divided the work in such way
that the burden would not fall toe
heavily on any one person. Mrs
John Ewell was named vice chair
man, and is now acting chairman
Mrs. Baggs still expects to con-
tinue as much personal work as
her health will permit.
She said, smiling:
Il just couldn't give up alto
gether-all at once-what has been
a part of me for so long. I had
hoped to die Gray Lady"
In commenting on this remark
one of her committee said. "She
will certainly die Gray Lady, be-
cause she has always lived a Gray
Lady. Her thoughts have always
been for the sick, lonely and un-
fortunate.
Last year Mrs. Baggs was awarded
a bar by the American Red Gross
for 20 years of continuous service
Some of this time was given before
she became a Gray Lady.
Regarding her resignation. Miss
Mabel Boardman, District chair
man of volunteer special services OF
the Red Gross said: Mrs. Bags
has done a remarkable service In
building up the Gray Lady Corps
in our chapter, with hundreds now
working in our hospitals, institu-
tons and recreation rooms. Her
enthusiasm and devotion have never
failed, and she has always re-
sponded to any request of the Red
Cross"

Mrs. Boggs Finishes II Years
Leadership of Gray Ladies
Her Record Of
Achievement
For Red Cross

Mrs. Albert P Bags, chairman Of
the Gray Ladies of the District of
Columbia Chapter of the American
RED Gross for the past IL years, has
rendered her resignation, it was
learned yesterday, At Doctors
Hospital, Mrs. Baggs is now recu-
perating from a serious illness.
When Mrs. Baggs became chair
man, there were only three groups
Of GRAY Ladies serving in the Dis
trict. Walter Reed began the work
in 1918. although instruction courses
were not given until 1924. In 1927
the Naval Hospital had its first
class, and some time after that Epis-
copal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital
requested the service. Under Mrs.
Bags leadership eight more units
were organized and trained. Rep
resented were the Veterans Hos
pltal. St. Elizabeth's, the Home for
Incurables, George Washington, the
Home for the Aged and Infirm at
Blue Plains, Garfield and the Rec
reation Center at Hams Point. The
Gray Ladies, officially known as the
Hospital and Recreation Corps, serve
in naval and military recreation
rooms and centers, and are trained
for this work at home and abroad.
Last year five more local hospitals
have asked for Gray Ladies-Cas-
ualty, Doctors. Providence, George
town and Siblev Memorial.
In 1910 Mrs. Bags was appointed
to take charge of all booths estab-
lished for the War Fund drive of the
Red Cross. Although not in good
health at this time, she cheerfully
assumed this responsibility, and
raised the required sum. She in
creased the number of booths from
26 to "a, and was able to keep them
manned at all times with her Gray
Ladies, and other Red Cross volun-
teers.
Again, few months later, she
was asked to head the Committee
of Booths for the annual Red Cross
roll call. During all this time, she
was keeping Office hours at her desk
at the Chapter House and planning
new groups of Gray Ladies for the
District. Other chapters were con-
stantly calling her to speak to their
graduating classes, or to give certi-
f1cates She went to Baltimore, An
napoliS, Fort Meade, Fort Howard
and Quantico; to Chicago, and even
TO San Francisco; to Virginia, West
Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsyl-
vania.
Last fall Mr.. Baggs formed a COM
mittee to assist her in the admins
trative work she had done almost
singlehanded for so long. She
