LOCAL RED CROSS
FEELS BIG HUN DRIVE
Large Quantities of Split Irrigation
Pads Asked OF Local Chapter
Now Under Orders Direct
From France

The tremendous scope and conse-
quences of the big drive now being
made on the western front in France
are being brought home to the peO-
pie of Pullman through demands on
the local Red Cross, received We'd
nesday, for great quantities of split
irrigation pads, gauze product not
heretofore produced by the ladies of
the Pullman chapter. The demand
for the pads, in immense quantity,
has come direct from France, through
the Spokane chapter, with word that
IL the present drive continues not
enough of the pads are available for
this month alone. Mrs. f. w.
Thorpe, chairman of the local chap
ter Is giving her entire attention to
the work and will exert every effort
to produce Pullman's quota of the
dressings in the time specified.
An appeal is made to all the pa
triotic women of Pullman to assist
10 the work and sufficient number
OF supervisors will be available at
the Red Cross rooms, both down
town and at the college, to give in
struction in the making of the pads
The work must be completed within
five weeks and to accomplish this a
goodly number of added workers will
be required, and it may be necessary
to keep the Red Cross headquarters
open morning as well as afternoons
and evenings.
The pad work will be given pre-
cedence over all other classes of
work during the next five weeks and
every woman of the community must
do her full share if the reputation
of the local chapter for efficiency
and expedition is to be sustained and
IL the fighting men of the allies who
fall before the fearful charge of the
Huns are to receive the attention
that is their due.

day received it's certificate as mem
Der of the Washington Bank Deposit
ors Guaranty Fund. The bank guar

WEDNESDAY EVENING

will appear at the college auditorium
Wednesday evening April as a
number of the associated students
entertainment course, is an attrac-
ton of exceptional merit.
1t is ranked as one of the best
string quartets in America and is
not to be confused with the class of
musical attractions usually presented
by the lyceum bureaus.
The concert given by this organi-
cation at the college last year was
considered one of the best heard here
in recent years. Many people pre-
ferred it to the Josef Hoffman recital
which occurred in the same ~eek.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring
use enough to noisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
Of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

A COLD OR CATARRH
How To Get Relief When Head
and Nose are Stuffed Up.

Count fifty! Your cold in head or
catarrh disappears. Your clogged nos

Balm from your druggist and apply
little of this fragrant antiseptic
cream In your nostrils. 1t penetrates
through every air passage of the
head, soothing and healing the swol-
len or inf1amed mucous membrans,

My Dear Mr.. Rich: Your letter OF
July IL reached me a week ago to-
day, quite some little interval, but
it Is to be expected the way l move
around.
Since about the middle OF July. I
have been connected with an auto
mobile hospital, and such hospital
has It on Barnum and Bailey's CIT
Gus when 1t comes to playing all
day stands and moving on.
An automobile hospital is one that
is mounted on trucks and fitted up
complete for operating the most
seriously wounded cases. We go up
back of the lines as close as we can
and not get blown clear off the map.
And, of course, these charging boys
of ours are going ahead these days
at such q rapid stride that we move
about every week. In fact we moved
six times during the month OF Au-
gust, and haven't had the heart to
try to count this month. but 1t is
wonderful service and we have plen-
ty of exciteemnt-at times too much
for comfort.
In this location, we have not been
molested very much by Fritz out
side OF his whiz-bangs and shells
screaming over us at night, and even
these last two nights have been COM
paratively quiet on that score, as
the boys are driving the Huns back
out of range of us, and, of course.
that means pack up and move for
ward for us.

A Wonderful Soldier Hero.

We see great many amusing
things in this work, and again many
pathetic ones. The most touching
thing believe / have witnessed was
last week in our last location.
A young chap. fine, intelligent fell
low, was brought in ON Monday, hit
In the back with a piece OF shrap-
mel which cut his spinal column, and
of course there was no chance for
his recovery. Our chaplain, who Is
wonderful man of middle age, from
Waterbury, Conn, went in to see
him and discovered he was a boy he
had baptised, and knew his whole
family Naturally, great interest
was taken in him. He lived until
Saturday morning, all the time know
ing he was not going to recover. His
fortitude was wonderful.
On Saturday afternoon one of the
regiments sent Its band back to give
the patients a musical treat. This
chap heard them, and, calling the
chaplain. asked IL he wouldn't have
the band move over by his ward and
play his regiments march, as he felt
he was going out and wanted to
hear It once more.
The band was moved over and
played the march, and that chap ip
his feeble way tried to beat time
10 It, and as the last strains Sounded
he saluted. ] don't believe there
was a dry eye among the whole gang
of its officers, nurses and men. In
about fifteen minutes he had passed
out
