ORGANIZATION rs MADE

ice and Public Health Nursing
Work Of the Organiza-
tIon.

Organization for the third Red Cross
roll call in Keokuk and the southern
half of Lee county has been practi
cally completed. Miss inertia mitchell
has been named by Chairman McFar
land as the chairman of this mem
bership drive, and already, Miss Nit
chell has organized her work both for
/ the county and for Keokuk.
The drive this year will occur Nov.
ember 2 to II and win be the third
of the roll calls The money which
will be obtained will be applied to the
home service section and to the pub
| lie health nursing section of the Red
| Cross. Dollar memberships are all
that are asked for, but additional sums
can be given, and all amounts over a
dollar are given in full for the local
work.
Although most of the war time army
has been demobilized, the Red Cross
is now being called upon for most
vital work in connection with the
men still in khaki. Confidential infor-
nation on home conditions is being re-
Quested by camp officials for their
use in determining the necessity of dis
charge and furlough Of patients in the
hospital and members of the regular
personnel.
The men still in the service have
been waiting long time for their
freedom and are often concerned
about reports Of distressing conditions
at home. This calls for the prompt
attention on the part of local chapters
who receive requests for information.
Home Service Work.
Home service sections have a part1-
cular interest in getting the boys who
are convalescent in the hospitals,
home to their relatives at the earliest
possible moment and this may be ex-
pedited provided physicians receive
prompt assurance of the familys
willingness and ability to provide the
proper home care.
AS a part Of its obligation to dis
charged soldiers the local home SER
vice section not only acts as clearing
house for all communications with the
bureau of War Risk Insurance, but
establishes cordial relationships with
other agencies in the community. In
statement, Ward Bonsall, head of
the bureau of information at national
Headquarters says, at is important
that our home service sections should
not be content with the recent order
of the War Risk Insurance bureau
designating the Red Cross as the Off
cial organization through whom COM
plants and requests should be pre-
scented to the bureau.
principles of courtesy and eff
cheney would suggest to the home SER
vice sections that they should not
wait for other organizations to APP
proach them with their requests TO,
aid in settling soldiers difficulties, |
but to offer Red Cross service to every +!
other organization in the community
which deals with soldietrs."

Daylight saving will then be off, as
officially decided by congress.
Farmers who have long bewailed the

When you go to bed Saturday night,
you can sleep with added peace and
joy for your alarm clock will ring an
hour later-if you don't forget to
change it's time. And if you have been
losing sleep then will be your chance
to regain whole hour of it.
The repeal or the daylight saving
law does not mean, however, that you
must turn your Ingersoll back If you
don't want to. There's nothing in the
law that takes away a mans ina1ien-

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-There is no
flourish of extrayagant luxury in Bel
gian royalty's tour of America.
"Fconomy" will be the watchword.
Two maids are all Queen Elizabeth
has with her. The lesson OF thrift
preached to American housewives by
Herbert Hoover is being strictly fol
lowed bv the queen. Both maids are
Belgian girls and came across the
ocean with the royal party.
One lady-in-waiting the Countess c.
de Caraman- Chimay, will be in attend
ance on the queen.
Simple white and gray dresses will
feature Queen Elizabeth's attire
throughout her journey over "The
Wonderland"
The king has one personal servant,
his valet. Prince Leopold also carries
a valet. Add to this a maid for the
Countess de Caraman-Chimay, and the
servant equipage of the royal party
will amount to five people.
Six men, in the capacity of footmen,
will accompany the monarchs on their
tour. They are strong able-bodied Bel
CLANS, and in addition to being in close
attendance on the Belgian rulers, they
will also keep an eye on the lookout
for any loose Belgian anarchists.
The king will wear the uniform OF
q Belgian Acknowledgement through
ont the tour. On occasions he expects
to don evening dress.
Prince Leopold has worn the uni
eor,,, IF n RaIgian private since leaving
Brussels, and unless King Albert de-
cides otherwise, he will wear 1t prac-
tically all of the time he is in the
United States.
The entire luggage of the royal
party. consisting of the king, queen,
prince. the officials attached to 1T,
together with that of the servants,
consist only of 1870 pieces.

comes of the arrival of former

of promise, asks his chum to help him
out. Fanny WEIGH, known profess
sionally as Painting Fanny, the pick
pocket queen, happens along and
Finch's chum asks her if she will
come to the rescue. They play to
have Fanny come into the room as y
discarded and ruined relic of Finch's.
This plan is to shock and scare away
the former sweetheart, whom Finch
remembered as q dyed-in-the-wool

old sweetheart arrives. She has
come, not to make trouble for Finch,
but see that the little brides trosseau
is satisfactory. Instead of being the
prude. as Finch knew her formerly,
she is a swagger modiste. Finch and
his chum try and find Fanny to call
off the plan, but are unsuccessful, and
as the wedding rehearsal is going on,
in comes Fanny, declaring Finch a
heart-breaker and life-wrecker. Finch
