Plea for the Half Soldier
By-products of human, energy going to waste
when they should be 'easing the 'suffering '
American boys in hell-ridden Europe: '
In the Red Cross work it is the custom, I believe, to have all. the work
done in the Red Cross shop. No partf the accomplishment is allowed to
occur in one's home. For the rank and file of strong and healthy Tomen
this rule makes no particular difference, but to th really large company f
women who, reckon their vitality in small doses, and who find that the daily
rounds of "musts" uses up nearly all the' life force at their disposal, this
makes the question of "how can I do my bit" loom pretty large. H, after,
the, household tasks are finished, the husband off to his business, and the
children at school, it is necessary to dress and take a trip on the street car
many women will find it impossible to make the added effort. Some days
they might be able to go, but what is to become of all the half hours when
work might be done at home. After these minutes to be thrown away as
of no consequence? Are these women with their enthusiasm to be lost to
the great cause? Is the amount that they can do to be overlooked?
The Half Soldier.
I am one of the half soldiers myself, and I realize how bitterly these
women mourn that their health bars them from the 100 per cent class, and
from promising their full share of relief work. For that reason I have in
terested myself in what it is possible for a physically handicapped woman
to do, and I have discovered that it is a most amazing lot when broken up
into short periods of effort. I have one friend who never leaves her chair;
she is obliged by illness to remain in it; what she accomplishes is simply
stupendous. Another friend is troubled with headaches fearful ones, but
what she manages to turn in between these attacks will ease many a
suffering American boy in hellridden Europe. '
Consider the By-Product.
It seems to me that no sincere effort should be rejected. . We' can't
afford to reject the thousands of garments and gauze dressings that these
"home-tied" women could hand in. A successful business man considers
by-products. He lets nothing go to waste. How appallingly foolish to
throw away odds and ends of human energy which might be utilized for
such glorious achievement.
1 . Everything nowadays can be sterilized, so the danger of infection is
nothing. i
This is a big war and its vast ramifications include a humanitarian
management. It is not kind, nor is it the interest of efficency to discard the
worker at home 1 MARY LEARNED.
