The Maker of Bandages
Red Cross Workers Solve in One Minute the
Mystery of the Stony Hearted
Mrs. Britt

A diamond Ia not the hardest thing
in the world. A diamond will cut
glass and bore through case hardened,
tempered chrome steel, but glass and
steel-the diamond itself too-are soft
compared to some things. The hardest
thing in the world is hard woman.
Mrs. Britt was such woman.
l have seen hard women in my time,
smiled seldom, and when she smiled it
was like the glitter of ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as If she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
In the morning, the last to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was a
worker-a hard worker-no one would
dispute. Efficiency, as you'd suppose,
was n trait of Mrs. BIRTHS.
Are Efficient Women Hsrd7
Efficiency-dreadfu word thatl How
often hard women are efficientl How
often efficient woman are hard She
was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
came In at the door she had her hat
and jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim,
austere and hard-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
Of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, duty But, then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and wemanly and gentle
the exact opposite She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
at the work table, her mouth CULVER
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
In her eyes The bandages that came
from her were often soiled and rum
pied, poorly sewn, too, by her poor lit
tie trembling fingers. 1t was won

Again and again what she turned In
had to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall hint that she was more
OF a burden than a help. The hearts
of all those women ached with woman
ly pity for the poor, stricken mother
Once in awhile, though, in her corner
at the back Of the room Mrs. Britt
would turn around and throw a glance
at her. The glance was as hard as
r,,cks-harder, in fact.

By MAMMALIAN FOSTER
OF the VigiIantes,

His picture was in the locket she
wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at It, Sometimes, heI
face wistful, she would show 1t to the
other workers, voicing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged holloway in her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlow's Oldest
daughter came hurrying in. Her face
was white. She had just learned that
the Rainbow division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. FarlOw rose, her face tragic.
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile of
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares
for Triangulars No 10.
The room instantly was in confu.
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that is, every one
out Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
FarlOw, still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure In the
corner was plugging away as mechan-
lcally and methodically as ever. The
one glance she threw over her Shout
der at the weeping woman was almost
cOntemptuous.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; a heart
less one, too, 1t was agreed.
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. 1t was un-
derstood that in her grief and appre-
hension she was III In bed. Then one
afternoon, pallid and quivering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit
fully when the others gathered about
her, Let me work." she appealed
plaIntively, Work may help me not
to think"
Her Bandages Worthless.
She took bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work of it, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast and the bandage slipped from
her hands. ~ can't-oh, l can'tr she
wept
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three or
four days later. A week later the
mother wandered In again. BY now
the first of the troops were in the
trenches, and her pale, transparent
face was like wraith's. She took a
bandage; she tried to sew, and for a
third time Mrs. Farlow gave in.
"Oh, my boy, my boyr' she walled.
The next instant face was thrust
into hers. The face was Mrs. BIRTHS,

The Calfornian's were deployed as a rear guard opposing the advance of the Seventy ninth toward the sea coast.
 Battle formations were taken up by the brigade when it's advance guard came in contact with the patrols of the Californians and for while the rattle of blank cartridge rifle fire was heavy all along the occupied line. No de- cision as to which force gained the ad- vantage in the clash was given out.
 The brigade marched from Camp kearny to a point near La Jolla, where late today it encamped for the night. Tomorrow it will march to Del Mar. working out another problem on the way.

BOYS WORKING
 RESERVE PLAN
 FUR SOUTHS|DE

In the interest of the Boys Working reserve, Lindley B. Orme, state d- rector of the reserve, and Dwight B. Heard, chairman of the State Council of Defense, accompanied by Professors Carpenter and Johnson of the local high school, made tour of the South side schools yesterday.
 With the croWning success of the Boys Working reserve and food bat talions of the Phoenix Union High school last summer, it was decided to make an effort to enlist the boys of the Southside in the commendable work. Having this idea in mind, the party visited the schools of Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Lehi and also the normal at Tempe. At each school the party was warmly received and the closest attention was given to the talks which were made. The keen interest taken in the work is shown by the 100 per cent membership in the reserve with which the schools re- sponded.
 At each school visited Mir. Orme spoke on the necessity of food produc- tion and the utilization Of boy power He told of the work the boys already had done in this valley and elsewhere and of the vast amount of work that
 
 Heard gave an inspirational address on the necessity of the boys at home backing up the boys at the front Mr Carpenter and Mir. Johnson spoke on the plans of the reserve. for this year and took the membership of. the schools.
 Graduation Credit
 An effort will not be made to organ iZe the pupils of these schools into food battalions, but individual work will be recognized by the reserve. The boys are asked to assist in productive work on either their fathers ranches or that of relatives or neighbors, and the same credit and honor will be given them as though they were members of d bat talion. The Phoenix High school of fers d credit towards graduation to any boy who assists in productive work during the summer, and it is likely that the Southside schools will do the same. The number of boys already en- rolled in the reserve in the following schools is as follows: Phoenix. PAS; Tempe, 35; Lehi, 3; Gilbert, g; Chand- Ter, IS, and Mesa, 125,
 Either today or tomorrow question naries will be distributed among the business men of the city asking them how many boys between the ages of 16 and 21 years they have in their em- ploy and if they could and will employ girls or younger boys in their places during the summer. In this way it is hoped to obtain a large number of re- cruits for the reserve who would be willing to help in producing the neces- sities of life.
