A PROCLA NATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

The American Rcd Cross appeals to
all the people of West Virginia to en-
roll as members. Its Christmas roll
call Will b. sounded first on December
l6th--thc PRESENT month. Twenty-Five
million Americans have already Joined
the Grra; Mercy OrE:uizItinn---We.I
EirEinianS constitute far proportion
Of that membership. but there are thou
sands who have not yet honorcd them
selves by enrolling.
The fact that there is an armisticc
with the Tculonic powers does not mean
there Is no longer work for the Red
Cross. Our soldiers are still in Europe,
and may be there many long and weary
months. Some of them are in the frozen
regions Of Russia. They need the Rcd
Cross.
The home work is urgent. Tubcrcu-
lUSiS. the Great White Plague. is ever
with us. Join the Red Cross and he a
soldier in the warfare against the mon
stcr that takes. annually. a huge toll
Of human lives.
Many communities recently stricken
by influenza are to-day thanking tho
Red Cross and its volunteer nurses for
their ifc-saring work but recently I'm
ishcd. Their services may be needed
again at any moment.
our brave soldiers and those Of the
Allies have freed the l'"iEians and the
population OF Northern France. Free
dom must be followed by hunger. by de-
spair and death il the Red Cross does
not go To their aid. no you want 10 aid
in that work Of rehabilitation"
Then join the Rcd Cross. BE ready
to answer the Christmas roll call when
first sounded, December 18th. L9iH.

A FEW years ago when you said
~ motor toys to a woman your
words conveyed the impression
OF a pongee top coat ingeniously con-
trived TO keep the dust from going up
her sleeves or down her neck, a hat
that lacked nothing OF feminine charm
though it was designed to stick on the
head in spite of strong wind, and a
veil that was sunproof. windproof,
moistureproof and dustproof-guar-
anteed to bring its wearer to the end
OF her journey with a complexion that
was as fresh and fair as that with
which she started.
And now what does motor toggery
mean?
Z Why, to the woman whose heart is
in the right place-that right place
being entirely and undoubtedly in the
war-Inotor buds now mean a service
uniform of breaches and coat, a heavy
overcoat and a macintosh. a pair OF
cleaning overalls. a pair of chauffeur's
gloves, a not at all feminine cap. stout
boots and puttees. Veil? OF course
not. And she wouldn't think of carry
ing In her kit the jar of cold cream and
rose peta! rouge and other first aids to
motorists compilations that used to be
there in other years. If she had any
first aid kit at all it would contain
handages and Testoratives for possible

The fact is that in England women
have gone into motoring in very
serious way. The woman chauffeur
and motor driver is as important a
parsonage as the land army girl OF as
the Red Cross nurse herself. Driving
n car Is a mans work in that II calls
for heavy muscular cXertion: it is not
one that a woman would naturally
quarrel with YOU for not letting her
20 into in times of peace. but the
women in England have shown them
selves admirably able to carry on in
this line and the women of America
, are. rapidly going to follow suit. OF
course no one can tell how soon II
will be a patriotic necessity for women
TO supplant men as chauffeurs to such
a great extent as they have already
supplanted men elevator operators, for
instance.
But il the war lasts many months
longer there will be a job for every
girl or woman who can prove herself
able 10 run a car. and there may he
special appeals TO women to perfect
themselves In this line OF work. II
was only a few months ago that
women were taken on exclusively in
one of the large city hospital systems
in London, and now the work is re-
garded as highly patriotic and is
sought after by young women who
have TO interest in the pound a week
