WOMEN DISCUSS
ice PROBL. EMS
Find it Impossible TO Preserve
Food Without More Frequent
Deliveries Than Now Made.
ICE BONES FAR TOO SMALL
Dealers Blame Labor Shortage for
Curtainling OF PrOduct-Meet
Tonight TO Talk Plans.

rs is impossible for housekeep-
ers to properly preserve food in
their hom IS without ice delivery
every other day" is the burden OF
a motion put and adopted by a
body of women meeting yesterday
afternoon, assembled at the Y. w.
c. A. at the call of the local wo-
mans committee council of ma
tional defense.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of discussing informally
pro and con the ice situation as it
applies to Rock Island and to ar
rive if possible at some solution
of the trouble that has arisen here
with reference to ice delivery as
well as prices asked for the pro-
duct. The fact was brought out
that almost without exception ice
boxes are far too small to hold
enough ice to last from Friday to
Monday, the plan of delivery re
Gently adopted by ice dealers, with
the result that food cannot be pre-
served properly. The fact was
also brought out that the govern
ment is calling upon the women Of
the land to engage actively in
child welfare campaign and the
state of Illinois has asked its wo-
men to save the lives of 5000 chill
dren in the state in the next year.
This work is to be taken up &C
lively in Rock Island with the
opening of the fall school term
when every effort will be put for
ward to preserve the health and
lives of children. The women ar
que that this effort on their part
is useless unless the mothers of
/ the children can procure suffi-
cient ice to preserve the milk and
food for the babies and small chill
dren. 1t is these who suffer most
as a result of the three days de-
| livery plan, therefore the women
argue the plan is unpatriotic and
som definite action should be tax
en- to remedy it.
Investigate Trouble.
Investigations conducted by the
women reveal the fact that there
! is sufficient ice to meet all de-
mands, but that the trouble may
| be laid largely to the shortage OF
labor in delivering the product
/ However, the fact was also brought
( out that daily delivery of ice is
conducted in both Davenport and
Moline, and they question the lack
( of labor here where drivers OF
wagons receive as high as $50 d
week in wages.
! The subject of charges for ice
was also discussed informally, but
this phase of the situation will be
taken up more in detail this even
; ing when the women Will m et
} with representatives from the Ice
companies Of the city at the Rock
Island club.

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN.

Shortly after Americas en-
trance into the world conflict.
the American Red Cross. through
it's War Council appointed by TIE
President. asked of the Ameri-
can people one hundred million
dollars as their first contribution
to the war fund. At that time,
the people of Smith county were
called upon to contribute their
share of the money. Within a
short time that money contribut
ed will have been expended !;
and, in order to carry on this
tremendous work of humanity,
rbe President has designed the
week of May Goth, 1918, as Red
Cross week. during which the
people will be appealed to fol.
another hundred million dollar
contribution. A campaign will
be made of this county during
that week to inspire and stimu-
late the public to give and give
generously to this great need.
1t is our patriotic duty.
With the knowledge the peo-
pie now have of the workings of
the Red Cross, it should be an
easy matter for Smith county to
raise our quota. The Courier has
invested in liberty bonds and
contributed to the Red Cross
and Y. Nj. c.. A. funds; more
literally, however, to the Red
Cross, believing it to be one of
the most appealing causes be-
fore the people today. And the
Courier is ready now to do its
part in the coming campaign in
the way Of giving both money
and publicity to the Red Cross.
Its military as we'll as it's hu-
manitarian value is unquestioned,
and its mission of mercy is far
reaching. Besides, we can talk
Red Cross without connecting it
with Anericanism and patriot
ism. Let US all do our part IN
the coming campaign and we
will raise our share without
burdening any one. Whatever
necessary demands are made in
behalf of the boys who go to be
net " the people at home.
