Georgette crepe and satin have
rivaled one another In afternoon

From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
at Washington, ID. c., July s, the fol-
lowing article appears about the
motor corps service:
"More than six thousand women
now are included In the personnel of
the Red Cross motor corps service. AS
a result of conference recently held
In Washington at the call Of the direc-
tor of the bureau of motor corps serv-
ice, the motor service In six of the
principal cities of the country which
previously had been Independent in
Its organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
the Red Cross motor corps service
thoroughly co-ordinated institution,
able to meet the local and inter-local
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth of the land
on a nationalized basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the National
Service league motor corps of Atlanta,
the National Service league motor
corps of New York city and Buffalo,
the emergency motor corps of New
Orleans, and the emergency drivers
of Chicago. All these organizations
were represented at the conference by
their commanding officers, who now
become commanders of the Red Cross

cities. The four Independent services

COMMUNITY FAIR
FOSTERS RIVALRY
Farmers and Families Cooper
ate With Neighbors in Ex-
hibiting Best Products.
PEOPLE BROUGHT TOGETHER
First Step Is to Interest Leaders, Then
Elect officers and Appoint Com
mittees Ribbons Usually
Awarded as Premiums.

John Jones' basket of potatoes takes
the blue ribbon at the fair, and imme-
diately every farmer in the commun-
ity secretly plans to take that prize
away from Jones next year. And
Jones, seeing Jim Browns winning
corn, resolves that next time he will
add that premium to his other tro-
phies.
And so on down the line of all ex-
hibits, the community fair fosters the
spirit of friendly rivalry. 1t calls not
only for the exhibition of the best
products that have been grown and
the best work that has been done, but
it includes as we'll games, athletic
contests, pageants and other features
which bring the men and women and
the boys and girls together for whole
some recreation.
The first step toward holding a com
munity fair Is to interest the leaders
of the community; the second Is to
call meeting Of the whole commun-
lty to elect officers and appoint com
mittees to have charge Of the work
The fair should be well advertised
and effort should be made to secure
exhibits from as many persons as pos
sible, rather than to secure exhibits
of exceptional quality. For premiums
ribbons are usually awarded rather
than cash payments. AS most of the
mann 20 nnu fnp tho fafr no mazda nv
volunteer workers, the small amount
of money required for incidental ex-
penses can be raised by subscription
or by the sale of advertising space in
the catalogue or on the program.
There should be no entry fees or adj
mission charge.
Grouping the Exhibits.
While 1t is to be expected that the
exhibits at community fair viii re-
celvc special attention for the purpose
of exhibition, nevertheless they should
represent as nearly as possible the
normal production of the community,
for one of the purposes of holding
community fair is to stimulate d de-
silly w lhthSusN tlie uusulily anu 10
improve the quality of the average
product.
Personal solicitation has been found
to be the most effective means of in
ducing people to make exhibits. Each
exhibitor should realize that he Is in
competition only with other members
Of the community and that it viii not
be possible for some stranger to take
all the prizes.
Satisfactory results are usually oh
tanned in community fairs by group
ing certain classes of exhibits. Thus,
in the live stock department, horses,
cattle, swine, poultry, and pets are
exhibited. In the farm products de-
partment are shown different varieties
Of grains and seeds, grasses and for
uge crops, field beans and peas. pea.

added more than six hundred members
to the motor corps ranks.
In the comparatively few months
during which the national bureau has
been In control of the volunteer mo-
tor corps of the various cities, impor.
tant progress has been made in eff
cacy and uniformity of service. Rules
and requirements have been standard
lied so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work find no interest
In the service. Under the conditions
existing a certified driver feels pride
in her position.
In conformity with the request OF
the war department the uniform of
Khaki and the insignia formerly EN-
ployed have been discarded. The new
regulation uniform Of the motor corps
is to be of Red Cross oxford gray.
Commanders will wear three silver
diamonds, embroidered on their shout
der straps. Captains will wear two
silver diamonds, first lieutenants one,
and second lieutenants q gilt diamond.
Pearl gray tabs on the collar will in
dictate staff officers. Service stripes
will be worn on the sleeves.
The ears of the service are to be
distinguished by white metal pen
nant, bearing the red cross and the
words motor Corps" This and the
drivers Identification card will be
sufficient to give the cars the right OF

Honey in Place Of SUGAR.

The simplest way of using honey Is
to serve it like jam or strip with
bread, breakfast cereals, boiled rice
pancakes, and other mild-favored
foods. AS ordinarily used on bread
an ounce of honey spreads" as many
slices as an ounce of jam. When it
is to be used in the place of strip
some people dilute it by mixing it
with hot water, which has the effect
of making 1t not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or mixture of honey and
sugar strip can be satisfactorily used
for sweetening lemonade and other
fruit drinks Sirup of any kind is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissolved sugar, and when charged
water is to be added it has a further
advantage since it has less tendency
to expel the gas.
The fact that honey consists prin.
cipally of sugar and water and is
slightly acid suggests that it IS a suit
able substitute for molasse' IN cook
cry.

nuts and potatoes, together with dairy
products and bee products. The or
chard and garden department includes
such exhibits as fruits and vegetables,
ornamental shrubbery, and flowers.
The woman's work and fine arts de-
partment includes prepared foods,
canned goods, jellies, preserves, and
pickles. and all kinds of needlework,
together with such exhibits as paint
ings, metal work, raffia and reed bas-
ket work, pottery. painted china, and
handmade jewelry.
The school and club department in-
cludes all exhibits from organizations
in the community which wish to bring
the results of their work before the
community in this way.
The historical relics department in
cludes firearms, swords, caps, and
other war relics, old looms, spinning
wheels, and articles produced on them,
old pictures, drawings, documents, In
dian relics, family relies, geological
specimens, and objects of interest
from other lands.
Ribbons for Prizes.
Experience has proved that the
awarding of money prizes not only
makes the cost Of fair prohibitiye,
but, by placing the emphasis on money
instead Of on the honor of achieve
ment, defeats the purpose of the fair.
The best results have been obtained
where ribbons have been awarded. Che
color Of the ribbon denoting the grade
of the prize. If money is available
for printing the ribbons, each one
should be so printed as to show the
occasion, place, and date. Awards
should be made on the basis of the
excellence of the exhibit, and no pre-
MUM should be awarded to a poor
exhibit. Accordingly, for the informa-
ton Of exhibitors, it is well to publish
for each class of exhibits the require
ments that are to be considered by the
judges in awarding premiums.
The arrangements Of county fairs
are beginning to realize the value of
the community exhibit as a factor in
making the county fair serve its pur-
pose as an agricultural exhibition.
Liberal premiums have been offered
for these community exhibits, either
in cash or in such form as to be of
community use, as, for example, ref
erence books on agricultural subjects
to be kept in the community library, a
watering trough conveniently located,
or drinking fountain. One state has
recently passed law providing for
the holding of community fairs and
money for the purpose
of packing community exhibits and
them to the larger fairs.
