Lady yDill Tells
OF Red Cross
Work in England

You never can tell what United
States soldier may want to do in
England, according to Lady Dill,
wife Of Field Marshal Sir John Dill,
recently returned from England.
Red Cross clubs in Britain, she
said, received requests from soldiers
for permission to spend a night in
haunted house." for an opportun-
ity to play a church organ, for a
chance to attend a university and for
a real kosher meal"
Speaking at the civic education
section luncheon Of the Goth Century
Club yesterday, Lady Dill told of
her visits to few of the 80 or more
Red Cross service clubs throughout
the British Isles, 16 of which are
in London.
"All sorts of strange requests come
to the Red Cross Club workers." she
said. "One boy said he wanted to
visit an English home which dated
back to the time of Christopher Co.
lumbus. They found one for him
that had been built in the 18th
CENTURY.
The Washington Club in London,
one of the first established by the
Red Cross for servicemen, has beds
to accommodate 300 men, serves
5000 meals and 10000 snacks daily,
Lady Dill said All work is done by
Red Cross volunteers. Another club,
directed by Mrs. Harry Gibson, an
American woman, serves 1900
boys day, Lady Dill said. Adele
Astaire, sister of Dancer Fred AS
taire, is volunteer worker at this
center, Lady Dill added.
Another volunteer worker, Miss
Irene Whitaker, is always on hand
to sew on chevrons or buttons or
mend socks" she said. "One can
always see Miss Whitaker sur
rounded by a group of boys"
Lady Dill told of visiting service
hospitals where training in physio-
therapy, directed aby Red Cross
women, is helping to rehabilitate
flyers who have had hands or feet
frozen during flights.
Lady Dill went to England and
returned by Army transports. Re-
turning, she visited a Red Cross
Club in Iceland.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Edgar B. Merritt, chairman of
the section, who presided at the
luncheon. A brief talk on volunteer
OPA inspection work was given by
Mrs. Minnie Frost Rands.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

Are women contributing more
to the war effort in this than the
last war? Are they more able,
more conscientious, more hard
working?
We wondered about it, as per-
haps you have, too, so we decided
to ask woman who certainly
should know since she has done
Red Cross work in both wars and
pretty much in between times
also.
Her name is Mrs. Margaret
Hood Robbins. Back in 1915 she
organized the first Red Cross
Chapter in her home town of
Joplin, Mo. In 1917 she came to
Washington and worked for the
Bureau of Casualty Informa-
ton, of which Mr.. William r.
Castle was chief, and in 1918 she
went to Paris and continued the
same work in the branch of the
service that was opened there.
After 13 months OF the casualty
information work for the Red
Cross in Paris she returned to
Washington and went to work at
Walter Reed Hospital with the
Home Nursing Service. In 1921
she came to the District Chapter
of the Red Cross as assistant
secretary and treasurer, a posi-
tion from which she has retired
only recently.
In retrospect she says she finds
that the women were just as able
and just as hard-working in the
last war as this one. The main
difference is that there were not
nearly so many of them. For
every one who did war work then
there must be 10 now. Also, Mrs.
Robbins says, women in the last
war did not have the opportuni-
ties or the training that has
been available to them in this
war. AS a result they were more
handicapped and not in the same
position to do for our fighting
men and our wounded and their
families what is being done for
them now.
When you stop to realize that
there wasn't any such thing as
the Blood Donor Center-to men,
ton just one of the projects of
World War Two-you can see
how Red Cross alone has mush-
roomed into the enormous factor
that it has become in alleviating
pain and helping the war effort.
There are now so many va
rieties of work for women, so
many courses of training, that
the women of World War Two
can find a place-and a helpful
one-for their own particular
abilities.
No small factor in the training
and efficiency of these more mod
ern war-workers in the Red Cross
Mrs. Robbins feels, is the mar
velous work of organization done
by Miss Mabel Boardman. 1t
was she who kept American
women conscious of the need of
their being trained, and being
ready in any emergency, even in
peace times, that has made pos
sible the stupendous work of the
Red Cross of today.
American women always will
do their best. Mrs. Robbins feels,
and at last they have the oppor-
tunity of making the most of
every ability they possess.

LABOR SHORTAGE
TO GROW CRITICAL
War, Navy Depts. May
Have to Revise Plans for

Washington, July 3.-(UP)-The

clear today that the civilian labor
shortage will grow more critical in
the next II months unless the War
and Navy Departments revise down.
ward their present plans for an
armed force of II 300, 900 by July l,
1914.
The commissions warning came
as the senate received bill from
its military affairs committee that
would exempt married men with
children from the draft until Jan. /
1914. Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D.,
Mont, sponsor of the bill, hoped
to get senate action before con-
gress recesses for two months, but
was doubtful about his chances.
The commission placed the size OF
the armed forces as of July l at
100000. Wheeler contended that
this country cannot transport more
than 2,70O 900 men overseas by the
end of 1943, and only 4,700,000 in
1914.
The previously announced goal of
the armed forces as of Dec. 81, 1913,
is 100000 men and women, and
that is the figure the manpower
commission used. Reports have per-
sisted both in and out of congress
that the Army has decided to cut
back its manpower goals. Secretary
of War Henry L. Stimson has con-
firmed that the whole matter is I'M

es they are assigned to one OF the
