RED CROSS NOTES.
Gulf Women Keep Bureaus On
Jump For Material.

BY MRS. CATHERINEH H. MOBERLY
Director Woman's Bureau)
The Gulf Division is having
great difficulty securing gauze
and other materials used in the
making of surgical dressings,
hopital garments and refugee
clothing in sufficient quality to
meet the rapid rate of production
of the chapters of the past three
months.
The volume of finish dressings
reflects the determination OF the
organization to be ready in ad-
vance for whatever demands may
fall upon the Red Cross. Results
| of all of this enthusiastic work
| is that we have finally reached
a point where for the time, in
spite of our attempt to regulate
the volume the rate of pr oduction
is out-stripping our ability to Sc
cure the needed materials.
The Department of Supplies
in Washington is working in close
cooperation with the Govern
ment, to see that regular allot-
ments of materials are secured
for Red Cross Work.
All orders are in hands of the
manufacturers and are promised
equal attention with similar
orders from the government. The
factories which are to make these
materials are having difficulty in
securing the raw materials, that
is, the products from which
these materials are made. The
making of all materials will be
rushed, but it is clear that Wash
ington will still face a delay OF
about four weeks before the re-
gular allotments will be coming
in from the factories.
The present plans is that by
July 1st, each chapter in the
Division will receive their month
| " allotment in Surgical Dressings
Hospital Garments, Refugee
Clothing and Knitted Articles.
In making this monthly allotment
to each chapter, we are going tc

DRASTIC LIQUOR LAW IN Eff.
Feet.

Meridian Star: The most
drastic liquor law ever enacted
by any state went into effect last
Monday, May rs and it makes il
unlawful to even have liquor in
possession. It absolutely
re moves the one quart provision
that has shielded many, and i
must hereafter be absolutely out
of sight and out of mind.
Not only does this make it un-
lawful for persons or common
carriers, in any manner whatso-
ever, to ship or import any in
toxicating liquor in any quantity
into the state, but makes it un-
lawful for any person to possess
any portables in any quantity.
No property rights of any kind
exist in intoxica ing liquors ac-
cording to the law or in any
fixtures, furniture or vehicles,
conveyances, boats or vessels,
kept or used for violating any
laws of the United States.
This section was designed to
stop the importation of liquors
into Mississippi by automobiles
and boats, and officers of the
law are Empowered to seize any
conveyance used in the traffic
which will be sold they have
been condemned by due legal
process.
Violations of any provision of
the law is punishable by a fine
of not less than $500 or more
than $500, or,by Imprisonment of
not more than thirty days or by
both.
Exceptions are made in the
cases of ministers who Keep
wine for sacramental purposes
and of physicians, dentists.
druggists and medical and phar-
maceutical colleges and hospitals
whose business requires grain

not be allowed to stray away
from there.

Piney Woods Institute. Brax-
ton, Miss, May 25, 1918 Mrs.
Ira Shields, Brandon, Miss.
Dear Madam: / have just re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. W. E.
Mcintyre OF your city, stating
that he had requested you to
help us out in organizing our
colored woman Of the Piney
Woods School into a Red Cross
auxiliary to do sewing and knit
ting and help raise funds for our
poor soldiers who are on the
battle field. We would like so
much to take up this work al
though we have been doing
something in a general way for
nearly a year now. Yet we feel
that we can be so much more
effective if we are organized I'M
der the Red Cross society. The
women of course will continue to
do their work here at the school
and will then send it to you or
your chapter for inspection.
This Mothers Club Of the Piney
Woods School consists of about
forty five members and though
many of them are as poor as
they can be. they have already
pledged them selves to give five
dollars a peace in June in four
payments and just recently as
you perhaps know, they raised
fifty dollars for this same work.
Now if you can let us know
when you might come or if you
cannot do that, if you will advise
us the necessary steps to take to
become an auxiliary to the Red
Cross work we will consider it a
a great privilege for to work for
ones country, and for the boys
who are trying to hold up its
highest ideals surely no woman
could want a more blessed work.
On every hand my women of
color are asking me to arrange
for them an opportunity to do
something in this great cause
for humanity and am sure if
these auxiliaries can be formed
among the negro women out in
the rural sections of the state of
Mississippi that many dollar
which has not found its way to
the Red Cross and many a pair
of socks and suits of garment
will be sent in by these poor
black women with loyal hearts
for their countrys need in time
of distress.
Very respectfully.

WASTING MILLIONS

The work Of the Federal Trade
commission has been peculiarly I'm.
fortunate and mischevious.
First it has never defined what It
was created to ascertain and promul-
gate-what is fair trade?
Thirty charges of unfair trade con-
ditions were brought before 1t and
1t had to dismiss them as false.
II nothing but false charges could
be presented to 1t what good could
come Of its activities?
So to get busy and to make a
showing for the millions it was
spending it started slangwhanging

for months to prejudice the public

meats to the soldiers in the army
cantonments and to our troops over
