Sfafes Make Contribution to Red Cross
DAR Response Quick
When Space Is Needed

When the need for more space
for the ever-growing activities of
the District Red Cross became acute
the Daughters of the American
Revolution came to the rescue.
Wires hummed as emergency calls
were sent from the national head
quarters asking state regents for
the use of various state rooms in
Memorial Continental Hall as long
as the war should last. Responses
were immediate and the rooms were
made available to the Red Cross.
Memorial Continental Hall is
especially suited for the new
offices, Just across the street from
the National American Red Cross
Building it will be most convenient
TO all branches of the District
chapter.
The state rooms now used by the
Red Cross were administrative

independence for the States who
were responsible for its being.
Mrs. Charles Carroll Haig. national
chairman of Buildings and Grounds
Committee, had charge of the
moving operations which began
July 8. Priceless and rare antiques
and relics were carefully moved and
stored in places for safety. In but
two days the building was occupied
by the army of Red Cross workers
and room after room now is a bee
hive of war activity.
Instrumental in the, change over

chairman of the D. A. r. War

Worthy Charitable Work Done
By Fire Department Auxiliary

Women in the WAVES, women in
the WACS, but there is little fanfare
about those groups who remain on
the home front carrying on their un-
selfish prewar duties.
There are many such groups and
one of the most active Is the Ladies
Auxiliary of the District Fire De-
partment.
The auxiliary is composed of
wives, mothers, sisters and daughters
OF the men in the District Fire De-
partment. Organized in August,
1927, as a service group it has more
than lived up to its purpose during
its Is years. In 1882 it became affili-
ated with the District Federation of
Womens Clubs.
Within it is sewing club which
had its beginning in 1886 when the
auxiliary donated a S25 award,
received for a float in Labor Day
parade, TO the Children's Hospital
Anxious to continue assistance to
the hospital, members then formed
a sewing group.
The club devotes two whole days
each month to this hospital work.
meeting at the hospital the first and
third Thursdays of every month.
During the past five years the group
has given more than 1900 garments
to the hospital. Their things con-
sist of anything from nurses caps to
slip covers and one member who is
confined to her home has made as
many as SO nurses caps in one week
Last year instead of giving their
retiring president, at her request the
usual personal gift, the auxiliary
gave 500 to Children's Hospital to
purchase instruments for the new
dlspensary. An additional S25 was
given this year to the hospital in
stead of the gift.
The auxiliary has a member on
the hospital board. Mrs Ernest H.
Howard, secretary-treasurer of the
auxiliary and former nurse with
the hospital during the First World
War. Mrs. Stephen T. Porter, wife
OF the chief engineer of the District
Fire Department, attends all the
servings
In addition to the articles con-
trlbuted to the Children's Hos
pital by the Sewing Club, the aux
iliary contributes each year to the
blood bank, the infantile paralysis
fund and the fund with which it
sends fruit, flowers and cards to i'll
or injured firemen.
The auxiliary boasts eight boys in
the service and 1t. George Meeks,
jr., Army Air Forces, son of mem
ber, was one of the first District
boys to lose his life in the service
of his country in the present war.
