NEXT-MALE CORSETIER
BY MARGARET ROBE

There is a man in our town
And he is wondrous wise
At working over figures
OF every sort and size.
He's no arithmetician,
Nor yet a bank cashier.
Yet how that nan knows figures!
For he's a corsetier.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-We have
long since ceased to lift d sur

of men dressmakers and men mill
liners popping up all about, but a
man corsetier certainly does stay"

By the term man corsetier you
may gather that the stays them

he designs are all for the ladies II

Making over the human form from
slobbiness to symmetry is GER

we're.
For So years Isidor Baer has been
struggling with the problem of how
to fit a three-quart figure into a one
pint corset. He has stayed with the
problem so persistently and stayed

VETERANS PRAISE
THE RED CROSS

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the local chapter of the
American Red Cross from the Red
Cross headquarters at Washington:
"a message to the Red Cross for
Colonel Charles r. Forbes, d.
rector of United States Veterans
Bureau:
We ex-service men think of the
American Red Cross as an all-help-
full mother and the Veterans Blu
real sees in that mother an always
cooperating attention to In I'M
awarded claim. or an i'll man need
ing disqualification, or of tiding the
sick veteran over the time which
must elapse before government aid
can be offered. The Red Cross is
always on the job with expert SER
vice and the necessary goods.
In the bureaus Cleanup cam
paign when effort was made to To-
cate every ex-service man, no mat
ter how remote his habitation, or
how limited his powers of compre-
hension, the Red Cross workers
brought to light hundreds of claims
which might otherwise have lain
hidden until too late for the indi-
vidual to make legal application.
By strategic position the Red Cross
worker has penetrated the alleys of
the city and the wilderness of the
mountains in her search for the
man who did not know that the
government stood ready to help
him.
1.-THE Veteran Bureaus problem
is a big and we need the Red
Cross. Together and with the help
of all the other agencies and in
dividuals eager to serve, we will
surely give most practical express
sion of Americas appreciation of
the debt which the nation owes the
man or woman who gave health
and strength in his country's cause.
