Red Cross Clippings is the title of a small paper published in Philadel- phia, to help make the work of the Pennsylvania division efficient and fur ther the usefulness of the American Red Cross in war and civilian relief. Here are two intensely interesting items from it's publication of March 90, which will make every member of the American Red Cross proud of this mar velous organization and more anxious than ever to work for it:
 Home Service Grows.
 Like young David Copperfeld, home service has 'growed out O knowledge since the first of the year. At the end of January, home service sections in the Pennsylvania division were giving help of one kind and another to more than 2,000 soldiers and sailors fam lilies, and at the. end of February the number of families had increased to 4,5OO.
 ''This increase in numbers is, in a way, a measure of the increase of con fidence in the ability of the Red Cross to help solve family problems, and it also shows that the Red Cross is prov ing worthy of the confidence and reli- ance that soldiers and their families place in them. The following letter to the division director of civilian relief shows how Red Cross home service workers are helping to keep up the spirit of the men in the army:
 "'Just line to let you know that I received your letter, notifying me that the - Red Cross would look after my wife and children, which takes a load off my shoulders and makes me look at my duties and the future with a brighter eye, eager to strike the foe and win, knowing that no matter what happens my family will not suffer through my not waiting to be called. If had been single would have been in it at the start, but I guess there's

Hats of Fabric

Fabrics are greatly used by the mil liners, and whole hats, crowns ani brims are fashioned of geOrgette crepe chiffon, satin, tulle or whatever tht designer happens to fancy. GeOrgett, and crepe de chine are, perhaps. mort used than any of the other materials, always excepting nets and laces, and a hat entirely covered with crepe and showing straw only in the facing of the brim is sometimes untrimmed, save for drapery and a knot of the crepe. Lovely cOlOred silks are used for the draped tOques which are so much in vogue.

lots of fun yet. So thanking you again for the promptness you have shown, I will close with best wishes to you and the work you have undertaken.
 Sincerely yours,
 "PRIVATE ROBERT DUNCAN. A Worried Soldier Is a Poor Soldier.
 Soldiers have bodies that get cold; therefore they need sweaters; they get hurt or sick, therefore they need surgi- cal dressings; but they have also minds and hearts that center on the folks back home; they become anxious and discouraged about the welfare of wives, children, mothers, brothers, sis ters. A worried soldier is a poor sol dier,' says General Pershing. The Red Cross can help to keep up the morale of the men by protecting and aiding their families"

"Amerlca, My
Country"

The program Of music at the
patriotic service at the First Congre-
gationaI church last Sunday includ-
ed the great hymn by Jens K. Gron-
dahl entitled, America. MY Coun-
try.
It is considered BY many COM
petent judges the greatest patriotic
song-poem OF the war. Some have
hailed ii as the new National anthem.
It received the applause Of congress
when Hon. Isaac Siegel Of New York
quoted Ii In his patriotic speech at
one OF the tensest moments in AM
erican history, On the day war was
declared just one year age. The Ma
tiOnal Editorial association sang IL
at Red Wing and Minneapolis.

simply in construction, the themes
being clearly defined and easily fol-
lowed, and being based on Russian
folk songs. The slow second move
ment is especially lovely. having an
oriental note, and the sprtghtly
scherzo movement is harmonious
and full Of verve. Kalinnikow's work
shows no traces of the melancholy
that distinguishes his more famous
countryman, Tschaikowsky, but it is
fresh, vigorous and normal.
The opening number was an over
ture, "Carneval" by Dvorak which
labors under the handicap Of being a
'descriptiye" number, supposedly
representing the emotions of lonely
wanderer reaching at nightfall, q
city where a carnival of pleasure
reigns. 1t is alternately brilliant and
meiodious.
The orchestra gave a brilliant rem
dering Of the beautiful overture to
"Mignon" which features the ex-
quisite aria, "Dost Thou Know, That
Fair Land?" and which drew a well
merited encore. The orchestra re-
sponded with Westerhout's 'Rondo
d'Amour." tuneful and sprightly.
The other orchestra number was a
bizarre Spanish caprice by Rimsly-
Korsakow. which closed the program,
and which also brought an encore,
for which the orchestra gave rous-
ing patriotic medley,

Mr.. Dadmun has q baritone voice
OF rather unusual range and reson-
ance. and Gounod's stirring Vulcan
Song was given a quite adequate
rendition. His encore number was
very evidently OF recent compost
ton. 1t was a war song Of quite
unusual merit, and one that doubt
less will become popular with con-
cert singers. Judging from its re-
ception last evening.
Miss Schultz displayed a rich and

The Minneapolis Symphony
OrcheStrd---An Appreciation

Down ins Minneapolis, where the
symphony orchestra is viewed on the
one extreme as a kind Of brass band
adjunct to the Civic and Commerce
association useful for advertising,
and on the other extreme as a. sacred
altar on which incense is offered up
Friday evenings and Sunday az
ternoons, Mr.. Oberhoffer and his ex-
cellent organization get much more
adequate consideration at the hands
OF the ticket buyers. and perhaps
audiences containing fewer people
inclined to chat over the days
activities during the numbers, than
they received in Fargo last evening
for the first OF three concerts.
But they should not take the idea
from that, that an opportunity to
hear a real symphony occasionally,
is not mama to smaller communities
that have to so on half rations must
cally.
About fifteen years ago, Minnea-
polls decided she must have a SYM
phony orchestra. much in the spirit
that a brand new millionaire de-
cfdes to have a library. But year
after year the orchestra has shown
steady. substantial progress, while
year after year Minneapolis has
shown a corresponding growth in
genuine musical appreciation, and
the city now evinces a willingness
to share its pleasures.
Consequently If Minneapolis is
willing to 90 into debt $4,000 a year
for its orchestra, mostly because il
wishes to share the orchestra with
smaller cities, it is entitled to a
measure of gratitude and rather
more encouragement than it re-
ceived last evening.
Is SeoreIess Conductor.
Mr.. Oberhofrer has joined the
ranks Of the scoreless conductors.
Except for the accomplishments to
the soloists. he did not use a score
last evening, playing even the Kahn
nikow symphony without its aid.
He also is deserving OF special
commentator for the manner In
which he played THE Star Spangled
Banner" 1t is not an entry march
or an introduction with him, but part
OF the evenings program, and It Isl
given the consideration it deserves.
The Kalinnikow symphony, which
was the piece de resistance OF the
musical menu. is a comparatively
new work. 1t was published about
1900, its brilliant young composer
dying In 1901. it was not until
about FIVE years ago that the sym.
phony, the greater of his two COM
positions in this form. was known in
America. The New York orchestra
used il frequently on its western
tour two years ago. and Mr.. Ober-
hotter has been giving it we'll merited
attention.
