County Planning To Aid
In War Relief Work.
With two Pied Pipers, piping their
pipes, the Red Cross parade yester-
day afternoon that practically began
the drive" for Red Cross Week, was
realistic in the truest sense.
1t was the biggest and best, the
most dignified and inspiring, and in
point of numbers and makeup the
greatest and most successful parade
ever held in this city. The idea was
conceived by woman, probably that
is the reason for its great success.
To Mrs John Hood, chairman of the
Womans Section of the Red Cross
drive for Anne Arundel county, is
due the credit, for with her the Pied
Piper parde and all the other events
of the present Red Cross week had
their inception.
There is only one criticism of the
whole affair, and that is it did not
start on time. 1t was a half hour
late, but as there is nothing that ever
starts on time these days, it made
little difference to people who have
spent half their life in waiting"
Shortly after seven thirty o'clock
the parade swung around the left of
State House Circle and in front of the
reviewing stand on the north porch
of the State House Annex. where Gov
ernor Emerson c. Harrington, Colonel
Harry j. Hopkins, a member of his
staff, in uniform, Admiral Edward w.
Eberle, his Aide Commander John
Downs, and Captain Louis NJ Mutton,
Commandant of Midshipmen at the
Naval Academy, together with one of
the French officers reviewed the
tune there followed in close success
