WEIGHING OF BABIES A BIG
SUCCESS

The committee of the Council Of
National Defense is very proud of
the cooperation of the Algiers
mothers in the weighing of the
babies on Monday. Fully seventy
five per cent of the children under
six years were weighed on that day.
Arrangements have been made with
the Child's Welfare Station at the
Court House, Algiers to remain open
from nine until three the balance of
the week to weigh all children who
make application. There will be
a committee of ladies to assist the
very obliging nurse. Miss Curtis 1t
Is hoped that the mothers will take
advantage of this opportunity and
put Algiers in the one hundred per-
cent class
The Committee also takes this OPP
portunity to thank the mothers and
the workers at the different stations
I for their splendid work on that day.

ALGIERS BRANCH A. R. c.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Algiers Branch, A. r. c., will be
held Monday, the Goth instant, at
1880 p. m, in the Knights Of Column
bus Hall. All Branch members are
urged to be present.
We are in receipt of a letter from
New Orleans Chapter, A. r. c., from
which we extract the following para
graphs, which are self-explanatory
and to which we call the public's at
tention:
The Red Cross is increasing in
need of volunteers for service abroad.
In order to give an opportunity for
such service to members in the juris-
diction of the New Orleans Chapter
and to assist the Gulf Division In OBJ
tanning applications, the executive
committee earnestly requests the CO
operation of the branch organizations.
Volunteers are now needed IN
the Male Department as execu-
tives, secretaries. auditors, accOunt-
ants, bOokkeepers, clerks, stenogra<
piers, motor truck drivers, auto
mobile mechanics, electricians, pack
ers, moving picture operators, chap
lains, social workers, journalists, me-
chanics. etc
'In the Woman's Department the
need is for bookkeepers stenogra-
pliers, office clerks, social workers,
canteen and other women workers.
mo aliens will be enrolled, and
it is much preferred that applicants
do not have German names. No one
will be enrolled in Red Cross service
who is within the draft age, unless
he has been exempted from military
service on account of physical de-
feet.
while the demand Is principally
for workers abroad, there is some
room for workers at National Head
quarters, and applications may be re-
ceived for these positions.
Most Of these positions will in
clude travelling and living expenses,
but IL is hoped that volunteers OF
independent means will agree to pay
their own expenses"

positions can do so either

The entertainment was great
success and the attendance was one
of the largest seen on the grounds
in many years. The lodge antici-
pates another surprise on July 4th.
Among the principal features of
the evening were the patriotic
speeches on labor and the Third
Liberty Loan. Aug. Bloom, chair

The Woman's Committee, State Council of De-
Defense, Continues to Do Splendid Work
The Child Welfare Work Is Well Under Way
Mrs. J. Ogden Armour Is Cheerfully Doing Her
Bit In That Direction

cit is more dangerous to be a baby
in England than it is to be a soldier in
France. England is plaearded with
this statement. France estimates that
every child is worth $4O0 besides its
support. In the third year of the wal
all the Allied nations have realized the
necessity of vigorous child welfare cam
paign as war measures.
Illinois must fall in step. This was
the message of the first meeting of the
new child welfare committee Of the
Women s Committee, @. N. d. The first
step seems to be birth registration. The
lack of it has already caused a great
deal of confusion and injustice in the
working out of the seleetive draft. In
January, 1917, a campaign was started
by DR.. Violet Palmer Brown, of the
Illinois Federation of women's Clubs,
who sent out a letter to 1900 state
physicians. The only town which she
found had 100 per cent birth registra-
ton was Ottawa, Ill, and it has
woman registrar. The woman's Com
mittee, Illinois Council of Defense, is
sending to everyone of its county chair
men a letter asking them to start n
birth registration campaign in their
community. The first step will be to
make a map showing the number of
births and the infant mortality of the
past year. Then it is hoped to get
community nurses in every community
in Illinois. Already the State Fedora
ton of Clubs has secured 90 nurses.
Special courses will be arranged for
physicians in infant welfare work, in
order that there may be infant welfare
clinics all over the state, and Mrs. Ida
Couch Wood Is arranging for a special
course for nurses. The committee feels
that there is no more important war
work than this and that it will be Grim
inally negligent to shirk a duty which
the Allied nations, after three years of
bitter experience, have found so impor-
tant.

The Woman's Committee, in the two
short months in which Mrs. Charles

For the work that is ahead of it, it must

vocATIoNs FOE BLIND SOLDIERS

Shortly after the war began, ST
(then Mr. Cyril Arthur Pearson, Baro
net, President of the National Insti
tute for the Blind, organized the Blind
Soldiers and Sailors Care Committee
to take in hand the men who had giver
their sight for freedom, and to put then
on their feet. The Blind Soldiers and
Sailors Care Committee took steps i'm
mediately after it had been organized
to find a suitable building to establish
an institution for housing and training
blinded fighters Careful inquiries led
to the selection of est. Dunstan So
large, commodious house set in the
midst of fifteen acres of beautiful
grounds.
The first thing a blinded warrior
learns when he goes to st. Dunstan g
is to read Braille with his finger tips.
1t is surprising how quickly he masters
the system. Some Of the men make
more rapid progress than others, though
nearly every one is able to read BraiIle
quite rapidly after six or seven weeks
practice. The secret of success lies in
the Institute employing blind instrue-
tors to teach the blind. / found that
many of these teachers were working
without any recempense whatever, and
number of them were women.
Sir Arthur Pearson s secretary told
me that they were also teaching blind
ed warriors to be telephone operators
and divers. He said that great empha-
sis was laid upon the advisability of
every man acquiring some trade that
would make him independent of char
Ity. Men who learn to read and write
Braiile or study stenography or mas
age IN the morning, spend the after
loon in one of the workshops, on the
'Oultry farm, or at gardening or net
ing. Those who engage in some man.
lal occupation in the forenoon undergo
manual training in the afternoon. Thus

side of Cook County with an appeal for
funds. Each chairman will have a
week to collect as much money as she
possibly can, and then will return the
squares to Miss Isadore Burroughs, sec
rotary of Mrs. Armour's unit. With
each square goes a copy Of the com
pleted map. The second map will be
sent to clubs, church societies, etc, in
Cook County, and there will be the
greatest rivalry as to which map col
lects the most money, and which can be
put together first. The maps will be
completed in the waiting room of Mar
shall Field s, and will later be exhibit
ed in one of the show windows and
eventually sold to the highest bidders.
There will be a British day when the
British front is placed together; a Bel
gian day, a French day, and an italian
day. Copies of the big war map viii be
autographed by prominent people and
sold at Marshall Fields and through
Miss Isadore Burroughs. There will also
be on sale an attractive little emblem
a small Sammy's helmet suspended by
red, white and blue ribbon. A similar
emblem, called Tommie 3 helmet, is
very much in vogue in England. The
last two days of the exhibition will be
Illinois and Chicago day. The names
of the units contributing will be writ
ten around the map.
The fact that at any time the ma
tional government may call upon the
Woman's Committee of Illinois for
some great patriotic work makes it i'm
perative to have a full treasury. In a
national emergency the women of Hi
nois could be modified in twenty-four |
hours. At the present time, the Wom-
an s Committee is training the women |
of Illinois to conserve food, fuel, cloth
ing, and the money spent in postage,
work, etc, to do this work,
is fully compensated for by the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars saved for
the Government. The Speakers Com
mittee is combating pro-Germanism
and paeiist doctrines by sending
trained speakers to women 3 audiences
in all parts of the state. Every one of
the l02 counties of Illinois has had one
DR. more speakers sent out by the wom-
ans Committee. 1t is acting as an en-
