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

New Orleans.-TEe 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
Gull 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 we'll 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 emergencyaala
been tided over The articles then
can be sterilized and replaced in the
loan chest" for use on c r occa-
siOns
Another suggestion is thai Of MAX
ing hospital supplies, surgical Dress
ings andathe 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
hnc nifo1c for 6hop;fv hncnito1c ond
for free clinics.
Mrs William J. 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
for some time

The message comes straight from Ho
mer w. Borst, manager for the Gull
Division of the American Red Gross
OF that organizations third annual Rol
| Call, which is now in progress. anf
which is to reach its successful con
cluslon On Armistice Day-the frs
| anniversary Of the close OF the great
est war Of all times:
First of all are the financial needs
| OF national headquarters. On Septem
ber 80 the Red Cross national treas
ury contained 14,5Oo,oOO dollars; SIS,
O00,0t0 more than that is needed fol
the honorable completion of work
abroad. 1t is true that on February 2s
much larger sum was available, but
this sum has been used since then in
the absolutely necessary relief meas
ures which the Red Cross was com
PEELED to institute at the withdrawal
or the armies from the allied countries
or Central Europe, and also in the
assistance given to the thousands os
wounded soldiers in American army
hospitals. -
During the period OF four months
after January l, 1918, 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
ID preparing to meet, as enthusiasts
caIy as any need during the war, is
the home need, the need FOR Red Cross
service to the people of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama. Under the
banner 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 bet
ter civic life and health.
1T Is fitting that the campaign ends
On Armistice Day. That is the ami
versary of our defeat of 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, i'll health and ig.
norance. The victory means health,
happiness and public welfare. The
Red Cross Calls humanity on the
march,"
one-haff OF every membership dollar
remains right at home Sto 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.
