This year, says Delineator, lace Is
used in boudOr for chaise-longue COW
ers. for boudoir pillows and bed
spreads. 1t is used, too, for the table.
A very sensible style has decided that
old pieces OF odd lace can be made up
into a sort of patchwork cloth or se,
Of doilies.
Linen is In good taste, also the un-
pretentiOus substitutes that modern
housewives are using these days Of
limited materials and curtailed help.
There are crocheted doilies. easy TO
launder. and the embroidered natural
colored linen sets, consisting OF two
oblong pieces that are simply laid one
across the other at right angles, the
one with the center design on top,
forming the centerpiece, and cleverly
shaped individual doilies that fill Ia
the spaces left by the, centerpiece.
which extend out 10 the table edge.
The most practical Of all are the
luncheon sets OF hand-painted enamel
cloth. which Is not very far removed
from the old-fashioned oil cloth OF our
grandmothers' time.

FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men and women
American Red Cross'ls Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose Of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
ican. Red Cross Is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and iutelligently when
emergencies demand II. First Aid
treatment Is not intended to take the
place OF phyeiciRn's service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence. but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such case a person trained In First
Aid Is invaluable not only to the in
dividual, but through him TO the COM
munity In which he lives.
There Is perhaps no way Of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack Of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment 1t Is safe TO as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
countpy's toll OF suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
Ing and Information has already pro-
duced a farreaching and beneficial In
fiuence In the prevention OF accidents
on railroads, IN mines and In great In
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of a widespread knowl-
edge Of First Aid In the event Of a
great disaster, such as q train wreck.
an explosion, an earthquake, ETC., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
1) the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters. Of classes for IN
struction IN accident prevention and
First Aid TO the injured among men
and women in all communities and IN
every industry; (2) the introduction Of
courses OF instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared TO supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea.
sonable prices.
Every person In this country able to
do so should. IN his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and in
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance OF the
American Red Cross during the last
year, q large proportion Of the 10000.
600 population OF the Balkan States
might have starved or perished from
disease or exposure Six million dol
lars worth Of food. clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent TO the Bal

Montenegro. Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations In Central Europe,
while millions OF dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent TO the needy In
these states.
The money expended BY the Red
Cross In this stricken portion OF Eu.

orphanages. d.spensaries. mobile medi
cai units and 10 help I'm the general re
construction OF devastated areas. Amer
ilcan tractors and other farming imple
ments have been sent 10 the agricul'

By the last OF this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad

will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped eel
