TOO BUSY?

I'm sure I don't. know what is
happening to my kitchen these days.
exclaimed a woman the other day
MY grocery bills are appalling. I'm
afraid we are wasting fearfully in
every way, but I haven't time to con-
slder economies or to watch the or

administrations wishes are carried
out. I'm too busy
Too busy!
This is the universal excuse TODAY
OF women who are letting their house.
nolds run amuck. Never before in
history have there been so many com.
pelllng forces drawing women out
side their homes. So much Red
Cross work to be done! So many
committees on which to serve! Sc
many hundreds of kinds of war work
calling daily for our brains and
hands. But it is essential that we put
OF thought on the various war relief
activities and work out some plan b,
which we can apportion our time and
strength to those things most worth
our while.
One of the first questions facing the
woman who is running a home is;

REDCROSS NOTES

Henry p. Dawson, chairman OF the
war council of the American Red
Cross, has issued to the 1854 chap
ters and the 22,000,000 members OF
the American Red Cross, the follow
ing statement outlining the future
policy of the Red Gross: "Fhe whole
American people will be invited in the
week preceding Christmas to enroll
as members of the Red Cross. 1t is
confidently believed that there need
be no further campaigns for Red
Cross funds, but instead, the annual
roll call will constitute the founda-
ton of the Red Gross. The people
should therefore know as definitely as
possible the plans of this their ma
tional humanitarian society.
"Since the armistice was signed, l
have had an opportunity to confer IN
Paris with the heads of all American
Red Cross Commissions in Europe,
and later in Washington with the
President of the United States, the
war council of the Red Cross, the
managers of the fourteen Red Cross
divisions of the United States, and
with the heads of our departments a.
national headquarters. / am, there
fore, able to speak now with knowl-
edge and assurance in saying that
the benefcent work of the American
Red Cross is to go forward on great
scale-not alone, as heretofore, for
purposes of relief in war, but as an
agency of peace and permanent hu-
man service
Since Americas entry into the
war, the purpose of our Red Cross
has been primarily to aid our army
and navy in the care of our own men
under arms, and, secondly, to extend
relief 20 the soldiers, sailors, and ci-
villains of those nations which were
fighting our battles along with their
own. With the funds which have
been so generously contributed by the
American people this war work 'of
the Red Cross will continue and be
completed with all possible sympathy
and energy.
wherever our soldiers and sail
ors may be, the Red Cross will stay
with them until they are demobilized.
Nothing which we may do will be left
undone, either for the men in the wal
zone, for those returning, for those in
the camps and hospitals, OF for theil
families at home, to whom the min
istrations of the Red Cross Home
Service will be continued. In this
latter. effort $4,000 trained Red Gross
workers are now engaged at 250C
different places throughout the land
"The problems of reconstruction
involving the feeding and caring fol
the distressed civilian populations OF
Europe are of such mas gnitude that
necessarily they must be met very
largely by the governments of om
allies, with whom our own govern.
meht will cooperate"
