will consist of three evenings each
week of class work indoors. and every
day the pupils or students of the home
service work will be sent out on the
actual work of investigation along the
propeS lines. The workers or would
be workers Will acquire and have
forced on them knowledge of the cor
rect and proper and most tactful
methods OF conducting an interview
and at the same time learn the vital
factS necessary before aid can be Civ
en-. The students will receive fnvalu-
able training in the actual work of re-
uer and will become accustomed to the
routine work that accompanies all in
designations of this sort

RAISE $4,000 MORE
Kansas Knights of Columbus Need
Additional Army Camp Funds.

At a Sunday afternoon meeting OF
the state officers of the knights OF
Columbus at the Throop hotel, the
Knights decided that tho they had
already raised $4,000 for the pur-
poses of war work it was not enough
Therefore an additional assessment of
$1,000 was promptly laid against the
Kansas chapters for immediate deliv-
cry.
Already there is a big recreation
hall at Camp Funston, built by the
Knights of Columbus. where nearly
every day thousands of soldiers find
some of the comforts and advantages
of the home Every Sunday morning
after church hot drinks and a light
lunch are served free to the soldiers,
no distinction being made between the
black and the white the uniform be-
ing the card of admittance. On Christ
mas day more than 2,T0O wearers of
the olive drab swarmed into the
building to enjoy a big Christmas feed.
At first the K. of c. recreation halls
were meant only for soldiers of the
Catholic faith, but this order of things
soon passed and at this time the K of
c halls are open to soldiers of every
race and creed represented in the
ranks of Uncle Sam

Sunday meeting were: NJ A QuigIey

WAR RISK BILL
r. C.. Home Service Section
VIII Explain Its Workings.
Information GIady Given All
Who Desire 1t.

The Home Service section of the To-
cal chapter of the Red Cross is now
in a position to furnish any one with
reliable information on the war FISK
insurance bill recently passed by con-
gress, it was announced by Miss Kitty
Tandy in charge of the work of this
department of the Red Cross in To-
peka-
The National Red Cross authcri-
ties have sent US all necessary infor-
nation en- this BILL" said Miss Tandy,
and our bulletins on this subject of
war insurance are complete up to this
time. Any rulings made hereafter will
be furnished US and We will be able
to give reliable and complete Informal
ton on this bill at any time in the fu-
ture."
1t is certain that every family hav-
ing a soldier or a sailor among its
members is vitality interested in the
subject of government war risk insur
ance for the fighting men, and the To-
cal Home Service section of the Red
Cross is expecting to be called on in
nuperable times to furnish the correct
Interpretation of the law.
How 1t Works
An instance of the completeness of
the interpreted is this: A private
in the ranks has a wife and two chill
dren to support. Allotment of his pay
amounts to SIS month. totally in
sufficient for the needs of the family.
But Immediately the allotment is
made, the government steps in and
gives a further allowance, called the
separation allowance, of SIS to his
wife; SO separation allowance for
the first child; and $3.50 separation
allowance for the second child This
gives the wife and two children an
income of s47.50 each month with
which to meet the family bills.
The allotment of pay is compulsory
in this case; but If the dependent
should be some other relation such as
a mother, father, or sister or brother,
and the allotment was voluntarily
made, the government might in some
cases. make a separation allowance
to thir class; of dependents.
Give Information to All.
Anyone desiring information on the
War Risk insurance law can get it by
calling on Miss Tandy at the Office of
the Home Service section of the local
Red Cross between the hours of 10
o'clock and II o'clock noon, or can
make an appointment for some other
and more convenient time.
The Home Service section is in To-
peka to serve" declared Miss Tandy,
and that is what we will do at any
and all times and in every possible
way The explanation of the insur-
ance law is the only one way in which
we serve the families of soldiers"
