reuort from Lake Division head
Quarters of the American Red Cross,
to volunteer the services OF their
workers to local hospitals in making
up materials supplied by such hos
pitals into the surgical dressings, hos
pital garments, or hospital supplies.
"By thus offering to hospitals the
service of Red Cross workers the value
of the contribution to be made will be
greatly increased and the Red Cross
will effectively demonstrate its appre-
citation Of cooperation given during the
stress of war;"
These recommendations made re-
Gently in letter from +. c. Munroe,
general manager of the American Red
Cross at Washington, d. c., will
answer the questions which have been
asked from time to time as to what

or New York for the Near East should

More nurses! To carry on the ex-
tensive health betterment campaign
which the Red Cross makes part OF
it's peace-time service to the people OF
the United States, American nurses
must enroll for Red Cross service at
the Cleveland Red Cross headquarters.
The present demand for Red Cross
nurses is so great that it can only
be met if the ranks are continually
augmented by new nurses enrolling.
Are you nurse? Do you know a
nurse? Do your bit in peace-time as
well as YOU did in wartime by per-
sonal effort to help the Red Cross en-
roll more nurses!

sulting in the institution OF English
as a compulsory language in thousands
of elementary schools. Even in the
Mediterranean Isle of Crete, the home
of Premier Venizelos, instruction in
the English language has been ar
ranged for.
In the wake of this, American agri..
culturists are completing a survey OF
the soil possibilities Of Crete and the
Greek mainland, and plans have been
made to systematically educate the
farmers of Greece to increase the yield
of their crops.
