The following plan pursued by the
Red Cross chapter Of Moscow, Idaho,
cannot fail to be of suggestive inter
est to women workers. Quoting from a
Moscow paper:
''Seetion B men will soon be outfit
ted with uniforms. Shoes and ponchos
hate already been issued to the men
and the balance of the equipment will
be issued later in the week. Red Cross
sweaters were issued Friday and Sat-
urday. These were knit by the women
lof Caldwell chapter of the Red Cross
society and by the women Of the Sa-
lem (Oregon) chapter"

The only drawback in the business
of handling the Xmas cartons for the
Salem men overseas, which is now in
full swing at the Red Cross booth a.
the Portland Railway Light and Power
offices, seems to be in the delay ex-
perienced by the relatives in receiving
THEN labels from the soldiers in France
emitting them to their respective car
tons for the sending of Christmas
gifts abroad. So far an exchange of
cartons for labels has been made at
the booth to the number Of III, which
means at present there are that many
cartons in the process of being pack
ed throughout the city among the vari-
Gus friends and relatives of the Salem
men, all of which boxes must be turn
ed into headquarters by November 90.
Thirty five cartons have already been
packed and handed in to the commit
tee in charge of the shipment of Xmas
parcels.
