"When Everybody Was Looking.


well. If that don't beat the Ger
mans" he said II could have carried
that thing for mile along a dark
luck to drop it when everybody was
looking"
The Interview with the young SOL
der will appear in The Sunday Star
He tells what he has already been
able to accomplish and what he hopes
to accomplish in the future with his
artificial members. A suggestion was
made that as he had an all-night
trip ahead couple of sandwiches S
would not be amiss.
II should worry" he said cheerily
Lets beat it to the sign Of the Red
Cross, I am sure Of a welcome there"
And he got just such welcome as
he expected and deserved. There was
a box all ready for him. He hook ed
it on his right arm and started for
the train after a few minutes of con-
versation with the ladies' behind the
desk. The writer introduced the SOL
der to the genial conductor in charge
of the train. but there was really no
need for that.
On board the train were dozen
young soldiers on leave who were on
their way to their homes in different
parts of the middle west. They sa-
luted the new conner and before the
train pulled out he was surrounded by
a group of laughing. merry boys and
he was sure Of plenty of good chow
and good fellowship on a night trip
that might otherwise have been
rather lonesome.
That is the sort of work the women
of the Red Cross are doing and will
continue to do as long as there is
need for it. and they know that it
IS more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.
Included among the workers are:

SERVICE. BY RED CROSS

In the old. days before the great
war soldiers. sailors and marines ar
irving at the Union station were liza
BILE to be met occasionally by pickpock
cts and women Of doubtful character
In these days things are decidedly
different. Practically every incoming
train that brings men in uniform Is
met by a young woman in the at
tractive garb of the American Red
Cross. He receives a hearty welcome.
He is given any information he may
desire and, as is frequently the case.

the Union station.
Uses Presidents Suite.
The canteen is quartered in the
Presidents suite at the eastern end of
the great cGncourse, and here every
day in the week from 200 to 500 boys
arriving in town Or en- route to other
cities or camps, or on their way to
Walter Reed Hospital. are made to
feel at home. Each is given a cup of
delicious coffee and as many sand

may desire. is supplied with cigar
cites and chocolate. and obtains writ
ing material if he wishes to send a
letter to the dear ones at home.
For boys who are leaving on long
trips attractive luncheons are put up
in dainty boxes. AS rule, such a
box contains couple of sandwiches,
two pieces of cake. a doughnut. a
ard-boiled egg. an orange or an ap-
pie. box of cigarettes and a paper
of matches. Each packet Of matches
is marked on one side: Compliments

or Uncle Sam with his right arm
around a sailor. his left arm around
boy in khaki. and it bears a legend:
I am proud of you; SO are the folks
at home
The price OF all the service is
merely pleasant smile and a word
of thanks which the grateful lad in
varlably gives. The American SOL

friends are and their devotion to the

\ Well Equipped Kitchen.

The main room of the suite is fur
nished with comfortable sofas, chairs
and writing desks. and there are sew
eral tables covered with newspapers
and current periodicals. On one side
IS small. but well equipped kitchen,
so clean and neat that it would be the
pride of any good housewife. 1t con-
meets with a small dining room, where
there are half dozen tables, at which
travel-weary boys NAV eat at their
leisure. The food is plain. but ex-
ceNent in quality >and the people of
Washington who contribute funds for
this worthyo purpose may rest as
sured they are getting more than
their moneys worth.
The workers perform their duties in
three shifts and the canteen is never
closed from week end to week end
From o'clock in the morning until
10 o'clock at night there are willing
women in attendance and from 10
o'clock on there is always a male
worker ready to assist soldiers in
transit.
Until within the last two months the
Red Cross maintained canteens and
| shower baths in the railroad yards
and frequently this. was the only
chance of refreshment that boys on
! trains would have from the begin
ming to the end of their long and tedi-
Gus trip. Now. however, the good
work has concentrated at the canteen
in the Union station.
The people of Washington have a
general idea of how the travelling SOL
diers are cared for, but a few words
describing an incident might be of
particular interest. One evening last
week a writer for The Star had oc-
