For, "lo and behold when the door is opened we find one of our most prominent women outside, but her v garb hardly looks like a formal call, ar from it; she has come to collect tour old papers and magazines for the )alvage department of the Red Cross knd her calling-tards she has left at Iiome with her white gloves. For these are war times and the old order certainly changeth.4 .' . Mrs. Harry G. Jordan, who isiwell versed in the art of driving, is to be een in the car at almost any hour of the day. This doesn't mean rolling along the shady boulevards breathing in great whiffs of spring air, but it means driving up hill and down dale, transporting civilian relief workers ' from place to place.

For the entire year of 1918, 25,000 nurses must be enrolled to assure our expanding army and navy of adequate care. As the nurses come forward to an swer their country's call, other young women who are educated and desir able must enter nurses' schools to keep the ranks filled and provide serv ice for the people at home. Courses may be taken at a number -of places throughout the country, arid every Red Cross chapter can give informa tion to young women who wish to study. Making surgical dressings and hos pital garments are important, but if there are no nurses to apply them to our wounded soldiers they would be useless.

The Woman-Soldier in Porto Rico It woujd be hard to find more en thusiastic woman-soldiers of the food administration than the housewives of Porto Rico, who have heroically rev olutionized their whole- system of cooking in order to make it conform to the program of the United States food administration. Before the war, the Porto Rican housewife thought no dish was wor thy of her table unless it contained a generous amount of lard. Most of the native dishe were fried, but even on the rare occasions when the housewife boiled or baked, she used lard freely. Boiled rice, for instance, one of the most popular dishes, -was always served with lard not only put into the rice before it was boiled, but a generous amount usually added just before the dish was served.
