Put SHOULDER To WHEEL
Save Pennies and Some Useless Ex-

Thrift to Children Wherever
and Whenever Possible.
By MISS BLANCHE BATES,
Popular Actress.

With our boys over there driving In
the final wedge-fghting shoulder to
shoulder with the heroes Of Britain,
of France, Of Italy, of poor mutilated
Belgium-With our wonderful Ameri-
can mothers and our valiant young
American wives, over here, sending
their loved boy-men, SO Loyalty, so
cheerfully-it's up to US, just the COM
mon-or-garden stay-at-homes, to make
good, too! There is no discomfort too
great to bear, no service that can't be
asked of US, no sacrifice that we will
not make. 1t is our right to be allowed
our share In this world war.
Must Back Our Boys.
Our boys have gone over there, bear
Ing In their eager youths faces and In
their stout American fighting hearts.
Americas promise to those poor war
wearied peoples. 1t Is a promise that
you and / and every man, woman and
child in America must stand back Of
with all our hearts and souls with all
our worldly goods. There Is not hu-
man American today who Is not fred
with a passion of patriotism, with the
keenest desire to serve-for the chance
to prove his right to look those boys
In the face when they get back. Just
the contempt we have for the Stacker
the pro6teer of today-just that con-
tempt will we have for ourselves, of
tomorrow, IT, In our souls we can find
one chance to serve overlooked or one
sacrifice not made. For, remember
that our boys In that one moment of
supreme self!essness- "going over
the top"-that second of conscious
immolation on the altar Of freedom.

brain-for just you and me-for our
peace and safety-in that one moment

So for all OF US comes the searching
Of what we may do now-how to pre-
pare for that time when our boys
come back, bearing along with their
scars of war, that triumph Of war
freedom for all men and future peace
for all peoples, Even yet, not all Of
US can take an active part In direct
war works. Bur there are two ways
In which all can share and In which
women must lead As men have re-
adjusted the worlds of business, Of
finance, Of industry to war, so we
women can readjust our little indi-

the homely tasks OF cooking, washing,
bedmaking, sending the children to
school, directing the family amuse-
ment-even these can be directly re-
lated to the war necessity of keeping
the nations health. balance and spirit

when our country may call on US
just you and me-for the supreme sac
rifice.
Keep Thrift Wheel Spinning.
Then, we women must put our Shout

spinning merrily. We can save-and
In this our babies can help-save pen

GREAT SURPRISE s

Urged to Double Their Efforts

dlers lover There"

Red Cross chapters of the South.
west are urgently requested by the
headquarters OF the Southwestern Di-
vision, American Red Cross, at St.
Louis, to mobilize all their forces and
prepare for a surprisingly big drive in
he spring.
from all signs ard intimations com.
ng from Europe in yelled cablegraras,
..o4, persons high in the conduct OF
Ie war, and from hints dropped from
Washington, the number OF Americans
no viii be in Europe by spring will
De a great surprise.
1t is admitted, on high authority,
hat there are thousands more sol.
mrs in France than it was thought
here would be. From preparations
Ualng made at cantOnments and from
.i.c numbers now in transit, there will
be many thousands more in Europe
within a short time, They not only
win be in Europe, but they will be in
he front line, so present advices point
out,
This all goes to show that Red Cross
workers will have to double up or
their work and provide comforts foI
our own boys and at the same time
continue to aid French, Italians and
Seryians.
Ii is up to chapters to inform their
members Of the necessity for o
sweaters, wristlets. helmets. mufilers
nospitai garments, surgical dressings,
etc. Hundreds of thousands Of each
OF these must be made to take care Of
the boys in the spring.
The time to start the preparation is
now. The chapters realize that it takes
lots OF time TO get all Of the necessary
articles together, and each one will
want to make a good showing when
he shipments are made.
or course, the thousands of Ameri-
can soldiers will need Red Cross
nurses to care for them. Forty thou
sand is the number estimated by the
surgeon-general for the near future.
The nursing service Of the Red Cross
offers many inducements and undOubt-
eddy many OF the patriotic women OF
the Southwest will join it, so that they
can go to France and help in the fight
