MERCY WOMEN PRODUCE
FORTUNE IN GARMENTS

More than 100000 women and girls
participated In the sewing and k.it'
ting OF the American Red Cross dur
ing the war. Most OF these workers
will be active In soliciting members
for the Red Cross for 1929. during
the ten days ending Armistice Day.
when II is remembered that these
women and girls In two years time
produced nearly $iO0,0OO,OO0 worth OF
surgical articles and garments, includ
ing more than 376,00O,O00 surgical
dressings. the fact that they are to
assist In the Roll Call is a practical
assurance that universal membership
will be achieved.
