Miss Rose decided it was
time for her to go abroad
when she met a noted Indian
woman who had much to do
with feeding midas millions
of hungry people.
How is it, the visitor de-
manded of Miss Rose, that
you, too, are feeding Indians,
have supplied something like
seven million meals to my
country, and l never heard of
you or your work?"
Miss Rose went to India last
spring, visiting 10 other coun-

she attended a Meals for Mil

nutritional problems.
The meeting was a great
success, and DR.. Panjabrao S.
Denhmukh, Indian Minister

act was to initiate the research
which led to the selection of

when the war was raging in
Europe. In 1915, when the
United States had not yet
joined the conflict she had
finished training at Old Emer-

Robert Lansing and sailed to
serve with the Volunteer Nurse

BY VILLA POE WILSON

The memories of some Of
the women serving with dis
tinction in Government, or
CARNATIONS and campaigns,
are apt to veer back these days
to the time when they were
pioneers in the army Of Red
Cross volunteers.
For to them the summer Of
1856 not only marks the 18th
anniversary of the incorpora-
ton of the American Red
Cross. but brings nostalgia
thoughts of their own enlist
ments under the Red Cross
banner; in that summer of
1916-40 years ago-when the
Red Cross began to mobilize
American women to train for
service at home and overseas.
These veterans Of the Red
Cross of the First World War
days recall their eagerness to
follow the example Of groups
of American men, who organ
lied the Plattsburg IN. W
military training camps and
similar camps in other parts
of the country because they
realized the necessity for pre-
paredness for service and ma
tional defense. The women
wanted to be trained in the
tasks they would be called
upon to perform if the United
States entered the war then
raging in Europe.
These women who answered
there" when the war came
display a tinge of pride as they
rehearSe their acceptance of
the hardships that accompa-
MED service in the First World
War. However, they remember
that they considered the Red
Cross methods of those days
the use of sterilized gauze
and SO forth-very up to date.
They used to contrast the Red
Cross methods with those re-
corded of women gathering to
scrape lint, from their best
linens. to be used to staunch
wounds in the Civil War; or to
sew heavy muslin on sewing
machines to make bandages in
the Spanish-American war.
Since their Red Cross service
has been continuous they dis
course learnedly on the
streamlined, highly techni-
cal and scientific methods of
the Second World War. They
indulge in a most pardonable
satisfaction, that it was their
experience and service in the
First World War that made
them of such inestimable value
as leaders and organizers when
the Red Cross modified for
the Second World War-and
in the years of veterans re-
Mobilization that have followed
the war.

has retired after first being a
pioneer and then a veteran
Army hostess: but she still
lives the life of the Army in
her little house just back of
Fort Myer. She rejoices that
she can hear every hugle call
and the ceremonial music and
commands as her country's
flag is raised in the morning
and lowered at retreat. She
still keeps up correspondence
with many of the men-and
their families-she knew over
seas or as an Army hostess.
They frequently come to see
her.

dreds Of women TO manipulate.
She still volunteers when her
services and advice are needed;
although she retired some
years ago.
One of Miss Cox favorite
stories of the first Red Cross
surgical dressing classes CEN
tiers about Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth. Mrs. Longworth came
to the class with a group of
friends to learn to do her bit.
The gauze would not behave;
1t was hard to manage to
achieve the meticulous perfec-
ton demanded. So, Princess
Alice" crumbled up her piece
of gauze. She said that if the
war had to be won that way
it would be without her.
"Curity" always adds that she
found out that Princess Alice"
was doing real war service
along a very "hush hush" Zine
that had nothing to do with
folding gauze.

of the depression. When the
New Deal came in and estab-
lished a Federal relief program
for the jobless, he turned his
interest to basic nutrition
problems, which eventually
produced M.P.F.
Mr.. Clinton found that the
world was distressingly slow
in accepting his revolutionary
new product, even in the areas
where famine is chronic.
All gifts of M.P.F. were CRATE
fully accepted, but there was
not, as he had envisioned, a
rush on the part Of other gov
ernments to set up their own
local plants, using whatever
protein food they had in sur
plus supply.
Now AttAtuuC 4NOtCu
This attitude has begun to
change recently. And many ma
tions, notably India and Brazil,
are about to begin producing
a multi-purpose food on their
own home ground. The Indian
government already has ap-
propriated money for a pilot
plant to turn out five tons a
day. Future plans, for which it
may need some outside finan-
cial help. call for erection of
eight additional plants.
India will make its M.P.F.
from ground nuts peanuts,
which are in plentiful supply
there. Iran is experimenting
with surplus dates and ses-
anne, Mexico with sesame, the
Philippines with fish meal and
the South Pacific with COCO
nuts.
Miss Florence Rose. execu-
tive secretary of Meals for
Millions, a non-profit founda-
ton, is in Washington now In
vestigating what funds or
technical assistance might be
available from this Govern
ment for countries which are
ready to build their own plants.
She will pursue the subject
with United Nations and pri-
vate philanthropic groups in
New York later this week.
So far. the project has been
supported entirely by private
contributions. These still are
desperately needed, Miss Rose
says, not only to combat STAR
walton, but even more i'm
portant, to continue the educa-
tional work in the many areas
of the world where multi
purpose food still is largely
unknown. Contributions may
