STRETCHING PARIS TO
 MEET THE NEEDS OF FRANCE THE RED CROSS HAS HELPED WHERE GOV.
 PAYMENTS WERE HELPLESS.

The avalanche of refugees that swept into Paris from the north of France had been the despair of the civil authorities These homeless, stunned people were a new responsi- bility to be added to the thousands of wounded men that came steadily from the shambles of the west front.
 Paris Is an old city. It was not ready to take in its neighbors' chill dren. Its population was already a tight fit. So 1t made the best of it's poor hospitality by offering up Its gar rets. New building construction seem ed impossible. Men were scarce. The mechanic was either manning the trenches or fighting the fight in the war factories. Paris was distracted.
 It is wonderful indeed how nobly Paris tried to meet this condition. And 1t Is remarkable how Paris met 1t with the aid of our own Red Cross Unhampered by red tape or precedent our Red Cross put on overalls and jumper carried the bod, became archi- tect, engineer and contractor and went into the building of homes. Here was a church lot that lay vacant; here an unfinished hospital; there a worn out

And Yet This True Story Has a
 Happy Ending.

Even a Frenchman sometimes loses Tor awhile at least, his "unfailing" sense of humor.
 rake, for instance, the case of q man from Lille, a soldier, Waeltele bv name and only twenty-three. He had done pretty well, for the youngster had already his own printing shop in that northern French town, which is still in- side the German lines. In the trenches Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and ne was sent to hospital at Grenoble.
 There he was considered incurable, and after the usual three months of treatment he was granted his IA cents day pension. Said his fatherly army doctor. My son, you can perhaps cure yourself if you will live in the noun tains, if you will eat plenty of nour- ishing food and, above all, if you don't worry"
 Waeltele should have smiled, but he didn't. He was thinking of hIs baby and his wife-and his IA cents. Don't worry!" The humor of 1t entirely es- capped him.
 Then the Red Cross stepped in. He was found by an American woman with some American Red Cross money for just such cases, and within few hours he no longer had need to worry. He was sent to the mountains at La mure, in the French Alps, happy in the knowledge that his family was be- ing cared for by these amazingly kind. Americans.
 And now the army doctors words are coming true. Waeltele's lung Is healing fast, and he is dreaming of another printing shop and of living again some day with that little family.
 There have been over 100000 new cases of tuberculosis in France since the war started, and to care for these cases and check the White Plaques spread Is merely one of the big jobs the American Red Cross has set out to accomplish.

building, all of which in fortnight were started on their way toward new apartments, rooms and sleeping wards.
 We here at home who associate the great Red Cross movement with band ages and white gowned nurses must lose this old Illusion In the light of a thousand other works for humanity.
 In this case we see the Red Cross first as diplomats convincing the civil authorities of Parts as to their ability to remedy the situation, then as architects remodeling buildings, chang. ing building plans, hiring labor gath. cred by themselves from the ex-sol diery and the older man, all the while working under every imaginable hand. icap, while Father Time cried, "Get it done, get it done"
 So out of the garrets came these de. spairing people to find new hope ir clean homes, to get new cheer out of sheer bodily comfort and fresh cour age to again take up the great trust that France has kept so well-"to car ry on." It Is not strange that oui French brothers believe in your own Red Cross just a little more than you do. But should this be?

FATHER AT WAR,
 TRAGEDY AT HOME
Just What Home Service Means
 to a Soldier.

The father kisses his wife and kid dies goodby, shoulders his gun and marches away to war.
 For time the current of life flows smoothly for the soldiers little fami- ly. Then comes the tragedy. Mother Is taken III. The little brood of broth CTS and sisters is helpless. No father to turn to- A helpless mother
 To whom can the American soldiers family look at this critical periodf Must brave mans loyalty to his country mean desolation and suffering to those nearest and dearest to himf
 No! Emphatically no! The Ameri- can people will not permit the fami- lies of their soldiers and sailors to suffer because their breadwinners are fighting for their country. And so the Red Cross Department of Civilian Re lief has created a nationwide organ lzation for home service for the fami- lies of soldiers and sailors.
 Under the banner of Home Serv- Ice" patriotic men and women have enrolled and are devoting themselves 10 the noble task of helping soldiers families to meet and adjust the prob lens of everyday life and aiding them to maintain the standards of health, education and industry.
 Home Service-True Service.
 Home service means keeping the sol dier's children well and in school. It means tiding the family over financial troubles, arranging the household budget, meeting insurance premiums, adjusting a mortgage, bringing med Ical aid and legal advice to bear at the right moment. In short Home Serv- Ice" is true service, in that it provides the warm handclasp of friendship .ather than the humiliation of charity. t calls for sympathetic understanding md intelligent consideration of the most vital needs of the soldiers family.
 The Red Cross is pledged to Home Service" wherever needed in the Unit ed States. In each chapter of the Red Cross there will be a home service ection, under competent hands, whose mission will be to protect the welfare of the soldiers and sailors homes and to safeguard the normal development of their families In employment and in lieals of self help and self reliance.

HIS JOB TO BANDACE
 WOUNDED HOUSES
American Boss Carpenter Putting French Villages Back on
 the Map.

It was monotonous stretch of ugly trench. wire entanglements, gaping shell holes, accented by the blackened skeleton of shell killed forests silhouet. ted against dull, hopeless sky.
 This had once been beautiful rolling land like our own Ohio and Indiana rich in grain fields, orchards and gar dens. Now 1t was desolation-nothing could live there-seemingly nothing did.
 We had come on some rising ground, and as we climbed we reached the brow of the slope, and of sudden it seemed that some giant had suddenly twisted the old world under our feet and we were back home, for of sud. den the sounds of life came up to us out of hustling center of industry. That satisfying chug of an honest ham. mer head sinking willing nail into sound wood. and before us was a pan. orama of new building, with piles of clean lumber stacked here and there. and the framing of many new build. inss told where the wood was going. Then we heard the voice of a man who talked real United States"-tell Ing 27 other carpenters what to do-- ou in this foreign land thousands of nliles from home.
 We Inquired of the boss as to who he was. and with true sense of hu. iaeF he said: "l am q Red Cross nurse. My job Is bandaging wounded houses"
 Putting Villages Back on Map.
 "This was once French village" he went on to say. lin the center of fine sugar beet country. We are living now on the site of the sugar mill" he said. pointing to long, low barracks, which plainly had been recently built. I've are working for the American Red Cross-putting villages back on the map. In four more weeks we'll be out of here and on our way to the next ruin, for there are many villages that need us. We go from place to place, always finding that our lumber has reached there first, so We can get right to work, clean up and move on again."
 It is just like pioneering, this re- building work of our Red Cross-only more important-more important be- cause It is vital to the winning of the war that these people come back to their soil and plant new crops-for fu- ture years of war or peace.
 And so the tide of war sweeps back from whence it came. Red Cross army follows close behind in uniforms of overalls, armed with Yankee ham, mers and nails to coax back the found lings that have been brushed into squalid helplessness in the south and east
 They are coming back home now, just few days behind these carpen- ters--back to the beet fields, the gar dens and the farms. Soon they will be feeding themselves and thousands of others
