■ RED CROSS IS
SCOUTING FOR
MEMBERSHIPS
The third Red Cross roll call is now
on, and every resident of Cordova
and the opper River valley should
take out a membership in this organ
ization. All it requires is a heart |
and a dollar.
Membership in the Red Cross is the
spirit of humanity in terms of action.
The world war developed the humani
tarian spirit of America on lines that
made it an inspiration to all civiliza
tion. No single agency can serve to
better advantage in preserving the
fruits of that inspiration to the rest of
mankind than the American Red
Cross. That is one of the reasons
why the membership should be kept
at the high level at the close of the
war.
This year, in fact, may be said to
niark the crucial period with respect
to the future greatness of ihe Ameri
can Red Cross. Keeping up the spirit
at this time means an inspiration to
those who are to follow us, and will
lead to practically automatic regis
tration in connection with roll calls
in the years to come. The task of
combatting reaction of indifference,
due to the relaxing of war-time enthu
siasm, should be found easier by rea
son of the dual incentive to continu
ance of interest—the necessity of pro
viding for the administration of im
mediate relief in places made wretch
ed by the war, as well as the inaugu
ration of the general peace-time pro
gram in behalf of human welfare at
home and abroad.
The Red Cross belongs to all the
people; and it should be everybody's
in letter as well as in spirit. Mem
bership is the key. The spirit is om
nipresent—and the heart responds
when the mind understands. If the
roll call workers see to it that there
is full understanding, success will be
sure to follow.
FORTY-EIGHT VESSELS
OF WOOD CONSTRUCTION
MOORED IN LAKE UNION
SEATTLE, Nov. 3 (by Associated
Press).—A gray fleet of forty-eight
war-built, uncompleted, wooden cargo
vessels tug idly at their moorings in
Lake Union, near the heart of Seattle.
**stThe boats, some of them barely more
than hulls, are owned by the United
States Shipping Board, and are worth
$12,000,000, it has been estimated.
Most of them are ready to receive
their engines.
“Ships that didn't get a chance,”
they have been called, as the war
which rushed them onto the ways and
into the waters ended before they
reached the seas to do their share in
forming a part of “Pershing’s bridge”
to carry American men and supplies
across the Atlantic to France.
Side by side the ships lie, most of
them in a long row near one of Se
attle’s lake boulevards. After being
launched at various Northwest yards,
several at formal exercises, the ships,
one by one, were towed to Lake Union
to wait for the day when they will
be completed and set to sail the seven
seas.
There is talk of American, Swedish,
British and other buyers for the “gray
company” of vessels. Some of them
have been advertised for sale, but as
yet none has been sold. Sixty watch
men are on duty at the ships day and
night, and fire tugs ply around the
fleet. On fair days they play their
hose on the decks, drenching them as
fire protection.
The Red Cross—a work of the heart
on a sound business basis.
It’s the flavor and the grain which
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous.

CONCERNING I C e •! I • «
OUR I or family washing coming
| ™a°trons into our laundry recently,
| iiPiiiiiiiiiiiir being unusual for this time of
year, naturally excited our curi
osity as to where it all came
from, so we investigated.
In going down the names of
more than six hundred of our
regular customers, we found
that the most progressive and
up-to-date women are among
our patrons. We do not mean
that only the well-to-do women
are our customers, but we mean
the women who live in well
kept homes, who know how to
maintain them economically,
11.iiiiiiiiiiiiif and at the same time, how to re
! SEND IT lieve themselves of tasks involv
iHiHiiiii drudgery or tending to dis
turb the equilibrium of the fam
ily home life.
We found them to be women
w ho have time to take an inter
est in things outside of their
homes without neglecting them,
and who employ themselves at
home in ways that are more
profitable and pleasing.
Brainy women who think out
their household problems, who
look to the future—as business
men do in their important busi
ness affairs—women who have
!;j: iPPilPlillliillii .
! modern done and could do a home wash
i (jAonNeDsRY ing as good as any housewife,
| LP™ and women with plenty of
iiiiiii strength and energy, too.
* But above all, women who
have reasoned out that in the
long run washing done at home
or by inexperienced persons un
der unsanitary conditions, find
that the losses are more than the
gains—in money, time, comfort,
health and the attention to their
families which is the right of
every family to expect and the
joy of every right - thinking
woman to give.
You can appreciate the feel
ing of pride and satisfaction that
was ours in making such a dis
covery, yet we found, too, that
there were still a few names
that should be there, but are not.
The only excuse we could make
for them is that they have not
yet learned the advantages to
be derived in the long run by
sending the washing to an es
tablishment of over fifteen
years’ experience, that washes
and handles clothes by the most
modern, scientific and sanitary
methods — handled mostly by
strong, clean and healthy em
ployes, who are an asset to the
community—also that it is bet
ter to pay a few cents more for
the satisfaction that would be
theirs, the money they would
save by longer wear of clothes.
Begin now. Let us show that
we can do for you what we are
doing for hundreds of others.
