I Thought for the ay I J PERSON,
MOURNING.
Shall I wear mourning for my
soldier dead,
I a believer? Give me red.
Or give me royal purple for the
King
At whose high court my love is
visiting.
Dress me in green for growth,
for life made new;
For skies his dear feet march,
dress me in blue;
In white for his white soul robe
me in gold
For all the pride that his new
rank shall hold.
In earth's dim gardens blooms
no hue so bright
To dress me for my love who
' walks in light!

MRS. WtBOUN
Mrs. W. . Bolin is not only among the first Red Cross workers to
earn the coveted 500-hour button, but she has worked a lot of extra hours
for good measure; in fact, she didn't even add up the time she has spent
knitting.
The Public Shop is where the decoration was mostly earned. Every
Tuesday and Thursday nights and three or four days during the week Mrs.
Bolin devotes to surgical dressings. On Tuesdays she is chairman for
the day.
She also acts assupervisor for the Trinity Methodist Episcopal auxili
ary, which group of workers has won an enviable reputation for proficiency.
They have not only always completed their own quota but have often been
enlisted to lend a helping hand to other auxiliaries.
The pin, which is worn on the right side of the apron, is most artis
tically designed. The red cross of enamel is placed on a background of gold.
Bacteriological Training for Women.
Women are now being prepared for
technical positions in hospital labora
tories by a course given at the bac
teriological laboratory of the depart
in Philadelphia, according to the state
ment of Dr. C. Y. Young, chief
bacteriologist. The course is open to
women between the ages of 18 and 35
with high school educations, though
college graduates are preferred; but
all women taking the come pledge
themselves to accept government posi
tions at salaries offered bv the gov
ernment and to go wherever the gov
ernment needs technical laboratory
work. No charge is made for tuition,
the members of the laboratory force
having volunteered their services for
patriotic reasons, but a deposit of $5
is required for breakage, while books
for the course cost about $10.
The complete course, consisting of
four divisions, includes the prepara
tion of material for historical work,
and bacteriological diagnosis. As a
student completes each division, she
is given an examination, and, if she
obtains an average of 90 per cent, is
allowed to proceed to the next course.
Those who do not obtain 90 per cent,
but whose average is over 70 per cent,
are recommended to the eovemment
for the work they have satisfactorily
completed. The results of examina
tions will be furnished to the govern
ment upon request; but no information
regarding students will be given to
private enterprises, since the course
is intended to meet the needs of the
government.
Thirty-two women had heen in-
rolled in the school up to June 24, 1918,
and others will be accommodated
later.
Y. W. C. A. at Camo Dix.
Gen. II. S. Scott, who is in com
mand of Camp Dix., N. T., pays trib
ute to the work of the V. W. C. A.
through its soldiers clubs and hostess
house, "which keep the young men in
camp under refining influences."
"I am doing everything I can to
assist the women," said General Scott.
"The women of America have risen to
their responsibilities in this war in a
very remarkable manner, and I feel
sure that they will properly meet any
condition that may arise in the future.
In case the man power of the nation
should be depicted the women will
take the places of the men just as in
Russia where I have seen women fir
ing locomotives and commanding a
battalion; and the women of America
are in no manner a whit behind those
of any nation."
