HANDLED 5000 LUNCHES
Friday Canteen Company Did Great
Work Decoration Day.

More than 5000 box lunches were
served by the ladies of the Friday
company of the Red Cross canteen to
the 353d men. And the lunches were
prepared and distributed to the men
on a strictly efficiency basis.
Under direct command of Mrs.
Charles S. Elliott, captain of the Fri
day company, the ladies were organ
lied and assigned particular tasks to
perform. One group was assigned to
the cutting up of the chickens. An
other group was put to opening boxes
of cakes. Another group packed the
boxes. Other groups did other things.
And when the work of one group was
finished the ladies were held at their
place of work. They were not al
lowed to move about creating confu-
sion. They merely waited for a new
task to be assigned to them.
The Friday company of the Red
Cross canteen merits unstinted praise
for it's work Memorial day.

MRS. EDNA CROW BACK
Life Insurance Woman Returns to
Topeka After Federal Service.

After more than a year in the serv-
ice of the federal government at
Washington, Mrs. Edna L. Crow, of
Topeka, who has the distinction of be-
ing one of the few life insurance wo-
men in the west, has returned to To-
peka to again engage in business.
A few years ago the industrial apd
business field for women was limited
to a very few vocations The war.
however. has brought out the fact that
the fair sex is capable of handling af-
fairs which hitherto had been man
aged only by men. The insurance field
was one of these.
Mrs. Crow, who has spent most of
her life in Topeka, has been in busi-
ness for herself for seventeen years,
the last four of which have been in the
insurance line. She is said to have
written more insurance than any other
woman solicitor in the state. Her new
plan is to take charge of a woman's
department of a company, where she
can devote all of her time to work of
this nature.
Mrs. Crow is a member of the Rota
club and the Life Underwriters asso-
