Anyone who will not work to win
this war is as much a Hun as the
men who are fighting against our boys
"over there."
In this war women are to be con
sidered the second line-trenches.
Fact) knitter Is held responsible for
wool taken out. Finished garments
and left-over wool must be turned in
at headquarters Hnds of wool, no
matter how short, should be carefully
saved from knitting.
The new headquarters will be open
on Monday. A small shipment of
gauze was received on the Alameda,
anti work on surgical dressings will
he resumed.
_ ,
There is no single work so Impor
tant for the soldier ns (he vast cam
paign of knitting in which the Hed
Cross has marshaled the women of
the nation, and there is no subject
about which such misconceptions ex-1
1 ist, ami none that has been the sub-.
I
ject of so many fabrications.
Commit to memory the following!
lines and quote to the next gossip who \
tells you that you are wasting your j
time knitting:
"Absolute evidence have I none,
But my aunt's charwoman's sister's |
son '*■•**'.!' ' ■ t
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a housemaid on Downing'
street
That he had a brother who had a
friend
Who knew for a fact when the world
would end."
There is an official uniformed rep-j
resentative of the American Red Cross
in every army camp and cantonment i
and naval station of tho United!
States. This representative deter
mines the exact need for supplies at
his camp, requisitions them from
headquarters and distributes them
when received. When a request
comes into national headquarters at
Washington for supplies, each divi
sion headquarters is given a certain !
allotment; they in turn call for a
certain allotment from each of the
chapters under their jurisdiction The!
chapters then call upon their mem
bers.
The Cordova Chapter is part of the
Northwestern division, this division
comprising Alaska. Idaho, Oregon and,
| Washington
There are approximately 270,000,
refugees in France and nearly 50,000!
in free Belgium.
The American Red Cross has estab
lished a "milk route" in what is left
of free Belgium, and distributes milk
lor babies of families unable to pay.

More than $343,000 has been appro ,
priated by the American Red Cross for !
the care of American prisoners in Ger J
many.
An American Red Cross canteen
worker in France recently shattered
all records by serving 265 meals in
two hours and a half, or an average
of one meal every thirty-four seconds
Have you a boy In France? If so,
this article, "A Clearing House of
j Kindness”—a graphic picture of a
Red Cross canteen In France by an
eye-witness, will interest and console
you. Listen to the recommendation
of a private with a cup of hot choco
late in one hand and a cheese sand
wlch in the other, one elbow, to steady
the cup, on the canteen counter
"When I came over here I was ready
' to be surprised every other minute,
but I never thought I’d step out of
I the mud Into anything like this. Bay,
it’s just like a club Have you tried
the chow? Von can’t beat this choco
late and these sandwiches anywhere.
And we’ve a phonograph and maga
zines and everything. This is cer
tainly some place "—The Red Cross
Magazine for Jnly.
So many localities have claimed
the champion knitter of late that a
still hunt has been going on in Cor
dova. The real article has been un
* earthed, who knits a sweater in a day .
I and a half.

Townsend. Miss Florence Smith, Miss
Dorothy Dooley and Miss Harriett An
derson. one pair each, ('our sweaters

ment.

the new wool was turned In by Mrs

Miss Townsend, a guest at the Hotel
Northern.

In the Red Cross Magazine for July
there is an article by T Topping, the
former private secretary to the Hon.
Brand Whitlock at the time he was
United States minister to Belgium In
this article he writes;
"While the wave of horror and
loathing that swept the civilized world
at the news of the murder of Miss
Cavell spent itself in screeching head
lines and sweepinglv bitter comment,
in the heart of Louis Bril it assumed
i more concrete form
"One night while engaged in a game
jf chess with his friend, the school
master, in the little room that he oc
■upied on the top floor of an old
milding in Ixelles, where he kept out
>f sight of the Hermans, Bril sud
lenly whipped out two automatic re
volvers from his pockets—'brown
mugs,’ he called them—and said to
lis startled opponent:
"'One of the pills (pruneaux) in
his browneeng is for the man who
jetrayed Miss ('aveil, and 1 shall never)
-est until I get him.' "
Three wealthy farmers in Kansas
old their neighbors who were solicit
ng for the ited t'ross that "they had!
nude their own money and could do
as they pleased w itli it " They gave j
lie solicitors to understand they were!
entirely independent of the rest of'
he people The Wichita Beacon tells
what followed:
All the farmers in the township held
i meeting. Some of the more hot-j
headed ones proposed the use of tar. j
But one philosopher suggested some
thing worse. "We’ll take them at their)
word and have nothing to do with I
them," he satd.
Everyone present signed an agree
ment to cut off all relations with the
three Then they took the paper to
town and had the merchants sign it.
The next day one of the three farm
ers drove to town in his car to buy
some supplies. "I can't sell you any
thing." said the merchant. He went
to the hank and the banker said,
"Here's your money l don't want
your business." He went to the ga
rage to get some gasoline. “1 can’t
let you hare It," said the proprietor.
He then went to the telephone ex
change to telephone home for gaso
line. “You haven’t any telephone,"
Ing matter. Alaska haH produced
cut off."
