that denote a common bond of suffer
ing. and determination to alleviate
that suffering in so far as possible, the
work of Mrs. Ogden Armour of Chiea-
go is of especial interest.
Since the outbreak of the war four
years ago, Mrs. Armour has been untir-
ling in her efforts toward doing her
share. This year she has evolved an
entirely new scheme and one that
brings into play the services of at least
one thousand women and girls who are
employed in the Armour s~tockyards,
so that they, too, may lend their hand
in the relief work in which all, OF
whatever race, are interested. Not eV-
eryone realizes that the Armour ser
vice flag has more than 1000 stars, and
that, supplying the places of the men
who have responded to the call to the
~colors, are many women who are eager
to do their share for the country g
needs, even as they are periodically
taking the places of the men so that
they may go to war. Particularly 40
these women want to add their share
to the knitting supplies that will go
out to the men a the front, and for the
purpose of. aiding them in this respect
Mrs. Armour has not only supplied
them with the necessary yarn and nee
dies, but has also organized classes in
the stockyards and goes twice a week
to teach the women and girls how to
knit the various articles.
