Mr
the opening of the same as far as out- j
put is concerned, but there is one phase i
of the matter which is not satisfactory. |
The same ladies have been returning
day after day and doing all the work
which should be divided among all the j
ladies living in that part of the city.
The rooms were opened for the bene-1
fit of the ladies of the east side and j
they are not responding as they should. I
Many have the excuse that they could'
not bring their children to the court I
house to work. That obstacle is now(|
done away with. The camp fire girls,!
have very kindly consented to act as'
play ground supervisors every day in
the week and the mothers can feel safe
in bringing their children and leaving;
them in the care of the girls. Now if
the ladies of Altus have any further ex-
cuses to keep from helping win the war,
just tell them to the Red Cross officials
and they will be explained away. Do
not allow a few women to work until
they are worn out helping to make gar-
ments for your boy. or your husband,
while you stay at home and try to win
the war bv wishing for peace. COME
OUT AND WORK YOU ARE
NEEDED

Correction : Ella Gayle Ditzler was
not credited with 3 hours and 30 min-
utes for work reported in last week's
paper. Mrs. S. C. Hickman was also
not given full credit of hours, exact
number not now known.

A* To Knitting: From Headquarters
We want socl« and ever more socks,
hut please do not put notes in them. |
We have no authority for this practice,
and the notes will be removed. Uncle
Sam wants his mail carried in the usual .
way. .
If Chapters in need of sock yarn aref|
furnished with the heavier yarn instead,
thev should use it for sweaters. Socks
should only be made of the lighter
grades, and the right quality is hard to
get. Indeed, the yarn situation is a I
serious handicap, but yoit can all help
with this. We have already suggested
that you lend your influence to stop
the use of yarn for purposes for which
-ome other material might be found. J
This will help, hut there is still another!
thing that we can do. we can increase
the supply of wool. Why should not
Mary's little lamb cease to be a mere
fiction of the nursery and become a I
living ornament to our back yards? I
The children would love it. the grass
upon our lawns would be kept smooth
with the constant service of a lawn!
mower, and those little lambs would
he working day and night to grow wool
for next year's supply of yarn. Presi-
dnet Wilson has set u< the example,
and the wool from the sheep pastured
upon the White House lawn has been
sold for the benefit of the Red Cross.

Sewing by Proxv— In. some, places j
members of the Red Cross prefer to.
devote r'teir trme to cultivating Har-
dens. raising chickens, canning fruit
or in other ways earning money, using
the proceeds to hire a seamstress to
make Red Cross garments for them. ]
The question has been raided whether i
<.r not this is legitimate Red Cross I
work. We think it is. and would like
tn see the plan adopted more widely
than it has been. If your talent lies in
[the direction of gardening rather than
j sew in ir you can get better results hv
using that talent to the full, and your
I effort ran he translated into carments
through another woman's fingers.
