After they were out Of hearing

WOMEN WILL
WORK UNTIL
MUSTERED OUT

The women Of the state who were In
attendance at the Red Cross confer
ence held yesterday in Grand Forks
have been fully convinced, after the
addresses given by the speakers, that
the work which the women have been
asked to do, Including h making of
refugee garments, is absolutely es-
sentia1.
Opinion seemed prevalent that the
war refugees were capable OF making
their own clothes if materials were
sent to them. This statement was de-
day afternoon by5Nrfs. Cora Fridley Of
the bureau OF development. Mrs.
Fridley told of the former strong op-
position evident in the entire North
ern division in regard to the recent
work which the Red Cross was given.
Frank II. Heffelfnger, formerly
manager Of the Northern division, re-
Washington ana told Of the sentiment
against making garments for refu-!
gees, when it was, thought they were
capable Of making them, but accord
ing to Mrs. Fridley, MI. Heffelfinger
! was soon convinced that it was mos
necessary that this work be done by
the Red Cross.
Mr.. Heffelflnger returned to head
quarters, convinced hat the new work
had to be done and that cooperation
from every branch and auxiliary was
highly necessary.
1.-THE ome Of the nation are not
going to be asked to do one thing
which is non-essential," said Mrs.
Fridley. 1.-THE refugees have not the
necessary convcniences to make their
garments. The larger factories Of the
United States are undertaking the
more difficult garments but it falls to
the faithful ONE Of the nation to
shoulder the lighter burden"
When Mrs. Fridley questioned the
women as to their opinion of the work
they were doing, sentiment seemed to
be in favor Of continuing the work.
'"The women realize dis do the boys in
the service that the government will
discharge them as oon as possible.
1t is better to receive an honorable
discharge from service than to be a
deserter. That is what the women
would be who desert the Red C.oss"nt
this critical time"
Representatives of Red Cross
branches have returned to their work
with new ideas and the most i'm
! portant of these is that they will stick
by the Red Cross until mustered
out"
