while than anything the corps has

Glad to Help.
One night there was an urgent
call and no available man to go
with US on the ambulance. As we
drove into Alexandria we asked q
sailor how to reach the house where
our patient was awaiting us. The
sailor took Us to the house where
We found a very sick soldier. Then
he asked US where We were 60
ing. When he found that Fort
Myer was our destination he insist
ed upon accompanying us.
We protested that we did NOT
want him to give up his evenings
leave, but he said. It's always a
pleasure to help the ladies Of the
Motor Corps. I'm wearing one OF
your sweaters right now" And
so we had protection for our long
ride. This case is typical of the at
titude of officers and enlisted men
everywhere and in every branch of
the service. They are always ready
to be Of assistance and treat us
with the most perfect mixture of
good fellowship and Difference. The
uniform is not only a passport to
camp, but also to the confidence Of
every one of our fighting men.

Moss Required for Surgical Pads in
Demand.

Surgical pads are made out Of
Sphagnum moss, and the Red Cross
chapters in those communities where
bogs containing this woss are pisp-
tiful, have been conducting . vigorous
hunt for it
The Northwestern Division ras
asked by the Red Cross to supply half
a million surgical pads Of the new
type before July ]. and the following
account OF how one chapter organized
itself for the work may be found in
teresting:
AT Ilwaco, in Pacific County,
Washington, they didn't wait TO be
by twos and threes, but enlisted every
able-bodied man in the place and the
soldiers from Fort Candy, and made
an outing Of it that produced the most
gratifying results.
Three companies Of soldiers.

a couple Of washtubs. went TO the
sphagnum beds along the National
Park highway. and with q large num-
Der Of Long Beach people. picked
about 100 sacks Of moss. The work
was not hard, and there was plenty
Of time for fun beside. II was all
over by O'Clock. Afterwards the
soldiers went to Long Beach. where
the 10th company beat the Ast and
18th companies. Chief Somebody, Q

the conquerers, gave the opposition

VISITORS NUMEROUS
At CHAPTER HOUSE
Red Cross Receives Many Supplies
from This Branch.

On the second floor Of the chapter
house, American Red Cross, 1870 Con-
necticut avenue, one finds rooms de-
voted entirely to sample garments
which consists of hospital supplies,
knitted articles, Belgian clothes for
boys, girls and adults. together with
French and Belgian baby layettss-
There is also an exhibit Of surgical
dressings and afghans made by the
school children of the District, and
a wonderful pneumonia jacket made
OF old white kid gloves donated by
people to the chapter.
The samples are in charge Of Mrs.
John r. Galloway. who cuts and
makes samples for all auxiliaries Of
the Red Cross in this country and
many OF the Latin countries Many
visitors inspect these garments every
day and it is in this way many in
teresting but sometimes pathetic sto-
ries are heard.
For instance. Just a few weeks ago.
a quiet and gentle little woman call
ed at the room and presented Mrs.
Galloway with a wonderful Japan
ese bed covering, saying at the time
that as long as she had no son to
give to the country and no. money for
the Red Cross. she could at least
give this treasured cover. with the
hopes that the Red Cross could dis
pose of it for money.
This cover was presented to her
husband at the Worlds Fair held in
Chicago twenty-five years ago by the
Royal Councillor of the Emperor of
Japan. and she thought it would
bring at least 800. 1t is needless to
say the cover was disposed of for a
much greater sum. and the lady
made very happy.

Summer Days Vivid.
The summer days We followed
troops on hikes stand out most
vividly in our memories. Such
cheering as there was when We ar
rived at dawn! How those boys
sang as they marched or took their
beathing spells at the roadside.
They were so plucky and only the
most hideous torture Of blistered
feet or bodies that simply could not
be driven any farther would induce
them to fall out of rank and ride
in an ambulance. 1 saw a lad. much
too slender for his enormous height,
pack and gun. He had tied q wet
handkerchief around his aching
head. and looked just like a wound
ed man.
A small boy who was standing
at a farmhouse gate joined the
troops and slipped his hand into
that Of the tall soldier. Presently
the child was carrying the gun and
what a look Of rapture there was
on his freckled face!
Again the troops were marching

his feet, cutting a great cash in
his hand. Only his pack saved him
from serious injury. When his COM
panions saw that he was not great
ly hurt, they joked and laughed
and even accused him of getting in
the way Of the truck in order to
ride in an ambulance. But there
was a different spirit when a half
an hour later, the regimental dog
was killed by another speeding mo-
tor. The soldiers swarmed across
the road and stopped the driver,
with murder in their eyes. Only
the perfect control Of those in COM
mand saved the man from a nasty
beating. For a long time, however,
there was no singing.
