either elaborately or very simply, as
conditions warrant. In its dramatic
theme It expresses the emancipation
OF the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency of the
American Red Cross. Copies of the
masQue, as well as directions for cos
tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters In
every town and city.
One Of the most novel and interest
ing features Of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One-Hour plan
Of enrolment. This consists Of divid-
ing the community into units Of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
SUFFICIENT workers to canvass these
homes practically simultaneously. a
sort Of "home stretch" distributing
the work among many with a mini
mum Of time consumed BY each.
The ofhcial uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be q cap and arm

red flannel and a small paper circle In
