ENROLL
RED CROSS ASKS
FOR VOLUNTEERS
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Workers Needed to Conduct
Third Roll Call.
RECRUITING LISTS OPEN
Every Local Chapter Will Enlist Men
and Women to Obtain Annual
Memberships From Novem
ber 2 to 11.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
volunteer workers will be needed In
the Central Divi
sion to conduct the
third roll cull of
the American Red
Cross, November 2
to II.
An appeal la
_ made from Cen
tral Division headquarters in Chicago
calling upon the men and women of ev
ery community to enlist for the ten-day
campaign to secure dollar annual
memberships. With approximately
000 chapters in the division, this num
ber will allow for about -WO workers to
a chapter. Every chapter will be a
recruiting office for these workers.
Workers Will Wear Badges.
Each worker will be supplied with a
badge proclaiming that the wearer is a
volunteer worker for the Red Cross
The success of the campaign will, in
reality rest upon the shoulders of
these volunteer workers, as the third
roll call cannot be a success without
a complete organization.
The purpose of the campaign Is to
obtuin, as nearly as possible, a univer
sal enrollment in the Red Cross as an
expression of confidence in the past
performances of the Red Cross and a
reaffirmation of allegiance to the prin
ciples which will guide its work In the
future. In order to do tills every man
and woman in the territory of each
chapter must be asked to Join the Red
Cross, and this will require the serv
ices of hundreds of workers. The
Central Division wants at least 4,000,
000 enrollments for 1920. Special
stress during the campaign will be
placed upon the annual one-dollar
memberships in order to make the roll
call an appeal to all the people.
Past Campaigns Successful.
Success has attended all Red Cross
activities in the Central Division In
the past. In the the last war fund
drive this division, with a quota of
$13,800,000, subscribed $21,307,002.83.
In the second roll call, more than 4,
000,000 were enrolled.
The money quota for the Central
Division Is $3,000,000. Throughout the
nation, the Red Cross will enlist 20,
000,000 members and raise $15 000,000
to carry on its International, national
and local work.

Chapters Provide Emergency Relief
Committees and Establish Supply
Centers to Answer Appeals.
Preparedness for disaster relief on
a scale never before possible is being
undertaken by the
American Bed
Cross as one of
the Important
features of its new
peace program, in
support of which a
nationwide Third
Roll Coll will be conducted from Nov.
2 to 11 to obtain 110,000,000 members
and $15,000,000.
Plan Survey of Supplies.
Since 1900 disasters of peace have
cost many thousands of lives and
have brought personal injury or prop
erty loss to 1,500.000 persons, destroy
ing property valued at $1,000,000,000.
During 1917 eighty disasters were re
ported to the American Red Cross.
Oil tornadoes, 5 floods, 4 great tires,
two earthquakes, two serious mine
disasters, two munition plant explo
sions and the tragic calamity which
befell Halifax.
Under the direction of the Red
Cross the entire resources of ull com
munities will be mobilized for instant
use w'hen needed. Chapters every
where will create committees to make
surveys, locating emergency food sup
plies, drugs, hospital supplies, cots,
mattresses, blankets, clothing, armor
ies, schools and other buildings for
housing refugees and will canvass phy
sicians, nurses, social workers and
others prepared to respond instantly
to calls for their services in disasters.
National Resources Available.
The thirteen divisional organiza
tions will establish disaster relief sup
ply centers and take charge of opera
tions when assistance is needed. In
cases of major dTsasters where the
resources of the division in which it
occurs are overtaxed, the entire
strength of the Red Cross in the coun
try may be mobilized through national
headquarters.
Fifty base hospitals organized by
the American Red Cross and turned
over to the government for use with
the military forces will he ready for
immediate service.
NURSING CLASSES PLANNED

These classes are being Introduced in
to public schools and colleges and are
offered to employees of department
stores and factories, girl scouts, or
anyone who desires to ieam to prevent
Illness as far as possible, and to care
for the patient when Illness comes.
Backless Evening Gowns.
Backless evening gowns as shown in
Paris continue to cause consternation.
Jenny, one of the most cautious of
makers usually, is exhibiting mnny
gowns that are scarcely more than
elaborate skirts with a pretense of a
bodice at the front and in the baek
there Is actually no more than a gir
dle. As the afternoon dresses are
short In the sleeve and frequently
decollete, it Is apparently necessary
to differentiate In one way or another.
Oh! Yes, Indeedy.

One Test of a Vacation.
A vacation is a success if the vaca
tionist comes back with the conscious
ness that work is an easy Job.
Getting Together.
“How do you meet the high cost of
living?" "You are not supposed to
meet it. It overtakes you.”
Quite Logical.
“How did the story you cooked up
to fool your wife pan out?”
"in a regular family stew."
Easily Named.
“Can you tell me what fire the yel- f
low races?” ‘'Sine I can. They're the '
oues with the crooked jockeys.”—Bal
timore American.
Bad Substitute.
• “Have you a fireless cooker?"
“No, but we have a cookless fire."—

His Preference.
“My husband reads me like an open
book." ”1 wonder if he wouldn't j
rather shut you up."

The Modern Family Doctors.
“Who Is your family doctor?"
“I can’t tell you.”
“Why not? Don’t you know his
name?"
“Yes. Doctor Johnson used to he our
family doctor, but nowadays .mother
goes to an eye specialist; father to
n stomach specialist; sister goes to
a throat specialist; my brother Is In
the care of a lung specialist and I’m
taking treatments from an osteo
pntb."
The Result.
“He seems to be a scrubby sort of
follow.” “Naturally. He made his
money in soap.”
Then Pick Away.
Profiteer—"What makes you work
so hard?" The Common One—"Sure,
an’ I'm too nervous to steal, sir."
Not Quite So Bad.
“Have you that runabout on your
bands?" “No, but I have a ruu-a
rotmd on my finger.”
