KEoKUK WOMEN WORK
They Sewed Three Days in Week for
Months on Clothing for Bel
CLANS and Accomplish
ed Very Much.

The work of the refugee garment
department of the Red Cross has
been one of the busiest in the organi-
zation.
The work has covered more lines
than the name of the department
might indicate.
Mrs. C. F. Mcfarland in her report
Of the years work says:
! Each Individual worker has given
unstintedly of her time and her hest
effort. This cooperation has made
possible the volume and the high
state Of perfection of our work.
For several months of the year,
three days in the week, the sewing
twas entirely for Belgian refugees. In
| the spring a special drive was made
for Belgian garments, and the COM
mittees were assisted by various
auxiliaries and church societies, not
ABLY the auxiliaries of the Christian,
Baptist, United Presbyterian and
Congregational churches. The P. e.
o. chapter and the members Of Mrs.
O'Brien's committee also gave valu-
able assistance. The refugee gar
ment committee reports total of
1881 garments made"
A Good Years Work.
Since January /, 1918, most of the
time of this committee was given to
the making of hospital garments and
on several occasions the whole work
| ing force went to the assistance of
the gauze department.
This was particularly so in the De-
cember, 1917, drive on irrigation pads
and in the first line packets in May
Of this year, when In cooperation
with Mrs. O'Brien's committee 1862
pa ckets were made.
Beside the working force at Red
Cross headquarters. various auxiliary
committees have done much work.
Among these are the Mothers
club at the Wells school, the Bethel
M. e. auxiliary, the committee which
met at the home of Mrs. j. N. D.
Dickinson, and the domestic science
classes Of the high school under the
direction of Mrs. Newman.
The total articles made by this de
| partment which included refugee gar.
meDts, hospital garments, gauze
packets, etc, was 5,313 articles, which
las a Red Cross worker said, "repre.
sents good years work for one de-
partment."
