The army really will make many
worthwhile men out of the material
that is now questionable. Those
men who are their own worst ene-
mics are likely to get the most net
good out of their service under the
flag. Some will be redeemed from
drink, some from excessive smoking,
some from laziness, some from de-
spair, some from establishment,
some from selfshness, some from
snobbishness. Many family hearth

Care of Soldiers

Besides the examining surgeon there
is the dentist. Teeth are put in good
condition here, and there are dentists
overseas to keep them in good condi-
tion. Also there is an orthopedic sur
geon to examine the soldiers feet. 1t
has been said that during past wars
there were more desertions from foot
trouble than all other causes combined.
The attention given to the selection OF
shoes for the soldiers in the American
army is side-light on the care we
give our fighting rnen.

of shoes he gets pair that fits his
feet. No account is taken Of the size

edge and cleverly concealed under a
pleat or fold.
One particularly good-looking dress
that attracted much attention was OF
dark blue serge, and embroidered with
senna- colored floss. The skirt was
draped after the newest fashion,
which gave it the effect of the peg-top,
A small velvet toque Of rose color,
with dull blue petals, gave a pert and
piouant demeanor to the costume
Dull-black kid pumps, with military
heels, this person of good taste chose
as her footwear.
Spats Are Popular
With the advance of cool weather
spats are seen in greater numbers
Somehow these things have the capac-
ity to give an ultra smart appearance
to the p'ainest costume. They always
look neat and trim, and are most de-
sirable in fawn or sand-color. Iho
white ones are considered in good
taste, they are not favored as much as
the soft neutral shades just mentioned
Shoes are of such exorbitant prices
that many women will find it less ex-
pensive to wear pumps and spats. The
best-selling shoe at the present time
is the brown leather with the fiat heel
and perforated tip. The reason is
well known. War work requires the
women to walk great deal, and high
heels and fancy shoes would not stand
much wear.
Military Influence in Top Coats
The fad for the military influence in
dresses and suits is sort of "passe",
and now it is seen in the top coat.
Illustrated here are two deserving mo-
dels that would be sure protection
against the cold wave. The one with
the cap to match is for the junior or
the miss. 1t is simple in line and re-
tains all the potent charm Of youth.
The ladies' model has the novelty vest
and collar of contrasting material.
The sleeves of this design are quite
unusual and the pockets conform with
the same style.

General Manager American Red Cross.
Washington, October 10, 1918.
The Silent Moment
The steady flow of Red Cross sup
plies to our own people and to our
Allies is an evidence of the loyalty,
devotion and service Of our Red Cross
workers.
The assistance given is to a great
degree material, but a spirit perme-
ates each gift which immeasurably
transcends the value of the gift itself.
We desire to preserve this spirit as
the inspiration Of our service. We
hope as the work of our fighting force
increases that now more than ever
Red Cross workers will make apparent
our kinship of thought, as we'll as kin
ship Of effort, even through the rush
and stress of active work.
Therefore at a meeting Of the War
Council held on Wednesday, Oct. 2, it
was
Resolved:
That every day, at the hour
of noon, in every workroom of the
American Red Cross throughout the
whole of these United States, upon a
given signal, all work shall cease for
a period of one minute.
During this time in silence, we.
the members Of the Red Cross, will
solemnly concentrate our minds upon
our beloved soldiers and sailors over
seas who are so nobly offering their
all, even unto their lives, for us. We
will think as one-hope as one, for
their definite victory and their individ-
ual wellbeing, consecrating ourselves
anew to our country and to those who
fight, labor and suffer for her, becom-
ing one with them in service.
May this united Prayer, gathering
power from our love and faith, mount
to Heaven itself, descending thence in
the midst Of our dear ones wherever
they may be, fall upon them as bene-
diction, to be at all times their COM
fort and their strength.

What a patriotic throng fills New

inspiration the Avenue is with its
many colored flags, its artistic decor
ations and it's hundreds of bond
booths where one may exchange their
small change into stamps for the gov

girls who have voluntarily given up
their pleasures to devote their time to
this splendid work; many times by
their winsome smile do they win a
quarter or two that had an entirely
different destination in view.
The professional people are doing
their share in a most admirable fash
