zen, Jr., for the East on Tuesday, in
The interest of the new Paris Toilet
Company, Mr.. Robt. L>Muray has
taken direct and immediate charge
of the Warren Jewelry Company as
manager, etc. The fact that this
arrangement would be effective, was
previously announced in this paper.
y Mr. Warren left Tuesday for New
York, Philadelphia, and will return
via Chicago. One of the principal
details of the trip in the interest Of
newly organized Paris Toilet Com
pany will be the placing of a contract
with an advertising agency to handle
the advertising copy with the news
rapcrs and magazines for the new
company. 1t is understood the Lord
& Thomas agency of Chicago will
more than likely be selected to han
d!c the advertising. This is the sec
ond largest advertising counsellor
firm in the United States, and from
years Of experience in handling big
advertising copy, the new toilet COM
pany here should he able to shop off"
with immediate results from its ad-
vartising under their objection.
The success of the new companJ,
It may be said, is wholly dependent
upon the merchandising of the pro-
duets by means of advertising, back
ed of course by the merits Of the
goods. Therefore, it has been a
wise policy of Manager Warren and
the directors of the concern to select
an advertising counsellor that is the
best.
Mr.. Warren will be gone some ten
days. He is accompanied by MIS-.

c. E. LOVETT OF
ARC. TALKS HERE
Appears Before Executive Commit
tee and Department Heads OF
Local A. R. c. Chapter.

Mr.. c. E. Lovett from the Nation
al A. R. c. Southern Division, Allan
ia, talked to the executive committee
and department, heads of the local
A. R. C. Chapter in the Red Cross
Home Service room on Wednesday
afternoon. He explained the Peace
Program of the Red Cross discussing
in detail the work of the four depart
ments: Home Service, Nursing, First
Aid Corps, and the Junior Red Gross.
Mr.. Lovett said an untold benefit
had been received from the Home
Service department; everywhere it
had been established. That it had
served as a clearing house, sort of
intermediary between the soldiers,
their families, and the government,
saving money and trouble for them
all. That of course with the end
of the war, the war work of, the
Home Service decreased, but that
many communities were extending
their Home Service work to the civ
ilian population.
IN discussing the Nursing" de-
partment Of the Red Cross, the speak
er advised the employment by the
chapter Of a nurse who would give
courses to the women of the COM
munity ii Nursing, Sanitation, Home
Care of the Sick, etc. That it was
part of the complete health service
program of the Red Cross that one
woman fro mevery home in the com
munity should be given these cour-
ses free of charge
The Red Cross executives were IA
vorably impressed with this sugges-
tion and it is probable that this work
will be taken up.
Mr. Lovett said that though the
work of the Red Cross was about fin
ished in Belgium, France and Italy,
chat the conditions in the Balkans,
Poland, Serbia, Greece and Armenia,
were fearful, and that it would be
~ to the American people to deter
mine whether the humane work of
The Red Cross would be continued

tales of hardships and privations, sto-

Complete realization of what our

The story sent out by the Y. M.

ries of different nature given out
by other returned soldiers. The Y.
NJ. c. A. story has already appeared
in a number of papers over the coun-
try. After "newsy" account of
some of the sergeant's experiences in
New York, it says for Sergt. York:
"The menaof tie Y. M. C. A. and
other associations did their work with
spirit that showed no fear. The
continuous fulisade of shots made it
more than unsafe for them to re-
main any length of time when arriv-

"And too, it made US feel like the

lates. And | must mention the Gig
arettes, because we needed them.

we of my regiment saw were oursel-

in all this the welfare organizations
were constantly with us, handing out
the candy, cakes and tobacco.
