WORK At CITY HALL
AND At HOME
Red Cross Wants All Possible
Work Done at Old City Hall;
Women Asked to Work There
and at Home.

Resolved. That viii sew at least once
a week at old City Hall or an auxiliary,
where sewing for refugees Is being carried
on by the Red Gross, and that | will take
away with me all the work that | can do at
home and get my friends TO do at home.
This is one of the best resolutions that
could be taken by a woman in this city.
The Red Cross wants it taken and acted
upon now so that the habit viii be formed,
and in good working order by the first
of the wear A few months of intensive
service, are needed, and then the Red
Cross will be able 10 stop calling inslstent-
ly and consistently upon women TO sew
and knit. The point is, that what Is
needed is needed instantly and there IS no
time for waiting. It's a case OF DO II
now.
Work on layettes and refugee garments
is needed. Over 900 layettes have been
gotten out recently. and 700 more are
needed at once. This work Is IN charge of
Mrs. Preston Lea and her able assistant,
Mrs. John r. HaSwell Those who will
call at old City Hall for this work, will
find one or the other or both of these
workers there. Layettes are cut out 10 be
made. also there are 500 black sateen
aprons for little French girls, cut out and
needing to be made If only the sewers
could see the dear little French babies, and
the pretty little French girls in the things
being made here for them, the needles
would ply much faster, and there would be
many more needles at work.
It would be good thing 10 put down in
engagement Monday evening, old
CITY Hall, sewing for refugees, from to
10 o'clock This work is in Joint charge of
Mrs. f. B. Kirby Miss Miriam Webb and
Miss Carolyn Golding.
THE URsULINE UNIT.
For a wear the Ursuline Unit has done
wonderful work with comfort bags. The
unit is now turning its attention to refu-
gee sewing, and Just as great work Is eN-
pected of the members along the new lne
On Monday evening last. they finished
and labelled 800 comfort bags. and took
l75 away To be finished by themselves
and their friends. Mrs. t. W. Wilson
made brief address to the unit, and, after
thanking them for the work already done,
asked them TO continue and to enlist the
aid of their friends The work done by the
unit from October 1917 10 October 1918,
is shown iii the following list Of articles
made:
Twenty six bed jackets, 20 bag covers,

A USEFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT.

The woman who needed the wise
tMof old admonition Of the government
to shop for Christmas now and TO give
useful gifts was looking for bedroom
breakfast tray with it's equipment. The
present was intended for the mother OF
a large family where it would often come
into use The buyer hesitated over
several dainty sets, for she well knew
they could never Withstand the wear
and tear OF that HOUSEHOLD Just then
her eye caught sight Of two very pretty
trays, enc furnish in green and one
in violet As she picked up the teapot
to examine it more closely, she was sur
prised to and il was enameled ware,
That settled the whole problem. There
was a light, unbreakahle service quite
rs pretty as the fragile ones she feared
To buy Now she is wondering why
she did not always know il and why
people have anything else for a service
which needs so much casual handling

In it's battle with the influenza epidemic
this nation has lost 5000 lives. In
s,,rance reports give between 350,OOO and
This is the number of dea tbs so far re-
ported to the United States Public Health
Service. II is far from the total since
during the first weeks deaths from influenza
were not required to be reported.
One of the outgrowths OF the nation
wide struggle with this disease was shown
bv reports reaching Washington in an In
creased demand for public health nurses
who proved their value during these last
months as a means of checking epldemics
bv the care of the sick and the education
of the public.
The National Organization for Public
Health Nursing and its War Program
Committee with headquarters IN Washing
ton are putting forth every effort TO help
meet this demand for more nurses which
it is believed will increase as reconstruction
progresses. The War Program Com mittee
was formed year ago to raise funds Tor
the increased activities of the organization
occasioned by the war and reconstruction.
Mrs. Chester C. Bolton of Cleveland
who is chairman of this committee and
directing its work from the Washington
headquarters. Is calling upon the State
representatives of the organization to use
ali possible means to secure additional
puhlic health nurses for their states by
in, res sing the courses of training open
10 public health nurses and by securing
scholarships for young women TO enable
them TO take these courses. Mrs. Bolton
in pointing out the immediate need tor
more public health nurses states:
IAN already growing demand Tor
public health nurses has been increased
bv war conditions and emphasized by
the epidemic of influenza. The impor-
tance Of keeping our civilian populs-
tion in good health, because of the need
of workers and for the sake of the morale
of the nation is brought out clearly in
time of war. while an epidemic illustrates
convincinglv the value OF preventive
and educational work which csn be
performed by public health nursing
community which employs public
health nurses is taught how diseases
are carried and how infection can be
avoided. and instead of learning the
necessary precautions after the epidemic
is we'll under way, will take them at
the first hint of danger.

Birds as food savers, both on land and
at sea, appear in a new light In the annual
report OF T. Gilbert Pearson. executive
head OF the National Association of
Audubon Societies, just beng issued
from its headquarters at No 1874 Broad
way, New York City.
The association offered the services
of its experts for government war work
with the entrance of the n3tion INTO the
world conflict
At the request Of the United States
Food Administrator. Mir. Pearson went
to the southern coasts TO investigate
a wide complaint that the brown pelican
was destroying valuable food fish and
should, therefore, be exter1ninated. BY
visiting all the pelican colonies from
Mexico 10 Key West, he learned on
the contrary, that these birds. of which
he estimates there are only 65000 adult
specimens. prey almost exclusively on
fish not eaten by man and which are
destructive to the Young of the fish
ordinarily offered in our markets The
creature Of the huge pouch, therefore,
has clean bill
The sea gulls, accused Of despoling
the sheep ranges on the islands off the
coast OF Maine, were found after care
ful study, by an agent Of the associa-
ton. to be a material aid TO increasing
the vegetation IN those regions.
Herbert c. Hoover. as food admins
traitor, recently called the attention
of the American people TO the necessity
for protecting the insect-eating and
migratory birds
Increased acreage under cultiva-
ton, to quote from the association s
report, ''very naturally means more
insects In turn and the need Of more
birds to combat them; hence there
has been still greater need for Audubon
service, which, through its many agencies,
supplies information and through lis
wardens is protecting bird life"
BIRDS AS FARMERS AIDS.
Valuable contributions to our knowl-
edge of the practical uses Of birds were
made through the associations depart
ment of applied ornithology in charge
Of II. X. Job. At his experimental birc
farm at Amston, Connecticut, Mr.
Job has made important investigations
and has also distributed information
to neighboring laud owners, and soreac
facts through his lectures and writing,
rs well as through the publications OF
the organization.
The association has been active ID
saving the klamath and Malheur bird
reservation in Oregon and c lifornia
from being dismantled and drained on
the plea that they were needed as ranch
es. Ii was shown that the birds which
found refuge there, especially in the
breeding season, justified the protection
afforded them as the winged conserva-
tors Of grain and fruit crops.
With the passage of the enabling act
of the migratory bird treaty, the means
for shielding the birds from destruction
ON their way from the United States
to Canada has been greatly increased
and with the coming of peace, the cham
pions Of the wild life of the forests ano
state legislation to aid them.
