INSTRUCTIONS TO !
RED CROSS CHAPTERS

The women of the country working
through the Red Cross are producing
enormous quantities OF Surgical Ores
sings, Hospital and Refugee Gar
ments, and other useful articles.
The production has been increas-
ing during the past year by leaps
and bounds; there is no apparent
limit to the generosity and devotion
of these Red Cross workers.
The Red Cross today is one OF
the greatest manufacturing enter
prises in the world, and the wise
direction of all this energy and en-
! thusiasm presents many serious
problems. We want every Red
Cross worker to understand the sit
uation IS It gradually deyelope3
so that we may have that that CO.
operation on the part of every one
that goes with a true understand
ing OF Red Cross aims AID purposes.
We have therefore, set down below
at some length summarized ac-
| count of the work up to the present
| time and of the problems now be-
| fore US.
/ OUR ENTRY INTO WAR

/ into the war, tho Red Cross saw the
necessity Of providing great guam
t.t.es of articles which could be
made by tho Chapter workers. such
! as Surgical Dressing. Hospital Gar
! mcnts. Knitted Comforts and the
| like. Information as to types of
hese articles was circulated through
out tho Chapters and tcL.ative es-

to be produced were relied upon in

we have set is not a visionary one,
but we have hard practical war

We are confident that every

do the utmost to promote the eff

we may continue to be the. greatest

house was filled. Washington was a
very frequent guest at the CARLYLE
mousse and one can easily imagine the
part ne played in that atmosphere of
oounteous hospitality and courtly
grace.
Tradition has it that 1t was in that
very house that Washington met one
OF MS Few defeats. On the right of
the broad hallway is what was once
a drawing room, said to have been fin
ished originally in white and gold. and
there on many occasions Washington
took an active part in the social fes-
tivities-leading many fair Virgin
| ian through the stately minuet and the
less formal reel. The hallway, itself,
If tradition be correct, has its own
sentimental interest, for it was at the
foot of the beautiful staircase of solid
mahogany that Washington awaited
the coming Of lovely Sally Fairfax
upon certain evening. and, while es-
corting her to the ballroom, offered
that lady Ills heart and was refused.
On the opposite side of this same
hall is the blue and white ROOM"
which was John Carlyle's particular
retreat or sanctum. That room is of
especial interest to us as nation. for
it was there that Washington re-
ceived his commission as a member
of General Eraddock's staff in 1855.
What Washington learned upon that
disastrous campaign against the In
| dians and with British soldiers taught
him much which later he put to good
service in behalf of his country.
Braddoek Took Possession.
When Braddock arrived he accept
ed the proffered hospitality of John
Carlyle and established headquarters
there. The little blue and white room
became the military council chamber,
and it was there that the plans were
made for the campaign. Wa.shington's
previous experience as leader of Vir-
ginia troops against the savages made
| him all the more welcome at the con-
ferences. and his keen judgment and
practical advice earned for him Brad
docks admiration and won for him his
colonelcy upon the generals staff.
We who count our dollars and make
our purchases in hard coin but little
realize the part the "vile weed" played
in all commercial transactions in Vir-
ginia $50 years ago. The fragrant
! OronOko tobacco had q fame which
reached to Europe. and this was the
common medium of exchange. The
| incense of this leaf. as it were. bought
| the English bricks with which old
Christ church in Alexandria was built
in 1913. The church was designed. so
it has been said. by one James Wren.
reputed to have been a relative of the
architect of London's famous St.
Paul's. Washington worshiped at
Christ church. History tells us that
it was within the shadow of that sa-
cred structure. after services one Sun
! day morning in the summer of 1774.
| that he earnestly advocated the renun-
citation of allegiance to the king of Eng
land. Always deliberate and intensely
devout. one can gather something of the
| spell which his words must have cast
upon his fellow churchmen upon that
occa sion.
There are many houses in Alexan-
dria today that were in their prime
when Washington was in their midst
! and closely identified with them not
only socially but officially intermit-
tently during his youth and just prior
| to his death.

Their, the first president set an eX-
ample which is being followed today
in some sections of the country with
all the acclaim of something new. The
markets which are being opened for the
purpose Of bringing the farm products
TO the consumer to the exclusion or
the middleman. are by no means a
twentieth century invention. Most
people don't know that George Wash
ington essayed truck gardening and
the maintenance of market wagon
to the no small blessing but the So
cial dismay, Of some Alexandrians, but
it is fact
We read so much of the grooming
board" steaming joints of luscious
fare of all sorts in the days Of colo
NAL plenty, that we think the period
a time of feasting and unlimited album
dance. and recall but few Of the hard
ships, of which there were many. 1t
was to provide variety and to make
his neighbors more satisfied with their
lot that Washington sent his market
wagon Just once in so often to Alex
andria loaded with the products of
the farmyard and The field of Mount
Vernon. History does not tell us
whether Washington reached the
hearts of his associates more speedily
by the short route Of their stomaohs,
but there is no doubt that his wise
forethousht brought him both graft
tude and substantial reward.
The Cart Goes to Town.
Old Parson Weems, who has chatted
so clibly about life in Alexandria, tells
rs thot there was a time there when
tho town had more reason to boast OF
its beauty than its capacity to glad
den the inner man. To quote that rev.
erend chronicler:
The neighborhood of Belle Haven
(such was AleXaudria's early name)
was not n desert on the contrary II
was in many places Il garden spot
ornnnding with Injuries. But its IN
bohitonts. the wealthy were not wise
