Have You Given
Your six Cents" e?

The most touching incident of one
mornings travels occurred at the very
end of the journey. A Home Service
motor was standing in front of
house in street that was swarning with
children. The car was the centre of ir
terest. and the driver was questioned a.
great length as to her errand in The
neighborhood. 1t was learned that she
had brought Red Cross worker who
had come to get a soldiers wife ami her
sick baby living near by. and take them
INTO the country where the BABY could
get well. 1t was explained to the
children that to look after the families
Of soldiers was one Of the chief duties Of
the Red Cross. This explanation seemed
to satisfy the children, and they with
drew TO the sidewalk TO talk it over
There followed a good deal Of running
about and much whispered conversation
which the motor girl could not under
stand. Then The Red Cross worker
came up the street carrying the baby.
followed by the mother laden with
bundles A boy with very dirty face
and ragged trousers stepped forward and
pressed something into the visitors free
hand. saying as ne did SO:
Here. miss, we kids wanter give Yer
this fer the Red Cross. Ye kin buy some
thing fer the soldiers baby with it."
Tie Red Cross .gorker opened her
hand and beheld six very sticky pennies,
the result of collection which the little
ragamuffin had taken up among his play
mates.

home fires burning It's a great work,

needed. Where arc your "six cen.s'e

The Home Service is extremely reti-
cent about the disagreeabe or difficult
situations it is called upon to handle.
There are complications in the case of
illegitmate children, of men who nave
deserted from the camps and others who
are posing as bachelors to avoid making
the allotment due the wife and children,
all of which have to be adjusted by the
Home Service Section.
Although the work for the most part
is with the families Of the privates, often
the wives and families Of officers whose
checks are delayed also appeal for help
The families of our allies, too, are en-
titled to the same helpful service
