Money has been raised by plays and entertainments of various kinds given by children by the making of various ar ticles for sale, such as knitting needles. Christmas and souvenir cards, etc. The children were urged to earn CT save the money for their membership
 In many instances they raised it by personal sacrifice or work Some culti- vated Red Cross gardens or helped with home tasks to earn the money.
 The school authorities and the chapter school committee consider the Junior Red Cross one of the most helpful agen- cies in teaching the principle of good citizenship, and of developing the spirit of patriotism in the hearts of the chil dren. The spirit of helpfulness, of gen. erosity, of self-sacrifice, has prevailed as never before. The interest and en- thusiasm of the children is beautiful The teachers too are to be commended for their efficient and willing co-opera- tion. Their zeal and untiring efforts in behalf of the work was a very material factor in it's success The work has been great pleasure and inspiration to me. Respectfully submitted,

It is not wholly accurate nor com- plete owing to the difficulty in getting final reports from the chairmen.

There are still $500 socks to be knitted by December IA. Any knitter can knit a pair of socks in a week. Many can knit pair in four days. If every knitter ira Jefferson county will take two pairs and those who knit rapidly, will take three, the number will be made by December 14 and the members can still have plen- ty of time to attend to their Christmas shopping.
 The Gulf division extended the time for the November allotment, because of the influenza epidemic. It would then be a disgrace if the chapter failed to finish the allotment on time.
 The Red Cross will not have to work much longer at this pace, so the mem- bers are begged not to lose interest at the last minute.

Like Mr. Dooley, Dolly Admits That Shell Believe Anything If You Tell It to Her Often Enough,
 And This Being the Case She Couldn't Doubt
 Madame Eva Fay's Power Even If She Would
Nv DOLLY DALRYMPLE

1T IKE Mir. Dooley, Dolly admits that
 she'll believe anything if you tell
 eS it to her often enough; now there's
 the case of Madame Eva Fay, the mys-
 terious seeress mind reader, clairvoyant,
 what you will, round at the Lyric, who
 casually peers into the future and tells
 you without fail whether your spring
 hats going to be trimmed with gardenias
 or with vivid rose colored geraniums.
 Yesterday afternoon I sat in an ob-
 scure little corner of the Lyric and heard
 Madame Fay answer question after ques- tion. from the tremendous number Of
 auditors present at her premier matinee.
 There was much sameness about the questions asked; most of the women were concerned with love affairs; wheth-
 CT their husbands were true to them and when they'd have new affinity, while the men were mostly absorbed with
 matters of business, which very well proves the subjects the sexes regard as of paramount importance.
 Find Mrs H-a-r-r-i-s,' Madame Fay
 lntoned in bright, quick. clear-as-a-beli voice, with lots of 'pep" and "go." T keep getting her name; answer, please Mrs. Harris"
 l For a moment there was silence and the nice young man who assists Madame Fay held his hand up asking Mrs. liar ris if she was present please to speak up so Madame Fay could hear her. It looked for moment as if the de- sired Mrs Harris, like the noted one who was so useful to "Sairy Camp" of Dickens fame, would never appear, but she did and Madame Fay said: "You want to know something about your brother, Mrs. Harris. Am I right?" Mrs. Harris said she was. Your brother is in France; isn't he?" Mrs. Harris said he was. Don't worry about him." ad- vised the clever mind reader Hell get back all right"
 q hear Lillie calling," Madame Fay continued quick as lightning. "Lillie is in the balcony; first row; she's wearing blue blouse; aren't you, Lillie?" Lil- lie said that was the color of her blouse "Yes Lillie, your soldier beau will be here Saturday; don't worry. he'll be here"
 Flows that, Frances?" Madame Fay questioned. You want to know if any body had any right to criticize you for going out walking with that young sol dier last Sunday afternoon? Was there anything wrong in walking with him up on the mountain? Certainly not Off you keep on walking)."
 "B-e-t-t-y," said Madame Fay, catching this name You want to know if you are going to land him? Certainly; and his name is Crawford. Crawford R. He doesn't look like much, but he'll wear we'll"
 "Elizabeth Perry" Madame Fay called out You are worried about some pa pers, no they are not lost; you have sim ply mislaid them; they are in a desk with some checks, blanks, etc. Don't worry, you'll find them.''

LETTER FROM MRS. MOBERLY

 My Dear Mrs. London:
 Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been narrowed by war, and how we best can serve the millions of our boys that are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded, and owing to the great shortage of shipping, it may take year or more to bring our boys home from France and it is now being revealed to us a picture of misery such as the world has never seen be- fore, especially in our allied countries The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing all these broken spir- it's and broken bodies, and by this great act of mercy, the heart and spirit of the American people must continue to be mobilized through our wonderful Red Cross.
 We cannot stop one instant in our eff forts. There will be abundance of work to do, and there is an abundance of work to do, and our services will prob- ably be enlisted for another year or two.
 You have all been very close to me in this great work, and I am justly proud of the results of the chapter pro- duction work of the last year, in our chapters here in the division. All the women have done their bit" all have made sacrifices, and now we must plan to continue this great work. The sur gical dressings are to be discontinued, all except a small monthly order for the army, which We are placing in a few of our large chapters. The allotment of hospital garments will probably be doubled, and the allotment of knitted articles will be doubled, and the allot- ment of refugee garments will be tripled. I wish to thank you for your wonder full cooperation with me in this work, and request that you extend to all the workers in your surgical dressings, knit ted articles, hospital garments and refu- gee clothing departments, my apprecia- ton of their untiring efforts, and ex- cellent work of the past year. Thanking you again for the wonder full cooperation that we have had up to date from the womans department in your chapter, I am very truly yours, CATHERINE H. MOBERLY, Director Department of Development.
