 Each Red Cross chapter has a home service section, composed of leading patriotic citizens, and organized under stress of war conditions for the foI- lowing purposes:
 ITO give emergency financial aid if it will relieve distress in your family
 "To make sure that competent legal or medical aid, or both, is given to your family if their necessities call for either.
 "1n other words, to relieve your anx. iety about your beloved ones and to provide emergency relief
 Tt is expected that your family will assist themselves in every way possi- ble before application is made to the Red Cross.
 Applications for assistance should be made by the soldier in either of two Ways-direct to his company con- mander, who should take up the mat ter with the field director at the Red Cross building.

 "The American Red Cross Society desires to furnish one woollen sweater and two pairs of woollen socks to all members of this command who need them. These articles are to be issued to each regiment as part of the reg mental equipment, and not as the per sonal property of the soldier, so that when man is separated from the service these articles should remain with the regiment for reissue.
 "Regimental and separate organiza- tion commanders will submit to this Cffice before noon Monday, January 28, 1918, requisitiOn of the number of sweaters and socks needed completely to equip their organization. This does not contemplate the furnishing of ad- ditional sweaters, and in cases where men already have sweaters and socks and do not need more, no requisition should be placed for these men"

THE QUICK OR THE DEAD

Crushed tho the heart be, mourning
 its dead When the loved one lies cold and
 still; Silent lips may not smile nor answer No more of life's promise fulfill. Yet how far more crushed the heart
 that grieves For the loved one who's gone away Buoyant with life, needing not love. Care-free, glad, in new walks to stray! Forsaken in death, deserted in life The first a reunion may know; Forsaken in life, never more hearts
 may wake, For love once dead may no longer
 grow! Dennison MacConnen.

LOS ANGELES APARTMENT
HOUSE FAMINE ENDS

Los Angeles, April 29.-"Los Ange-
les has gone through the worst apart
bnent house famine it has ever ex-
perlenced on account of the great
throngs of winter tourists" states
William r. Flood, manager of the Ho-
tel Lankershim, and also proprietor
of the Granada Apartments, situated
at 419 Grand avenue, one of the best
located apartment houses in the city.
with the return of these winter vis-
ltors to their eastern and northern
homes, this tremendous demand has
subsided. However, the summer vis-
itors from the hot sections of the
Southwest will keep most of the
houses well filled.
"During the summer months | in
tend to quote special rates to guests
Of the Granada Apartments, so that
they will be kept filled to capacity.
Rates for single rooms as low as SIG
and attractive apartments as low as
S22.50 per month will be offered. Res
ervations are already being accepted
from summer visitors"

WOMEN TAKING

London, April Is (By maiD-With

ers, conditions in many parts Of the
country are undergoing remarkable
change. This is most noticeable in
parts where women land workers are
making their homes.
The Womens Institute is largely re-
sponsible for the movement which is
gradually revolutionizing village life,
making it more attractive and stimu-
lating a sense of citizenship. In con-
junction with the Food Production de-
partment, preliminary meeting is
called which elects democratic COM
mittee representing farmers wives,
cottagers and landed women, who
thereafter manage affairs, arranging
for monthly social gatherings where
useful lectures are given, exhibitions
of housecraft or gardening skill held,
and old treasured receipts and house
hold hints exchanged.
Several hundred villages already
have their committeese and the Food
Department is inundated with de-
mands for organizers and lecturers.

