▲ striking example of the mingled
pathos and service of the American
Red Cross for soldiers In the camps Is
related In a letter from T. T. Flagler,
field director of the Southern Divi-
sion, Atlanta, Oa., to Henry S. Thomp-
son, director of the Bureau of Camp
Service, Washington.
An extract from Flagler’s letter fol-
lows:
"1 was alone In the office one after-
noon, trying to burn anthracite coal
In a wood stove, when there was a
knock on the door and out of the rain.
•Sis** and Miutw Mm. of the beer
looking types of American manhood 1
have seen In some time. He was of
striking appearance and a bad cough
which he had and the paleness of his
face showed that he was convalescent.
He brought a note from his command
ing officer stating yiat the bearer was
a motorcycle rider and was just get-
ting over the grip and was very much
in need of knitted articles.
“I took the man down to the ware-
house, and on the way down he men-
tioned that several sweaters he had
seen had cards on them giving the
name of the woman whp had knitted
them, and asked me if I couldn't get
him. tusweater with such staid on it,
us he wanted to write a letter of
thanks. -
"On entering the warehouse • it
chanced that the first sweater I
picked up had stitched to it a little
bluck-bordered card bearing the name
and address of the woman and In a
little, thin, shaky hand the following
words:
“ ‘1 am 71 years old, and God bless
you, boy.’
"When the soldier saw the littt-
card he gathered up hiH helmet, wrist
lets, muffler and sweater, anil his
eyes were actually filled with tbars
as he turned to me and said, 'Isn’t
that splendid? That is Just what 1
wanted?’”

We saw recently a part of the

WHAT THE
RED TROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
WOMEN’S WORK DEPARTMENT.
One of the most Important branches of Red Cross work which has been
undertaken by the Woman’s Department is that of providing clothing for
tfie hundreds of thousands of refugees in the districts that have been devaa
tuled by the war. At present it is the French and Belgian refugees for whom
the appeal is being made. The various pattern companies have published
patterns of the garments, and many of our Red Cross Chapters have taken up
the work of making the clothing.
This is work that can be done in the central sewing rooms of the Chap-
ters. or it can be done at home, as the workers may prefer.
The garments made must above all
else be durable. It is useless to sen 1
over articles made from flimky mate-
rials that cannot stand the very hard
wear they will get. For this reason
we are not asking for secondhand
clothing. Partially worn garments
should be kept for the poor in this
country, and wc ahould- send abroad
only things made of new strong ma-
terials.
Materials for outer garments should
he of dark colors. They may be fig-
ured, striped or plain colors, prefer-
ably black, gray or navy blue—never
red and very Utile green. The i< rencli
people have a dislike of bright color.-,
in clothing, and at this time, when
every family- is in mourning, the}
seem particularly Inappropriate. Even
the clolhing for the little children
Should be dark, excepting, of course,
that for the babies, it in almost im-
possible to get laundry work done
properly. There is no soap lo be had,
and little hot water. All these condl
•tlons must be considered in selecting
ihe materials for Ihe clothing.
There is need for atynit twice as
much underwear as outer garments,
and this holds true in all ages. There
is a special need for clothing for the
children from 1 to 3 years of ago. If
your local stores do not have the Red
Cross patterns they may be ordered,
through your Red Cross chspter, of
our supply servlco at 817 North Broad
way, Bt. Louis.

no other agency outside the War De-
partment ilself is so potent a factor to
that end is recognized and admitted
generally. Every supporter of the Red

tually is helping to save the world for
democracy and to crush the unspeak-
able house of llohenzollern.
The report made by Director Stono
shows that jJ3t),000 sweaters were dis
tributed up to Feb. 1 to soldiers lu
eight large camps and cantonments,
several smaller camps and to the army
which constantly is on guard on the
Mexican border. But sweaters was

diers, and In many Instances, when
necessity arose for supplies of differ

army requisitions through fast enough

tors in the different ramps, always on
the alert for .^ch emergencies and
armed with authority to spend money
freely when necessity arose, stepped
in and provided whatevfer was needed

men.
From Spoons to Automobiles.
In addition to the sweaters, 44.370
mufflers were distributed. Other items
were as follows: Socktt. 56,373; blan
kets, 1,160; wristlets, 27,851; helmets,
5.109; Christmas packages, 116,657;

automobiles were touring cars neces-
sary for the proper transportation .of
sick soldiers from their quarters to
hospitals. Nearly 600,000 items. 571,
925 to be ejfact, were distributed
Their diversity is illustrated by the
following list (alien 'from Director
Stoner's report: Towels, pajamas,
comfort kits, playing cards, tooth
brushes, tooth paste, condensed milk,
oil heaters, drugs, bed sheets, p.llow
cases, rubber gloves, soup, Toot pow-
