AUXILIARY IS HELPING
Kansas Women Cheering Disabled
Veterans

Tn to June 80, 1921, there was a
total Of 1900 members Of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary in the state of Kan
sas with 10 units organized. 8,SO4
new members have been enrolled
since the spring membership cam
paign.
Twelve units, including Abilene,
have furnished bath robes, slippers
and pajamas for disabled ex-service
men in the hospital at Wichita, and
over 500 visits have been made to
patients in various Kansas hospitals
by Auxiliary members.
There are 200 disabled World war
veterans in the Soldiers Home hos
ptal at Leavenworth, Wichita takes
care of 60 men every month, about
40 ex-service men are in the hospi-
tails of Topeka, 90 men and nurses
are being cared for at Norton, and
the U. s. Public Health hospital at
Kansas City is now caring for 5l
Kansas men, with total OF l2o
patients. Many convalescent men In
hospitals haye been treated to auto
mobile rides by Auxiliary members
and others have been assisted in get
ting their cOmpensations, not only
for the men themselves, but in many
cases for their families.
Some Of the Auxiliaries in Kansas
have been called upon to contribute
to the Especial Hospital Fund" main
tained for emergency relief and they
also contributed $3S7.S0 for the
decoration of overseas graves, OF
which the Abilene unit sent $15
Contributions Of money will be
thankfully received at the headquar'
ters office of the WOmen's Auxiliary
at Topeka for this special hospital
fund.
The first national convention OF
the Women's Auxiliary will be held
this fall probably at Kansas City
after which the second state conven'
tion will be held at Salina.
Mrs, Arthur J. Stanley, Jr., chair
man Of the Kansas City, Kansas
hospital committee writes that thu
ex- service men In the Kansas CITY
hospital are making handbags as
pastime occupation and says, "W'
can use almost any quantity Of neu
trail colored yarns for, this work ant
odds and ends Of bright yarns TO
stripping" Many women may hav'
yarns in their homes that they will
be glad to have used to cheer tn
hours Of these disabled men. Sh'
also suggests that If the women o
Kansas wish to send glasses of pre-
serves and jellies, two things tn
boys appreciate most, she will b
very happy to deliver these as from
kansas women" The Abilene uni
will gladly forward anything of thi
nature to this hospital, and let u
hope that all Auxiliary members vii
respond to this call.
