WHAT THE
RED CROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
Tho Bureau of Supplies might be called the American Red Cross
Goods Company, for it purchases through its Wellington office tremendoudl
quantities of all materials which are needed for making tho various article*
manufactured in Red Cross Workrooms. Through the advantage of this cen1
tralized buying plan, Chapters are enabled to purchase materials at ex4
ceedingly low costs.
Tho Bureau of Supplies specializes in materials needed for all surgical
dressings, in yarn for knitting and some of the materials for the more im^
portant of the retugee garments, and especially the large quantities of mate^
rials for pajamas, bed shirts, bed socks, bathrobes, bed Jackets, and tho moral
Important articles for hospital and patients' use.
The Bureau of Supplies' business is
handled in exactly tho samo way that
any large dry goods business would
be handled, and since its establish-
ment some six months ago has be-
come one of the large dry goods bus-
inesses of the Southwest. Chapters
find it convenient to purchase from the
Bureau of Supplies owing to the fact
that prices are attractive, and that all
materials sold are Red Cross stand-
ards, the materials being the proper
Weight and texture. ,
through the patriotic spirit and co-
operation of local dealers, many Chap-
ters are enabled to buy tho materials
they need, more especially those for
hospital garments and patients' cloth-
ing, through their local merchants,
who sell to them at special Red Cross
prices.
Chapters are showing that they
havo a great understanding of busl
ness methods, as they have learned
that owing to the scarcity of materials,
due to war causes, and owing to the
great congestion of the railroads, it
takes a longer *me than usual for
shipments to reach points, nnd for this
reason they havo put business methods
into use and have learned that they
must anticipate their needs In order
to receive materials at tho time thoy
(should be put Into worn:.
Another end of the Bureau of Suih
plies is the examining, repacking an<|
shipping of all the articles the Chain
ters make. These are assembled at
the St. Louis warehouse, there opened]
examined and properly sorted, and
shipped to Eastern ports for use
abroad, or else sent to the canton^
ments to covor the needs of those ot
our men In service In this country. |
At present the Bureau of Suppllei
has over 100 peoplo in its employ be^
sides some 30 volunteers. It occupies
a warehouse with 50,000 square feet of
spare, which Is far larger than the
ordinary business houses, and is in
every way equipped to be of an aid
and service which equals the intensity
of tho women workers. Through the
combination of tho volunteer worker#
of tho Chapters and the American Red
Cross Bureau of Supplies, tho Red
Cross now Is tho largest garment and
bandage supply factory In tho world.
Through the Increased membership
there are 24,000,000 volunteers availa-
ble, and reports indicate that the new
membership Is going to be as active
In participation as the older members.

FASHION SHOW
FRIDAY NIGHT
Owing to Thursday Being

Owing to the fact that Thursday
night is lightless night, the Shaw-
nee merchants have decided to ur.-
veil the windows on Friday night,
March first instead of Thursday
night, February twenty eighth as at
first planned.
Fashion Show week has become a
ery popular annual feature both in
the spring and in the fall in Shaw-
nee. Several of the stores have men
who make a specialty of window
trimming and display work and the
windows at these times arc as attrac-
tive as can bo found anywhere in
