Red Cross Fills Women' Dy.
The wave of work for Red Cross
and war relief if sweeping westward
with ever increasing force. At first
it wai merely desultory, and then the
National Surgical Dressings commit
tee enlarged its work by taking a
room in the Baird building and estab
lishing circles of workers. The move
ment became systematized. Now we
have "hives of Red Cross workers in
every part of town and representing
every organization. It is becoming
increasingly difficult almost impos
siblefor even the frivolously in
clined to pretend that anything but
relief work should have a place in our
thoughts. . , ' '
Mrs. A. L. Reed said yesterday:
"We are working at such a pace that
it is hard to tell how long we will
last. I think, though, that soon mat
ters will be systematized in such a way
as to give everyone something to do
'without burdening anyone. When
the work was new people rushed into
half a dozen things at once. They
couldn't stand it Now that we are
necommg aajusicu wc wm us
to work well without wearing our
selves out." ' ,
If you want to find any of Omaha s
social leaders it is safe for you to fol
low such a schedule as this on regular
days. From 12 midnight to 8 or 9 in
the morning they are home. From 9
to 12 make the rounds of the Red
Cross, Surgical Dressings committee,
League for Woman Service headquar
ters, in the Baird building, the Army
building or the Nurses' club, and you
will see the faces that you want.
From 12 to 1 look in at the Fontenelle
or at some of the homes to find your
quarry, and then from about 2 to 6
make the rounds again and you will
have the day until dinner time, when
home is usually the place to find the
workers. Some even devote the time
after dinner to teaching classes of
girls who cannot give their days to
Red Cross, but others take their
recreation in the evening.
An interesting appeal for thrift was
made in England recently, which we
hope will never reach us yi all its
stringency:
