NEW FACES FOR OLD.

The American Red Cross has under
taken varied tasks. These range from
darning the socks of the soldiers to
making new faces for those dstigureG
by war. Mrs. Ladd, the wife of DR..
Ladd, now doing service in Red Cross
hospitals abroad, is working In her
Paris studio making masks to cover
disfigured faces. a photograph of the
soldier showing how he looked before
being wounded is obtained and then a
mask of copper or silver is made 10 re-
semble 1t and replace the part that is
gone. This is made rs lifelike as pos
sible and held on, as u rule, with bows
behind the ears like spectacles. The
soldier cannot eat or sleep in these
masks, but he can see and breathe
through them. Sometimes a nose is
put on so lifelike that 1t cannot be de-
tected, and sometimes it is a chin or in
rare instances almost the entire face
This great humanitarian work enables

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

So many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section of
the Red Cross that few words as to
its objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims to serve
the folks at home, to bring them
nearer TO the man In the fe6, and to,
bring him nearer TO the ones at home.
Sometimes 1t means helping TO
straighten out a financial tangle, some
times help In the training Of the chill
dren, sometimes being a big brother to
a young lad who needs a bit of friend
ly counsel or advising a young wife
who may be worried about the coming
due OF the mortgage and what her
rights under the law may be.
Then, too, there are sometimes de-
lays in the mails or lost letters, and
sometimes delays in the allotment or
errors In the amount which should be
forthcoming These problems and
many others are being Strengthened
out by the Home Service Section. with
out charge to the families, and with
an efficiency which is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered
For those who are worried because
OF the non-arrlval of letters a cable is
sent inqulrlng about the mans well
fare.
In fact the Home Service Section Is
living up to It's name-it is really the
service OF those at home-it is trying
10 be the father, brother or husband

RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of REQ Cross Chapters
throughout The country in checking
the recent epidemic of Spanish Influ-
enza, the organization through its
headquarters at Washington is prepar-
ing to fight a repetition Of the expert
ence that was SO disastrous this fall,
educating the public thoroughly re-
garding the symptoms and the proper
care at the beginning of an attack. In
addition TO this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The re-
cent appropriation to the National Tu-
berculosis Association will be used for
educational as well as relief work
throughout the country.
SO much has been said about the
aftermath of the epidemic that espe-
cial attention is being given to the
work along this line. The weakness

RED CROSS SANTA TO
FILL SOLDIERS SOCKS
An Old Fashioned Celebration OF
ruIetlde for American
Soldiers in France.

Christmas tree In every ward of
every American hospital and in every
hospital recreation hut IN France
Every wounded or sick American
fighting man TO receive two socks filled
to the brim with fruits, nuts, candy
and Stokes
These are the most interesting fea-,
lures Of tentative Christmas celebra-
ton program for the American hos
pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross In France In cooperation with
the commanding officers Of our fighting
forces in that country. Details of the
plan to make Christmas as merry as
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutions have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places win
also share in the distribution of Christ
mas cheer Because OF the limited
amount of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban.
don its original plan TO send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This Is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration In every sense of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition TO the good
les mentioned above will contain a
handkerchief and a card on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared TO render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists In the Red Cross service to en-
able him to write to members of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course, will
be one of the features of the celebra-
ton. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment. motion pic
