SERVICE ON WHEELS


In modern warfare there Is much
portable relief work done. Instead Of
carrying the wounded man to hospital
and canteen, canteen and hospital are
moved to him. The first thing that is
done for a man after the battle is to
give him something to eat. The Amer
lean Red Cross has rolling canteens
that take hot bouillon. coffee, tea, CO.
Goa, lemonade and sandwiches right to
the front line trenches. To the man
who is wounded there is a mobile hos
pital brought to his very elbow. This
is the "autochir," q special motor truck
that carries complete surgical hospI-
tai right to the front.
These are some Of the things that
the people Of America are doing for
the comfort and welfare Of the boys
over there by enrolling their names in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
The Red Cross button and the Red
Cross Service Flag should everywhere
be in evidence during the week of De-
cember 10th to the Odd as outward
symbols of this annual rededication to
Red Cross service.

The SERVICE FLAG

Hung with tear and woman's prayer
/ Child of Old Glory, born with star.
Oh. what a wonderful flag you are.
Blue is your star in its field of white!
Dipped in the red that was born Of

Born of the blood that our forbears
shed
To raise his mother, the flag. o'erhead.
And now you've come in this frenzied
day.
To speak from window. to speak and
say:
"I am the voice of Soldier Son,
Gone to be gone til the victory's won.
II am the flag of service. sir;
The flag of his mother-I speak for her
Who stands by my window and waits
and fears,
But hides from the others her unwept
tears. t--si ''.'s
"I am the flag of the wives who wait,
The safe return of martial mate;
A mate gone forth where the War-Gods
thrive.
To save from sacrifice other mems
wives.
II am the flag of the sweethearts true,
The often thought of-the sisters, too.
am the flag of the mothers son.
And won't come home til the victory's
won."
Dear little flag in the window there!
Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer!
Child of Old Glory, born with a star;
oh, what wonderful flag you are!

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS
new WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat Of the German
armies and the redemption of wide ter.
ritory has produced tremendous ex.
pansion of all Red Cross activities.
The German retreat widens the syste-
matte destruction not only of cities
and villages, but of practically every
thing in the evacuated territory.
1t will be necessary to provide at
once for the housing Of homeless refu.
gees in the devastated areas and in
the temporary reconstruction of vii
lagos. 1t will be necessary to provide
also clothing, cloth and dressmaking
supplies sewing machines, In addition
to foodstuffs and medical supplies,

in operation before winter. The Red

ed that $4,000 French babies died last
year, 10000 of whom might have been
saved. One of the immediate objects

RED CROSS TAKES
HOME TO THE BOYS

The French soldiers have furlOughs
which they can spend at home. The
English fighters go back to Blighty.
But our boys have the ocean between
them and home. They cannot come
home on furlough, and 1t remains for
the American Red Cross to try and
take home to them.
This is particularly true in regard
to the convalescent homes Here all
reversion to hospital life is avoided.
Books, games, music, social evenings
and home-like surroundings help them
to throw off the grim business of war
until they are really able to recover.
The housekeeper is always n mother
ly woman, usually American, who
looks after the comfort of her charges
and helps them to. pack up all imagi-
nary troubles In the old kit bag.
The American Red Cross now has
six OF these homes in operation.

LUKE MeLuKE SAYS

Anyway, when women do get the vote
and a mans pet candidate is defeated,
he can blame it on his wife and use 1t
as an excuse for staying out at night.
Millionaires and Hoboes are the only
two classes of men who can afford to
look seedy.
AS a rule when an old timer is sigh
ing for the Good Old Days he is real
ly signing for the Good Old Nights.
What has become of the d-fashioned
girl who used to embroider her own
sheets and pillow cases when she was
engaged to a man..
1t makes a flat-chested girl green
with envy when she notices how a
corn-fed girl can fill a sweater.
Never take a census of your friends
when you are down and out and need
them. If you do, the census will make
a sorry showing.
The pretty man that the women go
crazy over seldom has any male friends.
Any groceryman can tell you that the
people who are the slowest pay demand
attention first when they are in his
store.
Some men are so happily married that
they heave a sigh of relief when they
realize that there's no place like home.
Before you marry it is just as well
to know that every woman is born with
the knowledge that 1t was never intend
ed that married men should have per-
personal liberty.
Another cinch bet is that they never
tie can on the man who is bigger
than his job.
We all hate Turkey, but there is no
use rubbing it in by blaming Turkey for
the Turkish cigarettes. Turkish cigar

ING ASKED.

Under the United States Food Ad-
ministration's new policy Of entirely
voluntary food saving, all regulations
enforcibly restricting the use of sugar
have been rescinded.
No penalty is now attached to pur-

Of sugar and all foods be maintained.

AMERICAN GIRLS BRING
CHEER TO WOUNDED,

my wound hurts like h, but I
don't intend to pass up this chance to
talk to an American girl"
This sentiment, voiced by an Ameri.
can soldier, reflected the feelings OF
many of his wounded comrades when
they arrived in Paris after the recent
Franco-American drive north of ver-
dun, according to reports just received
by the American Red Cross from work
ers in Paris. These reports, testifying
to the wonderful cheerfulness of tho
wounded men, say that many of them
refused to continue their journey to
the hospital until they had chance
to chat with the American women In

the first ship loaded with American
food for European relief has been
sighted off Gibraltar steaming slow
ly through the straits toward the
waiting. hungry lands Of Southern
Europe.
This shipload Of food must be fol-
lowed by hundreds more until twenty
million tons are sent. And to do this
the present saving on Colorado tables
must be increased two-thirds. Colo
