Anything with grease or oil in it is
tvrrihly expensive. That is why soap
is. so dear and so hard to get. The
Germans took away of course every

how hard it is to live without soap.
Personally 1 think it would be most

expressed at the house wanning of th
club members Saturday evening.
The living room is furnished with a

and a two hole gas stove are provided.
The rest room is well completed a Is

Miss M. A. Anderson, chairman of
the committee in charge, called the

about' the rooms and names for tho
same wre suggested; Silence and So
cial being adopted. Miss J. C. Nelson
made a brief speech and Miss M L.
Fossler gave a abort history of the
forming of the Women's Faculty cluh.
The need for a few faculty women
working in the Red Cross rooms each
day was brought out in a speech by
Miss Rod field, instructor In surgical
dressings. The older members work
ing with the girls could shorn- them the
importance of doing the work well.
Mrs. Nicholson, wife of our former
chemistry professor, who is now doing
Red Cross work in France, reports that
she spent hours making over work
which in the first place was poorly
done. It will not be long until our
boys will need dressings and the dan
ger that a million dressings may be
sunk on the way over should stimulate
everyone to help.
Miss B. C. Grant- made a brief report
on the work being done by the Food
