Knights of Columbus
I March 11th To March 16th
The Knights of Columbus have established and are establishing recrea
tion centers in the military camps in this country and Prance. These centers
are life-savers for the soldiers. They not only rest and restore them phys
ically. but they are a boon to them mentally. They are home w the home
sick and medicine to the worn out. The camp® couldn't get along without
them Creed is forgotten; religious lines are wiped out in this work. Protest
ants are as welcome as Catholics. No man is asked what he believes or
whether he believes. It's just; "What do you need?”
Every Cordovan who gives to this fund is contributing to the comfort of
the soldiers.
Don’t wait to be asked to give, ft is your duty to see that your dollars
get into the fund If you have given already, give again—give until it hurts
You will never have an opportunity to put your dollars to a better use.
Approved and indorsed by President Wilson, Ex-President
Taft, Ex-President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Baker, Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, General Pershing, Commanding Offi
cers of Every Cantonment, by the Press of the Country, by
Clergymen of Every Denomination.

BIG BUSINESS BUILDINGS
HAVE RED CROSS CHAPTERS
(By Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES. March 5.—Red
Cross chapters in the large office
buildings of this city have brought im
petus to the membership campaign of
that society, and have made active
workers hundreds of women and girls
employed as stenographers, account
ants, and in other business positions.
The new chapters have been organ
ized exclusively from feminine work
ers in the various buildings. In every
instance, the building management has
been willing to donate a room or rooms
rent free for the chapter work, and in
nearly every case ample furnishings
have been secured without cost by
loans from the building management
or tenants.
The office building chapters keep
their doors open through usual busi
ness hours, and the girls spend their
lunch time, rest periods, and a few
minutes early in the morning or late
in the afternoon at the work. Usually
they hold regular meetings once or
twice a week in the evenings.
Groups of busy workers are always
about the tables, and hospital supplies
—their specialty—are turned out in
large quantities. The girls all don
white caps and aprons, the usual home
workers’ uniform, and add a touch ol
war interest to the business corridors
as they trip from their places of em
ployment to the chapter rooms and
back again when opportunity offers.

The Knights of Columbus war fund
has found a sterling ally in the per
son of John McCormack, the world
renowned tenor. Mr. McCormack is
featuring the song, “There’s a Long
Long Trail,' in his various concert pro
• grams, and has requested (he publish
ers or the song, M. Witmark & Sons
of New York, to divide his royalties
from it between the Knights of Colum
bus war fund and the Red Cross.
“There's a Long, Long Trail" is om
of the most popular songs at presen
before the pitblis, and it seems des
tined to enjoy an increasingly wid1
vogue because, while a ballad, its an
thors evidently wrote and compose
'the song in an hour of genuine inspire
tion and not merely with the inter
tion of producing a best seller. Th
result is that “There's a Long, Lon
Trail fills a popular need of expres
sion in the stressful times of war, air
it is easily credible that the song. ;
tuneful production containing worth;
sentiment, is widely known and sun:
in the trenches, on fighting ships am
everywhere where men and womei
find themselves in the emotional moot
for song. The fact that John McCoi
mack has given “There’s a Long, Loni
Trail" a prominent place in his reper
toire is a guarantee of its quality, am
the added fact that the K. of C. wa
fund benefits substantially by its sal
should stimulate the demand for th:
song among well-wishers of the fund,

DISCOVER ‘ PIC-KNITTERS"
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 5 —
Coincident with a recent appeal from
I the Red Cross for more workers there
( came to light here a sidelight on the
views of women now giving many hours
of their time each week toward those
who put in plenty of time knitting fcr
themselves.
Pig-knitters" is the designation
coined by determined workers to des
ignate those who are considered to bo
camouflaging their personal comfort,
i under seemingly patriotic aspect. A
"piR-knitter" is one who appears in
public places devoted to work for the
soldiers and toils for herself or her
civilian friends, using time and mater
ial which might make for the comfort
of a man in the trenches.
