Coincident with the great agitation
about the high cost of living and the
packers is the investigation which
which has been made in the stock

ty-fivs years. She recently made an
expose of living conditions within he.
territory.
Her first and last words of advice
Were:
''Cut down the working hours in
Chicago and allow fathers to become
acquainted with their babies"
Since the eight-hour day went
into effect at the yards" she said
it is delightful and surprising to
see how fathers are really learning
to know their children. They have
all made what we call Eight hour
day benches where they spend some
Of the precious play time and those
benches have lifted the yards above
some of the work-a-day struggle.
with perfection of machinery the
six hour day in Chicago industry is
entirely possible" she declared in ans,
wer to a question put by the packers
attorneys in the wage hearing. "Of
course there is such thing as ligis
ure time would work out disastrous
ly to the worker himself but SO far
we do not have to face any such pro-
blem. w worked hard for the eight
hour day in the yards and it has jus,
tilted our efforts and hopes
Miss Mcdowell declared that in the
yards district family Of four must
spend $1,O5456 for meat and othei
food necessities. Shoes for two
daughters. she said, will total $40
year and winter clothing for the fam
iiy $50; the union will cost the faith
err SO and church dues SIS, while in
surance will cost $3.50.
1.-THE greatest evil in back of the

women have to work at night to help
make ends meet" she added, "a sys-

Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to

many millions given 1t by the Ameri-
can people to help our fighting men
and our allies The statement is, in

"The war council Of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done. by
the American Red Cross during the
period in which the war council was
in control of it's affairs. The war
council was appointed May 10, 1919,
and went out of existence February
%, 1919.
1T was the practice of the war
council to give complete publicity to
its policies and finances, but it is only
now that a picture Of the war period
as whole can be presented. 1t is
the feeling of the war council that a
report in this summarized form Should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the ef-

Staggering Total Shown by
Production Of Red Gross
Chapters During waE.
MEARlYs1OO,Ooo,ooo WORTH
This Was Only One Of Many AetIvt-
ties in Which Their Loyalty to
Their. Country Was Shown.

Their Country Was Shown.
The war achievement of the women
of the United States through the
American Red Cross has just been
made public, and it shows clearly
what they did to win the great con-
tlict.
The report shows but one OF the
numerous activities by which they
backed up the country's fighting men,
but the tremendous part they played
is shown in the fact that in two years
they produced nearly $1OO'OOO,OOO
worth Of surgical articles and gar
ments, a truly staggering total.
Three Million Worked.
It is estimated that 100000 wo-
men and girls participated III this
tremendous work, and it is among
them largely that the Red Cross Is
now recruiting the million workers
who will assist in the enrolment Of
members for 1920 during the ten days
ending Armstice day, when universal
membership will be sought to maintain
the effectiveness of the organization
built up in the war for the big peace
program of the Red Cross.
The approximate number Of artl-
cles, and their estimated value, pro-
duced by the women Of the various
Red Cross Divisions Of the east, is as
follows:
New England (Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island), 29,OS4, ,7O6 articles, valued at
S., ,4S6,695.
Atlantic (New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut), 77,S59,9O4 articles, val
ued at $15,597,428.
Our Own Contribution.
PennsyIvania-DeIaware (PennsyI-
vania and DeIaware), 25,277,321 ar
ticIes, valued at $7,670,27e.
Potomac District Of Columbia,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia),
1851 ,O56 articles, valued at 2,4O4, ,310.
The other nine divisions, covering
the remainder Of the United States,
did proportionately good work. Every
division made a splendid record, its
contribution being regulated only by
its population and material resources.
Other Activities.
Chapter production was not the only
activity Of these loyal women, for
they were tireless in Red Cross can
teen and hospital work, in the two
War Fund campaigns and Christmas
Roll Calls, the remarkable increase in
Red Cross membership from $4,000
before the war to its present strength
of nearly 20,OOO,OOO, exclusive of Jun
iors, being attributed in very large
part to their assistance.
What this chapter production meant
to the needy people to whom the re-
suits of its labor was sent can scarce
ly be overestimated. It was not con-
fined to any one people or group of
people, but was distributed wherever
needed over the entire war zone as
well as among the military camps in
this country. The work was an earn
est, not only Of the spirit of the
American women, but Of the American
people as well.

RED. CROSS 70
FIGHT FLU
State Commissioner Of Health
Calls on L to Pfeparefor
Possible Recurrence
ITS SERVICES LAST YEAR

Dy Reason Of Splendid Work the Red
Gross 10 Asked TO- Be Ready This
Fall In Case Aid 10 Needed.
The Commissioner Of Health of
Pennsylvania has called upon the Red
Cross as represented here by the
Pennsylvania Delaware Division, to
make suitable preparations to meet
possible recurrence Of the influenza
epidemic this fall.
While 1t is believed that repeti-
tiOn Of the disastrous epidemic of last
year is improbable, last years expert
vel0ps with such rapidity that in or
der to provide for prompt and efficient
action, plans should now be formulat-
ed to deal with the possible emer-
gency.
Work For Chapters.
To this end the commissioner re-
commends that each Red Cross chap
ter should make careful survey Of
material resources, of buildings, both
actually and potentially available,
and Of nurses and nurses aides, classi-
fed in accordance with their avail
ability for either local service or as
q part Of mobile force.
The commissioner suggests that
for the occasional case or in an cpl
demic Of slight proportions, arrange
ments with hospitals would meet the
requirements in many localities.
Last Years Services.
All the Red Cross chapters in the
batting the ravages Of the disease and
bringing relief to it's sufferers that
their familiarity with the conditions
viii enable chapter officials to take
whatever precautionary measures
sound judgment will suggest as being
advisable at this time, in order to
promptly meet q similar condition this
year should it arise.
A. to the prevention and treatment
Of the influenza, the commissioner ad-
vises AZ follows:
Measures Of Prevention.
AS for precautionary steps apply
Ing to the individual, there seems
nothing better than the maintenance
OF the general health at its highest
point, the avoidance Of crowded, over
heated, ill-ventilated places, and the
stunning Of him or her who coughs
without using the handkerchief as one
would q sufferer from smallpox.
There is enough evidence Of the
value Of masks properly constructed,
properly worn, and supplemented by
clean hands to make this measure
advisable, particularly in the case of
those who do cough. This as a protec-
ti0n to others.
.aThe underlying cause Of influenza
has not been discovered, unless it be a
Alterable virus, nor IL there any
therapeutics for it other than shelter,
good nursing, proper nourishment, and
symptomatic treatment"
The state officials feel that the
work of the Red Cross in the late
epidemic alone has more than fully
justified the existence Of the body and
its future continuance. The perfect
organization will be Of great value in
preventing another visitation this fall.
