similar institution has been authorized
in Lucca, to serve as q centre for
various activities.
At Pistoia a workroom gives en-
ployment to twenty women who pro-
duce 1000 articles each month.
On July 1 the department opened a
school for $50 children at Fiesole.
These children, like the others in
American Red Cross institutions, are
fully provided with clothing and all

were made in the Florence workrooms
and each bears the initials "A. r. Co.
and a little cross embroidered in red.
At Pietrasanta, in the marble dis
trict north of Florence, a kitchen is
about to open to serve 500 rations
daily.
Two summer colonies for children

Florence, (By Mail.)-One of the
busiest centres of American Red
Cross activity in Italy is it's Florence
district. In the city itself and it's
surrounding area, which were once
swamped by the refugee flood, every
war activity is now completely or
ganized and each one is rapidly in
creasing in scope.
In the Florentine district there are
n. \. y.
exclusive of the Venetian village at
Pisa. Nine of these are in the city of
Florence. Three workrooms here
afford employment for 500 women,
who produced in June 20, PTS gar
ments, chiefly for children. These gar
ments clothe not only the children in
the American Red Cross institutions
in this district but supply other dis
tricts where no workrooms exist. An
emergency order of 800 girls dresses,
800 boys suits and 1000 hats for
children in the summer camps in
Sardinia was filled by these work.
rooms in June in addition to the regu-
lar demands made on them.
The Department of individual Re-
lief in Florence employs twenty three
persons to investigate applications for
assistance. During June 2,408 appli-
cations were investigated, 1,704 of
which were granted and 704 rejected.
This department distributed during
the month $500 articles of clothing,
SIT articles of footwear and LISP
articles of bedding.
Two kitchens are supported in
Florence, the first entirely by the
American Red Cross, the second,
known as the Ttalian-American
kitchen, in cooperation with an
Italian committee. They have n capa-
city of 5000 rations daily, for which
tickets are sold at fifteen centisimi
each or are distributed free to special
cases and on special occasions.
The three health centres at Florence
called Mothers Aid Stations, are de-
signed not only to give special atten-
ton to under nourished, delicate chill
l.
menstrate and teach the care and
feeding of children. District nurses
follow up the cases in the homes,
distribute the milk and other food
stuffs advised by the attending DOCTOR
and continue the instruction begun at
the centre. An average of 312 mothers
and babies arc cared for daily at