TRAFFIC FINES
co INTO STAMPS

Nogales, Ariz., April 29.-Fines for
violation of the traffic laws, with re-
ccipts therefor given in thrift stamps
is feature of the traffic education
and thrift campaigning here.
The town marshal recently took his
stand on corner, where the traffic
is heavy, and began to halt drivers
of automobiles and other vehicles,
whenever he detected violation of a
traffic ordinance. Given the ordinary
traffic ordinance, and the average
motorist, the marshal said, he could
always find something to chang onto
them" and his theory proved correct.
AS every technical violator drove
up, the marshal brought him to halt
and told the offender that the fine
should be paid on the spot-and then
offered thrift stamps in the amount
of the fine by way of a receipt.
The plan worked, as the marshal
turned in 1915 to the thrift stamp
committee after spending only few
hours at his task.

growers. is the deduction from a tele-
gram received this morning by Pres
ident Dunn of the Imperial Valley
Bankers Association. The telegram
is al follows:
"Sans Francisco, April 2S-Wm. T.
Dunn, President Imperial Valley
Bankers Association, Brawley, CAL
Referring to your wire to the Food
Administration, Washington the Grain
Corporation will buy promptly all
wheat which the mills or grain COM
panies do not take. We have no au-

STOOD ADMINISTRATION ZONE

"By MCKINNEY"
Considerable uneasiness has arisen
in the valley over the uncertainty re-
garding the question as to what will
be done with the barley crop. The
dealers refuse to buy as usual, as
serting the amount that can be car
ried on hand is limited. No definite
prices have been set, except tentative
offers by one company of $2.75, which
other dealers aver will probably be
higher than the prospective market
price.
In an effort to clarity the situation
President Dunn of the Bankers Asso-
citation telegraphed the Food Admin

ruling that would enable the growers
as well as the dealers to know what
to expect.

SANTA MONICA
AN IDEAL RESORT
FOR HOT SEASON
Latchstring 1t Out for Imperial Val
ley Folks at the Crescent Bay Git
ties, Santa Monica and Ocean Park;
Luxurious Apartment Houses or
Small Cottages.
MANY NEW ATTRACTIONS ARE
ADDED AT FAMOUS RESORT

Santa Monica April 3G.-The latch
string has been hung out by the Cres-
cent bay beaches-Santa Monica and
Ocean Park. Never before were these
two beaches mose interesting, more
comforting, more alluring, buster or
more attractive than now.
Gone are the times when the visitor
had nothing to occupy his attention
but to recline on the beach or merely
enioy splash in the surf. Now the
visitor can find any number Of things
to do, to see and enjoy in addition to
bathing. There are scores of novel
concessions in the joy zones of both
Santa Monica and Ocean Park, there
are mammoth not salt plunges, there
are new dance pavilions, rive mile
cement promenade brilliantly lighted
at night and traversed by electric
tram cars for the convenience of those
who do not care to walk, deep sea and
pier fishing, motoring over the finest
boulevards in the state and mountain
hiking nearby Bands give free con-
certs twice daily.
Many of the larger hotels and apart
ment houses in the Crescent bay have
been refurnished, frightened an dmade
ready for the heavy summer travel.
The fact that Santa Monica and
Ocean Park are the closest resorts to
Los Angeles, being situated only Ia
miles from the metropolis, gives them
a decided advantage over other Cali
fornia beaches. Both of these resorts
are easily accessible to all the sights
and attractions of the southland, in
cluding Mt. Lowe, and other mountain
trips, the San Gabriel mission, and as
the trip can be made to Los Angeles
by trolley or motor in thirty minutes
or less, all the attractions of the big
city can be enjoyed as ea6ly as by its
own residents.
Those who plan to spend few
weeks here this summer should buy
their railroad tickets direct to Santa
Monica. This eliminates the necessity
of rechecking baggage in Los Angeles.
There are plenty of hotels and
apartment houses to accommodate big
throngs of summer pleasure seekers,
and visitors can easily secure place
to stay that will meet their require
ments at a reasonable cost. Many
folks come here during the summer
because they feel that they can live
just as cheeply as at home and there
by escape the excessive heat and enjoy
the seaside with practically no increas-
ed expenditure.
Full information regarding the Cres-
cent bay beaches is contained in an IL
Illustrated folder, a copy of whoch will
be mailed readers of this paper writ
ing to the Santa Monica Chamber oof
Commerce.
