers to give you fewer new styles,
make them simple in design and of
as good materials as can be had.
Use as little material as is consis-

comfort; employ good workman

having lessened the makers losses
incurred when you insist upon nom
sensical novelties every few weeks

told to report for duty at the city
hall the next morning at 7:3O
o'clock. She was there at the dot
and with the visiting nurse drove
north on Twenty-fourth street into
the poor negro settlement. Their
errand of mercy took them into the
home >of a negro family where the
mother and six children were pros
trate with the "fu."
The woman in question remained
there all day, bathing the little pick
aninnieS cooking, sweeping. clean
ing and doing everything in her
power to make them comfortable.
When she mentioned to her fam
lily where she had been on duty all
day, it was only to tell them the
humor of the day.
While bathing one of the young
sters he asked:

$4,000 NURSES JOIN
RED CROSS SERVICE
More Than 5000 Serving Over
seas-Another 10000 Needed
for Army by January l

In a report just issued the American
Red Cross war council announces that
10000 nurses have been enrolled by the
department of nursing of the Red Cross
to October I. More than 1000 of these
are serving soldiers and sailors, half of
this number already being on duty over
seas. About $4,000 of those in service
with our forces here and abroad are
with the army. Seven hundred nurses,
women. have been assigned to tho Fed
eral Public Health Bureau or to the Red
Cross service in tho United States and
the remaining 10000 include those not
available or eligible for active service,
but who may be utilized for home de-
fense work
About 5000 additional nurses will be
needed by the army alone before the
first of the year. according to tho re-
port. Should the war continue on It's
present scale. it is estimated that the
total number of nurses required in the
next July will be. $4,000. These esti-
mates. the report states. are based on
an army of 100000 and e navy of
$50, 900. or approximately one nurse to
each seventy-four of the military and
naval population.
The Red Cross has spent about $780,
600 in equpping nurses assigned to duty
abroad. Approximately S1,500,o00 of an
appropriation of s1,719,357 has been
| expended in equipping base hospital
| units. The organization has equipped
| fifty of these units and assisted tho army
nurse corps in organizing two others for
tho army since our entrance into the
war.
! For tho navy It has organized or is
completing the organization of eight base
hospital and seventeen naval station hos
pital units. Each base hospital unit has
| 500 beds and sixty nurses. Originally
planned to cost about sS5.000. they now
cost about $4,000. In addition to its
war service the Red Cross department,
of nursing is continuing it's regua,
health work in this country. 1t is sup.
plying nurses at points where contagious
diseases appear to be making headway
