The North Topeka unit of the Red
Cross will meet as usual tomorrow
from o'clock in the morning until
5 o'clock in the afternoon. So far
the warm weather has had no effect,
apparently, on the ardor with which
the North Side women attack the
work. Having reached a certain
standard, the unit does not wish to
higher. To do this. there can be no
slackening of individual effort, but by
all pulling together this can be ac-
complished. The atmosphere of neigh
boriiness and friendly feeling which
prevails in the rooms is factor in
| the amount of work done.
