BETTER PACKING
CAMPAIGN IS0N
AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS
COMPANY SEEKS TO EDU-
CATE THE SHIPPER TO
EXERCISE GREATER
CARE.


A nationwide campaign to put ar
end to the waste attributed to made
ouate packing, wrapping and market
ing of express shipments has been in
augurated by the American Railway
Express Company, which is handling
the express business on practically
all the railroads of the country. 1t
is expected that by remedying this
evil, it viii be possible to bring about
marked Improvement of the express
service throughout the countgry.
A aBetter Service Campaign" the
success of which will depend largely
upon the cooperation of the shipping
public. started on February 10, in
every city and town in the country
No new packing or marking rules
+. have been adopted for the campaign,
hut express drivers and receiving
clerks in the larger cities, as well as
express agents in the smaller points
have been instructed hereafter to re-
quest that the rules already in force,
be more carefully observed.
The Better Packing, Better Mark
ing drive is designed to be of as much
interest and value to the shipper as
to the carrier, for it is a matter OF
dollars and cents to both. By remov-
mo the causes which are responsible
for many shipments being lost or
damaged in transit, it is hoped that
great reduction in the number of ex-
nress claims filed, will be accomplish
I'd Claims are a handicap to the
transportation business and bring
much dissatisfaction to the shipper,
the consignee and the carrier, with
no gain to any of them.

e<ecutives of the many trades and IN

CHAPTER TREASURES
TO Be Used for Health, Nursing, First
Aid, Disaster Relief

New Crleans.-Here is message
for every man, woman and child in
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The message comes straight from Ho'
mer w. Borst, manager for the Gulf
Division Of the American Red Cross
of that organization's third annual Roll
Call, which is now in progress, and
which is to reach its successful con-
clusion on Armistice Day-the first
anniversary Of the close of the great
est war of all times:
First of oll are the financial needs
Of national headquarters. On Septem'
ber 80 the Red Cross national treas.
ury contained 14,500,000 dollars; $15,-
100000 more than that is needed for
the honorable completion of work
abroad. 1t is true that on February 2S
q much larger sum was available, but
this sum has been used since then n
the absolutely necessary relief meas
ures which the Red Cross was COM
PEELED to institute at the withdrawal
of the armies from the allied countries
of Central Europe, and also in the
assistance given to the thousands Of
wounded soldiers in American army
hospitals.
During the period of four months
after January l, 1919, the expenditures
by the Red Cross for these purposes
were the largest in the history of the
organization.
"The next need which the Red Cross
is preparing to meet, as enthusiastic
cally as any need during the war, is
the home need, the need for Red Cross
service to the people of Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. Under the BAN
ner of the Red Cross, which has never
known defeat in any field, the people
of the Gulf Division are going out to
win greater happiness and better civic
life and health.
"It is fitting that the campaign ends
on Armistice Day. That is the ami
versary Of our defeat of a great and
dangerous foreign enemy. 1t is the
beginning of a renewed fight, and an
ultimately victorious fight against in
ternal enemies no less formidable, and
no less entitled to be laid low. Those
enemies are poverty, ill health and ig.
norance. The victory means health,
happiness and public welfare. The
Red Cross Call is humanity on the
march"
One.half of every membership dollar
remains right at home to perform
these local tasks. Also the larger part
of all cash contributions will be en-
ployed in whatever local welfare work
The chapters decide upon.

WOMEN'S WORK is NEEDED
NEW RED CROSS PROGRAM CALLS
FOR CONTINUED PRODUCTION.

New Orieans.-The Greatest Moth
er in the World" Is not content to
fold her hands and allow her deft,
needle-scarred fingers to lie idle in
her lap. now that the war Is over. So
many of the Red Cross workers In the
Gulf Division wanted to continue their
work for humanity, that a new pro-
gram has been outlined along the lines
of which each chapter may work to
aid the folks at home.
This program makes number OF
suggestions, and gives each chapter
more or less free rein as to the
things it will choose as most badly
needed in that particular locality. For
instance, there is the loan closet"
These closets will be well stocked with
such supplies as pajamas, night
gowns, slippers, bathrobes, baby lay
cites, and the like, so that poor fam
lilies, suddenly stricken by illness, may
borrow what they need, returning
the materials when the emergency has
been tided over. The articles then
can be sterilized and replaced in the
"loan chest" for use on other occa-
sions.
Another suggestion is that of max
Ing hospital supplies, surgical dress
lngs and the like, just as in the black
days of the war. These will be used
not only for the military hospitals still
in operation, but for civilian relief
hospitals, for charity hospitals, and for
tree clinics.
Mrs. William ]. Hardee, Director OF
Production for the Gulf Division, said:
$50 many women have asked for
something more to do, and there are
SO many things waiting to be done.
that chapter production will continue

CALL FOR NURSES
Red Cross Recruiting Students to Meet
Shortage.

Latest reports from the Red Cross
Chapters the country over show that
trained nursing is going to be the pop
ular thing for girls and women; for
now, as never before, the trained nurse
Is coming into her own.
1t has been estimated that the train
ed nurse crop is very short-this came
10 light during the influenza epidemic
last year-and it was this same cpl
demic which showed clearly that the
Public Health Nurse was an absolute
necessity in every community.
Cities throughout the United States
lave set the example. There is not one
city of respectable size in the United
States which has not secured the serv.
ices of a public health nurse or is not
planning to secure one. In many cases,
Of course, whole flock Of nurses is
necessary.
Plans are now being promulgated by
the Gulf Division, American Red Cross,
which will insure a public health nurse
in every community, rural or semi
rural And the reason Is not far to
seek:
Five hundred thousand lives lost in
the epidemic of "flu' last year; eight
hundred thousand men rejected from
service because Of physical disabili.
ties; three out Of every ten babies
lost through lack Of care. These are
few of many health conditions pre-
ventable through the services Of the
public health nurse. Every Red Cross
chapter which furnishes it's commu.
nifty trained nurse makes epidemics
less likely, lowers the death rate, and
upbuilds the health of its citizens.
The community nurse is one of the
best agents for the protection of life
and health, say the Red Cross work.
ers. The community nurse cares for
the sick, protects the we'll and teaches
the principle Of good health to all, is
the report from chapters having such
nurses.
The answer, then, Is simple: Give
every community the nurse it needs.
This is exactly what the Red Cross in.
tends to do, as part Of it's peace-time
program. The Red Cross intends to
go further: there will not only be
public health nurse for every chapter,
but there will be classes in home nurs-
ing and dietetics In chapters and
branches, and encouragement to girls
to take training as nurses. This work
for women-it has been called wo.
mans noblest work-wili be recog-
nized as never before.
1t has been estimated that the
trained nurses of this country will be
doubled in number within the next
three years-and even then there will
not be enough. It Is a young woman's
best chance today.
Miss L. Agnes Daspit, director -ef
the Nursing Department, Gulf Divis-
ion, states that she has calls for three
times as many nurses as she is able to
supply: and she urges that all young
women qualified to do 80, consider
taking nurses training at once.
