A group of merchants acting with the New York Chapter of the Red Cross have orga anized a real transpor- tation service. They have arranged a free delivery of all supplies from the Chapter warehouse to the 462 Auxil- iaries of the Chapter. and will also collect from the Auxiliaries finished articles packed and ready for ship ment to the warehouse.
 Call cards have been issued which will notify the warehouse to call at the auxiliary for merchandise. The supplies are to be delivered or the finished products called for at hours when the Auxiliary is not officially open. This is an important point, as truckmen with fifty or more daily de hveries and calls to make cannot pos stbly arrange to call at definite hours. When the Auxiliary is closed for the time being, it is requested that a large sign notifying truckmen where to deliver or call for the goods, be displayed conspicuously Packages must be ready correctly marked and addressed, the day before the wagon is to call. The following firms have undertaken this patriotic work: R. H. Macy &o Co.,, James McCreery & Co.,. Lord & Taylor. Stern Bros, Park S5 Tilford, John Wanamaker, James A. Hearn &, Sons, Acker. Merral1 & Condit Co. and Birdsalls Express Co

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Capability allied with sympathetic understanding form the chief re- quis1tes or the woman who wishes to take up government hospital work, according to Mrs. l.. $. Higbee, chief of the Navy Nurse Corps a Washing ton. Mrs. Higbee thinks that smiles and a sweet disposition have their place in the good work, but training in hospital work she ranks far above anything of that kind.
 "A girl may have f1ickering dimp1es in her cheeks and the features of a movie queen" said Mrs. Higbee; "she may be able to fluff up a, pillow or write home to a mans family, but she must also know how to dress his wounds, causing the minimum of pain, and must know how to move a frac- tured limb withut wrenching the new ly set bones apart
 One might consider that the sick sailor is the sole responsibility of a member of the Navy Nurse Corps. No, indeed; her work is limitless. She must be prepared to mother the sick little native urchins on the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean, and also to mother the parents, who are nothing more than children of a larger stature. She must be 3, trained executive, able to instruct the sailors assigned to the Navy Hospital Corps, Inexhaustible patience and tact are the priceless possessions of a teacher. The navy nurse co-operates with the doctor in transforming the sailor boy into a hospital attendant.
 "Whenever the United States, through the medium of the navy, Is managing the affairs of a people, the navy nurse must establish herself. Her relation to the community is that of a social service worker"

HARLAN ON NEW BRITAIN.

Kenneth Harlan, when he was in- terViewed by a magazine correspond ent some time ago, said he owed much to New Britain, and much more to the Lyceum Theater for the ad- vance he has made in the movie world, for it was here where he re- ceived his preliminary training and greatest encourage ement,
 He will be seen at the Lyceum next Monday supporting J. Warren Kerri- gan in that master production "A Mans Man.. After all is said about a picture the main thing about it is the story and no picture can be called a success unless it can compel one to summon all of the emotions to follow the incidents photogra phed on the screen. Here then, is this picture of "A Mans Man" is the phOtodrama climax of the year. It appeals and clutches the observer from it's very beginning. Imagine anything more ex- citing than the adventures of an American in a quarrel ridden South American republic. Add to that his high strung nature for the love of justice, his great love for religion, but he does hate his enemies and takes revenge on them. Then there unfolds d beautiful story of lOve--all in one great picture.
 As this picture will only be shown for three days beginning Monday, you will have to come real" early or miss the climax picture of the year, and HOur last chance to see Kenneth liar Ian, for he has joined the American colors to fight a real fight for honor, in e,ti cp q nd 1ibprtv

Water Is Found
in Milk Samples

o. F. Mullen, city milk inspector,
took fifteen farmers by surprise this
morning at the Westside dairy. as they
were bringing their milk there for sale
A pint OF milk was taken from each OF
the farmers, and after being tested It
was found that two OF the specimens
contained much water City Chemist
Clifford is now testing the milk for
other impurities.
There is absolutely no excuse for an
offense Of this kind, mixing water with
the milk; in fact there is no excuse for
any kind of impure milk during this
age" said Mr.. Mullen
Every man who sells milk must
have his COWS examined for tubercu-
losis before a license can be issued him,
The license must be renewed before the
first of next month and every farmer
should now be having his cows ex-
smined and bring TO the city chemist a
cows health certificate from any vet

anyone who buys milk must have VI

were more rigidly enforced, fewer
