WOMEN WANTED FOR WORK IN
FRANCE.

Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are of the cheer
full variety, are wanted for work in
the Red Cross hospital huts in
France. The cheerful disposition"
proposition is an essential requisite,
for the reason that their duty will
be to spread cheer among the boys
who arc convalescing after wounds
received on the battlefield or from
attacks of illness.
The Bureau of Personnel of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled $50 of these workers, while
443 is the number estimated as
necessary to be supplied before the
first of January 1919. The Red
Cross Commissioner to France, in a
cablegram calling for these hospital
hut workers, specifying some of the
qualifications required suggested
that the women shoscn should be
