diplomats and ceiebrit.es usually to
be found in the receipt on room at the
western extremity of the building, has
dwindled to an occasional visit OF
friends of Secretary Tumulty or the
remaining few others III the execu-
tive offices.
At night one or two lonesome lights
g,eam from the windows. Passersby
who are obvious visitors in Wash
'ngton look toward the building with
Interest but wi hout eagerness. A
returned soldier, small bands OF
women and row and then a small
group of Englishmen temporarily in
America or other foreign folk appear
asking to be shown the interior of tho
White House.
Quiet prevails at the executive man
sion while tie President and first
lady are away. The atmosphere IL
much the same as in the summer
months OF ordinary times, when the
President removes to the summer
White House. Then, however, the
President takes with him the execu-

ton of the Mountain division of the
Red Cross. division that includes
four states. by the way-Colorado
Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico.
Last fall the American Red Cross
undertook a survey of the nurse re.
sources OF the natio-. This very i'm
portant project was started upon the
solemn promise OF the Red Cross to
carry 1t to a successful conclusion.
1t was upon this solemn promise tha
the government relied when it dele
gated the Red Cross as the instru-
ment through which the huge task
was to be contaminated That ag-ee-
inert holds good today. TIE Red
Cross must-and will-keep its word.
The influenza epidemic. with its at
tendant quarantines and other retari-
ing conditions. prevented the carrying
out of the survey. The epidemic
brought about the very conditiors and
problems that the survey seeks to
fo- estall and combat The infiu7
enza epidemic was a lesson that cost
the nation hundreds of thousands of
lives Business paralysis ensued. in
currirg loss of millions of dollars.
The lesson may be repeated un ess
proper measures to protect against it
are adopted. A nurse survey is the
answer. The Red Cross has promised
the government to create this great
national safeguard. YOU must help
carry out this promise Z"
This survey. of which Mrs Jane
Swanton is chairman for Fremont
couEty. must be completed by Feb
ruary 1. and IL any woman who has
had any nursing experience. or who
knows of anyone who has. will please

gates you in no way whatever. Please
do not delay. 1t is most important to

Did you know that Ty Cobb. Amer

Is, an increase of more than $4,000

1t was thought by many, Mr.. Man
ng points out, that this must be the
LAX of American patriotic effort, but
1918 the production of gasoline was
ier S5,O00,000 barrels. The daily in
ease for this year over the record
'eaking year of 1917 was about A.
barrels for each of the S65 DAYS.
